Well, Trump (once again)shows his complete lack of understanding of diplomacy, decorum or common good manners.
Trump shows his total lack of intelligence and diplomacy (haha) by resorting to personal attacks and name calling.

I believe nowadays they are too well fed. Back in the day they were on you like flies. Take a girl out and others would be begging to come too. Nowadays I dont think they have that same drive to take care of their family. I also think with high lady drink prices today they seem to me to prefer to stay in the bar and squeeze drinks from customers. Many have farang bf who send them money as well. I still like to cruise bars from time to time....nostalgia I guess?? but thats the feedback I get.
And yes, I am not the young hansum man I was so that may muddy the data a touch.

why don't they pay the cops more? at the same time improve their training.
It was explained to me some years back that if they were paid a decent wage they would just go home or to their favourite bar everyday. By giving them a low wage it forces them out onto the streets and even if they are only taking back handers they are still upholding the law. Thats the theory anyway.

All of the above plus dont get caught up in the "show" game.
I have been married now for 15 very happy years. I'm mid 60's and wife is 20 years younger.
I never saw much of it in Bangkok where we were for 10 years but the "show" game is rife in Isaan. Back home you would know it better as "keeping up with the Jones". The "show" game is very similar except over here you have to beat the Jones. For example the wife will tell you you need a new pickup, not secondhand but new. You dont need a pick-up but you MUST buy one, particularly a Ford Ranger nowadays because they look bigger and fancier......doesnt matter if they are problematic, the important thing is that it looks good. There are many up here that buy pickups and park them in the driveway only for show. Cant afford the diesel, nor have much of a use for one but you can show you have more than your neighbours. Although most up here get repossessed the important thing is you could show it for a while. Another important show piece is gold and you must show it all the time.
Now dont blame all this on your wife. Believe it or not she is under tremendous pressure from her family and peers who will constantly be on her back because she has a farang husband and everybody knows all farang have a money tree that produces 1,000 baht notes quicker than you can pick them. She will be constantly hit with "why you only have small car?" and "why you not have big gold around your neck?" I have two friends up here who have found themselves in serious debt because while they have been giving money to their wives to make car/tractor payments the wives have been paying off gold with it that the hubby hasnt even seen.....she only puts it on when going alone to the markets etc to show her friends! And worse still the hubby later finds out the money is not actually going to the gold, its not even covering the interest she is paying to the loan sharks who lent her the money to buy the gold and they are ready to kick the door down any minute. I kid you not.
Fifteen years and I am finally starting to get through to my wife that she has to ignore it because out of jealousy her peers will not stop and even if she had 20 new pick-ups she would then get "why havnt you got 21?" Another good example is when I had satelite tv installed. I asked the technician to put the dish on the back boundary wall and he was stunned. "But no-one can see it back there?!"
Another tip would be to wear condoms always or get yourself snipped. I have had several of my friends find their wife pregnant after she "forgot to take the pill but only one time" lol.
Good luck!

I wonder why they wont mention the offenders are Chinese, It has been all over the news lately. Is it because the numbers are down on Chinese tourists?

Oh yes of course..."Reefer Madness" is the problem. And this from the country where I was told not to eat chicken if I have a bad back.......and particularly not on a Tuesday!!

Yes its time for an investigation, a bunch of committee meetings and a crackdown to ensure this never happens again.
I dont think we have one yet this year have we?

Chemical's younger brother?
I think you mean the then Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz. I always felt he was only doing his job and in fear of the US supported madman Saddam Hussien if he said otherwise, Saddam also had agreements with the US which proved worthless once his usefulness in attacking Iran ran out.

Point would be willingness to deescalate
Sure, but its all in Trumps hands. He needs to go back to the initial agreement and KEEP TO IT while also dropping the sanctions. Iran, on the other hand, really needs to do nothing different because they have kept to the agreement. Its very simple really.

Would going to war be preferable, then?
Maybe to the US yes, but I doubt to the rest of the world. My point is the US could sign an agreement today but attack tomorrow on the basis of some blatant lies.

What is the point of having talks when history has proven repeatedly that agreements mean nothing to the US??

Poll is misleading - as of now 38 voted - 25 for 1st option is not the 23% as showing -more like 65%
I dont do polls on here because it usually comes back to bite you.....most often in the form of another advertisement. A similar poll on FB, which nobody on here knew about, and if read by Thai Immigration, would have them believe an overwhelming majority of over 50's wanted compulsory health insurance which is totally wrong. Somebody starting a poll usually means somebody is wanting to make money from you.

Here are the key points:

What they are saying is that they never caught anybody copulating in front of them with money in their hands........therefore no evidence of course, case closed.
