3 hours ago, Chelseafan said:What are you on about? A house is something that is tangible. Self determination is a state of mind. If it makes you feel good then great but in all reality it's not going to change any of our lifes for the better whatsoever
If you said to me cost of living will go down then then I'm fully on board but all indicators point to the contrary
Yea, you know exactly what im on about, unlike you im not in the for sale camp.
Thanks but my life and many others has already changed for the better simply by showing on this island the will of the people and democracy still matters more than coin, yours is not my problem.
Brexit has in fact changed the world and reminded people that voting still matters and things can be changed despite the push for
globalismcommunism.-

That old unseen enemy that has no name but gets trotted out in most non democratic countries, usually by the generals but not exclusively.

Spare us your holier than thou its the lawwwww, the Thai gov couldnt give a rats about its own laws and never has unless it suits or needs a contribution. The place is corrupt to the core, especially at high office.
This is simply a shake down of local police making a few baht on easy meat, nothing more.. bit like prostitution is illegal and has been for decades but wait.................. oh yea TIT hub of hookers.... should'nt you be getting your halo serviced ?

Just now, RuamRudy said:Our parliament just gave away our right to self determination to an unelected quango, and then voted to emasculate itself by giving up any right to challenge that quango. In what parallel world is that called self determination?
You have been conned by corrupt people and you have inflicted that upon the whole country. Cannot be bribed? Good god, you are having a laugh or haven't watched the news this week. Open your eyes, man! It is not too late to realise that they have made a fool of you.
How Ironic that something you so desire is wrong when its achieved by another... those that can do, those that cannot only complain about those that do.
One word... jealousy.

Not one.
Don't be silly, I just gave you the main one last post, Self determination. The very same reason you get all dewy eyed and harp on about independence yet when given that option your own countrymen prefer to continue be ruled by the English... Thus we may conclude the Scots can be bought and bribed whilst the English apparently cannot.
This is why England rules our island to this day and will continue to.

Quotethe Army will employ strict measures to keep the returnees in quarantine facilities and make sure that no one can slip out.
Thats nice but does imply Thai soldiers cannot follow simple orders, thats probably true but guys... optics
QuoteAnother soldier was sent to the hospital as well due to an injury on his finger that required a surgery.

Fair enough but all I'll ask is this. In what way has your life been affected because of lack of self determination? What do you REALLY think you are going to get back because of "self determination".
Its a straw man argument and tbh if you have to ask there is little point in my answering it at length....ill put it like this...
If you are allowed to rent and you can afford it forever with all the maintenance and responsibilities would you want to own your house ? Either you know and care about the difference and prepared to to do what is required or you dont.
Personally I would go to great lengths to assure I own my own home etc but I know plenty of people who just dont or want the responsibility..I dont care what they want to do as long as they dont try to force me to rent too... I hope that answers your Q ????

38 minutes ago, Chelseafan said:OK I'll bite. Why are you happy that we are leaving the EU ?
Ive been posting about that in hundreds of threads since before the referendum. No disrespect to you but im not doing all that at this stage, literally on hundreds of posts I spent enough time telling people here why we should and would vote out when the chance came and we did. Little has ever been about the financials but even that was a good reason to leave, this is where the salty tears start and end tbh, I began to laugh and have been ever since... it dosnt matter to me if the UK has a recession for a decade as a result, ( it wont though ) you cannot put a price on self determination ( such as it is ) . Turns out I and millions of others were correct, when it came down to it the English by a very large majority are not for sale, despite all the bribery and attempts at destroying everything built over the centuries England remains ruled by England and with it goes the UK.
I care not one jot for those who would try to bring self rule to an end, especially those who measure life by financial wealth and coin, they are the ones for sale and I have no respect nor time for them and there are plenty of those on TV.

Just a reminder that the UK is OUT, the salty tears of the losers here is still flowing and its not even December yet ????
Stay mad please, be funny to see how mad the losers can get over the next year or so, especially the SNP when it becomes clear there is no leaving and blew the one chance they had this century ... ahh well I guess some are born to rule, others to be ruled.

But....You just did ???? (sorry I could not resist, no offense meant, just for the sake of making a little joke )
No offence taken at all. Actually I was not engaging in dialog or "talking" as we are now, it was simply a statement and notice of action, thats just me being polite. ????

Explain why.
You miss the point that they did it before to close the border and it worked perfectly.
Are you that kind of pretentious individual who holds the truth and is realistic without ever providing the slightest proof? A kind of guru without any evolved idea but who knows everything?
Please, teach us the true my lord...

Germany and France should pay in double, Holland Denmark and Austria another 30%... let off Italy Spain & Greeces debts and up the funding to the other deficit contributers until they all have parity with the richer ones... thats what the socialist state of the EU wants after all... thankfully without the UK... Byeeeee suckers.

Been reading these stupid polls that are posted on TV for over 15 years here,. Usually its a low and pointless number from a particular demographic classic was 1200, usually Dusit or some military academy.
Basically these polls are ALL just propaganda BS for whatever narrative they junta or gov wishes to peddle..... frankly its pathetic but hey ho its Thai tradition.

That old tried and tested business model in Thailand that i sure to make you go bust. Even buffaloes learn from their mistakes.
It astounds me how many businesses actually fold in Thailand. Coffee shops open next to another, 7/11, shops and countless others that just don't seem to have a business plan for 5 years and a marketing strategy.
I would like to think that this would change but I don't believe it will. It seems ingrained in a mindset that will take many many years to erode. Which is a shame as it has the potential to be be one of the most prosperous counties in SE Asia with its natural resources.
What always amazed me was the amount of times some Thais went into obvious business failures and still found the money for the next stupid idea.
No shortage of money out there, same with the new car thing and other huge expenses they seem to suck up, bemoan but learn nothing from.

If my memory serves me right the junta justified the coup d’état in 2014 with their fight against corruption. A total fail.
Yes but they didnt say what their objective was, clearly it was to be even better at it. ... mission success id say.
