Agent to do all the paper work selling a motorbike
StandardIssue replied to banglay's topic in Pattaya
Yes, correct. But, the green book needs to be changed and me personally, I want to KNOW it has been changed to the buyers name. The buyer SHOULD do the name change but I wouldn't advise just handing over the green book to the buyer signed and leave it at that. Why? You might ask. Because the buyer could very well choose to NOT change ownership in his name and drive the motorbike around with YOUR NAME still in the green book and registration. If there are problems while he's riding then in certain circumstances the owner may be liable. (Even if you have signed it) I would not trust the buyer to do all the paper work. I always go with the buyer to the agent and make sure they do the business in front of me, I get copies of the bill of sale etc. I would make the buyer pay the agents fee. Remember TIT, make sure you dot your eyes and cross your tee's. Don't leave loose ends. Punters get in trouble all the time for not covering their Azz -
How to tell if you're dealing with a MAGA folk?

Sigh, I guess you don't understand. Please re-read my post. I am fairly certain you've never posted a video on Youtube let alone used the easy to use free video editing software that most grade school kids know how to use these days. Sorry you don't get it. -

Interesting stats on this post. Probably the most popular and perhaps the most controversial and divisive I've made. I'm not necessarily proud of it. Meant to poke a little fun and bring some comedy relief, but alas, some took it pretty hard. Anyways, seems more people enjoyed it that hated it. Enjoyed: 37 Thumbs down: 27 -

Depends on where you get your insurance. Travel insurance in USA never asks about medication BUT it will not cover pre-exisiting conditions. -
How to tell if you're dealing with a MAGA folk?

Hmm, the original OP bullet points shown below. Some MAGA / Trump supporters here can't break the stereotype. You guys get your information from Youtube videos? Really? Don't you know this is the WORST possible place to get reliable information! The "Research": They refer to "my own research" but it consists entirely of YouTube videos watched at 3 AM and forwarded Facebook memes. If you want any credibility at all don't post highly edited and fabricated Youtube videos as your "source". Please, don't you get it? This is what my OP is all about! Youtube and Facebook are not meant to give you reliable information. They show you want you want to see (in the suggested videos right hand pane) to keep you viewing!! -

Reagan's campaign had a very similar slogan The phrase, in the form of "Let's Make America Great Again," was famously used by Ronald Reagan during his 1980 presidential campaign. -

I don't usually like meme's but this is one is great. It is more of a political cartoon meme and is a great example of the kind of thing Noam Chomsky talks about. The elite rich pitting the general population against one another. If you divide a nation and keep them fighting with one another they won't be focused on the maneuvers of the elite. The elite are safe from being the focus of attention and can go about their business of attaining more wealth and power. (deregulation, tax legislation etc). In this time of history the divivion of the uber wealth and the lower classes is widening. In simpler terms. The top 1% have more wealth than the entire 99% of the US population. 3.5 million people have the same wealth as 350 million of the rest of us. The wealth and control of the ultra rich is immense. Disunity of the population is the friend of the elite ultra-rich. We all should stop quibbling and take a hard look at what the ultra rich and elite are doing instead of fighting over the childish issues they want us to. Many of the ultra rich and elite are the enemy! Some are not ( philanthropists like Bill Gates) but many are quite evil in their quest for power. -

Agent to do all the paper work selling a motorbike
StandardIssue replied to banglay's topic in Pattaya
Many small agents, even the Honda dealership on Thepraset Rd will do the green book transfer. They will go to the transportation office for you and hand in the paper work. Best to bring your customer with you at the time you hand the agent the greenbook. Some bill of sale get's filled out etc. You will have to get a residency certificate from immigration, as far as I know this is still mandatory and I don't think the agent does that for you. -
BTW, there is a big difference between a self made millionaire and the "elites' that Chomsky refers too. Elites are in the triple digit Millionaire and Billionaire class these days. I'm a self made millionaire. That really isn't saying much these days. Self made millionaires are NOT the elites he is referring to. He's talking about REAL money 100's of Millions of dollars etc. They have power to influence legislation, media, legal proceedings, hire expensive lawyers, buy political influence and on and one. I, a self made millionaire cannot do these things. I don't have REAL money in today's terms.

Just quite unbelievable. These guys just can't break the stereotype. I've created a monster. Actually I have mixed emotions now about writing this thread in the first place because there have been quite a few small cat fights which I didn't anticipate. Really just a poke at the irony of the MAGA supporters .. hoping for some comic relief but these guys just can't break stride. It's sad really. The latest flurry of MAGA meme's is another one. One after another they post their remedial elementary school simple Facebook meme's. Falling right into line with the stereotype. Didn't they even read the OP? -
You've already lost credibility with me. You write fairly inteligently but not being able to answer why you call him a con artist just tells me you are making some kind of unfounded judgement against a very very famous and noted Professor from one of the most prestigious universities in the world. MIT You've either not read what I've written or just don't understand it. You choose to focus in on this one "masters of mankind" term and then make a conclusion that he's fear mongering. All you've done is convince me you don't really comprehend the body of his work or many his very well established concepts and their relation to the latest trends in society (for instance the separation of the classes). Sorry friend, do yourself a favor, study the work. Don't just focus on one meme you found to support what you would like to be true about Chomsky.

Explain to me who win's here? This doesn't make sense at all. This is such a lunk head simple minded meme, I just can't believe anyone takes this sh!t seriously. Man, it's depressing. Just a BS meme to give a warm and fuzzy feeling to simple people who think "winning" is some function of Government. What a crock. Propaganda for the uneducated. It just doesn't make sense at all, except to people who don't understand what Governments function in society is. MAGA will have you thinking that "winning" is about crushing half the population and extinguishing the so called "libtards", remember the OP The "Research": They refer to "my own research" but it consists entirely of YouTube videos watched at 3 AM and forwarded Facebook memes. -

Wow, the flurry of MAGA Facebook meme's is making my head spin. Bullet point again. Did we forget the OP? The "Research": They refer to "my own research" but it consists entirely of YouTube videos watched at 3 AM and forwarded Facebook memes. Hey guys. Don't you know that Facebook, and Youtube are not meant to give you unbiased and reliable information. They mean to show you posts that keep you and show you ads! So if you are a MAGA guy they are gonna show you all kind of stuff they think will keep you viewing. They can do this because they keep track of what you click and what you view. So your news feed will be filled with all this right-wing, MAGA Biden bashing BS! In other words a whole lot of BS and propaganda is directed at you to keep you viewing for advertising. It is not meant to inform you! All these meme's and videos are directed at you to keep you viewing. Get it? They will feed you anything to keep you on the hook! Because of this, if you are leaning one direction and look for things that support what you think is true, you'll have no trouble finding those things. Especially on social media and Youtube. Again, because those sites are meant to show you advertising, NOT supply people with reliable news and information. On social media. You are NOT the customer. You are the product that advertisers buy. Get it? Do you not know this? Pretty sad really. Do not rely on social media for your research! Including this forum. Better to use AI in conjunction with more reputable news organizations. Use more than one. Relying on one source these days will not give you reliable information. In order to find out half of what is really going on one needs to really do research. Not get up in the morning and get on the ole' Facebook. -
You're writing Hyperbole. Have you watched the entire documentary? Or did you just Google around to find some people who are bashing Chomsky and then post this meme pic? How is Chomsky a con artist? Who is he trying to con and for what? Do you know what a Maxim is? If you did you would see the preceding phrase in a much different light.

What's sad is most MAGA folks don't recongize MAGA is the propaganda front for GOP and their upper crust elites and uber rich to grab more money, power and control. Meanwhile Fox News is doing there magical crazy spin on all this (or just down right directing attention away) from the rip-off job being put over on the middle and lower classes of the USA. Destroy Education (don't like educated folks because they think for themselves and resist power grabs) Keep them divided - Fox News and right-wing media making liberals (who are in favor of equity to all people) into demons and telling everyone to not listen (because of course this doesn't match GOP agenda of making the uber rich richer) I could go on but one of the greatest intellectuals around, Noam Chomsky, is well recognized as spelling out all this right-wing political behavior and it's very detrimental effects on the lower and middle classes.

Ok, so what? We are talking about gun ownership here. What the F are you are telling me? I should watch the right news network to understand how important it is to conceal carry a firearm when I venture out to the market? Dude, I've never carried a gun and don't need one because I've carefully chosen where to live and who I associate with. I maintain that those who feel they need to conceal carry a gun have 1) chosen a bad place live 2) choose bad places to visit 3) chosen a dangerous profession ( professional law enforcement or dangerous law enforcement) -

So, let me see if I understand you here . You rely on the media presumably FuX News and New Max to tell you how safe it is in your neighborhood or places you plan to visit? What, are they doing daily reviews of all destinations in the USA? Does Fux news have a daily crime report for every city and town in the USA? Fux News Flash:!!!! Better not go to Cincinnati today unless you got your Glock concealed with you hahaha!! Right Wing media has got you scared and afraid hook line and sphincter. They got you just where they want you, scared and consuming. LOL, you've got to be kidding. Chicken little the sky is falling!! -

Where did you ever run into a "loon" you had to shoot? Why were you in a place where there are "loons" running around everywhere? What a joke, you are kidding now right? I'll tell you, most of us have many many choices. Did you decide to get an apartment in Compton, CA or East Palo Alto? If you did then I could see why you might think you need a gun. But those places are the last places to live on the lists of most people. -

Anybody who feels they need to carry a firearm has made some damn stupid choices. 1) Why would anybody choose to live in a place where they think they'd need to carry a gun? 2) Why would anybody choose to go someplace where they think they would need to carry a gun? Most decent cities are not ferkin' war zones. These concealed carry types seem like they are out there lookin' to for a fight and lookin' to use their guns. That is what is really messed up. Don't get me started. Gun's should be outlawed in the USA period same as Britain, Japan and most of the rest of the civilized world. Firearm ownership and concealed carry is not for the strong and smart. It is for scared folks who have made damn foolish choices about where to live and where to visit. How anybody could miss this simple point is beyond me. -

I think some of us would rather the MAGA-ites keep wearing their clown cap so we know who to avoid. That scene from Inglorious Bastards comes to mind. After the war what are you gonna do with that uniform you a wearing? .. I thought so, we don't like that. And then lieutenant Aldo makes him mark!
