Very well put,and perfectly correct.Actually I disagree. History shows that the US were only initially interested in profiting from WW2 by providing loans to the UK for war materials that they desperately needed to fight the Nazis in Europe. Loans which are still being repaid by the way which , compunded by monies owed from WW1, bankrupted the UK. In fact the US used all manner of excuses not to join the war initially, as making money , or profiteering from others demise if necessary, was and still is one of their primary goals apparently.
The US joined the war only once Japan "encouraged" them to do so by the attack on Pearl Harbour, which in itself was only brought about by years of "economic sanctions" against them, and enough was enough in their eyes . Parallels with modern China perhaps ?
The British , whilst strongly opposed to Stalin's regime, choose to support the Soviets with aid because it was considered the lesser evil. Of course the Soviets were stabbed in the back by the Nazis once they renegaded on their previous agreement so hence provided valuable manpower in pushing back the Nazis. But the Soviets joined the war to poke a finger at Hitler, not to help the British. But make no mistake the human toll for the Soviets was massive losing it is claimed 20,000,000 !

You live,you die,you cant take your home with you,silly thing to sayI have bought 4 properties here every one was a great choice ?
Rentals are cheap for cheap properties! usually in not desirable locations ?
How can you call it "home" when you live in a rental?
Ps we own a house and land.

Well,it will scare the weaker ones amongst us but not the majority of British folk we are stronger than that,they have tried to frighten us before,look how that worked outIndeed. I am not the biggest fan of the EU, but if 'project fear' are trying to scare me then it's working...

That looks just like the piece i got there today, B)Just thanking everyone that said Siambury, I made the trip this afternoon and well worth it! I saw a couple of other farangs turn up going for the cheese too. The shop is small and not the kind you would drop into normally. Made a pizza tonight and cheese is right on the mark.

So if Serena had been white that picture would have been racist against white people? Or can it only be racist if they are not white,

Always the big bad west , never the fault of the poor Africans. If their country was such a treasure trove wht didnt they exploit it and have their own industrial revolution and work hard to achieve what we in the west achieved without those recources?The problem was created long before Merckel even took office!
Africas countries have been ripped off, robbed of their resources, been made place for powergames etc. for decades!
Everybody who came and went left the place in more chaos then before.
Military leaders drew borders with a pencil and a ruler, not giving a #$@% for the needs, ethnicities etc of the people living in African countries.
We (as in the Western and industrialized nations, Europe, USA...) used Africa as our economical and political playground!
We want all the money and the benefits and the jobs, that our (still) imperialistic policies bring, but we want nothing of the dirt!
If there is another starvation crisis, we send a few bucks and wash our hands in the water of innocence!
We shake our heads for a little while, when we see pictures out of Dafour (still a grade A humanitarian crisis) on the News and wonder "why the Africans won't get it together" and do not even grasp, that we are (at least partly...big partly...) responsible for a lot of the suffering that is going on!
"We" are not only responsible for the wars in Syria or Yemen- we are also responsible for people, who are not able to make a simple living!
Economic migrants don't fall out of the sky!
They don't plan their immigration like you and I plan our holiday!
Refugees just don't pop up like mushrooms or appear out of thin air!
"We" created them and the problem, some of us now don't want to have nothing to do with!
This is not a German problem...even less a Merckel- problem!

Oh well if the Guardian says it ,it must be true,by the way how are they doing with the begging bowl,must be hard having so few readersThe article is dated 2015. At the time Merkel was endeavouring to assist an EU fellow member, Greece, who were totally overwhelmed and could no longer apply the 1990 Dublin Protocol. Merkel only offered waive through for Syrian asylum seekers, but EU external border countries also permitted travel North for North Africans, Afghans etc. It is a fact that Syrian asylum seekers / refugees have committed a far lower rate of crime in Germany than other asylum seekers and German nationals.
As mentioned before the huge numbers of people seeking refuge in the EU were on the road prior to Merkel's offer. Additionally the UN had warned funding for hosting asylum seekers in countries such as Turkey and Lebanon was completely insufficient and a considerable push factor; the warnings were largely ignored.

Inever used to care about Muslims one way or another,but apart from everything else going on with them in the world,over the years in my old home town ,i saw them turn from a minority living their lives quitly to a real problem causing trouble and complaining about anything and everything ,forcing out all other races,i cant go into it all,but they are now a major cause of problems.Well aware, no denial on my part. You are one of many others on this forum who are perfect examples of aggressive antipathy towards Muslims; if you read the link I provided, perhaps better described as self-fulfilling prophecy for the increase in Islamic political parties in the West

More of a problem with the muslims doing hate attacks on theJews who have never caused us any problems in the west,unlike the Muslims that are a major problem,little wonder there is a rising dislike for them in the west,no matter how much you lot try to deny it.
Funny there is no "phobia" about any other immegrants who have settled in the past,wonder why?

Why should Sweden or Britain or any Western country have an Islamic Party? When Poles ,Romanians,Thais, Chinesr etc etc go to live in the west do they have their "own party" NO so why should muslims? They always want their own way.

NoWhen Terminal 21 does open what will happen to this forum? I am a bit amazed that in such an extraordinary country as Thailand and in such an intersting city as Pattaya the opening of a mall generates so much interest and discussion. Am I the only one who finds this really wierd?

No it means living with my wife and our son and doing the things that a family do , not worrying about what some food court serves and spending half my life thereWhat is it then? Does that "life" involve sitting at the bar at 9am? How about enlightening us.

It changed,years ago when central openedNothing wrong with malls, Pattaya is changing from the typical sexpat city to attract other types of people, deal with it.
