    You. You are talking about two. A "couple" is two.

    "A couple" may as well mean "some".

    I'm sure your wife, if you have one, would not like to be a part of your definition of a couple.

     

    a couple is 2. No more, no less.

  2. applied for voluntary enlistment....

    Maj. Gen. Sirichan reported that as of Sunday night, 25,100 young men had applied for voluntary enlistment, revealing some interesting trends in the education levels of the conscripts during the conscription period from April 1-12:

    Very confused. This mentions voluntary enlistment in the same breath as conscription.....surely they are not the same?

  3. To be frank, it doesn't matter to some people what system is used. Handwriting an X in a box on a piece of paper and relying on some person counting those votes, or machines that feed into a computer. What election deniers fail to appreciate is what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

     

    Once someone in one party starts calling an election as stolen because someone from another party is verified as having won, it leaves the door open for the opposite to happen, later down the road.

  4. Possession of a machine gun is generally legal in more than two-thirds of states, according to an analysis published by the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, as long as the gun was lawfully possessed prior to May 19, 1986, the day President Ronald Reagan signed a major gun law. Thirty-five states have “minimal or no regulation” of machine guns, according to the Giffords analysis.

     

    Sorry guy, you're wrong....

    Why on earth should I - or anyone - pay more tax as I have saved, worked hard and invested well or bought property, to support someone who either does not want to work, or wastes their money ?

     

     

    What they should be doing in America is adding $2 on every pizza or burger to pay for the health care ! As I dare say most of the health budget is going on fat low earners !

    Ah socialism. The rich pay for the poor....Nooooooooo. Equal opportunities for all....Noooooooo. Let them suffer and die. I'm ok....until I lose my job and insurance. Then the shoe is elsewhere....

  6. Tax paying...? All Thai nationals pay tax?p

     

    as for voting rights, it is different everywhere. But, it does remind me of the three fifths compromise and re-districting going on in the US now.I

     

    An MP represents Thai natonals, in a place that would have a small Thai population in relation to a foreign population.

     

    For example, areas in Bangkok that have a relatively large foreign population to Thai population ratio. Money allocated without taking this into account effectively mpoverishes the area. By area, the MP would have a larger constituency compared to an area that has few foreigners. I understand the differences between representation and census, but the 2 are interdependent.

  7. Khmer. That's the word that's contentious. Cambodia, Thailand are both countries. Khmer is an ethnic group. Several people who I know are Thai nationals with Khmer roots. To be a Khmer dessert, would it not mean it was created by Khmer people, irrespective of where they were, or is a dessert identified by the country in which it was created? 

     

    Either way, there are far more important things to worry about than desserts and boxing.

    Hopefully he will stop the dubious practice of the so-called "Visa Conversion" (changing the type of visa without exiting Thailand). All kinds of NON-O visas including NON-O Retirement and ED visa should not be available. If you want a Retirement Visa, you should apply for NON-OA in your country of citizenship. The same goes for ED visa.

    Is it lawful? If so, what's the problem?
