  1. You'll to have to do better than that. Which friends, which shares? How much, when did they sell and when did they buy back? You're also assuming it was his plan all along when the media is casting it all as a panic, knee jerk response. Facebook...
  2. Shouldn't that be "gearing down for landing"? 😉
  3. OMG! It looks like they set themselves on FIRE!!!!! 😱
  4. Yes, I heard about this more than a week ago. Trump's billionaire friends sold their stock before the tariffs were put in place, and then bought them back when the stocks were down. Now, the stocks are up, and they've made a big profit. That's what Trump's all about.
  5. Its strange then that the Israeli Jews gave Palestinians Muslims full equal citizenship with Israeli passports , then isn't it . It's also strange to me that Israeli Jews are not persecuting and taking homes away from the Palestinian Muslim "full citizens" in the West Bank, and that over the past 70 years, Israel has taken (by force) much of the land in Palestine that was not given to it by the UN.
  6. Nope, those days have gone . The days of talking and negotiating have gone . Palestinians need to be expelled for the land . That is the only way to have peace in the future . Sounds like genocide to me, which is precisely what the Jews have wanted to do to the Palestinian Muslims for over 70 years... 😞
  7. The hostages are the only "bargaining chips" the Palestinians have. I expect they will not ALL be released until: - Israel agrees to a permanent ceasefire and withdrawal of troops; - Israel agrees to quit harassing. killing Palestinians and stealing their property in the West Bank; - Israel agrees to begin talks on a two-state solution.
  8. I'm very surprised by this article for two reasons. 1. That Western media is reporting on this, and; 2. ASEANForums is allowing it to be posted here.
  9. I use Yolla... Cheap International Calls with Yolla Calling App
  10. What about citizens who are pretending to be pedophiles online to lure children who are susceptible to these types of online offers to a site where the children can be identified to their parents, so they can be taught not to do that?
  11. I renewed my US passport online, but I ultimately had to send my current passport by mail to the US Embassy in Bangkok. There, they voided it and sent it back to me with a new passport.
  12. I only hope this is true, but for Trump to really have a "downfall," many US citizens will have to give up their support of him, and that will be hard for them to do. To do that would mean they would have to admit, at least to themselves, that they were wrong about him. That's going to be a real challenge for them. And then there are some who actually have the same values. They won't quit supporting him. But, I do hope he and his supporters do have a complete "downfall, " and that happens very, very soon.
  13. I've lived in Thailand for over 20 years, and have a Non-Imm Visa Type O. I extend my one-year stay using Retirment qualifications. I've answered your questions below: 1. Yes, for initial stay extension. 2. Yes, every year. 3. No, you only have to have the THB 800 K in your account for 2 months before and 3 months after you apply for the one-year extension. Your account cannot dip below THB 400 K. 4. Yes, and you have to turn in that map every year, but they only visit you the first time unless you move. 5. I've never been asked to leave my passport at Immigration and would not want to, but if that's what they've told you to do, I'd go ahead and do it. First, take photos of your passport and all the important pages.
  14. I am "extreme left wing," but not a misogynist. I called this fencer she and her because that is how she would want to be referred to, and that is the gender this fencing tournament allowed her to compete in. I don't know their rules or whether they apply any physical, hormonal, or DNA tests, but whatever the case, they allowed her to compete as a woman. I used the quote marks in my comment above in deference to those on these forums who don't accept transsexuals and her participating as a woman in sports. I didn't use quotes in this comment since deference is not applicable to anyone who calls me names and insults me.
  15. Arrest her, make her pay for all the damages, put her in jail for at least 30 days, and then deport her.
  16. Yes, arrest them and deport them.
  17. I assume "taking a knee" is a valid sign of yielding a match in fencing, like tapping on your opponent in wrestling or staying down or your knee in boxing. If so, I don't think this woman should have been "disqualified" from the entire tournament, but only given a loss in this one match. As far as her transgender opponent is concerned, if "she" was qualified under the tournament rules, then that is all that matters, not the opinions of "her" opponents.
  18. I don't favor him now; I never have and never will. And, yes, it does seem that in certain polls, the majority, or at least a large plurality, of US citizens polled support him. That, however, does not change my opinion. I'd rather be in the minority than support Trump and his government administration.
  19. We'd be a lot better off to quit trying to go into space and concentrate our efforts and resources on ceasing to destroy the planet we live on. 😞
  20. ...or, we could just Tear Down the Wall!!!!! 😄
  21. And, Thailand is not "Hit with 36% Tax." Tariffs are paid by the country imposing them, so actually, "US Citizens Are Hit with a 36% Tax" for items they import from Thailand.
