Going short-time only, shallow or succulent?
JonnyF replied to SoCal1990's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Good for him. I bet he wasn't getting an exhilarating yet also cleansing experience on a lilo within 5 minutes of meeting them though. Horses for courses. Sometimes you have time for a 3 course meal in a fine restaurant and sometimes you just want to grab a cheeky McDonalds on the way back from the pub. Just because you enjoy one, doesn't mean you can't enjoy the other. -
The Democratic Convention and the Gaza Debate: Unity Under Threat
JonnyF replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Harris is going to have to come out of hiding at some point and make her position clear. Being a radical leftist I'd imagine she is hugely Pro Palestine, but she might want to remember that starting a war and then subsequently getting your derriere handed to you does not make Palestine a victim. -
Totally agree. Charles is too soft and enables Harry's spoiled, entitled behaviour. William on the other hand will never forgive Harry for what he has done and said about him and his family, especially Catherine. Once William becomes King, Harry's cord will be cut. Markle will probably have moved on to an ageing Dem Tech billionaire by then so he'll be out in the cold. Complete self destruction. But like Ice T said, "you played yourself".

It's very dangerous to start classifying things like misogyny as extremism. It devalues the meaning, and raises the risk real extremism being taken too lightly. Also, if people do not like women, or men, or anything else for that matter that is their right. What next? You're an extremist if you don't like cats? People can like or dislike whatever they want. It's not up to the government to mandate what members of the public likes or dislikes. Also interesting that misogyny is extremism but not misandry. Yvette Cooper showing her "unconscious bias" maybe? This Labour government is going from bad to worse. Like a child that has never had a toy and then gets the keys to "Toys R Us" and gets over excited and runs amok.

Shocking slump: Thailand’s premium EV sales plunge 35%
JonnyF replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Thailand's government has lots of plans. Many never materialize. Even if they do, until then most people are charging their EV's from non renewable sources which kind of defeats the purpose. EV's are a flawed technology. A stop gap. Like Betamax tapes. -
Majority of Americans Advocate for Military Involvement at Border

After the massive failures of Harris, the military might be the only solution. -
Trump Condemns Kamala Harris’s Economic Proposals as ‘Full Communist’
JonnyF replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I wouldn't describe them as full communist. I think "mostly communist" would be more accurate. She is certainly about as far to the left as any Western leader would be. That's why they are keeping her locked in the basement until election day. It's dangerous to let her talk, the truth might come out.- 55 replies

Shocking slump: Thailand’s premium EV sales plunge 35%
JonnyF replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
This dicussion is about EV's in general. Not your specific cars which may or may not contain cobalt (many lithium batteries do). You may charge your cars with solar, but most people do not. Many people charge them with electrictity from coal powered stations. Many people own EV's that contain cobalt. It's a bit like saying there is no soi dog problem in Thailand because you keep your dog inside the house. Besides, lithium mining has it's own environmental issues. -
Far-Right Infighting Threatens Trump’s Campaign as Election Approaches
JonnyF replied to Social Media's topic in World News
"Far right" appears to be the new "Racist/Fascist". A throwaway comment used to silence people with whom the left disagree. So overused as to become meaningless.😃 -

Maybe not for you, sat in your ivory tower. It's not so pleasant for the children mining it though. https://www.amnesty.nl/actueel/exposed-child-labour-behind-smart-phone-and-electric-car-batteries -
Shocking slump: Thailand’s premium EV sales plunge 35%
JonnyF replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I'm talking about the entire process from start to finish. Mainly the mining of precious materials such as Lithium/Cobalt, often in very dangerous conditions in poor countries using child labour. Let's also wait and see what happens to all the old EV's in 10 years time, and how they are disposed of, particularly in developing countries where cost/convenience often supersedes environmental concerns. -
Yes, some idiots on the internet speculated about the identity of the attacker in the absence of accurate information from the authorities. There is a history of information not being released when it relates to minorities or immigrants (or both). This has led to many people assuming that when the identity/description of the perp is not released then the perp must be a minority or an immigrant. Another side effect of two tier Britain in full effect. I hope they learn from this in future and treat everyone equally. Very unlikley under Labour.

Of course the rioting was wrong. As was the 2 tiered response by the government and the courts to it. But there are very real concerns about the negative impacts that the current levels of immigration to the UK are causing. People should be able to discuss that openly and sensibly without being labelled racist, far right etc. Unfortunately, those in support of the current levels have no real argument, so they resort to name calling.

Top Japanese AV Stars Announced for 2024 Expo in Thailand
JonnyF replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I wonder if the 9,600 Baht option includes any level of participation by attendees? That would certainly be of interest to the type of awful deginerates that attend such events. I might go along to check this isn't happening. -
The type of person who overlooks the use of Burmese slave labour, rampant prostitution, poverty, huge wealth gaps, incredibly low wages, lack of social care, lack of democracy, rampant nationalism, military coups etc. in a country simply because it happens to be cheap as chips to live there. There was a thread on hear about the mental gymnastics western liberals have to do to justify living in certain Asian countries. You should read it. Now, back to pontificating about your virtue.

It was you that insinuated that he wasn't by implying there would have been no riots if the perp was British. Well, he WAS British so I simply corrected you. I didn't need to be clever to do so. My nieces fiance is black British. Lovely bloke. I don't know why you feel that someone who is black cannot be British. Seems a bit racist to me. I'd love to see you tell him he isn't British by the way, he's a semi pro Rugby player and would probably correct you very quickly.

Exactly the same way that the looting/violence during the BLM riots helped race relations I'd imagine.

They did withhold the details as they often do when the killer is not white British. The reason being that there have been a lot of high profile crimes by immigrants (first/second generation) and they were concerned that releasing the information would go against their false narrative that all immigrants are hard working doctors/nurses who culturally enrich us and the UK could not possibly survive without them gracing us with their presence. Just as Sky News cut the feed when the Muslims appeared in the background threatening the reporter and slashing the tyres of their vehicle. Doesn't fit the narrative. Of course people shouldn't riot. Just as BLM shouldn't riot or the Free Palestine mob shouldn't riot. But when local hard working people see the 2 tier justice system in play, priority given to immigrants over indigenous people who have paid into the system their whole lives it can cause resentment. Absolute nonsense and just a throwaway comment that proves that you have no coherent argument. Being angry about young children being slaughtered is a perfectly reasonable response. Just as supporting much lower levels of immigration until the resources and services (housing/NHS/Schools etc.) are in place to support them is in place is reasonable. The only reason people like you throw around the words racist and far right/meathead etc. is because you do not have a logical reason for huge numbers of often illegal immigrants when the country already has high unemployment, a lack of housing and a massive backlog for NHS treatment. More people adds to that problem, irrespective of their race. Also, when we are importing groups who hate homosexuals, are misogynistic, intolerant of other religions and often antisemitic it can also lead to cultural problems and hate crimes within the UK. Importing people with those values does not lead to harmony.
