  1. You do realise that the Guardian, when in Manchester in the 1860's supported the CSA? One extract from the paper on October 10, 1862, read: 'It was an evil day both for America and the world when he (Lincoln) was chosen President of the United States.' A year later it even opposed the Proclamation of Emancipation - which freed slaves - and described the President's time in office after his assassination as 'abhorrent' Now of course it is just an activist paper for the extreme left. One of the biggest supporters of white male dominance at the time was of course Lincoln: “I am not nor ever have been in favour of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality.”
  2. Canadian, unfortunate story about his mother! Last time I asked 'cheap' price for a simple will was 5k, that was 10 years ago in Bkk. Best do it yourself in Thai and English with downloaded forms. Money for old rope.
  3. Using kids for propaganda seems rather desperate
  4. Professor here means very little more than knowing the right people and saying the right things
  5. We have one in a pot watered every day semi sun all day, died.
  6. If masks are useless why do surgeons wear them?
  7. Do you get the constant comments on what dick heads other drivers are?- why they do like that, bloody idiot him, where he going, bar lor, why park there etc etc, does my head in, even with ear plugs!
  8. Top virologist who is just an MD and professor of paediatrics at Chula, I will not be taking anything he says too seriously.
  9. My mrs sometimes goes through a red light claiming she did not see it and why they put there, not to mention not knowing what any road signs mean and never stopping at zebra crossings. However, this woman was Australian so should have been a decent driver, even for a woman.
  10. Does not work on my Black and Decker, but it is 40 years old, which Chinese drills will never see.
  11. The last coffee shop place looked nice, the rest not so much
  12. Oh I remember him, say no more! Mentioned what he wrote on a website before on the Thaiger and got banned.
  13. Living the dream, but regrets leaving friends and family, being an 'alien' being double charged, misses football, shopping for food in the UK and the lack of culture in Thailand. Sounds a bit depressed to me ????
  14. But he lives in Pattaya with a non Thai mrs, sounds more like a nightmare????
  15. If the CSA had won at least the country would have had a better anthem than that cringe worthy star spangled banner????
  16. So why did Lincoln say the invasion of the south was about preserving the Union, and why did Davis say it was about states rights? Certainly slavery was an element in the conflict, but not the main cause. If Lincoln was so committed to ending slavery why did he wait almost 2 years into the war to issue the proclamation to end slavery, and why did it only apply to the CSA when there were still slaves in Union states? Delaware, New Jersey, Kentucky Maryland, Missouri and West Virginia had legal Slavery unaffected by the Emancipation Proclamation. The proclamation was just a ploy to help the war effort, an attempt to cause an uprising of southern slaves, which failed. Trust you to rope Trump into the civil war!
  17. "On the day the American people accepted Abraham Lincoln's invasion of a sovereign state the Republic died and the empire was born." -Washington Post, 1905
  18. No worries they don't check
