Because when he has no answer (which is most of the time), that is his fall back response.

I do on a daily basis and I get a genuine smile in return. However I live in rural Kamphaeng Phet province which, thankfully is nowhere near a tourist place, such as Pattaya or Phuket.

Well she got to Tbilisi airport somehow and she was carrying 14kg of hash that she must have got from somewhere. Perhaps it was Thailand and also perhaps the Thai customs tipped off customs in Georgia. I have no idea, but at least 4 airlines fly to Georgia according to an internet search.

You are braver than I am. I can't watch him at all.

Why should they just let her go? 1 or perhaps 2 ounces of marijuana could be construed for personal use, but 14kg is possession with intent to sell. It is not that difficult to search the internet and look up the penalties for drug possession in a country and she has a mobile phone so she can access the internet. I have no sympathy for her at all. Will the Daily Mail be recommending a "GoFundMe" for her? https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34955121/brit-smuggler-bella-culley-cash-bonnie-clyde-tiktok/ Thank you to @GroveHillWanderer for the link.

NO.

Where do they do that in Thailand?

But only on one side.

There may always be "Madame la Guillotine" lying around in France somewhere thogh it may be hard to find enough ladies to do the knitting nowadays.

A criminal assault is NOT the way to teach discipline and is certainly NOT the way to earn respect. Respect is hard earned and not automatically given.

Sacking the teachers won't end the problem. Sacking ALL the school directors with NO compensation or pension, fining them for criminal assault and jailing them will be more effective, then doing the same to all the teachers involved with NO compensation or pension, fining them for criminal assault and jailing them will be far more effective IMHO.

Of course Russia would deny that they shot down Malaysia flight MH17. They would hardly be likely to admit it.

Not strictly correct. What is does prove however, is the stupidity of most of the senior military officers under an illegal military coup government don't seem to have any real idea of what they are doing.

Why do you think that you know what I think and what I should do? To me you are just another anonymous person hiding behind, spouting out rubbish and pretending that you are right and that everybody who does not agree with you is wrong. FYI I have no idea what the View is, nor can I be be bothered to find out.

And equally they may not. Without ANY proof either way. it is only your opinion, and that has as much (or as little) value as anybody else's opinion, that differs from yours.

2 to 6 hours if I remember. The following day if I forget.

And Trump is the face of the GOP for sure. Totally out of touch with reality.

You may have missed the sarcasm in my post.

Don't forget Irgun, the Stern gang or Likud, another unnecessary orgy of bloodshed brought to you by... Israel.

Who appointed you as the Grand Poo Bah to decide who posts what on any forum? Obviously you seem to have no idea of the Israeli ideas for Gaza so here are some links to point you in a sensible direction. They are all freely available on the open internet, IF you choose to look. So run along now and read them though you may have problems as some of them are big words. Have you ever heard of Daniella Weiss? Try looking at and reading this item. It should be safe for you to read as it is an article from The Jewish Chronicle. https://www.thejc.com/news/israel/who-is-daniella-weiss-the-godmother-of-israels-settler-movement-now-calling-for-a-return-to-gaza-j0xq8l8h Or this one https://www.npr.org/2024/10/25/g-s1-29726/israel-gaza-jewish-settlers-strategy-netanyahu or 1 from the BBC News website https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68650815 A snip from this post. There are about 700,000 Jewish settlers in these areas now and settler numbers are rising fast. The vast majority of the international community considers settlements illegal under international law, including the United Nations Security Council. Israel disputes this. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/06/hamas-israel-hunger-war-in-gaza A snip from the link. An Israeli government minister has vowed that “Gaza will be entirely destroyed” as a result of an Israeli military victory, and that its Palestinian population will “leave in great numbers to third countries”, raising fears of ethnic cleansing in the occupied territory. The declaration on Tuesday by the finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, came a day after Israel’s security cabinet approved a plan for Operation Gideon’s Chariots, which an Israeli official said would entail “the conquest of the Gaza Strip and the holding of the territories”.

Despite Bill Maher at 70 and all the other elders whining and complaining, it IS the younger generations world and they are getting it from the older generation. What kind of a screwed up world are we leaving them to inherit? Minor and major wars all over the place, convicted felons, serial liars and sexual offenders running countries, I am 80 and I have done my tiny bit to try and change the world, and failed. I would like to think that if I were in my late teens or 20's, that I would be marching alongside them and protesting as loudly as they do. After all what have we left them with as our heritage to them, that we can truly be proud of?

Poor woman. What a terrible way to die.

And on Tuesday his mind will be changed, and probably more times later in the week. However, as Trump is not the leader of the world, despite what he believes, I doubt that the prices of drugs worldwide will be affected. Drug prices in the USA may get lowered until the big Pharma lobbyists get going and change his mind, I really don't expect that much will change.

Please explain how so many innocent men and women, children and babies are considered as terrorists, and by which countries?

The Vietcong and the Palestinians were/are fighting for a country of their own. Why are the Israeli's fighting? They have their own country, carved out of Palestine. but the Israeli's want more and more lebensraum and don't care how they get it, or who they kill to get it.
