Any NATO country would be excluded as it could lead to WW3, and nuclear winter, so which countries would be left- Australia, NZ, Pitcairn Island, Papua perhaps? No way would any Asian country be getting involved with a Euro squabble- far too sensible for that. So, what would the terms of engagement be- like in the former Yugoslavia when it was reduced to turning up after the slaughter ended and saying "oh dear me, isn't this just awful", or full on shooting war with Russia? Iraq? LOL. It was a tin pot dictatorship with an army only good for suppressing the mob, and as effective as the Syrian army that gave up after 10 days.

Empty is good. It usually avoids the descent into raw hatred and locking the bedroom door for fear she would murder me in my sleep.

Sounds yummy, but you'd be mad to marry one.

I really wanted to be a porn star in Japan, but I'm not Japanese. Is that an excuse or a reason? There is nothing wrong with complaining and it can be cathartic. The Duke of Wellington reportedly said he was happy when his men complained, but when they stopped he worried.

Only according to current science speculations. Given how primitive current science is, any possibility exists for faster than light travel. It's been published on who knows how many science fiction movies, and science fiction has many times postulated things that came true. I'm surprised that you accept the current theories without question. I believe it's the Galactic Council fleet waiting to destroy us at the first indication we can escape into the universe. No way will they allow us to contaminate the Galaxy with our violence.

There was a popular show host on Fox many years ago ( I forget his name ) that forsaw the US printing lots and lots and lots of paper money and the resulting inflation. He must be laughing like a drain now.

For a possible reason see my post 2 below yours. I can't believe that any sensible person actually thought she would make a good POTUS, and whatever I think of Pelosi and Obama, I don't think they are that stupid.

The only people that believe what the poster you responded to said are the ones that claim that Obama rescued the economy and not Trump. Sad deluded people.

It has occurred to me that whoever was pulling Biden's strings the last couple of years determined that the economy was doomed whoever won the election and inserted a "sure to lose" candidate into the campaign, so that Trump ( and the GOP ) would be blamed for the debacle. Whether that is true or not it does seem that chickens will be returning to roost and the sky will indeed fall, though not because of climate change.

If you don't know, why don't you just not post anything? The forum is about members opinions, not a cut and paste lecture.

One sometimes wonders if God gave planet earth to Satan to mess about with, given the disaster humans have been.

I wasn't aware of her age at the claimed time of incident, but one wonders what a 13 year old was doing at a adult stranger's house for a party. Surely grounds for prosecuting the parents for being very bad parents.

but will it stop humans from killing each other or be used to make even better ways to do so?

Serious to whom? It may be interesting to some to know about the universe, but most will not care or be affected in any way by such knowledge.

People are, IMO, too afraid to admit that they know sod all about the universe, or how it was created, so they seize on any plausible scenario to believe in. Sort of like imagining that there are more than 2 genders. They want it to be true, so they believe in any old theory that supports their druthers. BTW, it's going to be an unwelcome shock to a few on here if science proves that God created the universe.

But but but, they don't have any proof that multiple universes do not exist. Human science is IMO too primitive to prove or disprove almost everything about our universe, and just guessing. I guess it keeps them in employment.

Only thing I know about this is that Thai doctors will know what it is. I don't understand why the OP is posting about it instead of at the hospital. It's not like they cost a lot in LOS.

Far as I know there was only negotiation or invasion on offer. I'm agog to know what other solutions were on offer that you know about.

WOW. Corruption laid bare. I guess netanyahu snr knows he's in for it once the conflict is over, so exploiting it while he can.

and yet the "leaders" of the west, while crying foul on a certain other country, seem to be the 3 monkeys when it comes to israeli actions in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon- see no evil, hear no evil etc. It's hardly credible that they don't know exactly what israelis are doing, as it's all on tv.

Always.

If any want to force Thais to wear crash helmets, why stop there? no comments on the appalling road design and lack of maintenance or even cleaning, no demands for them to wear a minimum of gloves ( only riders I saw wearing gloves were m'bike taxi drivers ), but preferably full body armour, and of course, not a whisper about fining parents that allow young children to ride m'bikes and especially with 4 of their friends on board, or the one in the OP, carrying a baby while riding one handed, as I saw myself on occasion. Why stop there anyway? Lets turn Thailand into another western <deleted> hole that we couldn't wait to get away from. Just don't mind the violence and crime that comes with it.

The country is not free from state control, as evidenced by strict laws (we cannot discuss), defamation laws, and regulations on public behaviour, which highlight significant government oversight. None of which affected me in any significant way, unlike in the west where I am compelled to fence my swimming pool to protect bad parent's children, can't smack my naughty child and where wokeness is woven into the culture. While Thai people take pride in their cultural identity, it’s inaccurate to claim they universally reject Western influence. Sadly, Thais seem to have embraced all the worst aspects of western society including sugar and some incursion of wokeness. Thankfully they have not succumbed to allowing foreign ownership of land by individuals, or taking much if any interest in the western obsession with over regulation. improvement in safety culture will not impact 'Thai culture' as you see it. In your opinion. In mine it's the thin end of the wedge. Start with forcing Thais to wear a crash helmet and it ends with a western clone.

Not often that I put someone that doesn't insult me personally into ignore, but I'll make an exception for you.

Only loser is you and all the rest that voted for loser Harris. 😪
