Yes it was an American quote. That would be from President Teddy Roosevelt

Yeah but calling them mafia gets people to read the news story quicker

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.

You haven't lived in the USA for decades, if ever, so why do you care and why are you posting this nonsense.

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.

More revisionist propaganda. Post facts to support your claims and let us see where you get your info from.

No and Iconsiam made a public statement yesterday that they are not in any way connected.

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.

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

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.

Thats a good way of ending up in the hospital not to mention at the police station where you will lose the discussion, guaranteed

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Late to the party on this

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"

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

First off you spew inaccurate information and claim its fact which is not a personal attack but a comment in what you are claim as real when its not. I'm a Republican or was until the Republicans sold their souls just to try to stay in office by aligning with a fraudulent con man named Trump just because he has a following of mindless sheep. You haven't been in the USA for quite some time, if ever, if you cant seem the bs you seem to have fallen for and the long history of his deceit. You apparently feel its ok for the toxic attacks from Trump toward anyone that doesn't fall for his stick but call foul when someone calls you out on it! Pretty hypocritical of you. Quoting Elon Musk as some sort of relevant and knowledge political person is beyond ridiculous. Hes a rich individual with his own agenda and it has nothing to do with anything other than his opinion. You can believe anything you want to as thats your right but don't expect others to give you any credibility on your position as you gave away that when you post misleading and inaccurate information and try to pass it off as fact. You have a nice day now

You need to check your facts as you have a very distorted view of the truth and the history of what trump f'd up during his term, both inside and outside the country. trump is a POS , always has been and always will be. He plays to every fear available and there are a lot of gullible people that buy it hook line and sinker. You continue to spew the trump toxic narrative using distorted facts and revisionist history. Dont bother replying to me as it's clear you have no credible input on this topic as far as Im concerned.

Thats laughable. The only reason they nominated Biden was because they needed to calm things down from the 3 ring circus called trump. They needed plain vanilla, with no surprise sprinkles. Thats what they did and the results are there to show that's what the country did for the most part. Now if trump would just go away the country would continue to march toward normalcy.

Only in your mind, and the delusion continues
