A lot here look at videos and think they know all about the US. They also think this is some kind of paradise when it's one of the most corrupt areas on earth. There are bad police everywhere as some get the job just to be in a position of control, but they do have to be held accountable and a whole force isn't going to be corrupt and silent. I've seen some pretty shi**y policemen in New Jersey and Texas, but many more that were good cops.

Hospital Assault Horror: Nurse Attacked, Raises Safety Concerns
fredwiggy replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Almost 300,000 in prisons here, so at least some are being jailed. If it was some who committed offenses who get away with a Wai, compensation or bribes, the number would probably be a million. Assault like this means jail or an institution, seeing he might have a mental illness attacking an innocent nurse. -
They eat the fish raw all the time in salads. Crabs also, the whole crab, unlike what we eat in the west, just the leg and under shell meat. I can't understand the penchant for eating it, as it's pretty nasty. The whole fish is used, including the innards. I remember when I first came here. A friend of my now ex wife and us were eating cooked Tilapia with veggies. She took a spoon and ate the innards. Some things here are eaten from traditions, and they make many sick, along with killing many each year or giving them cancer.Here's another link to a local doctor..............https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jun/28/thai-doctor-fights-against-carcinogenic-raw-fish-dish-that-killed-his-parents

A lot put faith in doctors and they do help some people but many times they do more damage. -
Behind the facade of the Rightwing Moral Crusade
fredwiggy replied to Chomper Higgot's topic in Political Soapbox
When you're stuck on one side, no matter what that side has done, your hero worship, much like that with the Kardashians or P. Diddy, is hard to break. They can do no wrong, and what wrong they do is deflected away, and then they'll remind you of what the other side did. Both sides have problems. This is a man who's side means nothing. What he's done does. -
Love how some brag thinking that much is a meager amount. We're not all drug dealers, crooked officials, doctors, surgeons, politicians, and land developers. A month salary average in the US isn't nothing to throw away.

I came from New Jersey, always ranked in the top 5, and everyone I've ever known came from public schools. Private schools do have smaller classes and more one on one, which can help some students. I wouldn't want my children to go to a public school in a bad area of a big city but we always lived in rural areas, and I will again.

But their schools are still good in general. If you pass, you did what was asked of you. If you want good grades, that's up entirely to you. Good grades can get you a scholarship, which my granddaughter just received. 40 miles north of San Antonio, in a small school, she received her fully paid scholarship because my daughter and her father kept on her to use her brain. Now she's going to Southwest College to learn flight school. The schools around where I lived where my 4 children went, were high ranked. They all passed and have careers they like doing. It's still in the students hands, along with the teachers desire to teach. Texas is actually ranked 25th, but that is still good in a country with many good schools. They're still light years ahead of Thai schools, even the private ones. You don't go to an international school here, then college, you're at 7-11 or Lotus for life, or worse, at some shop selling Somtam or coffee. But you could always go back to farming.

There is a big Wat near Bueng Kan that requires a long uphill steps climb. Wat Phu Tok. I went there when I first visited Thailand. .......https://www.migrationology.com/wat-phu-tok-bueng-kan/

I wouldn't need a private school in any event, as Texas has many very good schools that are public. All my children went to them, and they were all high ranked. I'll be in the Hill Country, where there are also good schools, three of which my grandchildren went to. Education only suffers when teachers aren't doing their jobs, along with administrators.
-
Of course they should. Not many people want anyone in the US illegally without contributing. Besides other criminals of course, and those that profit from them, meaning rich Americans who hire illegals.

Try reading for a change. Going by opinions, which is your obvious course, doesn't teach what's actually happening and has been for decades. I'm thinking you say rubbish without reading links so maybe you should take a few minutes and educate yourself. It says liver cancer from Koi Pla. There are many more links. research more, then comment.

All of America has good schools, especially in the San Antonio area.

To you maybe. To everyone else, facts.

I'm there almost every year, My family lives there, and I have many friends there. Lived there 2018, will be moving back asap.The wall is mostly useless, as they're still coming in over, under and around it. Biden again wanted to help families and those seeking asylum, which should be done. Latinos have been there all long, before we were. As long as anyone's working and not breaking the laws, they belong there as much as you or I do. We're all from immigrants. There are plenty of whites that don't do their children justice by not caring much about them. Look at how it is here with students. In the US you won't pass school unless you pass the grades. You don't pass school, good luck finding a job besides picking fruit.

Let's start over for you. Born in New Jersey 1956, stayed 30 years, moved to Texas 1985, stayed 32 years,moved to Thailand 2018.

Canada isn't a poor country with criminal activity like Mexico and Central America is. They have reasons to come in, meaning the ones wanting work and to be with family.
-
They've always been walking freely in. When they're caught, they're lead out in buses back south. I've never said anything about them being able to stay, but just that they come daily. No one should be allowed to stay unless they have legally working close family members or asylum seekers from fear, until it's proven justified. Or that they obtain legal working papers.

Nothing but I think you might be using some mind altering substance, because your replies aren't meaningful but derogatory and ill informed.
-
Some came legally, making tourist and work visas. Some married US citizens and were granted permission to stay. Some crossed borders in many different ways, using coyotes with a promise of a job.
-
If you read and comprehend, I said 32 years in Texas, .I was born in New Jersey and stayed there 30 years. Best to stay out of a discussion unless you have knowledge on it. Do you think anyone listens to anyone in America unless you're very rich?

Taking a week's vacation and staying at a resort doesn't qualify.

What am I supposed to do, hold them at gunpoint after chasing them through the south Texas brush country? Do you live in the USA? What have you done to stop anyone from coming in illegally?
