  1. It doesn't matter. To Planet Pallywood, it will always be Israel's fault and facts have nothing to do with it.
  2. B.S. They are bombing Hamas targets. Hamas uses human shields. It is not Israel's fault that Hamas cares nothing about their own people.
  3. I completely disagree. Many or most of the people surviving on the road in such conditions have more grit in their pinky than your more fortunate typical American couch potato.
  4. Compared the recent Hamas led pogrom, very.
  5. Easy for people like you who are obsessed with demonizing Israel and failing to see the great things about Israel compared to any other country in that region.
  6. Total fail. No unequivocal condemnation of the Hamas pogrom. Instead the typical Israel demonizing BUT BUT BUT ...
  7. If the "devil they know" is <deleted>ting in a bucket with no roof over their head, many would be well served to seek an escape hatch which with even basic income is available in a number of coutries.
  8. My take is that opinion piece reflects not really caring about the conflict, but is caring about the Thai hostages. If the Thai hostages had already been released by the Hamas terrorist scum, would that item have even been published? Nothing unusual or particularly horrible about self interest, but there it is.
  9. The Trump -publican hope is to turn traditionally more left democratic party demographics towards their side. It's working fairly well with Latinos, somewhat well with blacks, but it won't work with Jews even though it gets harder and harder for Jews to feel welcome on the left. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/opinion-american-jews-won-t-abandon-the-left-will-it-abandon-us/ar-AA1iHHO3
  10. That's interesting. I've been there on long visits but haven't lived there as an expat, so I don't know. Their residence offer is massively better than Thailand's though, but you need a relatively large income or savings bucket to get into the system.
  11. Yep. The rent is too damn high there on steroids now. Inflation may be waning now, but it's not as if prices are going down except in super inflated areas that almost nobody care afford anyway.
  12. Who cares what the Thais think? Except for immigration officers, of course.
  13. That's hilarious! So you think the other party wants to help those things? They want to cut everything except crusades against drag queens. Back to the topic, of course life abroad is not always better. But if you've only got a budget of for example 300 dollars for rent in the U.S. and such prices don't exist in the U.S., then life abroad where you can get a decent place for that, is going to better for those than can manage the move.
  14. Who needs that? That's what the Mexican women are saying about the likes of you.
  15. Don't be so literal. Using the word stupid was a way to get the juices flowing to stimulate a lively conversation on the topic.
  16. That sounds like an old story because typically now people that do such a thing could never afford to live back in a place like Seattle once they sold.
  17. I find your post weird. It's parroting the false myth that you need to be richer than average to retire abroad. Being rich is always good anywhere, but the overwhelmingly primary motivator for retirement abroad for most people that retire abroad is economics. Obviously you need some money to get started and have an emergency buffer and obviously not everyone has that. But you need some money to fit out a vehicle to live in as well.
  18. There have been a few complaints about using the word stupid. Everyone is stupid in some ways. The word clearly helped stimulate the discussion here.
  19. This is bull. Dirt cheap rent in the US isn't even close to cheap enough. A typical Medicare recepiant pays more than 150k in lifetime out of pocket costs. Laos is a rare choice. There are many other options.
  20. I claimed at 62. Time will tell of the wisdom or folly of that.
