  1. There was never any intent to attract cannabis tourists. There have been too many problems associated with the cannabis business, in particular money laundering and hooliganism. No one would have done anything if the jerks who fire up a blunt anywhere they want had been more discreet and respectful of others.
  2. You visited its profile. Visit it again as I have just done. It is still accessing the site: Last visited Sunday at 09:26 PM Perhaps a posting holiday or reincarnated under a new name. Whatever the reason, I am not losing sleep over its nonsensical infantile content.
  3. Before there can be any peace talks there has to be a ceasefire. It is quite impressive that a ceasefire was obtained so quickly. It may have been the price Israel had to accept in order to get the B2 payload delivered. Whatever the reason, it is a ceasefire and hopefully it takes hold. Unfortunately, iran's FM says there is no ceasefire and Iran continued to launch missiles into Israel past 7 a.m. local time, when the ceasefire announced by US President Donald Trump was intended to take effect. I do hope you are wrong, as the alternative is a continued war.
  4. And yet you still understood and were so concerned, perhaps motivated by insecurity, to offer a feeble attempt of rebuttal, that fell flat, much as I expect your career did.
  5. I expect that it was one of the portable dry versions that some RVs use. It has to be a dry catch set up because they can't risk a liquids leak. So they would use handpack TP or tissues and wetwipes.
  6. You can always make your own version, except featuring Ceaucescu, your hero of the revolution.
  7. Neither. They just don't crap for the 20 hours. Not difficult, especially if not physically active. They void their bowels before leaving, and are good until the next day. Is it any different than someone who voids at 10 AM, goes off to work, exercise, eat and voids again the next day?
  8. The vehicle fumes, dust, silica, insects and road debris that floats over the roads is pretty bad. There are some days, when one has to wear the mask or else spend a few hours coughing and sneezing toxic dirt. This isn't about Covid, or some other farang imagined conspiracy. One wears a mask if one wants to breathe.
  9. Iran asked for a ceasefire, which the Israelis have kindly agreed to. The israelis were the first to respond to the Emir of the UAE's request. A bit too quickly too IMO, as if the UAE was waiting for the signal to go ahead. The outcome is that the Sunni Arabs are the ones who initiated the ceasefire agreement sending a strong message to shiites who wish to cause them problems. The Iranian regime has lost at least 1/2 of its missile inventory and capability, if not more and is more contained than ever. Iran cannot afford to divert money into their rebuilding when it cannot meet the social service needs of its people. The Iranians were already complaining about Iranian public funds going to prop up rogue regimes and international terrorism, while Iranians did without.
  10. Sabra's hummus and guacamole tubs and ready-to-go snack packs are distributed to retailers across the US and Canada. Sabra hummus is produced in Chesterfield County, Virginia with chickpeas grown on family-owned farms in the Pacific Northwest. Sabra guacamole is made in Mexico using real Hass avocados. Pepsico had a 50% ownership starting in 2008. It owns 100% as of 2024. The boycott of the product demonstrates the blind hatred and prejudice that the Palestinian militants have. The Israeli Strauss family at one time owned 50% of the company. Their crime was being israeli.
  11. The administration of Presidents Bush, Obama and Biden made this possible. MOP development efforts date to at 2002. In 2009, Boeing was awarded contracts to complete aircraft integration with MOP. Although, the MOP was first delivered in late 2011, the current model GBU-57 that uses a BLU-127 series explosive device capable of neutralizing a mountain embedded target only became available in 2019. This was during Trump's first term of office. The point is that it takes time to develop an effective weapon and the USA and Boeing did just that. How about acknowledging the contribution that the administrations of Bush, Obama and Biden made, and how about recognition of Boeing's work? Delivery of the payload without any hostile interference came courtesy of the Israeli airforce who silenced the Iranian air defence. The Israelis performed brilliantly, and the US delivery of the payload is on another level of mission excellence. It was the dream outcome of a high risk operation. The ability to keep it quiet merits praise for all participants. And President Trump deserves some praise too. He had everyone fooled. Totally suckered the Iranians into thinking they had him on the ropes. The man knew what he was doing.
  12. Thaksin and the military high command.
  13. Context please. Spain is experiencing "an influx of predominantly Latin American immigrants". This is a critical factor because it allows for a better integration of immigrants. It should be obvious; - Similar language - Similar religion, ethnicity and culture When an immigrant shares many of the characteristics of the host country and understands the local language, then integration is easier. Job placement is easier too. It is a sharp contrast to the Arab and African migrants who migrate Often they do not share a similar culture or understand the local language. They end up on social benefits, living in ghettos and clinging to their homeland culture, not integrating.
  14. The only group which makes a large profit with little risk are the owners of the F1 business.
  15. When the chat programs became accessible. Do you have a preferred program?
  16. It is a nonsensical statement out of context and not reflective of the political views of Lt. Jabotinsky MBE.
  17. And once again another statement attributed to a person out of context. Jabotinsky was not a zionist leader. He was however a Lieutenant in the the Royal Fusiliers, serving in WWI and awarded an MBE. He was given to imagery befitting his his prewar career as as a poet and playwright. Radical leftists and Arab nationalists have tried to characterize the man as a right wing anti arab agitator. The reality is that his political writings advocate for a co-existence with arabs and that no arab should be forced out their home or off of their land. He is the one who made the argument that the arabs in Israel should join in the new prosperity as equals. This sentiment did not go over well with some Israelis, or Arabs as it promoted co-existence, and so he was targeted, subject to false claims.
  18. This shows how screwed up the Russians are. North Korea and Russia are the only two nations and maybe Pakistan would do this. However, now that the USA has shown that it is neither isolationist or a coward like the EU does not have much to worry about. Anyone screwing around will get vaporized. Iran had 15 years to negotiate an agreement. Instead it delayed, lied and dragged talks out. The plan that you are trying to pass off as an agreement to limit nuclear arms was not. The Iranians, one week after signing stated that the plan would not limit their nuclear weapon and missile development activities. President Obama did not believe the Iranians. He was the person who initiated the building of bunker buster bombs. At the time that the plan was signed, it was the only option available to the USA to slow the Iranians down.
  19. Your attack reflects ignorance. Some of us have had proper educations and/or are well read. You neither liberated me, nor my nation. Obviously you are trying to antagonize and to provoke. The free world was fighting the nazis starting in Spain in 1936. The USA did not show up until 1942, and then it came only because of Pearl Harbor. Until then, the USA was content to profit from the war.
  20. When did engineers study the atmosphere or the relationship between photosynthesis and carbon uptake, or organic chemistry? What type of engineer? Some people who drive trains call themselves an engineer. Others who collect trash are sanitation engineers. There are many types of professional engineers. They can be civil or mechanical or chemical or software. so which one are you? Chemical and Biomedical engineers tend to be rather proud of their education (and rightly so) and will typically differentiate themselves from the generic civil engineers. So, what in your curriculum of training prepared you for an assessment of atmospheric analysis? Are you building walkways between the clouds?
  21. A non event, and hardly serious. it does not rate a mention in most tourist towns. On any given day, even in Hua Hin, there is some jerk doing similar, and more often than not it is a European (including Russian). They just don't get written up as is the sport in Pattaya.
  22. Are you upset that iran can no longer provide Russian with drones and missiles?
  23. You are pushing your own bias and imaginations on to people. The reason why the procedure is done at an early age is because the amount of skin removed is relatively small 1 cm or less and the recovery is fast. The people who are so vocal in their opposition are typically European and are often people with fetishes or emotional instability. Normal people do not obsess over a penis foreskin and they certainly do not invent false "information" to support their claims as many of the fetishists seem to do. The procedure has been around since the dawn of time, and has variations. The common practice amongst multiple different cultures, and the billions of people who are circumcised who are doing ok does suggest there was a shared benefit. They don't need some angry European telling them how to live their lives. If Jesus, and Nelson Mandela were ok, then take the hint not to meddle in other people's genitalia.
  24. Yes I have. It is not a long judgement and can easily be read in 10 minutes. In my original reply I did quote key parts of the judgement. I even provided a link. The court's opinion is not a ruling on gender reassignment. It is a ruling on whether or not the 14th amendment was violated by the TN law. The takaway is that a state can determine what medical treatments can or cannot be administered, which is why I believe Libertarians can be expected to be having fits. It is an example of Big Government reaching into people's daily lives.
  25. A large number of German immigrants most certainly were. The German American Bund was holding rallies in many US cities. The largest was the infamous Madison Square Gardens rally, which had 20,000 in attendance. Huge for the era. The Bund was openly pro-Nazi and engaged in political activities that were anti American. One of the more notorious events was the attack on the German language New Yorker Staats-Zeitung .Their demands included more pro-Nazi articles and more articles denouncing western European democracies. The Bund attempted to take control of multiple German American organizations. Its downfall came when when Socialists and patriotic ethnic Germans participated in a campaign against the Bund. The Bund was eventually undone because of its internal corruption. Revisionist historians would have us believe that the American German community was wholly opposed to the Nazis, when that was not the case. The people who were opposed are those who had fled German persecution and wanted nothing to do with the Germany of old; the Mennonites and other Christians, Jews, and socialists. Most 3rd and older generation Americans who had German heritage, did not consider themselves German, but American and were not interested in the Bund and its hate. The ethnic German socialists were some of the USA's most patriotic and they rallied against the Bund. However, there were still tens of thousands of nazi supporters who had to be dealt with in WWII.
