  1. Only really stupid people would vote someone even more stupid into power. and then wonder why nothing is getting better.
  2. Thank for the link to an interesting read.
  3. If China has way more problems internally than anyone knows. How do you know what is going on?
  4. And just how would the government know that the lady was pregnant? If the baby was born at her home, perhaps she had not seen a doctor and probably never been to a hospital or an antenatal clinic. If she had not told anybody that she was pregnant, how would anybody, least of all the government know? But carry on bashing the Thai government as you usually do.
  5. Whilst that may happen, it certainly doesn't happen in most of Thailand. Do you have any proof of what you claim?
  6. The problem with a video is that it is a glimpse of time only. Unless the video started before the incident and kept running before, during and after the video, nobody will know what lead up to the incident and what happened afterwards.
  7. I agree and I am a Brit pensioner living in Thailand.
  8. However street justice is swift and efficient. If you behave and don't try to be a smartass, then the bar staff and security will leave you alone. If you get drunk and dispute the bill, you may get a problem. If you pay the bill they will leave you alone. If you want to be a smart ass and cause problems then you will probably get what you deserve, as happened in this case. I have NO sympathy for him at all.
  9. And are you willing to let Trump take that chance. Let us make an assumption that it will end up as a full scale nuclear war and that most of the people are dying or dead. Not only nuclear, but biological and chemical warfare also. However there will be nuclear safe shelters for certain people to escape into. But how many people will make the shelter and how long will they have to stay there. Take any number you like for the people inside the shelter. How much food will you store away to feed that number of people 3 times a day? How much clean water will you store for the same number of people? Where will you send all the waste water from the toilets and showers? Where will you store all the trash? How much fuel will you store to run the generators to keep the shelter running? Most importantly, how many years would you be willing to live underground? Now the war is over after a number of years, and you are one of the survivors. You leave the shelter and find what? A devastated world with polluted land so you can't grow food, the rivers and the seas are polluted, so you can't even eat the fish, There will be no undamaged roads and the only vehicles will be the ones in the shelter. There won't be any fuel left anyway, nor will there be any gas or electricity to pump the non-existent fuel. There will be no government, no police, no hospitals, no military etc as they will all have vanished. There may be money in the banks, jewels and gold in the shops simply because you can't eat them. There will be no food, water or even beer because they will have been taken in the first few days There may even be surviving humans, if they (and you) are unlucky, but I don't think that you would want to meet them. I will ask you again, are you really willing to let Trump take that chance.
  10. A man has died and this is the best you can come up with. You are a very sick person.
  11. Really? And where does your information come from? I ask, because as usual, for many posters don't bother or more likely cannot post a link as there are no verifiable links to post.
  12. But that also means that the Ukraine is in a far stronger bargaining position vs the USA. The Ukraine doesn't HAVE to sell to the USA. OTOH it also makes the Ukraine more valuable to Russia. This is the big problem when the lunatics who are currently running the asylum have no concept or real idea of what they are doing.
  13. Who says it is the one true church? This is the whole problem with religion across the world. Each religion claims to be the one true religion, and that their god is the one true god. Who decides what is true? You, mw, somebody else, some unknown god who many people pray to but who never listens and never speaks to anybody. I gave up on religion decades ago when I realised that. You are more than welcome to believe in something that doesn't exist nut please don; push that stuff on to anybody else, especially onto children who know nothing different. If you want people to believe you, lay out the proof. Find people who have died and come back to life and can prove it.
  14. But heaven and hell for which religion? Christians only, is the Christian one divided between each separate division of Christians, Catholic, Protestant. Orthodox etc, Buddhists (all variants), Hindus, Sikhs Moslems etc or one for all religions, or a separate one for each different religion? How far back does this "Heaven and Hades go? To the Vikings. or further back into the pagan times. What about religion that worshipped animals? It is very easy to claim something like that as no proof is necessary and nobody can prove that you are right or wrong. There will always be people who are willing to believe you. Some religions permit you to be evil all your life, but one quick confession on your death bed and all is forgiven and you can go to heaven. Really?
  15. Instead of complaining about the link, simply prove that the link is wrong and incorrect, but don't forget to supply the verifiable links. That should be easy for you.
  16. I cannot believe anything that comes from a Trump supporter, especially when the majority of the countries agree that climate change is real. Is climate change a real thing or not? AI Overview Learn more Yes, climate change is a real and serious issue, and the overwhelming scientific consensus is that it is primarily driven by human activities. The Earth's climate is changing at an unprecedented rate, and this is largely due to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, mainly from burning fossil fuels and deforestation. Elaboration: Scientific Consensus: A vast majority of scientists, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), agree that human activities are the main cause of the observed warming trend since the mid-20th century. Studies have shown that over 97% of climate scientists agree that human-caused climate change is happening. There is much more information in the link, at least for intelligent people to read. https://www.wwf.org.uk/updates/here-are-10-myths-about-climate-change#:~:text=Over the course of Earth's,know climate change is real? Over the course of Earth’s 4.5-billion-year history, the climate has changed a lot, this is true. However, the rapid warming we’re seeing now can't be explained by natural cycles of warming and cooling. The kind of changes that would normally happen over hundreds of thousands of years are happening in decades. Global temperatures are now at their highest since records began. In fact, the 10 warmest years on Earth, since 1880, have occurred since 2014. There is much more information in this link, at least for intelligent people to read.
  17. Please tell us all your qualifications once again that makes you correct in your claim.
  18. Ask yourself why it is OK for Israel to have nuclear weapons but no no other country in the region is allowed to have them? does Israel have nuclear weapons? AI Overview Learn more Yes, it is widely believed that Israel possesses nuclear weapons, although the Israeli government maintains a policy of "nuclear ambiguity" and neither confirms nor denies having such weapons. Estimates suggest Israel has a nuclear stockpile of approximately 90 warheads. While not a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), Israel is considered to have developed a nuclear arsenal capable of delivery by missiles, aircraft, and possibly submarines. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9075/#:~:text=capabilities is difficult.-,Capabilities,House of Commons Library website. Capabilities Israel is estimated to have a nuclear stockpile of approximately 90 warheads; while production of plutonium for weapons purposes is thought to be continuing. On the basis of unconfirmed reports, Israel could be in possession of the nuclear triad for delivery of its nuclear capability. This short paper is intended as an introduction to Israel’s nuclear weapons policies and programmes, as far as is known from publicly available sources. It is part of a series of country profiles which are available on the House of Commons Library website. Perhaps Iran needs to defend itself from Israel and the USA. U have no doubt that the Trump supporters on here will deny that, but which is the only country in the world which has actually dropped nuclear weapons during a war? If the USA wants the region nuclear free, let him start with Israel, and remove ALL their nuclear weapons and capabilities. At this time Israel is the biggest threat to the region and the world.
  19. Instagram is a verifiable news reporting source?
  20. It seems as though this court case is a double edged sword. https://www.gbnews.com/royal/prince-harry-tax-latest-duke-of-sussex-us-update He has no job in the UK and AFAIK, he has no income, other than his Army pension which is also taxable. If he owns property then he will pay local council taxes. If it is rented out, he will pay tax on that income as well. However as he lives in the USA, the IRS will tax his worldwide income. It also seems as though, if he has any money left over from paying his legal bills. the IRS will tax him on that as well. All he had/has to do is hire his own bodyguards, both in the UK and the USA and none of this would have happened. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and IMHO he still believes that he is far more important than the average person in the UK, and therefore still believes that he has more rights than anybody else, at the UK taxpayers expense. Hopefully one day he will wake up and realise how important he really is to the UK, but perhaps not.
  21. I must have missed the bit where the Move Forward party were elected and formed the government. Granted that they won more seats than any other party, but not enough seats to form a government, and if they formed the government they would be in power and running the country now. However they could NOT form a government or even a coalition government, so after a period of trying, the party with the next highest number of seats (in this case, the PTP) was given the opportunity, who could and have formed a coalition government and now run the country. As the MFP are not in power, how could they have inherited the problem?
  22. And back in 1993, long before Thaksin came to power you were lucky to get 38 THB/GBP. You can't even blame blame Thaksin for the Tom Yam Gung crisis, as he wasn't in power then either. He won the election and the downside of winning was sorting out that mess. PTP and Thaksin inherited this crisis as well.
