  1. You're not a U.S. expat.
  2. You have no idea what the prices will be on those items in the U.S. OR Thailand.
  3. Your reply had nothing to do with what I wrote but it did give you a chance for you to regurgigate a typical Israel demonization narrative.
  4. Again, you are objectively totally wrong. Be a rebel and make up your own definitions of words. Then you can have fascinating conversations with yourself.
  5. You are free to say that a cat means cats and dogs till the cows come home but you would be wrong. Definitions of words are definitions even if you think the definitions don't make sense. You are free to lobby the dictionary publishers. But it won't work because your proposed definition of antisemitism is idiotic. It would make it into a useless word. Not sure what agenda you have that you are so passionate about this. My experience is that it comes from people who want to deny antisemitism is widespread or serious, There are already ways to describe hatred of Arabs, hatred of Muslims, etc.
  6. Ridiculous. Idiocy like you're promoting is the reason why people are saying anti Jewish hate etc. instead of antisemitism. But again you're just wrong.
  7. NO!!!!! You get your own opinions. You don't get your own definitions. anti-Semitism noun hate towards or unfair treatment of Jewish people anti-semitism noun - Definition, pictures, pronunciation and usage notes | Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary at OxfordLearnersDictionaries.com
  8. The UN created two states last time! The Jews agreed. The Arabs attacked. This time as you say NEITHER side wants that. I agree in theory two states is the only answer, but how to ever get there is another matter and at this point in time, it seems further away than ever. So reasonable people all over the world are still saying two states instead of River to the Sea BS but they may as well say puppies are cute for the effect that has.
  9. Antisemitism refers to Jews only. But you knew that already.
  10. Never mind the persecution of Jews for thousands of years BEFORE the idea of Zionism even existed.
  11. It's relevant to that moronic graphic saying there has been record inflation under Biden.
  12. No. I just know stuff that you obviously don't. Think Inflation Is Bad Now? Let's Take A Step Back To The 1970s : NPR
  13. I guess it depends. American Chinese food originated from regional Chinese food from one area and then Americanized. (Sweeter, more dishes with many main ingredients instead of one or two, more gloppy sauces.) So a lot had to do with Chinese immigration patterns. It's my impression that Indian food in the U.S. is pretty darned authentic. Well that's what actual Indians there have told me. One particular place that I used to go (the best Indian lunch buffet I've ever had, dishes change daily) was so good that Indians told me they dreamed about even when they were back in India.
  14. It really is total and complete BS . Especially the record inflation part.
  15. I guess to Trumpists FDR was "war mongering" when he prevailed over the Hitler Loving "America First" isolationists of the time. I don't believe that even you believe that Biden rules over a fascist dictatorship so I'll just file that part as a dumb troll game.
  16. It's ridiculous to think his second term would be like his first.
  17. Why an non American westerner is so enthusiastic about the USA turning into an isolationist fascist dictatorship is somewhat mysterious. I get why Putin wants that though.
  18. Good point. I eat Chinese food here more often than Thai. Agree about Asian food. Must have it. A big downside of living on Latin America.
  19. It's cooked Thai style in Thailand so it is Thai food.
  20. Islamophobia just as homophobia even though it's intuitive to think its only about fear because of the phobia part in actually is about BOTH fear and hatred. Look up the definitions and you will see. As far as Islam. well people that follow Islam are Muslims, and like all kinds of people they are NOT a monolith. So it's impossible to say all Muslims this, all Muslims that. So people should not hate Muslim people just because they are Muslims. You may learn stuff about individual Muslim people that logically makes them hateful in your eyes, but if so, it should be about that, not just that they are Muslim people. A personal note. I'm not proud to say this but I've had a few experiences in life of short term relationships with Muslim people. They were openly Muslim and hearing about that part of their lives was interesting to me. One (Malaysian) was even a Hajj tour leader! Also a Thai Muslim who complained to me that f-rangs discriminated against him. However, I intentionally did not tell them I was a Jew because I was afraid they would hate me for that and I wanted them to see me as me without adding that complication. I didn't give them a chance to prove otherwise. They just assumed I was a non religious Christian, a fair guess. Obviously that would have had to come up in longer relationship.
  21. Suppose they did. Is that an excuse to be RACIST against them? You did this again. You are coming across as advocating a perverted POV that it's OK to hate Jews just for being Jews if their political position varies from yours. DISGUSTING. Also of course don't be so STUPID. Jews are not a monolith anywhere. Of course there is a range of political views among UK Jews just as Jews anywhere, including of course Israel.
  22. It depends. I guess on average two or three times a week. I do think tourists are cheating themselves if they don't mostly eat Thai food unless they hate it but expats should just eat whatever pleases them just as they would in their home country. Had some very nice Thai food yesterday. Hor Mok Talay, fried garlic chicken wings, pak boong fai deng, and of course rice.
