I haven't seen anything that supports Musk's claims that SSA was the biggest fraud in history. Apparently a lot of people just believe he has done cuz he says so.

Pathetic old hens bickering in this topic, apparently cannot help themselves.

I disagree, Samoa has a Girl Scout cookie named after it, Oxford has a type of shoe. But seriously, you think that attending Oxford is relevant to this conversation? You think the OP is weighing should he go to Oxford or should he go to Our Lady of Perpetual Light in the PI?

It might work for you. So yes, the degree from the Philippines is worth looking into. Some companies will definitely hire you with a degree from the Philippines. Seems like with a TEFL and that degree you can get hired. A guy I know is teaching for an agency with a TEFL and no degree but he is a native English speaker. Apparently, the school gets a call on the down low if any kind of onsite audit of teacher qualifications is being done and teachers like him don't work that day. If you look at the jobs page on that well-known teacher's site (you should know if you have researched this at all), the agency has a name that will remind you of trigonometry class and is always advertising. (Just checked they have multiple ads up today.) Agencies and also Language Schools have different rules that they use and may be different as far as Thai law applies to them. Also, tutoring schools have different requirements; these are the schools where kids go after their regular school day or on weekends. So there are opportunities. Also, you might be looking at the low end of the pay scale, and you might need to be willing to work in the provinces.

I walked down Sukhumvit Soi 4 (Soi Nana) from Benjakiti Park to Sukhumvit Road yesterday, basically the whole length of Soi 4. I was meeting a friend who said she thought the water throwing would stop around 9:00PM, it didn't. I won't be going there on Songkran again. It wasn't too bad from Thai people who were mostly having fun and getting me with water but seemed good humored. Several falang creeps took it too far with shooting me in the face with powerful water pistols at close range. I noticed numerous falangs who seemed to take it too far and really seemed to be basically mean and bullying with hitting people with water. Not being done in a sense of fun, but more just a weird pleasure in causing discomfort to others. I have always avoided areas on Songkran where water throwing was expected in the past. Now I will also do so in the future.

I have my SS deposited in the US. I use Charles Schwab Bank and access my money by ATM. Schwab refunds all ATM fees once a month. Thailand has no record of these payments as far as I know. I have an SCB account and I can deposit cash when I need to do so. Maybe this won't work for everyone but it works for me.

"they had been drinking beer together" Huh, I wonder if that could have been a factor? Lots of domestics and friend-on-friend attacks seem to have this as part of the story.

" head teacher at an international school " Meaningless as far as knowledge of child raising. Probably good at fund raising.

You might want to see your family doctor, I suspect you are suffering from an irony deficiency. This is not as rare as one might think.

Interesting data. This seems to be concerned mostly with the private sector. What about jobs in government agencies?

"Some religions permit you to be evil all your life, but one quick confession on your death bed and all is forgiven and you can go to heaven." How dare you slander "the one true" church like this. I believe it needs to be a lengthy confession. Additionally, high probability of a penance of saying 10 "Our Fathers" and 10 "Hail Marys". And, as precondition to all of this, having a truly contrite heart. So not really so trivial.

Trying to learn about British "culture". Is this guy what you call a "chav"? or is that a word used in your colonies?

Well if you were really serious about evaluating information you would see that that is Tim Cook speaking. Which outlet is not the question, the question is do you consider Tim Cook to know anything about manufacturing? I do. The company he heads designs, manufactures and sells one of the most successful products in the world.

Best of luck to you. However, I think the cornerstone of all recovery programs is accepting personal responsibility. If a person blames Thailand he has a ways to go in that respect. Alcohol isn't hard to get in most countries (not sure about Muslim countries), Thailand is not that different. People and their ways can drive a person crazy anywhere (again maybe a little introspection is called for here). So...

Not too make this endless, but the subject is violence in Thailand by farangs so...

I think he made that pretty clear though not apparently to you. Can you not see he is describing prisons in Western countries? "I've seen guys like this scream and cry when prison was just mentioned. when the got there they really <deleted> it. and that's in a prison with canteens, snackbars, TVs, pool tables."

Saw an interview with Tim Cook (the guy Trump calls Tim Apple) where he said that labor cost in not the main attraction of China. He said that the Chinese labor force has greater skills in manufacturing and surrounding tooling than any other nation. So US couldn't compete in technical manufacturing. Here he is:

Ahhhhh I see. Thank you Sensei. Can I try and snatch the pebble from your hand now?

Ha ha. True. I don't count anymore cuz nobody cares.

" surrounded by mosques and the Muslim culture, instead of scantily clad girls " Stop tempting me.

No.

DM 2 has a genetic component. Not everyone who has risk factors will necessarily get diabetes because some are just lucky with respect to genetics.

Have not seen any proof of Social Security fraud. I know Musk said it was the biggest fraud in history but even Musk saying something 3 times doesn't make it so. USAID seems to have spent money foolishly but again, I haven't seen any evidence of fraud. NGO stands for Non-governmental Organization so I guess that isn't under the category of fraud in government.

Well in all my born days I have alway taken a shine to having food delivered. I like it. You speak as one having authority yet I will continue to do what pleases me.

My notification was just approved after 5 days in pending status. Checked earlier in the day and it was still pending. Not sure but it seems if I apply online at the beginning of the application interval I get approved. If I wait until I get the notice from immigration I don't get approved online. I am relieved cuz I figured if it didn't get approved before Songkran started I would not get approved online.
