This should not surprise anyone since Israel has been trying to drive out all Palestinians and annex their land for the past 70 years, ever since the UN divided Palestine up into areas for the Jews and the Palestinians.😡

Okay, all you Trump and MAGA supporters, does this sound familiar to you at all??? Isn't this like looking in a mirror? "Fascism is a political ideology and mass movement that emerged in the early 20th century, characterized by extreme nationalism, militarism, and authoritarianism. It dominated parts of Europe between 1919 and 1945, promoting the supremacy of the state over individual rights and often opposing ..., socialism, and communism. ... Fascism emphasizes a natural social hierarchy and the belief in the rule of elites, often leading to oppressive regimes. In contemporary discussions, fascism is often referenced in the context of rising authoritarianism and nationalism around the world." - Encyclopedia Britannica

No, of course I have a different opinion. The root cause of the problems we have in the USA right now is the far right, which is the home of White supremacy, xenophobia, fascism, capitalism, and a president who wants to be a king. 😞

I could go through your post above, one by one, and point out the specific flaws in your thinking, but that would be time-consuming and unnecessary. They all have the same flawed reasoning and excuse that Trump and MAGA use every time they commit atrocities like these, and that is that having contempt for those you oppose, showing strength is good, and rules don't matter. For me, a very far-left left-winger, showing contempt shows weakness; showing empathy (Woke) makes the entire society strong, which is much more desirable than any individual (king) or group (MAGA) being strong. And the fundamental quality that has made our country (USA) so successful (in the past) is following the rules set out in our Constitution and the legal processes that followed. Ignoring them is tantamount to sedition and treason. I will continue to voice my "left opinions" in the hope that at least just one other individual will begin to understand that there is a difference between being strong and being free.

The argument above lacks the very same rationale as the way ICE is treating people and, in fact, most everything Trump does. The rationale is made up. In the USA, no one trafficking in even a Class 1 (the worst) Drug or smuggling is subject to the death penalty. Also, the person would have to be accused, tried, and convicted before any sentence was given. And, even someone accused of mass murder (or being in the country illegally) has the right to a trial. And their boats are PRESUMMED to be carrying drugs. Now, I have little doubt that these boats were carrying drugs, but, IMO, before we (the USA) can "execute" these people by bombing their boat, the fact that they were trafficking in drugs would at least have to be proven beyond a doubt. And that is beyond the doubts of unbiased observers, like a jury is supposed to be, not just the CIA or the military. So, as in so many of Trump's actions, some ASSUMPTION is made (or made up) to justify some horrible actions.

Well, we can expect more forums on Falangs "falling" off their 10-story balcony in Pattaya... :(

MS Windows 11 Pro 2024H2 works fine for me! I'll definitely be sticking with it. I did see that Windows 11 Pro 2025H2 may have some of the problems mentioned above, but MS says they're working to fix them.

The title of this forum should be, "US Military Expands Lethal Strikes on ALLEGED Drug Boats in Pacific." 😞

My letter just had one page, a filled-out voter's registration. As I said above, I was unable to send it at my local post office. I copied it, created a .pdf from the image, and faxed it. That just cost $1 to do online with WISEFAX. It was delivered immediately, and I've received a response by email verifying that from the registration office.

Maybe they have too much testosterone. 🫤

Netanyahu is keeping and torturing a wounded cat locked up in a cage. He's just waiting for an opportunity to kill it and empty out the cage. 🥺

I disagree with you (politely)... 😉 All those living in the USA, whether they are citizens or not, and even if they are in the USA illegally, are protected by our Constitution, including the Second Amendment and the right to our legal processes.

Yes, a setup by a prostitute against one of her perverted clients...

Just another example of how our (USA's) government, under Trump, is just ignoring many of our rights, such as the right to free speech. 😞

As I've repeatedly said, Israel will not abide by the ceasefire agreement as soon as they get all the live hostages back. I predict they will claim Hamas has broken the agreement by not returning all the dead hostages, and have predicted that for several weeks now. 😞

Wow! It looks like Thailand has suspended all mail to the USA! I didn't know that. I was able to send my letter, which was to the local Elections Board at my USA address and about my voter's registration, by FAX using a nice online service called WISEFAX. The fax only cost me one dollar.

I stopped by my local post office in Wangchomphu (a small village near Phetchabun) to mail a letter to the USA, and was in for a big surprise! I didn't ask for anything special, like registered mail - just regular air mail. I hadn't mailed anything to the USA for a couple of years and just expected to go in, pay for a couple of stamps, and the letter would be sent. But that's not what happened... The clerk at the post office said the requirements for sending mail to the USA had changed and were very difficult. I spent 45 minutes giving her all kinds of information, like my email address and phone number, the phone number of the addressee, and after all that time, the clerk finally just said they couldn't send it! I'm going to try again this Friday at the post office in Phetchabun, a large city, and hopefully will have better luck. Has anyone else tried to mail a letter to the USA recently? If so, how did that go for you?

Luna is a lovely dog. I hope you find a home for her soon. I have a lot of dogs, but they all live outside, and I live up in the mountains in Phetchabun Province. Please keep us all up-to-date on your search for a home for Luna. 💔

I try to mention Palestine because people like you are so pro-Israel that the plight of the Palestinian people can be ignored. Like I said many times before, I am neither pro-Palestine nor pro-Israel. I think both are guilty of heinous crimes over the past 70 years, and one side should not be made to seem the victim and the other side the culprit.

Do you also have a list of or a link to the 60,000 Palestinians who have been killed in the past two years and the 1,950 Palestinian prisoners that are supposed to be released soon?

This is a non-ending war against the Palestinians and the Muslim existence in the areas called Israel and Palestine. I also don't expect this war will end soon. Gaza should be rebuilt, and Palestine should be recognized as a state with at least the same borders as the UN set in 1947.

Our problem (there are many, but this is one) is that you believe "expel" is an official administrative edict from the authorities of some place that requires the person to leave. I think "expel" can be used as a more general term for forcing someone to leave a place, like what Israel is doing to the residents of Gaza, and also some Palestinian residents of the West Bank. Also, I'm asking again: Are you able to post a link that is active on these forums? If so, how? And, I think we are both in agreement that very soon now, within hours, we are looking forward to Israel returning a large number of Palestinian prisoners.

I'm almost 80 and have a Krungsri account. I also have a Krungsri app on my phone. I used to have one on my PC, but it's just been closed down (for everyone). I've had the app for a long time, probably over 10 years. And, my Immigration Office in Phetchabun has NEVER mentioned that I need a bank app to extend my stay. I do need a full year's copy of my account showing I've deposited at least THB 65K every month, along with a letter from the bank manager stating I've been a customer for the year.
