  1. While Im not for this Im not sure this is any different than PAC's lobbying for either party. They are not voters so in theory are about equivalent to this action. Both should stay out of the political arena
  2. Nope, volunteering requires a permit regardless of whether you are paid or not. Thats why they call it volunteering
  3. Based on what you just wrote how would you know if the US was better in 2016 -2020? what are you basing that ridiculous claim on, social media or a WAG ?
  4. Thats a pretty moronic statement. Divers are under the water and boats on the surface. There should have been diving flags on display and boaters should not be in the same area. Doesn't sound like the safety equip mentioned was in full use.
  5. Yes it was an American quote. That would be from President Teddy Roosevelt
  6. Yeah but calling them mafia gets people to read the news story quicker
  7. Not according to your posts. If you did it hasnt been in this century. You have no clear understanding of the political situation or trumps long history of scams, deceit and lies.
  8. You haven't lived in the USA for decades, if ever, so why do you care and why are you posting this nonsense.
  9. It was good to see the police arrested the celebrities also as they gave the appearance of legitimacy to the con which is often the case. They cant cry no knowledge or no involvement as they were part of the group facilitating the scam. I hope the courts really act on this and force the disclosure of the digital coin investments as part of the bail and sentencing agreements. I know that's probably not gonna happen and like most high-profile cases it will slowly evaporate as time goes on and no follow up from the news agencies. As for those conned, they have their own share of the scam guilt as they were also preying on others or trying to in order to gain wealth at someone else's expense.
  10. More revisionist propaganda. Post facts to support your claims and let us see where you get your info from.
  11. No and Iconsiam made a public statement yesterday that they are not in any way connected.
  12. Did they go after Boss Paul's watch collection? As for the bitcoin assets and other finacials, maybe they should have siezed everything before they published that they were going after assets.
  13. Yes police negotiate as they don't want to have to do all the paperwork and then appear in court. It undermines the punishment needed to deter violations. Your court example is seldom if every successful even if you were to win. I don't believe pedestrians have the right if way everywhere, only at marked and designated crosswalks. Having the right of way does little to help if your tragically injured or killed. Collecting on penalties\fines is a whole other can of worms
  14. I don't know that I believe your story but you go with that. If that is what you do its pretty foolish and you will lose at your game at some point.
  15. Thats a good way of ending up in the hospital not to mention at the police station where you will lose the discussion, guaranteed
  16. You do know this is Thailand right ? The police will push for a negotiation and no charges. Even with that getting paid is another issue
  17. If you're already in the crosswalk or its marked like at airports its the drivers responsibility to stop. However in Thailand all bets are off and no real punishment will fix the lack of mental awareness of the dangers Thai drivers cause without any concept of risk. Not real sure why you keep quoting UK, this is Thailand and its not comparable
  18. That would be the logical response but given that it's gone on for decades I don't see how you change the lack of critical or spatial thinking in Thai people. They have no ability or desire to forecast what might occur in the future from their actions, only what the want to do at that split second and act on it. Its truly frightening in many instances.
  19. Not sure that asking a question about nationality is such a big deal is it. If you and your gf are not us citizens its a non-issue as the fatca form doesn't come in to play.
  20. You need to determine where your property boundary is. Usually walls are built or should be built within your property leaving some distance from the exterior if your wall and your boundary line. If that's thats case you can ask the neighbor to remove the soil off your property\wall. If the wall is on the boundary your stuck as the neighbors land ends at your wall. You may need to be very diplomatic about it and involved the village headman with your concerns. Don't expect much cooperation though as thais never think ahead or act proactively to avoid problems.
  21. Only 2 groups of people that seem to worry. First group are the people playing the system with excessive border runs and trying to live in country without a proper visa. They don't mind playing the system until they get caught and want to cry foul. Second group are the newbies that read the complaints of the first group on line and then aren't sure about their trip. There's no need to define tourism as it isn't rocket science. The time allowed is clearly stated in the visa you travel on or in the regs for visa exempt entry or visa on arrival.
  22. It's called doing their job just like in every other country in the world. They are there to use their discretion and assess the person in front if them for risk. I have to laugh at people that make the claims you made or the ever popular "rogue" officer or "irrational female officer". The problem generally lies with the traveller's and their history, not the imm officer.
  23. Late to the party on this
  24. Equally pathetic is that Parliament gave him a hall pass after the fact excusing him and allowing his absence and making an excuse for him to be able to leave the country for "medical treatment"
  25. No I never said you were responsible for trump but I said you honor him doing it but if someone calls you out on your misinformation you cry foul and claim personal attacks. your again deflecting from your action and trying to gaslight. Typical sheep manuever. Go to bed now as we're done
