I think when it's political, like this - bearing in mind he's the ex president and he's running again - it would be sensible for a 50/50 split.
I mean the timing of all this is just perfect for the democrats right?
So you would prefer that the makeup of the jury NOT reflect the makeup of society. Interesting. ????

Should be 50/50 really.
No.
It should reflect the opinion of the society, which may not be 50/50.

So you think they ring around before any case has even been heard. That is absurd.
100% logistics will be considered as soon as possible. Already, or now? Maybe not, but hardly absurd.

I would imagine a similar approach is possible on publicly traded shares in Thailand on the SET
It is often an issue that expats "imagine" that things will be "similar" here. Always gives me a good larf. ????

1 hour ago, h90 said:google iTV Thailand annual report...there is 2020, 2021, 2022 the company is active.
I believe the reports are a requirement until all assets are dissolved, or until the original license runs out in 2025.
If you had bothered to actually download the latest report you cite, you will see the first paragraph:
"The Company used to operate a UHF radio and television broadcasting station under a joint
operating contract and a Built Build-Transfer-Operation operating agreement signed with the
Office of the Permanent Secretary to the Prime Minister's Office (the “PMO”) on 3 July 1995,
for a period of thirty years ending 3 July 2025. The station was named “ITV broadcasting
station”.
Current Status
: As at midnight (12.00 p.m.) of 7 March 2007, the Company was compelled to cease its
business operation of the ITV broadcasting station due to the cancellation of the
operating agreement by the PMO. On 24 July 2014, the Board of Governors of the
Stock Exchange of Thailand resolved to delist the Company’s common stock until
further notice."- 6

You pose an interesting question. Where is your internet access server located? That might have something to do with the response you get. My search response is not just 5 years old either. Some of it looks like it goes back to the riots of the 60's, judging from the black and white pictures.
Mine, according to the vpn I use, is in the United States. If yours is in a different country, tell me which country and I will switch my vpn region to that country and see what response I get.
That looks like a screen shot of a mobile phone. If it is, that causes me wonder if that makes a difference too. Would the OS platform make a difference in your search results? My guess, if you are using a mobile, is that it is an iphone. I am using a computer with Win10.That was from an android, using Chrome. NT/TOT wifi. Geographic location of the search probably would bias the results toward that area. Less so the platform conducting the search.

We'll probably see more and more of these sad stories.
Foreigners, living alone, keeping to themselves and just passing away.
???????? I heard the same story(ies) when we got here 17 yrs ago from the "old timers" kicking about then. This story is as old as expats.

You can never please all the parents, so best to avoid anything even slightly controversial.
Florida lady forgot this golden rule for teaching.
So... Lowest common denominator type of thing? Isn't that kinda why U. S. education ranks so poorly to begin with? Well, and the funding thing.

In a vote where the only candidates were "Yes" or "No", that is unlikely.
What world do you live in where an abstention or non-vote unquestionably equals a yes? Those sick or absent have an opinion which isn't necessarily yes. Abstentions can be for a myriad of reasons. Your assumption if faulty at best.

with simple diet and exercise most overweight people could lose any excess weight and live much healthier and even longer.
Is longer more appealing than better? Personally I will enjoy what I enjoy and have no desire whatsoever to live "longer".

I missed that! What American cities are no longer then? Was it like Dresden or Tokyo in WW2? How many citizens were burned to death in these BLM-scorched cities? I'm really surprised none of this destruction has made international headlines ????????

8 hours ago, SunnyinBangrak said:without specifying how many % of Americans are Muslim (it is approx 1%) see note 1, your linked statement comparing islamist extremism and right wing extremism is misleading.
if 1% of Americans are causing 20% of extremist related killings then clearly this group have a much higher propensity to commit extremist violence.
Cannot remember reading about even one significant Muslim extremist event in the USA in the last decade or so... Certainly not a current issue in the USA. Whereas white supremacists seem to be popping off all over the country.

Haahahaha!!! Weed smokers have not had the "law" on their side until VERY recently. Laws only work if there is significant social agreement, otherwise peeps just ignore them if they believe there is no moral justification or significant societal harm. Weed is what it is and people will continue its use whether legal or not.

Yes. But only one party hypocritically uses debt as a cudgel when not in power whilst ramping up debt when in power. See the difference there?

I don't know if it is worthwhile going down this road but...
A "jury of your peers" is considered by legal philosophers as an average cross-section of society. Every society has individual biases. By trying to filter out "political bias" you are no longer reflecting the opinion of a representative cross-section of society. YOU have actually introduced the bias.
