Oh man, go live your life. Crybaby.

I’m glad to see people rising up. I sincerely hope it spreads to other European countries. I fear it may already be too late, but perhaps it will still help to some extent. What Brussels is doing can be summed up in one word: DISGRACE.

Some treatments are still cheaper in Thailand than in a Western European country. However, they are working hard to undermine even that added value. The only real advantage left is that there are hardly any waiting times.

Anti-selling can be a brilliant sales strategy. It creates desire. Unfortunately, I don't think it's really going to work in this case (North Korea).

Like so many things, this too is being ruined by the overzealous user/grower. Where years ago you could smoke a joint, get a healthy fit of laughter, feel completely relaxed, and then enjoy a good meal and sleep, the stuff nowadays has been bred to such extremes that it completely knocks you out of this world. I can imagine this leads to many problems, putting the legitimacy of the substance under pressure, turning public opinion against it, and forcing governments to step in by enforcing stricter regulations or even a total ban.

One more reason for me not to take it.

Yes i do know and i hope she had a great time with them.

Setting aside your personal feelings and opinions about America, it is unthinkable to completely ignore the United States. Over the past 80 years, it has firmly established its strategic economic position. That’s not something you can simply bypass. Moreover, I believe it would not be beneficial for the global trade balance if America were to completely collapse. I also believe that we should be grateful to America for certain things from the past, whether they were done out of self-interest or not.

Just ask the Catholics, they know all about that.

Whether Trump’s trade war will end up being good or bad for the U.S. is still up in the air. But honestly, I think the bigger issue right now lies with Thailand’s attitude. It’s slowly but surely time for Thailand to realize that it’s not quite the global player it might like to think it is. It’s not an economic powerhouse, it doesn’t have an especially well-educated workforce, and you can’t just ignore a market of over 300 million Americans without facing the consequences. You’re not going to make up for that kind of loss somewhere else. That said, Thailand is a beautiful country, and most people there are genuinely kind and deserve far better than what they’re getting right now.

Basketball of course. Duh

Since I'm above-average attractive, I notice that most foreigners don't dare to talk to me. Very calming.

Whether it’s luck or wisdom, I believe starting this trade war is the right decision. For years, we’ve all been chasing profits—companies, investors, even governments. And in doing so, we’ve helped China grow into an economic giant. Now, China holds a powerful position in the world, one that seems to be turning into something too dominant. Let me be clear, I don’t think China shouldn’t have wealth or success. But I do think there should be a healthy balance in global power. Right now, that balance is shifting too far, and that’s something we can’t ignore. I can understand why Trump wants to make America stronger again. (No, I’m not a Trump supporter.) But I do get his point. He wants to protect American interests—just like Xi wants to protect China’s, and Putin wants to protect Russia’s. It’s a tough game, and every country is trying to win. Will this trade war bring quick benefits for the American people? Probably not. In fact, people will likely feel some pain first—maybe higher prices, maybe job uncertainty. But sometimes, you have to go through short-term difficulties to fix long-term problems. We let things go too far. Now it’s time to push back and find a better balance. That might not make everyone happy right away, but it’s a necessary step toward a fairer and more stable global economy.

Isn't that something that pretty much every mainstream media outlet has done in recent years? And as for this specific topic, that's what you get when you let tumors grow.
