  1. The police get kickbacks from bars. They don't from online sites. Upholding the moral and legal standards of Thailand - today's entry in the BS Olympics.
  2. PEG 3350 ( Macrogol ) and PEG 4000 ( Forlax ) are effective. Similar to what is used for a cleanout prior to a colonoscopy. Non-habit forming, non-irritant. Forlax is 520 baht for 20 sachets.
  3. "Paedophile dolphins trained by the EU". Another priceless phrase.
  4. I prefer the cool of early mornings, teeing off at 6.30 am. A swim before lunchtime. Nights are the time when the drunks and yaabaa addicts come out to play on the roads, I stay home.
  5. There is a clip somewhere on YouTube of a interviewer trying to explain to a MAGA how a tariff is a tax on goods which is paid for by the buyer of said goods, and the MAGA insisting the tariff is paid by the country exporting the goods to America. As they say, you can't fix stupid.
  6. The last time I was in debt was 1974. On the basis of a single statistical sample, you are claiming Australia is becoming a nation of dole bludgers. Fact: Less than 10% of the population of working age are on income support, 90% are working. Some people still swallow Coalition BS, however. War on the poor. I don't mind the rich getting rich legitimately. I also don't mind them passing their wealth down to new generations. It's when they play the tax system with negative gearing, superannuation, and family trusts that I say whoa. I know a multi-millionaire who has boasted of how his tax accountant obtained a Commonwealth Seniors Health Card for him. THAT is bludging off the system. Shorten got rolled by Morrison when he proposed sweeping reforms in that area. Morrison brought in tax cuts for people who needed them like a motorbike needs an ashtray.
  7. Dirty/clogged fuel injectors are the most likely cause. Yes, diesel particulates can increase the risk of lung cancer. The difference between Thailand and Malaysia is obvious, I have never seen a bus, truck or car blowing smoke there. For all I know, there are death squads operating that drag errant drivers out of their vehicles, and execute them on the spot.
  8. Not likely he will stub his toe, he's had foot in mouth for years.
  9. Diddly squat. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Nothing. A black hole. Ever noticed the MAGA people have absolutely no sense of humor?
  10. I really don't think Trump has that long. The Smoot- Hawley tariffs of June 1930 were almost immediate in their impact on trade. Purchasing and trade decisions were affected within another month, and it only took 3 months for retaliatory tariffs to start biting back. Trump has locked himself into a fight with China he can't win. Xi holds all the aces, and knows it. That's why the CCP won't cave.
  11. Apparently the Chinese agree with you. Their economy is a 50:50 mix of private enterprise and socialism/communism.
  12. It's the first time in American history the bond market tanked along with the stock market. That forced a rise in interest rates on Treasury bonds, which adds to the interest on American debt. You are in a time where change will become a constant, and not for the better. You just don't realise it yet.
  13. Three people in the USA are sitting on more cash than 150 million Americans at the bottom of the totem pole. If you can't see anything wrong with that, your values are skewed. In Australia, negative gearing and capital gains discount have distorted the housing market beyond recognition. It took me 18 months to pay off my mortgage, now it takes a lifetime. Of course, there are people who think that's OK. Greedy b@stards. Welcome to the club. Australia was the country of the fair go. No longer.
  14. Better than entrenched intergenerational wealth inequality, which was what Dutton represented. Please use a spellchecker, you are hurting my eyes.
  15. It would be nice if you posted something which was not complete BS. Dutton embraced Trump and his policies. It was one of the factors in him being the first opposition leader in Australia's history to lose his seat. Mild warmth turned to revulsion.
  16. I guess it is too late for the Saxons to deport the Normans.
  17. Show him an image of a virus under a scanning electron microscope, he will still deny its existence. He's at the same IQ level as flat earthers.
  18. He cheats at golf. In Australia, the result would be instant ostracism. It's probably why he owns so many golf properties. I doubt he has ever been invited to play at Pine Valley.
  19. In case you have not noticed, the Big Dog is now one sick puppy.
  20. The CSIRO report was a classic case of Dutton shooting the messenger. Until we have functioning thorium reactors, no-one can call nuclear power safe. If you think that's irrational, visit Fukushima and Chernobyl. Raising the tax-free threshold does nothing for JobSeeker recipients, whose annual income is $20,311. Tell me where the great benefit is. You have obviously never had to deal with the Centrelink bureaucracy.
  21. Dear Harrisfan/Susan/bignok/Bob The committee regrets to inform you your application for membership has been unsuccessful, as you fall short of the required criteria. We suggest you spend at least six months as a White House adviser, to attain more qualifications. Yours Sincerely, Union of Boetian village idiots
  22. "Hillary farted in the direction of freedom.". Priceless.
  23. Better than anything you have ever posted.
  24. It's America that is the fake ally. It has run away from every war it has started since Korea. The cultural disintegration of America into a polarized collection of squabbling states is obvious to anyone not wearing blinkers. America is in economic decline. BRICS PPP is now bigger than the G7. We have had leftist governments on and off in Australia since Federation. They are the reason I paid $100 for a medication which would have cost me $70,000 in America.
