Wow. What's life like up there on that high horse!?

Presumably, you have to include yourself in that characterisation.

But it isn't.

Thanks for your self-description.

Which rule of law are you suggesting this EO flouts?

Is telling authorities to enforce the laws in this area, which is all he is doing, likely to be illegal?

Indeed, one does, but I'm surprised that you admit to it.

What does it matter?

Yes, I can honestly say that I have never moaned about any of the things that you reference, although I have to admit I don't even know what "inverted price structure" means. I cannot remember when soi dogs were ever a problem in the parts of Bangkok that I have lived in or go to. I have never complained about corruption as that would be hypocritical, I doubt that there are many people who have not had some benefit from corruption, whether, just to give a couple of examples, it is police "discretion" on traffic offences or enjoying a drink after official hours. I'm sure that others have experience of taking advantage of other areas that corruption may affect. What "noise" is it that you assume people should be complaining about? No point in complaining about pollution unless you can do something about it and complaining sure doesn't. I must admit that I have moaned about my two Thai ex-wives.

He'd already been formally arrested by virtue of his being fined.

No chance that a tourist will have his own place that could be similarly vandalised.

Is it? That's not logical, it may be your opinion, though.

Yes, big difference between what some poster here claims he said and what he actually said. He did not say that he will take Greenland using military force if necessary.

You may have done but "we" certainly have not. Some posters really should stop using the collective "we", falsely claiming that "we all...", blah, blah, blah. It may make you feel less guilty but it is a fallacy.

HIs quote isn't correct but here's one that is: “We’ll get Greenland. Yeah, 100%,” Trump said, adding that there is a “good possibility that we could do it without military force” but that he wouldn’t “take anything off the table.” https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/trump-nbc-interview-greenland-tariffs-signal?srsltid=AfmBOoqftDnEpQVOMaMcv3NpRQwXDcw-3nORheR-bINJJScf4boK1Gnx Do you see a substantive difference? Yes, I do, and I know that his quote was not correct, that's why I asked him for a link. There's a big difference between saying that a country "will be taken using military force if necessary" and what Trump has actually said. Similar words but they have different meanings with entirely different intent.

Have you got the link to where he actually said those words, phrased like that?

My experience of Camillian in Thong Lo is good and not expensive.

I do but without respond. Perhaps it's you, then?

Speak for yourself, you're in no position to make a fallacious statement such as that.

Why? What makes you think that any tax that is due will not be paid.

Indeed, but you pretend that you know everything and comment on everybody without even knowing if what you say is true...Check with here in Thailand with the people living here and you have proof or don't say anything about others if you can't proof it I made a suggestion about Americans' knowledge of their country's geographical location ("50% of them probably don't even know where the US is!"), something that I am entitled to do on this forum. It is not something that I have to prove anymore than you have to prove that the following statement that you made is true... "Ask a Thai on a map to show where Thailand is... You would be surprised" So, to use your words, "don't say anything about others if you can't proof it" [sic] I do not "pretend to know everything" but the comments that I make are generally accurate but, if you can specify any of my posts that have factually incorrect claims, please quote them here and I will address them. Bear in mind that my opinions are not claims that have to be proven.

Oh gosh, how awfully distressing. You do know that your "Ignore" list has no effect whatsoever on those included in it, yes?

Wow - such a flurry of vapid, argumentative, ridiculously stupid posts. Wow. Please quote them, specifically, then. None of my post have been "vapid", none "argumentative" (always the lame description applied by those who cannot tolerate differing opinions) and certainly none have been "ridiculously stupid" but if you do not fit into any of those categories that you suggest that I fit into, you will be able to justify your bizarre personal attack.

Jesus Christ...yet you're accusing him of having the mental acuity of a rabid gerbil? The irony is astonishing.

The "fact"? 'Kin 'ell.
