  1. Is the United States the country that has killed the most people in history? The US has likely killed 40-50 million, likely on the lower end, in it’s entire 245 year History, as Explained here, which Translates to 160-200k a year! How many people has America has killed in all wars in different countries? Iraq- from 100,000 to 1 million deaths, depending on which estimate you go by. Afghanistan-very difficult to say. The Pentagon refuses to count civilian deaths anymore. Gulf War- most estimates around 50,000 deaths. Central America- US supported dictatorships and the terrorist Contras killed over 300,000 in the 1980s. 200,000 of that was in Guatemala, an outright genocide vs Mayan Indians that Reagan backed with weapons, money, and training. In El Salvador, the US also bombed the nation from US bases in the Panama Canal Zone. So US responsibility for these atrocities is shared with the dictatorships. Vietnam- at least 1 million, some estimates double that. This includes by chemical warfare, Agent Orange and napalm, and also with mass torture, the Phoenix Program that killed at least 20,000. Cambodia- 500-600,000 deaths. Some scholars argue what Nixon did constituted genocide. The Khmer Rouge also came to power because of Nixon and was later supported by Reagan. US overthrows of other nations in the Cold War- difficult to add up but very high. Ass'n of Responsible Dissent, made up of former CIA agents, estimated 6 million deaths. In just one case, Indonesia in 1965, there were a half million deaths. Here blame is shared with the various dictator clients. WWII- As Mr. Malik pointed out, here we are talking a defensive war, one against an undeniably evil enemy. So to lay blame on the US is false and unethical. The three areas where the US gov't does share some blame is refusing to try to halt the Holocaust. The US could have offered refuge, or bombed bridges and railroad depots. Potentially one tenth of the deaths may have been halted. The US also targeted German and Japanese civilians, killing at least 300,000, plus some civilians in occupied nations. These are not accidental deaths, but a deliberate policy of killing defense industry workers. And the A bombs dropped on civilians, killing nearly 300,000. Most military men argued vs using the A bomb. Most scholars now agree it did not end or shorten the war. Japan surrendered because of the Soviets entering the war. WWI-Neither side in this war were ethical, so how to lay blame? Philippines War- caused far more deaths than the Spanish American War. The lowest estimates are 200,000, including the use of concentration camps and waterboarding. Some estimates as high as 1 million. "Indian" Wars- almost in all cases, US aggression. Worst than that was the starvation tactics, deliberate mass killing of the buffalo by the US gov't, which is an element of genocide. The Native population in what is now the US was between 12 and 18 million in 1492. By 1900 it was 200,000. Most of those deaths were in colonial times, so blame mostly goes to the British. Some believe in a form of genocide denial, blaming disease as "accidental." First, disease was sometimes deliberately spread. It was also more devastating because of deliberate starvation tactics. (See above.). And finally, if one goes into an area knowing people will die because you spread disease, you are guilty of their deaths. Even before Europeans and white Americans knew about germs, they saw and knew the obvious, that they brought diseases and spread them to Natives and Pacific Islanders. They were just as culpable as an AIDS infected person having unprotected sex would be today. Civil War- here the blame should be solely on the Confederate aggressors who began the war. But they were legally still US citizens. 500,000 is the most widely used estimate. California Indian Genocide- 120,000 to 300,000 deaths during the Gold Rush, including widespread enslavement of Indians. These were mostly done by vigilante miners' militias. US Mexico War- 30,000 deaths. War of 1812- 12,000 deaths. In both these wars, the US was the aggressor. Slavery- deaths by the crushing of slave revolts should certainly count.
  2. It is the prostitutes money. She received it for services provided.
  3. Those Burmese out on the Thai fishing boats comes close.
  4. Thanks for your question A recent example could be the Olympics. the best get gold, second best get silver, the third best bronze, losers get nothing. There are many other awards, like the Nobel, Miss Universe, world rankings etc. i have quite a few awards myself. I need a room to keep all my awards and trophies I have been collecting since I was young.
  5. Turns out he was actually a British born Christian from Africa, not an Arab.
  6. Complete nonsense. i am better than you for example. You are in Lala land if you think we are all “equal”.
  7. The Thai hookers are world leaders. When most people around the world, even those who have never been her, hear the word Thailand it is what most people think of first. They are on top of the game because of their exotic looks, sexual skills and cheap rates. You won’t find better anywhere in the world. They make hookers from other countries seem like amateurs.
  8. Threesome? A lot of bar girls are highly sexualized after years on the game and vanilla sex with an old guy won’t cut it.
  9. Just visiting her old work friends.
  10. They probably couldn’t take anymore of your bizarre theories.
  11. Looks like we have a loser who worships Andrew Tate nonsense. Probably an incel
  12. So are you. But even more dangerously, on your motorbike.
  13. in all the news. https://www.komchadluek.net/news/general-news/583395
  14. 16 years old and Matayom 4 https://www.khaosod.co.th/around-thailand/news_9368929
  15. A lot of assumptions as usual. It was an accident, there was no intent to kill the kid. There had been 494 accidents there over the last three years, one every two days, maybe there is more to it than just blaming the truck driver who had the decency to stop and assist with enquiries. And I doubt if a helmet would have done much being dragged down the road under a ten wheeler gas truck. RIP Pailin 16 is too young to die
  16. Still quite cheap really. Just plant more, they are easy to grow. Glueayๆ
  17. Surprised this doesn’t happen more often with all the groups of cyclists in Phuket. Too many bad drivers, drivers on phones and drivers who can’t handle their booze on Phuket’s roads to be on a push bike. I wonder if the cyclists were in a single file or hogging the road blocking traffic?
  18. Sounds like Nattapong was more interested in his inheritance more than the welfare of his father.
  19. They say dogs are a good judge of character. Franz. Another Swiss idiot attacking Thai women? Deport and black ban the scumbag.
  20. Nice weasel word that “characterizing” It is happening Everyday. Your bombs.
  21. And you are a real hypocrite Indeed Israel and the the USA have killed more people in than any other country . That is the reality. How many have been slaughtered this week? We are better off without them, the dead are gone and the survivors are full of hate and grief. So who are the real pigs?
  22. Good advice would be to buy a car. If you were in a car you probably wouldn’t have needed to go to hospital. Too many bad drivers, drivers on phones and people who can’t drink drive responsibly out there. Too dangerous.
  23. We have a choice. But the choice is an overweight middle aged frump. So a slim girl just out of her teens for a pittance is a better choice.
  24. There is a certain rapey feel about it for sure.
