  1. Please supply objective evidence of support by Thai people towards the Trump. As far as I can tell from the Thai media, of those that have an opinion, they are very divided about that. Anecdotal personal stories do not count.
  2. Even if he was he never accepts personal responsibility for any problem, he always deflects blame, and even if he was legally liable, who's going to enforce that? Surely not his puppet DOJ Bondi.
  3. The election was a binary choice between at least acceptable and the criminally corrupt absolute MONSTER that we got (again). Harris was never my first choice if there had been a real democratic party primary. Sadly Biden is totally to blame for that not happening. So your question is straw man GARBAGE.
  4. Only my hairdresser knows for sure.
  5. Time to VOMIT. Again. He's not only a dictator but a MAD dictator. Pretty much everything he does is in contrast to values of American democracy. Of course he's too stupid to even know what those are. I'm hoping for a time when such dictator bills will be made void to be traded in for real American currency.
  6. It's my understanding that many popular expat destination countries (especially in Latin America) REQUIRE a rather easy to obtain specific foreigner ID card to function there as a longer term resident (for example to open a bank account). The yellow book isn't that. I've felt for many years that Thailand should have such a universal foreigner ID card but as usual, their country, their rules.
  7. Yeah. Jew haters have always been with us.
  8. Way overblown. It's for politics and if you were honest you would admit it. That said, it's been an EXTREMELY powerful POLITICAL issue for right wingers. So how many people? An estimated ONE HUNDRED people nationally! Not a thousand, not a ten thousand, not a hundred thousand. ONE hundred. In what totally INSANE version of reality is this any kind of major issue compared to cost of living, health care, war, education, and environment? Get a grip.

  9. This should have always been an issue for sporting authorities to decide up rather than a cynical political football of scapegoating of a hated minority group. Also to add, there is no contradiction at all in supporting civil rights for transgender people and also supporting clear and fair rules by sporting authorities in how to deal with the really TINY number of transgender athletes at high levels of competition that actually exist. Truly a mountain out of molehill.
  10. So sorry, I confused your name with another member's name. I will not name him.
  11. You've never seen bigger corruption before.
  12. Being made to pay in advance is fine as long as it's for ALL customers. There can be problems with buffets if you arrive late and/or they fail to refill the good stuff. But the normal reaction to any crap restaurant is just to not go back.
  13. I've never yelled that even one time in my life. However, if you're meeting new people and you're exploring a possible friendship it's basically lying if you let it go too long without being honest about who you are. Lying isn't a good basis for a friendship, is it? Perhaps you who is clearly straight don't understand that. Heterosexuality is always presumed except in cases of very visible/obvious gay people who are the minority of gay people. There is on experience I had with this that was particularly poignant that fills me with regret. A very very close childhood friend , often hung out at his house and was close to his entire family as well. For some reason I felt it would ruin things to come out to him. I even went to strip clubs with him, he was that kind of randy dude. So he was the very last early friend that I finally came out to, when I was well into my 20's. He instantly cut off contact with me even though I apologized for lying to him for so long and tried to contact him later. I felt he was justified to reject me just based on me LYING to him for so many years so I couldn't really blame him. On the other hand as he never said, maybe it was because I was gay and I was right to not come out to him for so long. I'll never know. I think he was the kind of straight guy who assumed I was attracted to him as well, which I totally NEVER was. So times as a kid where there clothes being changed, maybe he imagined homophobically that I had been perving on him. But as said wasn't into him that way, so no perving. In the context of the Philippines, I know for a fact male expats are going to ask about anyone's story with Filipinas VERY EARLY upon meeting. It's just a fact of life there.
  14. I don't know your experience in life but I recall meeting a neighbor in Jomtien who was at very first very friendly telling me about all of his adventures with Thai girls which was fine but to be real I had to tell him that isn't my scene, and for years after that he refused to even say hello to me. That was a very ugly feeling. I guess its time to mention the time I was moving to a new house in a new neighborhood to be greeted with graffiti on the wall saying F--S. Certainly no demand for that. It's not a matter of parades, rainbow flags, or nightlife but people not being bigots and not seeing gay people as fellow humans just because of being gay. It's of course fine, normal, and natural for people to like or not like you based on lots of personal factors, but to totally shut out people ONLY on the basis of their sexual orientation is really quite horrible. That is homophobia, and no, there is no demand for it. That's in your imagination.
  15. As I'm particularly interested in Iloilo City which is regarded as a rather wealthy provincial conservative city of more reserved people it was promising to see this. www.facebook.com/OfficeOfTheLGBTAffairsIloiloCity/ But that says nothing about the expat culture. Known at the City Of Love but obviously not that kind of love it's not remotely a draw for gay expats. Gay expats I assume would overwhelmingly be drawn to Manila, (especially), Cebu City, and Puerto Gallera,
  16. I recall you were enthusiastically supporting him during the election. Were you trolling at the time?
  17. As Trump often says, we'll see what happens.
  18. You're ignoring history, As soon as the state of Israel first existed, the entire Arab world went to war with Israel. Surprisingly, Israel won. Israel didn't want to be a militaristic state. They were forced to. No choice.
  19. I'm not sure the USA as a United entity will exist in 30 years. Russia even more so. So what else is new?
  20. I don't think the majority of those in power in Israel are super religious actually. Nationalist and Zionist, yes, of course.
  21. It's a problem for those who want to end Israel, that's for sure.
