  1. If you knew her side of the story, please explain what you would do about it. I am sure that the Daily Mail or the Sun will be along in the next day or two explaining their version of her version of what happened. The only people that really need to know are the police in Sri Lanka, plus the judge and jury (if they have one) at the trial.
  2. Lucifer? or Trump? https://nosweatshakespeare.com/quotes/famous/sup-with-the-devil/ He who sups with the Devil should have a long spoon’ is a medieval idiom that Shakespeare refers to twice in his plays. Its literal meaning is that if you get involved with the Devil you should have the means of keeping your distance. Metaphorically, eating with the Devil is dangerous and you should do it with a long spoon so that you don’t get too close. It’s a lovely idiom and so true – that if you begin to get involved with bad things you will most likely be drawn in, so if you have to deal with bad people you should keep your distance – be very careful not to be drawn into their bad projects. It’s a wonderful image of someone sitting far away from their sinister eating companion, making sure they don’t get too close by, using a long spoon to take their food. Sharing a meal with someone usually means you are already on quite good terms with them or that you want to get to know them better. If you agree to partake of the Devil’s hospitality, you are on dangerous ground and need to beware.
  3. It has nothing to do with what BS mouth wants at all. It is a personal thing foe ex President Biden, his wife and his family. Trump, as usual, is trying to make a political something, out of a nothing burger.
  4. Perhaps (but I have no real idea) Thai customs was tipped off and let her through. Possibly they tipped of Sri Lankan customs who nabbed her on arrival. Good for both sets of customs officials, and good for inter country relationships as well. Mules and what they carry are expendable and I have no doubt that there are plenty of both freely available.
  5. So prove me wrong with facts, figures and verifiable links instead of failing to answer the question? Or is your unsupported word supposed to be good enough?
  6. More BS post from you. Try doing some research before you post. There actually was NO Israel before it was carved out pf Palestine in 1948, by the USA from the British administration which inherited it from the League of Nations which won it from the Turkish Ottoman empire after WW1. British administered Palestine The Balfour Declaration was a 1917 letter from British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Lord Lionel Walter Rothschild, a leader of the British Jewish community, expressing the British government's support for "the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people". This declaration, while a pivotal moment in the history of Zionism and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, has a complex and debated legacy. How long has Palestine been in existence AI Overview Learn more The term "Palestine" as a geographic area has a long history, dating back to ancient times. While the region has been inhabited for millennia, the name "Palestine" itself has been used in different contexts over time. The term "Palestine" is derived from the Greek word Philistia, which was associated with the Philistines, a group that inhabited the area around the 12th century BCE. The word "Palestine" itself doesn't appear in written records until the 5th century BCE. Here's a more detailed look at the history: However I would not expect anything better from you, who obviously has never researched or studied history. You can bluster and shout all you like, yet you are still wrong, unless of course you can back your claim up with verifiable facts and links.
  7. Would that include Israel releasing ALL the Palestinians that they are holding, clearing Gaza of ALL the Israeli settlers, completely lifting the illegal land, sea and air blockade. Israel, completely rebuilding Gaza, Israel pulling all of their military out of Gaza. the West Bank, Syria, Lebanon and ALL the other countries that they have invaded? Paying reparations and rebuilding those countries, agreeing to a 2 state solution, and Israel staying within its own borders? Should I mention handing Netanyahu, his entire WAR cabinet and ALL the senior Israeli senior officers to the IVV foe war crimes and crimes against humanity? Without that happening why do you think that ON:Y the Palestinians should surrender? The Palestinians are fighting to keep their own country. The Israelis are fighting to destroy it completely.
  8. What the father needs, is a good hard swift goot in the boolies that leaves him crying and in severe pain.
  9. Good for the Dutch people. At least they care. Now the rest of the peoples in the world need to do the same.
  10. I hope that she is found not guilty and sues Prayuth for everything he owns for pulling yet another in a long lone of illegal military coups. With a bit of luck she could add Suthep as well, for aiding and abetting.
  11. And do you believe everything that comes from Israel or the IDF? Their lies are second only, to the lies from Trump, his sycophants and the White House press briefings.
  12. On your pc, perhaps you could try Settings Ease of Access High Contrast It works for me on AN, but you need to turn it off if you use another app. High Contrast does not work that well when I use Libre Office.
  13. I believe that HE believes that he is the leader of the world and that the world MUST do as HE commands. IMHO he is a megalomaniac. From the Oxford dictionary Dictionary Definitions from Oxford Languages · Learn more meg·a·lo·ma·ni·a /ˌmeɡ(ə)lōˈmānēə/ noun noun: megalomania obsession with the exercise of power, especially in the domination of others.
  14. Why should the Palestinians HAVE to move from their own country? Perhaps the Israeli's should learn to live within their own international borders, in their own country, that was carved out of Palestine back in 1948. Perhaps they should learn NOT yo invade other countries, to steal land and slaughter innocent men, women, children and babies. To stop bombing hospitals and schools, to stop blocking deliveries pf food, fuel and medicines, and learn to live like civilised human beings.
  15. Who are you trying to convince? Yourself or the rest of the world. If pit bulls and their variants are so cuddly and friendly, why are the being banned in so many countries for being viscous animals?
  16. If the dogs are NOT the problems, then was it the human owner that mauled the Thai dog to death?
  17. It is time that the police were given the authority and the duty to kill all pit bulls and their variations after something like this happens. Don't bother trying to rehome the dogs or trying to retrain them. If Thai vets refuse to put the animals down, then find somebody who will. If the owners protest, then add 100,000 thb to their fine and a year to their jail sentence. But DO something and don't just talk about iy or kick the can down the road as usual. That will NOT fix the problem.
  18. Don't forget that he has more talent than all of those people put together. If he is that good, why is he not on the stage, in movies and in recording studios. showing the world his multiple talents?
  19. I suppose it would be up to the country that the USA wants to hold their celebrations in. P somehow think that France would not entertain the idea.
  20. And all of them have more talent in one finger than you have in your whole body. How many people would pay to see you perform at anything?
  21. Do you have a problem with reality and movies. He is an actor simply doing the job he is paid to do, which is to act the part.
  22. Another Trump supporter who only believes words that Trump utters. If Trump did not say it it must be fake news. Never mind the facts as they are obviously fake as well.
  23. There you go again, making assumptions. You certainly missed the class on sarcasm.
  24. AFAIK the police have no armoured vehicles. They are even using motorcycles for some jobs in the South. Neither the police nor the military have any MRAP Mine Resistant Ambush Protected armoured vehicles, though the army gas some second hand Stryker armoured vehicles being washed and polished in Bangkok, just in case those nasty peasants start to answer back and revolt.
