  1. The Trump collective are so used to repeating falsehoods and idiocies that they never stop and think about the nonsense they write. They get so upset when they are held accountable for their factually incorrect statements.
  2. Like father, like son. Marriage is merely an arrangement of convenience to some people.
  3. As you have not served on board the vessels that are referenced you are providing your assumptions and your bias. The males who harass female personnel are also the same jerks who bully and harass male personnel. The faulty assumption is that a bully and sex pest only targets females. The presence of female personnel has been overwhelmingly positive. Nor does the 10 year experience of the USN support your claims. Here is a positive article. https://www.navy.mil/Press-Office/News-Stories/Article/2671640/women-in-submarines-10-years-later/ Perhaps your experience as a nurse in Saudi Arabia where you may have had catfights with the women has jaundiced your perception, but USN male personnel have no problem serving with women. It is 2024, not 1984.
  4. You are relying on comments from former Twitter/X rather than actual data. The data does not support your claim. Nor do you demonstrate any semblance of understanding of the severe skilled personnel shortage crisis facing western militaries. Women are needed in all branches and in all activities because there are insufficient numbers of men available. You ask Do you remember some years ago the push to promote more women as fighter pilots resulted in several crash landings on carriers? Truly, a nonsensical ignorant statement. Was it intentional or are you really like this? Do you have any data to support your claim? No? Why am I not surprised. Women in Combat Arms: A Study of the Global War on Terror is a research paper authored by Major Seneca Peña-Collazo at the U.S. Army School of Advanced Military Studies, United States Army Command and General Staff College, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. It was supervised and approved by: Daniel G. Cox, Ph.D. Supervising Professor, Col. James D. Sisemore, Instructor, Col. Thomas C. Graves, Director, School of Advanced Military Studies and Robert F. Baumann, Ph.D Director, Graduate Degree Programs all of this educational facility. At the time of the review 10% of pilots were women. They were responsible for only 3% of "accidents". The author of the review was an AH-64(Apache helicopter) pilot. The Apaches are close to battle aircraft and are more likely to be tasked with difficult flying missions. In the 11 year period that included actions in Iraq and Afghanistan, 100% of all accidents, both in garrison and in theater, involved all-male crews. None of the female crews were involved in accidents. The above should not come as a surprise to anyone who knows history. Women pilots were a critical part of the US military effort in WWII. If it had not been for them, the US would not have been able to put the resources in the air that it did. 1000+ women air volunteers " flew over 60 million miles; transported every type of military aircraft; towed targets for live anti-aircraft gun practice; simulated strafing missions and transported cargo." And yet here you come along to insult and denigrate the women who volunteer for active service.
  5. What are you putting your nose into her private life for? Who are you to pass judgement? You have no idea of her relationship count and are pulling numbers out of your posterior. Taylor has never presented herself as a guiding light of morality, although she does set an excellent example with her manners, discipline, close family support and kindness. Why are the Trump collective swarming this poor girl with their hateful bullying? You have Mama june and Honey Booboo. Leave Taylor alone.
  6. Oh no, it's a CONSPIRACY!!!!!!!!! My goodness, what would you people do without these myriad conspiracies. I used to watch a TV show in reruns called Dynasty. Alexis Carrington was always plotting against Crystal Carrington. One day they even got into a fight and fell into the swimming pool!!!. You know what a conspiracy worth investigating is? Trump's comb over. Inquiring minds want to know how Donald does it.
  7. I won't dismiss your view in that regard. Some Trump supporters believe that they have been visited by aliens who probed their anus. Trump still pushes his claim that President Obama was not born in Hawaii and his supporters believe him. Was there anything factually incorrect in the listing? You are very quick to dismiss, but never able to offer actual evidence to show there is a factual error. In respect to your comment above, please explain how it cost a number of people their health? How did that occur?
  8. You have not provided any evidence of Blackrock purchasing large amounts of land in Ukraine. All that you did was put up a link to a Russian government representative making the claim. The other link is to an opinion piece by Bradley Devin. None of what you posted shows that Blackrock has purchased large amounts of land in Ukraine. Where is this purchased land? You do not know. When was the land purchased. You do not know. How was the land purchased. You do not know. In effect all that you have done is either intentionally or unintentionally through ignorance repeated a lie put out by Russia in 2022. Your claim is a variation on the exposed Russian lie that US companies purchased 17 million hectares of agricultural land in Ukraine. When the Russian propagandists released their lie, which ignorant idiots accepted without challenge, the Russians cited their source as an Australian site called Australiannationalreview.com, which does not provide any evidence to prove these claims. According to the State Service for Geodesy, Cartography and Cadastre write StopFake, 0.26 million hectares were sold in Ukraine during the year of operation of the land market. This figure is about 0.8% of the area of agricultural land (32.6 million hectares) entered into the geocadastre. Thus, the data on 17 million hectares operated by Kremlin propagandists is 65 times greater than the area of agricultural land actually sold in Ukraine. It gets better. The Australian publication is operated by Jamie Mcintyre, the self described freedom fighter and entrepreneur. Australians may recall Jamie McIntyre as the real estate promoter whoin 2016 was banned from corporate life and offering financial services for a decade as part of corporate regulator ASIC crackdown on land banking. Nice reliable source you got there. I will ask again. Where is the land that is purchased, you know address, location, region? If you are going to claim lots of land was purchased, then surely you will know where it was done. You are indeed regurgitating a Russian lie. Either you are doing this intentionally as an agent of Russia disinformation, or you have been duped and refuse to admit it. You are a classic example of how conmen like Trump succeed.
  9. thailand and Turkey will wlecome more Russian "visitors". 😁
  10. Now, now. The Russian agents, stooges and bots have assured us that the Russian economy is doing well. Remember that they have China and Iran on their side and when that argument fails, they shall give us a chorus of Brics, Brics, Brics.
  11. Only an arrogant person would have the audacity to claim one song as the "best". It is subjective and there can never be one that is the "best". If that was the case, in honour of the senior citizens residing in Chiang mai and pattay, we present the wonderful Wayne Newton;
  12. And many a male visitor to Thailand sees himself as a shining white knight arriving to save young women (and boys) from the sordid life of the beer bar. Sadly, they are lotharios both at heart and in their actions.
  13. US would prefer to keep things calm until after the November election.
  14. Taylor Swift has had relatively few relationships with men. Count them. She is well below the typical numbers for her age group. And unlike Trump she does not pay porn actors for boom boom.
  15. There is no actual evidence to support your position.A questionable poll rushed out to help Trump is not reliable. On the other hand the hundreds of millions of fans outnumber the geriatric fans of 78 year old Trump. Unlike Trump, Taylor Swift is a real billionaire and recognized as a brilliant business person. No bankruptcies ever. https://www.forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyre/2024/02/21/taylor-swift-was-the-biggest-artist-in-the-world-in-2023officially/
  16. Do you believe that there is merit in this being a false flag event? Why did Trump send out a fund raising plea so quickly after the incident?
  17. Nice regurgitation of the Russian talking points. One flaw in the claim, that you overlook: The EU is the principal architect of the resistance to Russian expansionism. In particular, the former east European nations occupied by the cruel despotic Russian colonial military and its puppet regimes are most concerned about the Russian attempt to revive its Soviet empire. After the EU is Canada which has strategically given large amounts per capita to fund the Ukraine fight for freedom. The two most vocal advocates on behalf of Ukraine are Poland and Canada. Please identify and list the large amounts of land that you claim BlackRock has purchased. The claim has been shown to be initiated by Russian misinformation agents. I am giving you the opportunity to support your claim. Now do it.
  18. Trump collective is desperate. People say that the evidence that this wasn''t an inside job or false flag event has not been firmed up. maybe it was a conspiracy to get sympathy for Trump since he was never in danger and sent out a fund raising plea shortly after the event.
  19. Trump collective is but hurt with Taylor Swift's rejection of the convicted felon and serial philanderer Donald Trump. They will toss anything that they can to disparage Taylor Swift. Had she endorsed Trump, they would be singing her high praise and saying how she can motivate young voters. Taylor is always elegant. I expect that the majority of her fanbase are not of voting age. Of the balance, most were most likely in the Harris camp already. A large number of Swift's fans are young, white, educated females. Taylor Swift checks all the boxes for parents; She is free of scandal, polite, respectful, intelligent, has an excellent and close relationship with her parents, and encourages kids to give back to their community. On the other hand, Trump can count on the support of the people they constantly complain about;
  20. He wants to grow tourism, but Thailand cannot handle what it has now. As per the news reports, the tourist destinations are choking with the over development and over building. IMO, this is just a quick cash grab to fund political slush funds.
  21. Pettiness on a grand scale. In functioning democracies this irresponsible activity would be ridiculed and/or condemned for wasting people's time.
  22. How do you propose that he stay and fight? Do you even know who he is and the campaign mounted against him? He has not chosen to run away. He was forced into exile. How has he lost "any credibility or influence he may have had" ? He will be able to continue his activity from the safety of New Zealand. Had he remained in Thailand, he would have been sent to a prison where he would have been subject to physical violence. He can look after his mother now. Had he remained, he would be unable to take care of her. I note that New Zealand is a Constitutional Monarchy and King Charles III, is the head of state. New Zealand, acting on behalf of the Crown, protects the rights of all, including political refugees.
  23. Not a fan of Popeye's, Church's or KFC. Surprised there was Church's/Texas. Never saw a Texas outlet. I have seen a Chester's , and the one time I wanted to order, they only had legs. I much preferred Carl's Jr. Chicken strips, but then Carl's abandoned me. It was the only place where I ordered chicken after having been disappointed everywhere. Bonchon is a growing chain, and I just get disappointed. 3X in 3 years and each more awful than the previous years. As many lament, KFC is King of the hill, but it is awful. Small chickens, greasy and far too much salt. Am I wrong when I believe that Thailand's chicken fast food chains source chicken from the same chicken supplier, Charoen Pokphand Foods (CPF) Thailand or Cargill?
