Keep on raiding their hangouts until they find another country to do their dirty work in.

These lowlifes spoil the scene for all of us.

 

Ha1 Ha!  I love the thought people worrying about "spoiling the scene" around Nana!.  When you are wading in the sewer there isn't too much you can spoil.  Although it does take out what was a good source of high quality cannabis at non rip off prices (or so I am told).

The stupidity of youth that now pays a heavy price.  However I suspect their parents will be on their way with real money and that, after the appropriate amount of handouts, will be that.

 The little fantasy that you made-up? Not likely at all.

 

Who thinks that "all" Muslims are terrorists?  Pretty much nobody. 

Maybe you should check that out with some of your fellow Trumpsters on TV.  Actually that is not true, it covers plenty on here who are not even American as well.  Maybe just refer to them as racists

Nothing much changes and when it does it is very slow to do so.  The core motivation for Pattaya bars hasn't changed over the years with all the various parties having their noses in the trough.

let's have a little fun with this.  let's pretend that Obama was a Muslim.  So he got into power as President to do what exactly?  According to those who believe that all Muslims are terrorists he must have had a plan to bring down the USA, right?  He must have had a plan to get rid of all the Christians and made American a Muslim country, right?  The last thing he would want to do is go after Bin Laden because he would have been a buddy of his, right?

Apart from anything else the American peole would have seen through him within his first four years in office and they would have voted him out, right?  After all the republicans had done the best they could to discredit him and they had a man who could take his place in a heartbeat, right?

Time for a rethink?  Not likely is it

I am not sure who is driving the Donald train these days?  Clearly his behaviour is getting more and more bizarre.  Inviting a talk show host to ruffle his hair?  Very Presidential!  He is obviously trying to change peoples perception of him but to what end?

The army versus the police has been in place for many years.  The police are more high profile and have more opportunities than the army boys but that doesn't mean they are necessarily more corrupt.

please, all ,accept:  you will never win a political debate on a forum - you will never win one, anywhere.  we all 'know' what we believe in and adverse arguments on a platform like this one will do nothing to change your or someone's  mind.  no one will ever convince me that afd/trump /wilders will make a good government - and v/v.

that's just how it is.  i think.

I agree.  However the baiting and ranting is not to be taken seriously.  It is based on a load of angry old men (and sometimes even young ones) with much too much time on their hands.  What makes it quite unique is that both candidates are pathetic and fair game for the farcical vitriol.  Let's face it we will all be sorry when the "election" is over

A restaurant owner in the USA was shot by an armed robber.  Anything else is irrelevant.  Not for the folks on here though!

It is an unfortunate consequence of running a business in Thailand.  Fortunately for us my wife's sister manages a government office and her relatives are in the police so we were protected.  However it didn't stop  all the leeches trying initially.  It is the accepted face of life in Thailand and you live with the system or leave.

well it is society becoming more depraved right?

Really?  You wouldn't look back at the Kennedy clan and think that was more depraved?  I am quite sure that there are skeletons rattling about in many of the cupboards in the White House and have been there for many, many years!  It's all about abuse of position (and getting found out!).  I would have thought and Melania posing nude wasn't abusing any position.  I would argue that society isn't becoming more depraved but it is far more exposed these days and that is a good thing.

i think it is great and a step in the right direction. maybe bargirls in the future will not have to feel the shame from their families despite supporting them. imagine a world where people did not feel shame for the jobs they have to do to get by.

did it bother you when bill was sticking cigars in his intern?

Edited 1 minute ago by williamgeorgeallen

Can't see the comparison with Bill Clinton committing a sex act with an intern and Mrs Trump working as a nude model?

Update from Clinton's doctor: Democrat is 'fit to serve'

We'll be the judge of that!  She may be well enough but "fit to serve"?  Neither of the candidates is fit to serve but unfortunately there is little choice now

I think posing naked for a living is fine.  Can't see how that would be an issue.  The hypocrisy is par for the course at this stage of the circus.  I do think that both sides need to up their game though, this has become very pedestrian now.

Why does this matter at all?  She is not running for office, she is just one of Trumps wives.

Oh of course she could be the first lady....... No still can't see how this matters at all.

This is really boring.  Even the posters can't find anything to rant over here.

Places around the world often have part of their infamy associated to their taxi drivers.  New York was one example.  I think in Thailand's case the taxi drivers do tend to reflect what Thailand is really like.  At least from a tourists perspective

Can the USA be united?  Given the two candidates it very much looks like NO!  They are polar opposites and mud slinging appears to be their chosen rules of engagement.  If we fast forward to the day after the election just what will be the mood of the people in the US.  Obviously there will be winners and losers and the winners will do their gloating and the losers will blame a corrupt system.

If Trump wins (and I have eaten my hat) how will he go about bringing the country together?  If Clinton wins then ditto?  The vitriol between the two sides looks to be at it's highest level for decades and I cannot see, after the election, how everyone will hug each other and bury the hatchet.  Are we being naïve in thinking that the election itself will be the final curtain call and then everything will get back to normal? 

I am afraid there are quite a few members here who cannot distinguish one religion from another.  Much easier for them to just chant Islam or Muslims.  Unfortunately there is no point in trying to educate them as they really cannot grasp such simple facts.  They much prefer their own brand of fiction

Hardly fleeced!  But the obvious question is why would you be treated for PC in any hospital in Thailand if you can go back to your own country?  This is your health being placed in the hands of cowboys.

Reminds me of a few "hotels" I have stayed at in Asia except the food looks better.

He got away with it because he managed to hide that he was in a wheelchair from the public. Can't do that now.

FDR had a machine in his car that lit a cigarette for him and then put it in reach for him to take with his one good hand;

On a lighter note does anyone remember Doctor Strangelove?

Thank you everyone for you're imput.  I know it isn't likely but with this election who knows!

Would I be right in thinking then, that in theory, Bernie would be considered to run? 

Without all the waffle can I ask a question of our American friends here.   If a candidate had to stand down for health reasons at this stage of the campaign what would the procedure be?  Can she/he be replaced by a new candidate or would the nominated running mate take over?  Also has there ever been a case where the election had to be postponed?

I understand that several one legged lesbian donkeys have been spotted recently so replacing either candidate would be easy to do.

After the horse has bolted springs to mind.  Most of the insurgents in the south live there.  Of course you could always try shooting them all
