That makes the investors and those who provided credit dumb for not doing due diligence!

The problem of costs for companies is a bit fake.. Indeed the costs will go up, but than ( I am sorry to say) a few people must be fired. I walk in many stores and i see a lot of people not working but playing their cellphones.. So they don't have anything to do. The productivity will go up if they know when they play on the phone they will get fired.. On the other hand there is so much work in Thailand that a lot of Burmese/Cambodian/Laos /Malaysian people have to come in to do the jobs.. The ones on their cellphones could take those jobs too.. Everybody happy...

You really don't now what you are talking about! The reason Thai's don't do the jobs that the migrant workers do, is 1, The migrant workers get paid less than Thai's. 2, Thai's won't do the jobs the migrant workers do. As for workers on mobiles in stores, if there are no customers what are the workers supposed to do. Shuffle pieces of paper around to make it look as if they are busy.

"I've studied more than 5,000 near death experiences".

Who were they?

Were they perfect people, you know, god fearing, self righteous, self-serving, self important church goers?

Or were they murderous dictators, serial killers, child predators, you know, that kind of thing?

5,000 is a lot of pure peoples........

 

 

 

That implies only righteous people will experience life after death. That is a load of rubbish. No such thing as pure people. Who decides who's pure? 

Maybe the truth is, we will never know if there is life after death. No one has ever come back and said there is such a thing.

Do animals think the same as us about life after death?

Why not? Aren't we all led to believe that we are equal?

Are we that superior to the other creatures on this planet, you know - all those that were here before us?

We are mammals. Did Neanderthal man think like this?

Can you name one animal other than us that believes it?

If not, why doesn't it include all life on earth.

Why just us, the most vindictive, cruel, murderous, selfish, uncaring, sexual predators that ever inhabited this planet.

So, why are we so blessed?

Utter nonsense!

 

 

 

I think therefore I am! lol.

Near death is not death! We might realise we will die at the point death happens. But once the lights are out. They are out. 

Life after death is a made up idea pushed by religions to appease the question of "why are we here" Be a good person and you will surely go to heaven. Be Bad and go to hell. Just a way to control people. Like the ten commandments were the first laws to control societies.

Not my narrative, I quoted what the judge said who is not the only judge to make similar remarks when sentencing rioters from Jan 6th and left out the opinion piece promoted by Trump and his followers which is indeed nonsense.

You must of missed the last couple of sentences?

WASHINGTON — A Florida man was sentenced Friday to just over five years in prison for assaulting police officers during the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.

The added opinion that "Chutkan appeared to lament the fact Trump was not yet in prison" is made up nonsense.

So when it doesn't fit your narrative, It's made up nonsense. I wonder how many posters are interested in a fair Trail. Rather than pre judging a guilty verdict?

What was inaccurate in what she said?

It shows she is not fit to judge the case because she is bias. Certainly didn't say anything was inaccurate. Obviously you think Trump should be in Jail. Well that is your opinion, right or wrong!

Before sentencing Christine Priola, a Trump supporter from Ohio who pleaded guilty to obstruction of an official proceeding, to 15 months in jail, Chutkan appeared to lament the fact Trump was not yet in prison. “[The] people who mobbed that Capitol were there in fealty, in loyalty, to one man – not to the Constitution, of which most of the people who come before me seem woefully ignorant, not to the ideals of this country, and not to the principles of democracy,” Chutkan said on Oct. 28, 2022. “It's a blind loyalty to one person who, by the way, remains free to this day." (Emphasis added.)

"bad eyes"? Really. Your comment is absolutely not deranged in any way whatsoever. An absolutely rational and unbiased appraisal of the judge. Truly a model of thoughtfulness.

She is on record, lamenting the fact Trump was not in Jail. She could not be more bias!

It sounds as if you want to have electric cables run over someone else's land to get to your house. This being the shortest route to your house? assuming you have a road or a track leading to your house, the electric poles would have to follow along the edge of the road/track to get to your house.  

It really doesn't matter the condition of the land you want to cross. It belongs to someone else, so you would need their permission first. Doubtful you would get that permission. 

Maybe you should have sorted that out before you built your house! surely the builders needed electricity at some stage of the build. Did they use a generator?

What "dose" of stinging nettle did you take?  On Amazon I see capsules of varying quantities like 250mg, 500mg, 750mg, 870mg, etc.

500mg.

I am already heavily to the quackery cures.  I eat pumpkin seeds morning and night and tomatoes and other fruits with lycopeen.  I don't mind those supposed remedies because that are actually foods...and quiet tasty as well.

 

Can you please elaborate on what daily dosage of the nettle capsules you took and over what duration to reduce your prostate.

 

I am a tea totaller and drink only the best imported black tea.  But I drank it white and sweet.  I am also a big cake and candy guy.  I am very fit and healthy so weight was never a problem.  But I have ditched all refined sugar.  I have a peppermint plant in my back garden and now, each morning I make myself a cup of lemon peppermint tea.  I don't really miss the black tea to be honest.  

 

I already eat a lot of avocadoes, but I also loved eating cuacomoli on toast for breakfast.  But I have ditched bread entirely and so am struggling to find something "crunchy" to accompany my avos.  I tried baked slices of sweet potatoe, and that kind of works...you reheat them from the freezer in your toaster....but still a bit lack luster.....it is not so much the taste of bread...but the texture that I miss....and the convenience.

 

I took one capsule per day. After about a month or sooner you should notice a change. But do your own research.   https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/stinging-nettle

From Thai PBS.

After a 12-month delay, the Thai Treasury Department will put into force a new national land appraisal price list for 2023-2026 on January 1st 2023. It will see the appraisal price for land in Bangkok rise by about 3% and in other provinces by an average of 8%.

anyone else get the feeling when hanging out with thais that they are constantly watching us to see if we do anything that is considered a cultural faux pas?

 

I get that feeling regularly, especially when socializing with thai males, its like they are waiting for us to slip up and make a scene so that they have something to gossip about with their buddies.

 

Anyone else get the feeling they are always watching you?

Paranoid much?

But how does one send in the money from abroad without a bank account in Thailand ? Besides Western Union or Money Gram etc....no other means

Open a Thai Bank account. Preferably Bangkok Bank, Kasikorn or SCB.

I don't understand. 

I got the EUROS sent to the account a couple of hours ago and just took some out. 

Maybe you mean move from my EURO account to my Thai Baht account on Wise?

Sorry, I mean, send funds to Wise. When it gets there make your transfer. For some reason doing it that way saves on the fees compared to initiating a transfer on Wise then sending funds to Wise.
