  1. Ray Ban's  (real ones) will have a P next to the Ray Ban on corner  of lens if they are polarized. Just because they're high end doesn't mean they are automatically polarized.

  2. Mexicans have been picking the crops in Calif. as long as I can remember. I grew up in the heart of Ag. land. They came to pick crops, sent the money back to their families in Mexico. No  kids of the migrants enrolled in school. Now....they are no longer only in the fields, they have taken over all warehouse, farming, construction and slaughterhouse jobs. And....they have taken their families with them to live here.

     

    The area I grew up in is like I said was all farming and orchards. At that time they came to pick the crops and moved on to the next crop, they didn't settle down and live there permanently. When season was over they went back to Mexico. I worked on a large dairy through my teen years and not a single illegal working there. Now, illegals do all the work on dairies. 

     

    The citizens of the US are not entirely blameless in all this because the younger generation have become so lazy with a sense of entitlement that they feel manual labor is beneath them. But then these jobs that used to provide a decent living no longer pay enough to provide a decent standard of life.

    It's just "trump" doing his demagogue dance. It's a shame that any Americans still follow him.

    We finally have a president who is addressing the issue of illegal aliens at our southern border with diligence.

    Let's face it........... They would probably not want to read Thai or English................

    And would prefer NOT BE ASKED to cease something that they and their grandparents have done since long before 'The White Man' (Farangs) came along.............

    They aren't ready for the modern world............ They don't understand 'IT' (the Modern World)

    In my time around Ban Chang I have had it pointed out to me that it is some of the 'Cheapest Real Estate' in all Thailand....... And a reason given was all the Polution created by the Refineries and Factories in Maup Ta Phut...... just nearby......  Nobody wants to live in that Pollution........

    The real estate in Phla is very, very...very far from cheapest land in Thailand and prices are escalating rapidly.

    I had it done cos Mrs.Trans drives it.....bored.gif.a99a40b72402e60b5f429fc91c9c7a81.gif

    When I brought the truck home the old ladies from the small soi did their little ceremony, trip to temple for the monk to do his thing with the string. At a later date had the sharpie tattoo added to inside headliner. It's not that I'm a big believer in all that but what the heck, I figured it couldn't hurt.

    I would respectfully like to add that it is my belief Border Security is a very real problem. One that Trump is battling.

    Not at all.  One of the notable features about Trump-suckers is the baiting an trolling- see 4chan, reddit, discord, GAB, and Russian troll farms and bots that you puff incessantly.  I don't mind.  We can all troll and bait, but it is against the rules here so I think you should keep it to the minimum. Nothing in my post was hysterical. 

     

    As for name calling I thought you guys appreciated calling a spade a spade (or an immigrant a terrorist, or a shooting victim a stooge, or muslims a danger to the west, or Mexicans rapists, or a woman who wants to make a choice about her own womb a murderer etc etc etc.)   I hadn't realised you were so thin-skinned.    

     

    (Oh sorry of course I had- we all knew it long ago.) 

    None of my posts even resemble trolling. But, simply my opinion. I'm not "you guys", and I'm entitled to have my say without being attacked.

    Rather than wasting you efforts baiting people here on Thai visa you should invest some of your rapidly diminishing time and brain cells in learning the proper meaning of the words/ phrases you need to communicate in the modern world without sounding like a knuckle-dragging know-nothing old fart.

    You can tell when a nerve was hit by the hysterical name calling that ensues. Funny how all comments by right minded folks are labeled as troll and now baiting.

    Trump has a way to do business if it is not profitable for him he shove the result to Canada send the illegals up there and young Justin do not know what to do with this problem , so it work good for the great US of A.

    Perhaps the illegals could be met at the border with food, water and comfortable transportation to Canadian border. Now, that would be great.

    Elizabeth Warren will be 71 by election day in 2020.  I would certainly vote for her over anything remotely Trumpish, but I'd like to see someone younger. 

     

    Corey Booker shows promise, but I hope to have a choice of several (or at least a few) decent alternatives during the primaries. 

     

    I'd also like to see Democrat voters act like adults and support the Democratic candidate even if he/she isn't their first choice.  People sitting out the general election or voting third party put Trump in the White House.

    Folks voting with their pocketbook and HRC put Trump in the White House.
