    How do you know this?

    Long may they continue to rule, and resist vile "progressive" western culture. Thailand is a conservative country.
  3. sidneybear
    Like the US you mean? Where people have to choose between Biden and Trump? What kind of a democracy is that?
  4. sidneybear
    Does such a place exist, anywhere in the world?

    The youth don't know anything and haven't contributed anything. Why should we listen to them until they've contributed to society? They should be made to shut up and listen to their elders and betters.

    You're really condescending and jeery, in what is supposed to be a civil discussion, but you're wrong nonetheless. It's still impossible to create carbon that doesn't exist by increasing its mass. A scientist should be more specific by stating the details. Atmospheric carbon dioxide is correct. Carbon is incorrect.
  7. sidneybear
    You're including the mass of the oxygen that combines with the carbon in diesel to form CO2. Since matter can't be created, it's true that it's impossible to synthesise 2.7 kg of *carbon* from 0.85 kg of diesel. What was that you were saying about maths, science, and ignorance?

    Of course it isn't illegal to look like a hobo, but it's so easy to present nicely and be welcomed into the country you took all that trouble to fly to. Why invite scrutiny and contempt, just to make some daft libertarian point, when all you want to do is sail through the airport, grab a beer and crash out at your hotel?

    Right. When asking to be let into a country, I wear clean clothes, shoes or trainers, new looking jeans or chinos, and a polo shirt. I speak to officials in a friendly but respectful way. It's not rocket science, and I've never had trouble with immigration or customs anywhere, ever.

    They scowl a lot.
  11. sidneybear
    True. If you present yourself to immigration with dreadlocks, a Beer Chang vest and fisherman's trousers, don't be surprised if they give you a hard time. Thais value neat appearance and politeness.
  12. sidneybear
    People have been saying this for decades.
  13. sidneybear
    Thank you for your detailed answer.
  14. sidneybear
    Have you done it yourself? Registered and used local healthcare? I was hoping for a more detailed reply on the step by step process of how you yourself did it.
  15. sidneybear
    Common sense. How can you have peace talks that don't include both warring sides, particularly the side that's got the upper hand on the battlefield? It's ludicrous, and shows the whole world how divorced from reality the western governments sponsoring this war have become.
  16. sidneybear
    I have a question on healthcare, given that hospitals get more expensive, and Thai healthcare is as good as many western countries these days.... Have any of you naturalised Thais tried registering for or using the free healthcare services that the locals use? The scheme that used to cost 30 Baht, or whatever replaced it. I'd heard somewhere that naturalised Thais don't get the same perks as ethnic Thais.
  17. sidneybear
    True. The US is so hypocritical that it's lost sight of its own hypocrisy. Putting politicians in kangaroo courts is what they're accusing Thailand of doing.
  18. sidneybear
    The US isn't a democracy. It's a kakistocracy.
  19. sidneybear
    The same thing happens in Britain.
  20. sidneybear
    What kind of a "democracy" offers its electorate the choice between Biden and Trump? The US is a laughing stock, and should mind its own business. Every US foreign policy intervention since World War 2 has been an absolute disaster.
  21. sidneybear
    Good news. Meth is dreadful stuff that wrecks lives.
  22. sidneybear
    Nahhh... sounds like American sour grapes, a manifestation of the Thucydides Trap. The US empire and influence are waning fast. Like it or not, China owns Asia now.

    Turbulence is a normal risk of flying and can happen without warning, or be more severe than pilots expect. Keep your seatbelt on.

    Glaad grooms and sexualises children, before mutilating their genitals. This is the filth they believe in: https://glaad.org/factsheet-evidence-based-healthcare-transgender-people-and-youth/ Glaad folks certainly have their place: the electric chair.

    Glad publishes a survey to show support for Pride . ... bwaaahhhaaahhhaa
