A more appropriate name would be the 'Selling out to Foreign Corporations Act'.

Back in the olden days classic liberals and progressive conservatives had a common middle ground. I suspect most people are still in that middle ground but the media and online forums are extremely partisan. I, too, wonder if there are paid trolls (on both sides) who act to divide people. I've never encountered someone in real life who espouses the extreme positions on either side of the spectrum.

Lula is as dirty as they come. Bolsonaro was a rank amateur in comparison. It's a miracle that he survived being stabbed in the guts by a Lula fanatic. The only one in recent memory who had a shred of decency was Dilma. She didn't last long.

It's been my experience that people who throw around the word 'ignorant' are usually the least informed ones on the subject at hand. It's a form of logical fallacy rife on boards like this. I'm very well informed about AIDS and its origins in the bathhouse scenes of San Francisco and Chicago back in the 70s. The use of poppers, recreational drugs, hard core partying called 'fast tracking' and the comorbidity of at least 2 (usually 3) venereal diseases (which has morphed into the term STI) in men diagnosed with AIDS. The men who were interviewed admitted to having several bareback encounters with strangers per bathhouse visit. Those fellas are virile! My posts disclose irrefutable truths, yours are ad hominem attacks (another logical fallacy). Tell me where I'm incorrect and I'll happily review the history of the disease. Fauci also features prominently but killed fewer people with AZT than with his more recent concoction.

Not if their only experience with Indians is with people like the ones in the very misleading photo. A more accurate depiction would be roving packs of swart, loud men who roam the streets like stray cattle, obstructing roadways and blocking sidewalks, not to mention sleeping and defecating on the beach. That's enough to get any sane person going.

If so, it's from decades of being exposed to government propaganda on AIDS. The original name (GRID) should never have been changed. They, and the homosexual lobby claimed that AIDS was everyone's disease, and that lie is stuck in the minds of many people. I understand why the propaganda campaign started but it was unhelpful and led to mass ignorance. The reason it started was because the public became fearful and wanted the homos rounded up and put into camps. That's unacceptable and unnecessary because problems like AIDS are self limiting if contained within the afflicted group. The bisexuals are the ones to round up. Thailand is crawling with those. Calling katoeys 'ladyboys' when they are neither ladies nor boys, they're homosexuals dressed up and surgically altered to project a female appearance. The men who cavort with them also cavort with women. There's your vector of transmission to heterosexuals.

Spread by taking it up the a ss without a raincoat and/or sharing needles with someone who takes it up the a ss to pay for their fix. The lady was well informed. Where do you think it comes from?

Binary thinking is a sign of mental illness. Talk to your provider about the range of pharmaceutical and therapeutic options available.

They also say "I love old man" "Thai man no goot" and "up to you" when you ask about her remuneration. Apparently, the TAT is handing out 'Welocme Indian' kits that include a package of straws, a trowel with which to dig cat holes and instructions on how to bury their waste after depositing it onto the beach. The kit originally contained hand sanitizer but the unopened bottles were found discarded outside the airport.

Go-go customers call them 'starfish pods'.

That's precisely what they're doing! Fake tits, makeup and a creepy voice does not a woman make. Check a katoey's ID, it has their picture as a man and their male name.

It's ok to be gay, even if you're a bottom. Tell your family and friends, have a coming out party and be done with it. The people who have a problem with homosexuals are those who are still in the closet.

Read the one from the Golden Crab on Soi 13. It goes something like "we do not cater for customers who bring ladyboys and politely suggest that they go somewhere where their needs are understood ". The place is always full and the residents love the strict 'no degenerates' policy.

Many nations are feeling the firm grip of Trump's little hands on their hips. He doesn't like it when people resist. Maybe the Thais will go limp and let him have his way with them.

Born to imbeciles. The poor kids never stood a chance. Being a member of the British underclass is preferable to joining the Thai underclass.

Reading this article gave me a yen for a steaming bowl of pangolin soup, does anyone know where I can find it?

Doesn't get any more Thai than that.

https://unlimitedhangout.com/?s=Epstein+ However, as has long been a theme of Unlimited Hangout’s Epstein-related reporting, including the book One Nation Under Blackmail, the Jeffrey Epstein case has been poorly explored by the federal government, mainstream media outlets, and even many independent media outlets. A deeper examination of the Epstein case makes it clear that Epstein was not the sole mastermind or sole beneficiary of the sex trafficking and blackmail operation in which he engaged. Instead, Epstein served as an operator for a larger, monied network of oligarchs with extensive organized crime connections in addition to significant affiliations with intelligence agencies. He was also more than a sex trafficker for this group, having aided this network extensively in arms trafficking, money laundering and other crimes (many financial) that fall outside of the focus on his sex-related offenses You've got to have time and the patience to wade through this stuff. Wealthy, powerful people lead complex lives and have many connections and ties to other equally powerful people.

I'll have to dig for that. A journalist named Whitney Webb did a long, in depth expose years ago, and I mean long, like the Maxwell family history long. I haven't given the topic much thought since Epstein was incarcerated. None of the young ladies said that Trump participated and one stated explicitly that he did not. My suspicion is that Trump is protecting other people, probably due to coercion, self interest and wanting to protect some people who didn't lay a hand on anyone. Bill Gates' marriage came to a crashing halt after his close relationship with Epstein was exposed. Imagine how many others are out there.

The French woman in Phuket who shot herself and left everything to her maid, only for the government to snatch it (due to the corporate structure) comes to mind.

Lay off the Andrew Tate videos. For what it's worth, the whole thing looks fake to me. I bet he's a homo and Miss Swift is asexual. Like Trudeau and his former wife (beard).

200 baht oil massage with an unhappy ending.

Thanks, I was unaware of that law. People keep slinging the 'paedophile' label around but the photos I've seen were with young women well past the age of puberty, like the one above.

Yes, and spent every penny of it, probably on trinkets because Epstein also paid for their university educations. Look at the misery on that young woman's face. She was past the age of consent in the UK.
