save the frogs

Well, you do need to vote and take sides. But then it starts to become a bit ridiculous when you bash everything the other side does and never acknowledge any positive policies.

so for what reasons then, smarty pants?

I think the guy in the video is referring to "defaulting on the debt" as a major issue. but secession has come up in other videos i've seen. breaking up into smaller countries. Texas is one state that might secede if it ever happens.

I'm not a member of anything. I never used to like Trump much. But then I noticed a pattern of unwarranted attacks on him on this forum and I started backing up Trump just to counter all the attacks.

and this is one strong argument for banning it completely. teachers can go way too far and abuse this power.

This is turning into a bit of a riddle. What's NOT a government school, NOT an international school, but a school for affluent kids? Let us know if he PMs you the name and then look into it and get back to us.

this attitude just enhances the never-ending cycle of hostility but it is kind of entertaining

Probably best not to name the school on any online platform to avoid problems.

That should be a separate thread. Why are there so many posters making dubious claims on here?

nobody said it would look pretty

no, just kidding. tipping is out of control back home. pretty soon, you need to pay 50 per cent tips on everything.

Or ... maybe you're a cheapskate

No, no, no. Waving a chainsaw on stage doesn't prove drug use. He's not assaulting people. He's just playing around. He's letting loose, having some fun, and embracing his eccentricity. He's acting. He's on a stage being watched by millions of people. He's enjoying the limelight. He has some ego too and showing off. He's leading us to Mars and he's an eccentric billionaire.

I know a boy who is an extremely well-behaved and educated adult now. His father used to use some tactics to keep him in line. But it was more along the lines of "go to your room. no video games". Relatively benign punishments. That, combined with lots of love and attention and support in raising kids seems to be sufficient. No need to touch them. Your thesis may not be encompassing all factors. Many kids are from broken homes with high divorce rates is one thing that comes to mind. Or maybe just parents working too much. One would need to conduct much more thorough psychological research before concluding that lack of corporal punishment to kids is the main and/or only cause of violence in teens, if it's a factor at all. Teachers can be more caring and patient, although not always possible with large class sizes.

"sources" .... "report alleges" .... LOL good luck wasting your time with more useless and baseless information that cannot be proven AKA probably fake news.

I haven't read all the million posts on here. So let's say no one has argued that men should compete against women. But neither has anyone who is against Trump acknowledged it as something positive. Point is to be 100% against any leader starts to seem crazy at some point. There's gotta be a coupla 2-3 issues you agree with, no? People with some integrity should acknowledge it at some point.

I don't want to diss the guy again, but maybe he's a poor judge of character.

Interesting find. Wonder if it's a globalist elite strategy (not just Trump, but WEF Klaus and company) to reduce global trade for climate change. Also, Covid showed that too much dependence on global trade can cause shortages. So the elites are creating a system of less interdependence? And Trump is reducing taxes on American cars purchased by Americans. How many people gave that a thought growing up that it would benefit their own country to buy an American car? Probably not many. How many of you on here owned a Japanese car or two?

What a big mistake starting this thread. I watched more of the video and he's just another Trump basher distorting reality. My apologies.

haha, this is turning into a trump thread?

Are you high or something? Tariffs are meant to protect American companies. They are being penalized for operating outside of the US. GM is moving part of its production back from Mexico to the US due to the tariffs. And by the way, Trump is lowering taxes on American cars ie if Americans buy American cars. I just asked AI: GM has a flexible North American manufacturing footprint and is adjusting production in response to demand and trade policy changes, such as potential tariffs. Specifically, GM may shift truck production from Mexico to the U.S. to mitigate the impact of tariffs.

But now you're dissing pretentious people. And I've done it myself numerous times on here. But point is ... it's impossible to not diss ever. We all do it.

So you came on this thread to diss Pattaya expats? This thread is about NOT dissing. You missed the entire point.

and you never provoke people with controversial statements, right?

just because you are in thailand, doesn't mean you absolutely need to get hitched up with a thai girl. but if you're already married, doesnt apply to you. your point is valid. there are some, but not as many as in the west maybe where girls tend to be better at conversing. western girls do get the edge there. but it may also come with more feminist tendencies, power struggles.
