  1. Welcome Gerjan, Just to clarify a few things first: 1. "English (or Dutch) classes" meaning just the language? e.g. ESL (English as a second language) or do you mean all subjects in English (or Dutch?) 2. Your employer is willing to pay 200,000 (two hundred thousand) Baht for the six months? 3. How much are you willing to pay on top of that? 4. Bangkok is huge, which area would you be living in?
  2. What the fugg... https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/66470820 Liverpool have agreed a British record transfer fee of £111m with Brighton for midfielder Moises Caicedo. However, Chelsea are now trying to secure a deal for the Ecuador international despite Brighton rejecting a succession of bids from the club earlier in the summer. It is thought the 21-year-old's preference would be to move to Stamford Bridge. It remains to be seen whether the Blues will now match Liverpool's bid. Brighton had set a fee in excess of £100m for Caicedo and had said they felt no-one would reach it. Chelsea are believed to have bid £80m previously.
  3. Then again, from your own (apparently not sarcastic posts), Bill Maher - as about as <deleted> liberal as you can get - is questionably liberal to you. The very normal term "far left" - a term used by the BBC to describe a leading French presidential candidate - confuses you. And more recently, anyone who has a strong negative reaction to the celebration of removal of healthy breast tissue at a coffee store is a "bigoted snowflake" The above evidence suggests your appraisal of what might constitute "left wing" and "right wing" may be affected by your own fairly extremist positions.
  4. This is not in dispute, and I've posted about this concerning people like Carlson and left-leaning US personalities like Jimmy Dore. What is very much in dispute is your 100% tendency to characterize extremist views as "rightwing" out of apparent reflex reaction.
  5. Thanks for the attempted dodge on another's behalf. It addresses zilch concerning the meme-like use of "right-wing" to actually mean "anything I don't like".
  6. Because you wanted me to respond to your logical fail and refusal to engage with overlooked facts....with....more facts? Get off your high-horse, post less and read more, read widely, and stop hating on podcasts - if that's a still a thing with you.
  7. I think pretty much every single historian, sociologist, politician worthy of the title would disagree with your non-sense characterization. But then again, progressive types seem to have trouble with basic definitions of words in English.
  8. Oh wow, on the next page, the hypocrisy is laid out as clear as day. This post was in response to Brit's post "But sadly I'm extreme left wing. " Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, take note: If it's bad and I disagree, it's "rightwing ", but in case it is actually from an extreme leftwing person, it's "rightwing" anyway. Beautiful.
  9. "The kind of misrepresentation of facts that characterizes rightwing grievance politics "- he says. Jesus Christ! Apparently types that out 'with a straight face'. No no my over-eager fellow poster, it is LEFTWING grievance politics, especially tear-down-the-system "PROGRESSIVE" politics that seeks to regressively destroy the whole system due to perceived "injustices" fed to gullible non-critical thinkers some of whom has an arrogance disdain for learning. Or reading factual news outside of their own bubble.
  10. Again, if you actually realized the world was bigger than just you and your Echo Chamber of like-minded fanatics on this website, you'd easily find out that the rest of the world is calling time on this absolute pseudo-science-cum-gender-ideology BS infesting parts of North America.
  11. "apparently nothing to do with?" - HA! Oh dear oh dear oh dear.... Some people just can't put 1 and 1 together when it comes to blatant selection bias in news reporting. Also, understanding what the BBC is about, as clearly written (as opposed to the stuff you get in the US) takes a tiny bit of sophistication. Finally, reading the link and seeing the hysterical editorializing in another very very relevant story requires a modicum of intellectual honesty. Other than that, you're kinda right?!
  12. The BBC can no longer be trusted to report on any "LGBT rights" issues, even when the target of criticism is a flagrant human rights violator like Putin's Russia. They've well and truly jumped on the propaganda bandwagon when it comes to transgenderism. Just read the barely concealed outrage at the news that the a Canadian governor dared to tweak a Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity policy. Oh no, boys wanting to play on the girls team was no longer automatically, explicitly guaranteed - a true abomination! https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-66061514 Worse still, parental approval was needed for **kids under the age of 16** to claim a right to change their pronouns -- oh quelle horreur BBC!! There's impartiality forced on them when it comes to overt political news reporting, thank god. So the arrogant cultural extremists transparently try to make up for it in any other way possible.
