  1. This happened rather quickly. The previous existing lovely massive chunk of trees/green space off Tappraya Road (near Tepprasit) Jomtien across from the airport bus station has been completely leveled! While obviously an environmental tragedy there is no turning back now. So something or lots of things will be built on that now cleared land, yeah? But what exactly?!? I've searched online and am getting a lot of rumors and theories, with very few clues as to the reality. Also a lot of jokes. If you wish, you may want to post your own theories and jokes, but what would really be useful is to hear from are from people that have some kind of inside info track about this.
  2. Trump is without a doubt the most corrupt president in American history. It isn't even close.
  3. I could probably come up with more than a hundred points of evidence to back up my judgement that Trump is indeed an evil man. It seems to me that there is a separation though between his policy actions as president and his personal behavior as a man now and throughout his life. Of course no man is 100 percent evil or 100 percent good. There are some good things in policy actions and in personal life that evil leaders do. This comes down again to moral judgement. When I thought of doing this topic, the first thing that came to mind was a policy action that I do consider to be clearly very evil. That was the cutting of USAID. Trump did that. Donald J. Trump. Totally evil. www.newsroom.ucla.edu/stories/USAID-cuts-global-impact-14-million-deaths USAID cuts may lead to more than 14 million deaths globally, including 4.5 million children under 5 by 2030, researchers say | UCLA www.propublica.org/article/usaid-cholera-deaths-trump-humanitarian-aid-cuts-south-sudan Trump Officials Celebrated With Cake After Slashing Aid. Then People Died of Cholera. — ProPublica
  4. He's in the wrong party. The Trump - Republican party is a white nationalist party.
  5. Please stick to the subject of THIS topic. Do you think Trump's former lawyer Ty Cobb who has said explicitly that Trump is evil and he obviously knows him very well personally is a LEFTIST?!? This moral judgment has nothing to do with right vs. left. Many of Trump's harshest critics are traditional conservative REPUBLICANS.
  6. You can find countless sources arguing that Trump is indeed evil. Here is one to what your whistle. As stated this is a MORAL judgement either way, so in keeping with that theme, this is from a Christian religious source. The Inexpressible Evil of Trump 2.0 – ProgressiveChristianity progressivechristianity.org/resource/the-inexpressible-evil-of-trump-2-0/ A former Trump attorney Ty Cobb has explicitly called him evil. Feel welcome to post any rebuttal sources asserting that Trump is NOT evil if that's what you think. Again, welcome to the Is Trump Evil Experience. Kindly enjoy your time here.
  7. This is obviously a question of moral judgement. There have been many leaders throughout history that many or most people have judged as being evil. Yes even in the most extreme cases, there are always admirers remaining. But this isn't about historical world leaders. This is about Trump. Please record your judgement in the poll, and comment about it if you so choose.
  8. Tooth restoration simply means a choice of fillings, crowns, bridges, and implants. I've done two root canals plus crowns with this dentist, many fillings, and now my first implant. For the implant he could do a bridge but suggested the implant as better for long term and lower maintenance.
  9. He doesn't think any filling will last long there.
  10. Exactly. The cruel double standard hypocrisy is epic.
  11. A shining thingie RELATIVE to what Trump has done to it. Of course the USA has never been any kind of paradise but what Trimp is doing to the country is a sick kind of national suicide. Let's smash everything that was good about the country ON PURPOSE. What fun!
  12. I wouldn't be surprised. What else do you want to dictate to poor people?
  13. Popcorn if just the kernels to pop is not junk food. I don't like demonizing people needing food assistance. I thought right wingers were for freedom and smaller government. Now you want to dictate like Big Brother Karens to people what they're allowed to eat? Make up your minds. Of course I would hope everyone on assistance or not makes healthier food choices. But this policy just sounds mean and another way to trash poor people.
  14. Maybe not technically a stranger but close enough. When my condo electricity was cut without warning (some kind of weird automatic bank paying glitch) a staff person told me, sorry we don't deal with that, it's your account. It was about a small amount like 50 baht that failed to get paid automatically months before. She was right but then her heart softened and she spent 20 minutes on the phone to the power company, helping me get the app setup on my phone (well I could have done that myself but the situation was more complicated than just doing that), determined what exactly needed to be paid right now to get my power back on, and then within a few hours, it was. Even before the power was turned back on, I tipped her 200 baht. But she did it without any expectation of payment.
  15. The damage he has already done will last generations and the USA and how it's regarded abroad will never be the same. Trump has taken us down from shining city on a hill to mountain of stinking oligarch caca. Any American who still supports him deserves no respect.
  16. Forget all that. If it's smoky season in Chiang Mai, go to Pattaya. If not, go to Chiang Mai. Transport is definitely better in Pattaya though.
  17. Well the sign has been changed already but the name change is 100 percent ILLEGAL. A very funny detail is the Kennedy center is a MEMORIAL and now it's also a MEMORIAL to the still alive Trump. Does he even know what the word MEMORIAL means?!?
  18. Very doubtful but you totally missed the point. Trump's perverted anti-American democracy idea of what the American presidency is supposed to be about is that it is should be a one man rule monarchal dictatorship. He's more Saddam Hussein than Abraham Lincoln. Yeah I get it. A minority of Americans are thirsty for what he's offering -- but their numbers are shrinking as he's failing miserably (emperor has no clothes time).
  19. Give him that and he just regroups for later.
  20. On paper this isn't a show that I would have predicted as working for me, but it goes to show, you never know.
  21. The Rehearsal Season 2. I suggested Season 1 here before. So I watched episode 1 of Season 2 and I felt rather bored so decided not to continue with it. Then I read a review of it on a best tv of the year list that said that the way it develops will totally blow your mind. So I guess I won't be able to resist that. It is a show by Nathan Fielder. If you don't know him and you want a more straightforward reality parody show type experience, I higher suggest his older series Nathan for You. I will also fulfill your Canadian content quota.
