Indeed the US has outsourced its menial tasks to other nations, for instance making cars. The Germans have to make the cars for the US, and they know they need the US market. Without the US market Mercedes, Porsche, BMW and Volkswagen would go bankrupt tomorrow. The US can do this because the rest of the world is financing its economy with loans. The US benefits from the trade deficits and European nations being addicted to US debt papers. Why Do Europeans buy American IOUs? Because of the interest rate that is guaranteed as America is the last rock solid economy on earth. The power of the US economy is awesome in the truest sense of the word. Hence, Trump could just influence Denmark into doing whatever the US wants with tariffs.

Firstly Denmark is not a European "country". It's a non-country. A province of Northern Germany really. Denrmark is not a real country. Much like a Falabella pony is not really a horse. It has no army to speak of and could resist America about as much Chanthaburi province. America should just take Greenland outright.

The US already has military bases in Greenland and de-facto control of Greenland. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwy3y8l8nwlo It's unlikely the US would need to invade formally. Trump could just impose massive tariffs on Danish and other European products, so Denmark would effectively give Trump an excuse to do what he wanted to do anyway, As Trump knows, a large number of Danish and EU companies have already started building factories in the US, precisely to pre-empt penalties as a result of massive US tariffs. More jobs for Americans. Trump really is an utter genius.

It's not Thailand according to this article. https://medium.com/@the_scrapbookers/the-reality-of-burning-season-in-thailand-laos-and-the-rest-of-south-east-asia-217c9bc3dacf

The continued burning in Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia would indeed continue to degrade air quality during burning season. So given the fact that Thailand's enforcement would be expensive, but would not result in the removal of the burning season issue by any stretch of the imagination it is in fact rational for Thailand to minimise the cost of enforcement. Why waste resources on a problem which Thailand cannot solve alone? It would be stupid for Thais to expend great cost in eliminating burning on their territory whilst Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar merrily burn away, and continue to cause the issue we have every year.

The United States is richer than God. It can not only sustain a military operation, it has done so dozens of times in the past and continued to prosper. To defeat a tiny province like Denmark would be almost negligible in terms of cost. In fact much like in WWII Denmark would probably roll over without a fight,. Mexico has a rich culture which does not fit the American mould, Greenland has none of that. It would be a perfect territory to annex. You don't seriously believe Britain or France would oppose the US, neither of those countries would risk nuclear destruction over Denmark. Denmark would make America bleed? Maybe like a mosquito makes you bleed. The US should just take Greenland. Why not do it?

He does not. The US do not need to pay Denmark a penny. The US can simply take Greenland by military force. Nothing could stop the US from doing so, certainly not a non-country like Denmark, a German province at best. Why anyone should pander to the sensibilities of Danes is anyone's guess. Trump is being far too soft, he should just annex Greenland by military force. Why squander money on Denmark?

Why get upset about it? Even if Thailand had 100% enforcement, the burning from Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar would still ensure the burning season would make the air quality worse. Thailand cannot stop the burning issue alone.

Another pointless communist step dance nobody needs. So many Spanish communities are dying, thanks to communist mismanagement, nobody needs crayz taxation on buyers, except communists to feed their voting base. You would have to be insane to buy a house in Spain anyway though, Spain is riddled with crime, African immigration and indigenous corruption. Taxation is ridiculous already, but pensions are great. Another Greece in the making. Since, as we all know, most Spaniards do not pay tax.

I was just on Walking Street a few days ago and there was nothing, no fights, nobody accosted me, not even the prostitutes standing outside the venues, I was quite disappointed. A very tame street. Walking street felt more like a touristy road in Spain, Magalluf maybe, apart from the menus they thrust in your face. If anyone in Pattaya again boasts on here about the quality of women in Pattaya I will just laugh in their face though, the working girls were just as old and unappealing as in Chiang Mai. Even the Russians.

The problem is that attributes like kindness, compassion, caring only are of relevance if you are physically attracted to her in the first place. A gal can be Mother Teresa, but if she looks like her her kindness won't make you want to be with her. It's the same with women, btw, if the guy is attractive different rules apply. If he isn't it's sexual harassment. I guess nature built us for physical attraction.

No, there is no way a 9 or a 10 would ever be considered a 3, by anyone. People who say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, well, they're wrong. There are rules to beauty. And some women are so stunningly beautiful ANYBODY would say they're a 10. Yes, there are personal preferences of course. But a 10 is a 10 for anybody in the modern world. I am of course excluding tribes removed from modern life where bizarro beauty rules apply. But for us in the modern world the numbers rating makes perfect sense and if anyone is in any doubt what a 10 is, happy to post pics.

Actually that's a fair point. 10s are, by definition, very rare. Yet it is not impossible to meet one.

The gripes with 10s can be corrected. Bad performance in bed? She can be taught. Lack of integrity? She can learn that lies have consequences. You can't make good wine from bad grapes, so if she's a truly rotten human being, fine, but some 10s are not, they are capable of learning. It's a risk of course.

I had a date with a Filipina who is a 5 at best. Great company, fun personality. But the thick behind and legs and round head, strangely shaped eyes etc, I didn't even feel like smashing her. Still enjoyed the company. But in the end you have to be physically attracted. Now with a Thai girl who is a 10 and while the personality is nowhere near as fun, the convo not as flowing, there is a real sexual tension which the Filipina could never elicit. All this soul to soul, personality stuff is just applicable AFTER you are actually physically attracted.

It's well known that 10s are an entitled nightmare to date. Inside and outside of Thailand. But would you date an ugly lwoman just so that you don't have to deal with other guys hitting on her? Probably not. So why date a 6 for LTR? I just can't do it. I can't live with myself if I see her and just feel disappointed due to her looks. Yes, integrity is a massive problem with 10s, yes, bedroom performance too, yes, everything in the OP post is true. But I still would prefer a 10 over a 6 for LTR.

Yah, that sounds totally convincing. A very honest man clearly and totally innocent.

Very shocking leftist dirty laundry. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Absolutely right, that should be added on.

Let's look at it in detail, put some meat on them bones: Mobile phone 300 Internet 500 Water 130 Electricity 2600 Groceries 8000 Grab dinners 3200 Transport 3400 So yah, it can be done, IF you don't get health insurance, Netflix, luxury Euro foods and breads. But it's super-tight. I wouldn't wish it on anybody.

Spot on, I opted for Jomtien as there's no traffic near this resort so I can sleep. And only 15 mins into the action, so I can live with that.

You're not wrong, it was a scramble to get the last room in this resort. But I got it.

Hopefully paying for my lunch. She works in a factory, you know.

Great, thanks! And what places does one visit in Pattaya for casual day time activity?

Hi guys, never been to Pattya, but I am heading there in a few days to stay for 3 days. My idea was to get a good hotel close to the beach. Does anyone have good hotel tips or general advice? Don't need to be close to night life, already have a girl coming with me. So good standard hotel, bathtub would be ideal. Much appreciated!
