  1. Wait for the laws to happen but it's logical to assume that if they reclassify weed as a narcotic that non medical "recreational" users will be arrested as before.
  2. I question the wisdom of making legislative policy based on opinion polling but there is nothing wrong with looking at it. Ideally leaders lead their public with more enlightened policy. But nobody is saying Thailand or anywhere is an ideal world. The polling if true indicates that Thai public opinion is rather backwards compared to many nations on cannabis policy. So I suppose it means when they go ahead with whatever going backwards change that's going to happen such as reclassifying cannabis as a narcotic, they will have political cover.
  3. Your post makes no sense to me. They weren't too busy in Moscow.
  4. No. There are pride events all over the world. There have been right wing violent attacks on them in the U.S. and Europe. This is about Islamist terrorist threats to them. I believe the threat is real.
  5. If Trump pushes this I suggest that Biden agrees but also demands a thorough psychiatric examination. Trump could never agree to that for obvious reasons The man is insane.
  6. What visa? What work? Yeah Thailand is cheaper if you're making more money than the average Thai. Otherwise, not so much. At least they didn't move to Russia.
  7. It's common sense that Hamas can't be defeated without troops on the ground (duh), but the bigger question is whether Hamas can be defeated at all.
  8. Considering that the U.S. got their prediction of a terrorist attack in Moscow at a concert proved to be correct even though Putin didn't listen, suggests people should listen. This is such a wide warning though geographically.
  9. How about the people that don't like it, just don't use it? Like tobacco and alchohol. Sorted.
  10. Begging for votes? It's called campaigning. Yes he has lots to offer. Yes Trump is a very bad man. He's a fascist and an ally of Putin. Next ...
  11. So you're saying no slot machines, free drinks, or world class entertainment.
  12. Las Vegas?
  13. It causes paranoia in some people. If so, then stop. It's not physically addictive after all You can't die of a THC overdose. Like anything else, how about treating people as flippin' adults?!?
  14. That's too bad because if Trump doesn't weasel out with insane demands, then Joe shows.
  15. What's Las Vegas about it? Lots of hookers?
  16. Personally I think it's premature to get into speculation about what the debates will be like as Trump is backtracking on agreeing to them. Don't assume they will ever happen at all.
  17. So the Israelis are holding innocent toddlers and elderly Arab holocaust survivors?
  18. I'm more hawkish than you influenced by reality. Neither side wants a two state solution. October 7 terrorists went after the most PEACENIK segments of the Israeli public. Trust in Palestinians has been killed completely for generations. Yes it was already bad but now it is totally gone. Israel cannot and will not agree to a two state solution. They will correctly see that as a way for the Arab side to consolidate their military for their real and clear goal -- totally wiping out Israel. No other sovereign state would voluntary agree to designing their own national suicide. Why does much of the world expect the one tiny Jewish nation to do what they would never do?
  19. To Palestinians, that's all of Israel, so nice try, no cigar. I agree two states can't work but neither can one state as you've described.
  20. Based on my family history I have strong reasons to hate Ukraine. But that was then. This is now. MUGA MUGA MUGA!
  21. For anyone else interested in US urban places (from entire big cities to specific neighborhoods in car dependent cities, etc.) I highly recommend CityNerd. CityNerd - YouTube
