I think of the four charges filed against the driver, only the last one, "failing to assist or report the incident leading to fatalities," will prove to be valid.

Musk is, IMO, a POS, and the USA, my home country, is not a democracy but a republic. But even without considering all that, how would speeding up the process of enabling an immigrant to become a citizen and then be eligible to vote be seen as "a threat to democracy"? The majority of the votes cast would still determine the winner of the elective office in each state. That's democracy, isn't it? Trump had shown himself as a "threat to democracy" when he tried to invalidate the democratically elected Electors from a couple of states by declaring their election was corrupt and asking for new, appointed Electors to be used instead.

"Two coach fire students in ICU, one may lose her eyesight" This is the headline of this article. I thought it meant two coaches fired students working in an ICU. The headline should have been Two coach-fire students are in ICU; one may lose her eyesight...

Lock him up! He published documents he knew were marked "Classified" by the US government, and he's pled guilty to that. Case closed!

Lots of things are required by law in Thailand but most ignore the rules, you are also required to wear a helmet, have working lights, don't drink and drive, use the left hand lane, indicate when turning or changing lanes, stop at stop at stop signs, drive on the left hand side of the road, do not speed, stop at the scean of an accident, don't carry a gun or big knife in public, your lucky if they even have a license, the list is pretty much endless. It summary ALL traffic laws are ignored, the fines are small, and the cops don't do their job. The question was whether or not cars were required to stop a zebra crossing. Just because I believe they are doesn't mean I'll risk my life by walking out onto the street in a zebra crossing and believing the cars will stop. If I am driving, I will stop. If I am a pedestrian, I will slowly start onto the zebra crossing while cautiously watching the oncoming traffic

"White Culture" in the USA, my home country, is just White Supremacy. It has never been completely wiped out, and, in my opinion, thanks to Trump, there has been a resurgence in the past ten years or so.

My understanding is cars are required to stop at a zebra crossing when it is being used by pedestrians.

Sounds like the Russian should be found liable for the assault.

Thailand's current laws seem to be sufficient to me. They just need to be enforced.

Lock 'em up! 😠

What in the world, or at least in Thailand, could have caused this????!!!! 😮

How about these? These are two photos of Ellen (now Elliot) Page, who starred in a very good 2007 movie, Juno, the story of a very young girl who got pregnant and her struggle with the decision on whether she should have an abortion or give birth to the baby. What gender is she/he?

What gender is the person in the photo below, and why did you assign them that gender? (And I assume this photo has not been Photoshopped)

And, I ask again, how do YOU determine what gender THEY are?

You keep misinterpreting the problem. It's not what gender YOU THINK this person is; it's what gender THEY IDENTIFY with.

How do you tell one from the other? If he actually identifies as a woman, what's the moustache about? If I got caught skulking around in a lady's restroom, claiming that I'm trans would be my go-to response. Might even buy me enough time to get away before any consequences. An an aside, do you have any data to support that factual claim? The only way you can tell what gender a person identifes with is to ask them. You can make a guess at that by their appearance. Both genders have facial hair. Some women have mustaches, but most of those remove them. I would never be "sulking around" in a lady's restroom. I might go in one to relieve myself if the men's restroom was closed, but I would do what I had to do quickly and leave ASAP. I didn't have any data to support my claim that 99.9% of rapes were done my straight males, but I did not look in up on the WWW, and found that 93.6% of sexual assaults were done by males, and hetrosexual men are responsible for the "majority" of sexual assults. So, my claim of 99.9% was an overstatement, but the data online, although not conclusive, would support maybe an 80% claim.

And how does someone determine, especially if you're just an observer, who is a man and who is a woman? As I'm sure you've read in other posts here, this division has not been the standard used "for centuries." In many countries, including the USA, in certain circumstances, no segregation has been enforced regarding the use of toilet facilities. Identity politics and "Wokeness" are features of modern society, and they will only grow in popularity as society becomes more educated and tolerant of those who do not conform exactly to our now binary definition of gender.

Or a dressing room at the department store ehh? And 99.9% of these rapes are done by "straight" males, not those who identify with a female gender.

Crap is good fertilizer. If you embrace "woke crap," it will help you grow.

So then, what would you say about: - clean-shaven men hanging around women's toilets? - bearded women hanging around women's toilets? - bearded men hanging around men's toilets? - clean-shaven men hanging around men's toilets? - bearded women hanging around men's toilets? - smooth-faced women hanging around men's toilets? Do we have to have a rule for every circumstance, or can we just accept everyone as they are?

No, it gives you a license to be a woman if that's the gender identity with which you feel most comfortable

I believe you can apply for a one-year extension on the day before your visa or current extension expires. I always go in about a week ahead of time, just in case there are some problems with my paperwork I have to revise.

I am a woke, "climbed-out-of-the-hole" individual. The gist of the forum is not what the cops will do if you use the "wrong" restroom; it's what those unwoke, "still-buried-in-the-hole" individuals think of those who claim a gender and use a restroom different from that which they think they should. I don't know what to say about your anxiety while in school, but I applaud your acceptance of the unisex toilets used in Japan. I've traveled all over the world, too, but now I live in Thailand, where, as you probably know, they do have male/female toilets. However, women, or people who appear to be women, clean the male toilets and probably the female ones, too.

This is just another "put all pit bulls down" post...
