  1. The most accurate sources of fact are CNN on TV and Wikipedia on the Internet.
  2. Yes! I let my garbage sit in cans for several months and then use it as fertilizer to grow new useful, or beautiful things.
  3. It's not from Lenin. It's from the Bible: Galatians 6:7-8 New International Version "7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life." Galatians 6:7-8 NIV - Do not be deceived: God cannot be - Bible Gateway Not that I put any faith in either Lenin or the Bible...
  4. I liked this photo, too, but isn't Trump in the wrong end of the truck?
  5. You're missing the point about the apostrophes, but I suspect that is either purposeful, your belief in lies, or an inability to understand the grammar. But, yes, I do think Trump and all his supporters are "garbage," wasted remnants of citizens who have been changed from free-thinking individuals to members of Trump's cult. I like Hillary's term best - "deplorable."
  6. Sharia law would solve many problems, but, IMO, would create many more.
  7. Yes, it's difficult, perhaps impossible, to note the difference between "supporter's'" and "supporters'" when hearing these words spoken. The point is his transcript, which he was reading, had "supporter's," a singular possessive, referring only to the comedian who made the "joke" about Puerto Rico being garbage. So, that's a failing of the scriptwriters, not Presiden Biden. And he's explained that since and apologized for the misunderstanding. Which, by the way, is a lot more than Trump has done about all the demeaning names he's called Harris and her supporters.
  8. No, I'm not Karine Jean-Pierre. I'm not as pretty as her, I'm a man, I'm White, and I'm 78 years old. The only things I think we have in common are we are both Democrats, good speakers (writing, in my case now), and very intelligent. But that's for noting our comparison.
  9. Harris was not the "border czar." That's just another lie Trump has told you, so, of course, you believe it. Harris was VICE PRESIDENT. She did not make the strategic decisions concerning anything. Her duty to the president was to inform him, carry out his tactical solutions, and, of course, be there to fill in for him if he became unable to continue to serve.

  11. What the hell is anyone doing out of their house, much less out on the streets in Pattaya, at 4:30 a.m.? That's just completely crazy!
  12. What a dog! All of use should celebrate the heroic actions of this American bulldog! They are precious animals and should be o the top of everyone's prospective pet list.
  13. I'm a far-left liberal and have already voted for Harris, but I take exception to the title of this article. Harrist is not "strategically" distancing herself from Biden; she's "tactically" distancing herself from him. As vice president, she was expected to support all of Biden's strategic goals. And if she gets elected as president, she still will, but her tactics to achieve those strategic goals will probably differ.
  14. An exchange of hostages between China and Thailand? What type of prisoners is Thailand sending China in return?
  15. Not that it will make any difference now, but the actual quote was, "The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter's,” Please note the apostrophe between the last word and the final s. That means he was only referring to one supporter, the one who made the original remark. Just FYI for anyone who is acquainted enough with grammar rules and what Biden's intent was in saying this.
  16. I am a Harris supporter, I've already voted, and illegal immigration is not a big deal for me. Having said all that, I'll just note that these are just estimates and not based on any actual counts. And, most of all, during this period, Harris was VICE President, not President, so although she could be assumed to have backed Biden's strategic approach to issues, she should not be judged on Biden's tactical approach to any particular issue.
  17. Here is Wikipedia's definition of fascism. After reading it, tell me just what aspect of it does not absolutely directly apply to Trump... "Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy. Opposed to anarchism, democracy, pluralism, egalitarianism, liberalism, socialism, and Marxism, fascism is placed on the far right-wing within the traditional left–right spectrum." Fascism - Wikipedia
  18. I moved to Thailand 21 years ago and have been married to a Thai woman for 20 years. I don't consider my life "ruined." I am very happy with both my marriage and the other aspects of my life here.
  19. Well, the Jews believe in a delusional god, so I wouldn't say their IQs are exceptionally high. I'd guess their IQs are average, like all other peoples.
  20. Oh, I thought this article was about the elections in the US state of Georgia. I'd suggest that the AseanNow Forum save this headline so they can use it later. I'm sure, win or lose, the Republicans will claim voter fraud.
  21. I agree with RFK, Jr. that nuclear war is a looming threat, but I don't agree that the threat would be worse with Harris as our president than Trump.
  22. I am about as anti-Trump as anyone can be, and I wish the Washington Post and all newspapers would endorse Kamala Harris. Though it is despicable to me, I don't believe it is illegal for a newspaper owner to "make a deal" with a politician regarding endorsements (or non-endorsements). It's then up to the newspaper's readers to decide how they will deal with that. I understand that thousands of subscribers have canceled their subscriptions to the newspaper.
  23. My general reply to this is simple. Don't absolutely believe anything you see or read on the Internet, even on sites like AseanNow. Treat all this information the same way you'd treat a lively conversation between your friends and strangers sitting in a bar and drinking beer. Listen to their stories, tell some of your own, and enjoy them - but NEVER NEVER NEVER place an absolute belief on any of them that that is true. All this is just entertaining conversation.
  24. Totalitarianism (autocracy) should be on the far right. Democracy should be on the far left.
