  1. But millions more voters who did NOT vote for Trump, (and there are far more of them), don't care about the Trump and MAGA threats. They understand that the law is on their side, and NOT on the side of Trump or his MAGA supporters. Please define "everyone". You only speak for yourself, unless you have done a survey of every US citizen of voting age.
  2. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64365581 Former UK PM, Boris Johnson went in January this year. https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-zelenskyy-british-politics-kyiv-europe-c15a7620922eec1402ed4fa0d4b9b79b Current UK PM Rishi Sunak went last November. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64710479 Appearing in a war zone under regular attack, White House officials describe Joe Biden's unexpected visit to Ukraine's capital Kyiv as "unprecedented in modern times", went in February this year. https://aseannow.com/topic/1289885-japans-pm-kishida-in-ukraine-first-post-war-leader-to-go-to-a-war-zone/ Somebody is a bit behind in their research.
  3. Easily, if you don't know that you have a pre existing condition in the first place. There is no age limit, young or old for having a heart attack, though it generally gets to older people more often. https://www.bangkokhearthospital.com/en/content/cardiac-arrest Warning signs and symptoms In spite the fact that cardiac arrest often occurs with no warning, aside from sudden collapse, signs of cardiac are often unaware of, these include: Weakness Fatigue Chest tightness or chest pain especially during physical exercise or exertion. Resting usually alleviates chest discomfort. Risk factors Since sudden cardiac arrest is firmly associated with coronary artery disease, risk factors of cardiac arrest especially in young adults include: Smoking Inadequate sleep Consumption of fatty foods Pre-existing conditions e.g. hypertension, high blood cholesterol and diabetes. There is more information in the link. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/heart-attack/symptoms-causes/syc-20373106#:~:text=Men age 45 and older,If you smoke%2C quit. Heart attack risk factors include: Age. Men age 45 and older and women age 55 and older are more likely to have a heart attack than are younger men and women. Tobacco use. This includes smoking and long-term exposure to secondhand smoke. If you smoke, quit. High blood pressure. Over time, high blood pressure can damage arteries that lead to the heart. High blood pressure that occurs with other conditions, such as obesity, high cholesterol or diabetes, increases the risk even more. High cholesterol or triglycerides. A high level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (the "bad" cholesterol) is most likely to narrow arteries. A high level of certain blood fats called triglycerides also increases heart attack risk. Your heart attack risk may drop if levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol — the "good" cholesterol — are in the standard range. Obesity. Obesity is linked with high blood pressure, diabetes, high levels of triglycerides and bad cholesterol, and low levels of good cholesterol. Diabetes. Blood sugar rises when the body doesn't make a hormone called insulin or can't use it correctly. High blood sugar increases the risk of a heart attack. Metabolic syndrome. This is a combination of at least three of the following things: enlarged waist (central obesity), high blood pressure, low good cholesterol, high triglycerides and high blood sugar. Having metabolic syndrome makes you twice as likely to develop heart disease than if you don't have it. Family history of heart attacks. If a brother, sister, parent or grandparent had an early heart attack (by age 55 for males and by age 65 for females), you might be at increased risk. Not enough exercise. A lack of physical activity (sedentary lifestyle) is linked to a higher risk of heart attacks. Regular exercise improves heart health. Unhealthy diet. A diet high in sugars, animal fats, processed foods, trans fats and salt increases the risk of heart attacks. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, fiber and healthy oils. Stress. Emotional stress, such as extreme anger, may increase the risk of a heart attack. Illegal drug use. Cocaine and amphetamines are stimulants. They can trigger a coronary artery spasm that can cause a heart attack. A history of preeclampsia. This condition causes high blood pressure during pregnancy. It increases the lifetime risk of heart disease. An autoimmune condition. Having a condition such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus can increase the risk of a heart attack. A family history of death caused by coronary artery disease Again there is more information in the link.
  4. To quote Mandy Rice Davies from back in 1963, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandy_Rice-Davies While being cross-examined at Ward's trial, Rice-Davies made a riposte which has since become famous. When James Burge, the defence counsel, pointed out that Lord Astor denied an affair or even having met her, she dismissed this, giggling "Well he would, wouldn't he?"[9] (often misquoted "Well he would say that, wouldn't he?").
  5. If it is not true, then the money does not belong to the bank either. So who does it belong to in reality?
  6. But that is just your opinion. Others may differ with you.
  7. And the best choice would be for Russia to stop its war in the Ukraine, withdraw all its troops from ALL occupied Ukrainian territory, return ALL the forcibly taken Ukraine children back to the Ukraine, pay to rebuild the Ukraine from the damage it has wrought and turn Putin over to the ICC. Sadly IMHO, none of that will happen.
  8. Your points are immaterial simply because the UK Royal Family has NO power to affect the running of the country. That is already done by the political party elected to power by the people of the UK every 5 years or less. It has worked reasonably well for many years and they are the people who select those who will run the country for better or for worse. https://www.newsweek.com/british-election-can-queen-vote-royal-family-prince-william-kate-middleton-622958 BY JOSH LOWE ON 6/8/17 AT 8:12 AM EDT If you replace the Queen by King Charles and things run as they have done for many decades already, Then There is nothing in written British law barring the current monarch King Charles lll from voting in an election. But, as the Brits might say, it just isn't done. "Although not prohibited by law," the U.K. parliament website says, "it is considered unconstitutional for the Monarch to vote in an election." The rules governing royals beyond the queen are less firm. But a Buckingham Palace spokesperson tells Newsweek that "by convention," members of the royal family "close to the queen" do not exercise their right to vote. The spokesperson would not confirm how many royals that covers, but said it would include "senior members" of the royal family such as Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, and Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge. And, just like the Queen, senior royals are expected to stay politically neutral in public, though the media often tries to tease out their views.
  9. So soi 6 is the centre of your universe. Try getting outside of the little tourist box and take a look at the rest of Thailand where farangs plus Brits live with Thais. Many are married to Thai ladies and have homes, families and businesses completely unconnected with tourism, bars and prostitution etc.
  10. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curry A curry is a dish with a sauce seasoned with spices, mainly associated with South Asian cuisine.[1][2] In southern India, leaves from the curry tree may be included.[3][4][5] There are many varieties of curry. The choice of spices for each dish in traditional cuisine depends on regional cultural tradition and personal preferences. Such dishes have names that refer to their ingredients, spicing, and cooking methods.[6] Outside the Indian subcontinent, a curry is a dish from Southeast Asia which uses coconut milk or spice pastes, commonly eaten over rice.[7] Curries may contain fish, meat, poultry, or shellfish, either alone or in combination with vegetables. Others are vegetarian. Dry curries are cooked using small amounts of liquid, which is allowed to evaporate, leaving the other ingredients coated with the spice mixture. Wet curries contain significant amounts of sauce or gravy based on broth, coconut cream or coconut milk, dairy cream or yogurt, or legume purée, sautéed crushed onion, or tomato purée. I made part of the text bold and underlined it. There is more information in the link. Both wet and dry curries are cooked in a liquid and neither are called stew.
  11. As my wife was driving me back home yesterday, a stupid little <deleted> of a schoolboy on a scooter came out of a side road without looking or slowing down, and nearly ran into the pickup. No helmet of course, most probably no licence (too young) and nearly brain splattered across the 2 lane (1 each way) highway.
  12. Not the proper way of cooking it, nor is my variation a stew a stew either, just because I add potatoes, fish sauce, garlic Tabasco sauce and Worcester sauce to the 2 kg of chopped pork, 500 ml of coconut milk, 250 ml of water and 2 packets of Lobo Panang curry sauce. Cook it for a couple of hours on a low gas, adjusting the flavour every taste test. Turn it off and either eat it at lunch time, that evening and the next day. Yummy. It works well for me and my 18 years old son loves it.
  13. I thought that the phrase came from here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMLILUnRD9I&ab_channel=kels
  14. In my local branch of the KBank, if they are not sure of the answer they quite often ring the Bank's Call Centre to get a more definitive answer.
  15. The government IS held accountable and responsible for their actions (good or bad) at election time held in the UK every 5 years maximum, but it can be shorter If the PM at the time desires to do so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_United_Kingdom_general_election The Dissolution and Calling of Parliament Act 2022 received royal assent on 24 March 2022 and entered into force the same day. The prime minister can again request the monarch to dissolve Parliament and call an early election with 25 working days' notice. Section 4 of the Act provided: "If it has not been dissolved earlier, a Parliament dissolves at the beginning of the day that is the fifth anniversary of the day on which it first met." For the MPs elected in the 2019 United Kingdom general election, who first met on 17 December 2019, this means the fifth-anniversary date of 17 December 2024 and the latest possible polling day 25 working days later, which is 24 January 2025.

  16. The Beatles sang a song called all you need is love. What YOU need is, "All you need is proof". Do you have any real proof of what you wrote? If you do then pleaser post it, and send a copy to whoever is running the witch hunt as they cannot find any.
  17. Did he burn the Reichstag down? Did he start WW2? Did he start the Korean war? Too much whataboutery and too little facts. Much like my post. Same same, but different. Yes.
  18. However Trump is not so popular with the majority of the US population. If he was then he would be the President instead of Joe Biden. He lost the electoral college vote and the the popular vole of the people by over 7 million votes. He also lost over 60 cases of alleged electoral fraud. Granted he is popular in many places, he is also not so popular in many more places.
  19. That is correct at this time, however see the link below. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-18023383 2 days ago Turkey's government has said that Sweden and Finland have been harbouring Turkish citizens who it says are "terrorists". It has been demanding their extradition. Since Sweden is the main focus of Turkey's complaints, Finland negotiated a settlement with Turkey on its own. Turkey's president Recep Tayyip Erdogan has praised the "authentic and concrete steps" Finland has taken regarding his country's security. He will now ask Turkey's parliament to vote to let Finland join Nato. This leaves only Hungary still to approve Finland's entry and Hungary's ruling Fidesz Party says the parliament in Budapest will vote on the matter on 27 March. Finland hopes it will be able to join Nato in time for the bloc's July summit in Lithuania. However, Turkey is still criticising Sweden for harbouring "Kurdish militants" and neither Turkey or Hungary are yet asking their parliaments to vote on its entry. There is more in the link.
  20. He was speaking for himself, as you are only speaking for yourself. Who is "WE"? I certainly don't want it and though I, like you, have no vote. I do have an 18 year old son and I certainly don't want him using any illegal drugs, ganja included.
  21. But the British Royal Family does NOT govern the UK. They can and do advise the government, but whether the government acts on that advice, nobody really knows. A government is voted into power in the UK and they are the ones who deserve the credit when things are going well, and the brickbats when things are going wrong.
  22. Are you personally responsible for your parents behaviour from when you were a child? If you are offering Prince Harry as an example, I will offer you in exchange, his brother Prince William. He also went through the exact same "trauma". Has he written a book trashing his family connections with his father? Made a TV series? Whined how hard his life is, now he is King in waiting as his father was for many years. Or has he simply got on with his life, with its many perks and even more restrictions, along with his wife and their 3 children, who are ALL also in the public eye, without whining or complaining? Would I do his job? At 78 I am too old thankfully.
  23. As usual proof is needed. Do you have any definitive proof, links etc for what you claim?
