What wrong with the statement regarding the LTR visa? Has RD. 743 been repealed?

Actually, IT IS.

Not me, I am 71, did my service, and I am here under another of my 4 passports...

Discussions there will be, but no more, as sending the German president is like sending HM Queen of Netherlands.

, for the time being.

Don't you think that having a health insurance is a sensible requirement? As long as the policy is implemented sensibly and doesn't force people into having redundant covers, as it is the case with OA and OX.

Still remember when the Army thugs removed one of Sukhumvit's main attractions...

I beg to differ somewhat here, since you have the competence to straighten things you should do it, for the sake of the community, and put the "dummy" on a mental ignore.

Agreed, I think we should finish them off right now. Make it a Q1 measurable objective.

Why argue with idiots? Just leave. Your silence will be more powerful than a childish emoticon.

Communism is Progressive Income Tax, no?

And why not just abstain?

If members are forced to articulate [in a civilised fashion] their differing opinions you'd get an animated debate, which is what a forum like this one should be thriving from. Throwing in negative emoticons just goes against that by spreading sterile bitterness.

I used to stay at Icon (Soi 2), now I have moved to the Dawin (Soi 4), ok with me. But I am sure the half dozen of 2/3 star hotels in Soi 2 will lose business from the expats aware of the "geography".

Since you are a moderator... My suggestion would be to remove them all, with one exception the +1 green emoticon. Which is useful as nothing needs to be said when on one is in full agreement. Disagreement should always be a bit more elaborate.

Reagan was in favour of flat[ish] income tax rates. Which I support too, I don't see why some people pay 40% while others pay zilch.

But.. but.. we are more respectable people, less likely to go under the radar and engage in illegal activities.

Line them up against a wall and lodge a 9mm slug under the base of their skulls.

I can't fathom the motivation of these idiots.

Any reason for that? You know something we don't?

Well, some people have nothing better to do, I guess.

Surprised TAT didn't censor the story.

U could have said you have been pondering, ever since.

Read my post, where a said he was a monk. No need to state the obvious again.

Thousands could mean two of three thousands, about 1% of retirees. A realistic figure IMHO.
