  1. Why are people so nasty on here?
  2. Try telling that to a four year old in excruciating agony.
  3. So staggeringly naive......there is only a devil....look around the world at the endless, horrendous suffering. Religions are the work of the devil....his masterpiece
  4. And this omnipotent being, who knows exactly what to do with us humans thought......what the hell.....let's throw in bone cancer for children....see how they cope with that.
  5. Japan to a T. The U.S. had over 15,000 gun deaths, with a per capita rate of 4.42 per 100,000—among the highest in the developed world. • Japan’s gun death rate is over 400 times lower, at 0.01 per 100,000, with fewer than 10 deaths nationwide.
  6. ...............and staggeringly impressionable little children......that's were the devil's 'real' work is achieved.
  7. You are correct to say that.......but the US is a lost cause. The staggering indoctrination they have received with this obsession to own/carry guns is ingrained. It would take strong leaders and many generations to change their mindset.
  8. OMG.....You really believe we need a man in the sky telling us how to work out right from wrong? "Of course some have used religion as a crutch for their violence and insanity",......and the worst by far in that respect has been the christian faith.

  10. Gun controls haven't worked in the UK? • The U.S. had over 15,000 gun deaths, with a per capita rate of 4.42 per 100,000. • The U.K.'s gun death rate is over 100 times lower, at 0.04 per 100,000.
  11. And you would have taught them about God and Jesus had you been born into a Hindu family? Indoctrinating children into any religion is a crime against humanity.
  12. An attempt to execute a doxxer.....this is getting really scary......... Marimar Martinez didn’t just get shot — she got choreographed. Days before the protest, DHS flagged her in an internal bulletin for doxxing Border Patrol agents. No arrest. No warning. Just surveillance. Then, at the Brighton Park protest, she’s suddenly behind the wheel of a ramming vehicle, armed, and surrounded by agents who open fire. She survives — barely — and is charged with terrorism. This wasn’t law enforcement. It was a narrative kill shot. • Flag her digitally: Create a paper trail of threat. • Let her walk into the trap: No preemptive arrest despite intel. • Trigger the confrontation: She’s armed, driving, and exposed. • Use of force: Agents fire. She bleeds. DHS locks the story. • Legal framing: Terrorism charges seal the arc — not just a protester, but a domestic threat. No bodycam. No dashcam. No CPD support. Just silence and a perfect arc: doxxer → shooter → shot → terrorist. She wasn’t neutralized. She was narratively executed — not to kill her body, but to kill her legitimacy. And the system calls it justice. A1
  13. The single most important task of any parent.......just need to add anti-theists
  14. Ultimately there is no political will (backbone?) to do anything about guns in the US. Even those steps that might be consider will have no impact.....just window dressing. The US is basically doomed to massacres, mass shooting, accidental shootings, drive-by shootings........this situation will, at best, not improve, but more likely get worse.
  15. Don't you know? Everyone in the US carrying guns make the US the safest country on earth.......if you ignore all the gun deaths that is.
  16. To build a **quiet, durable, and self-sustaining pipeline** for transferring money from the U.S. to Thailand—without triggering scrutiny or requiring physical presence—you’ll want a setup that’s: - **Legally compliant** (to avoid audit flags) - **Operationally resilient** (no reliance on expiring cards or in-person visits) - **Structurally discreet** (no high-volume transfers or erratic patterns) Here’s a forensic breakdown of viable options: --- ### 🧠 **Core Strategy: U.S. Bank + Thai Access Layer** Maintain a U.S. bank account with online access, and layer it with a mechanism that allows **remote, renewable access** from Thailand. #### ✅ Option 1: **U.S. Bank + Wise (formerly TransferWise)** - **Setup**: Link your U.S. bank account to Wise. Initiate ACH transfers from the U.S. side into Wise, then send to your Thai bank. - **Advantages**: - No card needed—entirely online. - Low fees, mid-market exchange rates. - Wise is regulated and discreet; doesn’t trigger red flags unless volumes spike. - **Longevity**: Works indefinitely as long as your U.S. bank account remains active. #### ✅ Option 2: **U.S. Bank + PayPal + Thai Bank** - **Setup**: Link your U.S. bank to PayPal. Withdraw funds to Thai PayPal, then transfer to Thai bank. - **Advantages**: - No card dependency. - PayPal is globally accepted and relatively stable. - **Caveats**: - Slightly higher fees. - Thai PayPal must be verified and linked to a local bank. #### ✅ Option 3: **U.S. Brokerage Account with Global Transfer** - **Setup**: Use a U.S. brokerage (e.g., Charles Schwab, Fidelity) that allows international wire transfers. - **Advantages**: - Schwab refunds ATM fees worldwide if you keep the card active. - Fidelity allows wire transfers to Thai banks. - **Longevity**: If card expires, wire transfers still work via online access. --- ### 🧱 **Structural Enhancements** To make the setup truly “forever”: - **Add a U.S. Virtual Mailbox** (e.g., Traveling Mailbox, Anytime Mailbox) - Receive replacement cards, bank mail, IRS notices. - Forward to Thailand or scan contents. - **Enable Online Banking + Mobile Authenticator** - Avoid SMS-based 2FA (which may fail abroad). - Use app-based authentication (e.g., Authy, Google Authenticator). - **Nominate a U.S. Trusted Contact** - If needed, they can receive and forward replacement cards securely. --- ### 🕵️‍♂️ **Avoid These Pitfalls** - **Using ATMs in Thailand with U.S. cards long-term**: Risk of expiration, fraud, or loss. - **Large or erratic wire transfers**: Can trigger AML scrutiny. - **Crypto conversions**: Legally gray, volatile, and not “forever” stable. All my own work.
  17. How many chins can they fit on a $1 coin?
  18. October 7, 2025 is designated as a no-alcohol day in Thailand because it marks Wan Ok Phansa, the End of Buddhist Lent. This is one of the five major Buddhist holidays when alcohol sales are strictly prohibited nationwide.

    The loop hole they are looking at relates to....... 'cannot be elected' ..........for a third term!!!!
  20. Not family as such........but I'm often out front between the garden wall and the road faffing about.......nearly everyone passing waves, smiles or shouts out 'hello'.
  21. Well, bend me over backwards and slap me with a wet fish......Uncle Tu up to something fishy?.......Never.
  22. No way they'll get rid of Barrett.......she is 100% MAGA stalwart
  23. Where do I express that opinion?
