  1. Or perhaps De Niro can croon a bit. They'd make a dynamic duo.
  2. Believe all Democrat women that accuse Trump of being naughty. Believe GOP women, not so much.
  3. Trump only needs to worry if the crowd is thinner at the start. We don't know why they started leaving. Perhaps they had a bus to catch, or promised to meet aunt Jeannie, or wanted to avoid the traffic, or their favourite tv show was on shortly, or perhaps they decided they had had enough excitement for one day. It'll be a good day for Harris if she gets as many at her rally at the start as he has at the end.
  4. I may not know everything about the election for POTUS, but I'm pretty sure that the vote is for the package, and there are not 2 votes- one for POTUS and another for VP- it's just one vote for both. Soooo, that makes your comment exceptionally silly, IMO.
  5. Vietnam? Been more than a few since then you could have joined up for.
  6. and? Given you didn't serve at all, even in a rare time of no combat, you are obviously unaware that there are more support troops than those carrying a rifle and getting shot at. Do you have the same derogatory comments for cooks, doctors, nurses and medics in hospitals, radio techs, mechanics, carpenters and plumbers, MPs, dentists and their assistants, entertainment corps, clerks, transport drivers, loadmasters, engineers, bulldozer drivers, AWAC crews, etc etc etc?
  7. If you mean the one that has "jd-vance-is-a-con-artist-and-the-debate-proved-it", why would I waste my time reading an article that is obviously biased and just repeating the MSM rubbish?
  8. suffering worse losses than it did in WW2 Tell me when Russia's losses top 20 million, which is what they lost in WW2. That was a minimum and could have been millions higher.
  9. To answer your question I refer you to the the words "you appear".
  10. You must be a little bit mixed up on that reply. I was referencing the language and nothing to do with terrorists.
  11. Unlikely that the need would arise in Thailand at this point in time as most would be unable to afford it. https://www.worldbank.org/en/country/thailand/publication/caring-for-thailand-s-aging-population Most in need of elder care continue to depend on family and community care as the institutional long-term care costs are high and most Thais cannot can afford it without government support.
  12. Seems he lost his brain after retiring, or did he retire because he lost his brain?
  13. Wonder where the authors think all the money is going to come from, considering the existing debt the US apparently can't pay off.
  14. IMO Xi has been looking at the USA's record of fomenting wars all over the place, and has decided China better be strong enough to deter the US from even trying it on. Only from a position of strength is China safe. Perhaps if Biden wasn't sending all the ammunition and weapons to israel the US would have enough.
  15. Dietary wise life is making a joke on us- healthy food just isn't tasty and enjoyable as food supposedly bad for us. If I wasn't pre diabetic I'd still be eating loads of sugar. Don't and never cared about food any more than filling the petrol tank. Favourite food is hot dogs. Saves on expenses as never a need to eat at restaurants, except fast food if in a rush. In Thailand I did eat at a restaurant all the time ( Gekkos in Chiang Mai ), bit of a dump but great food at not much more cost than cooking for myself. Lovely hot dogs too.
  16. Men who take advantage of poor women because they can, and ending up as Thai women haters at worst, or just grumpy old men who lost. LOL. Who is taking advantage of whom? You strike me as someone who doesn't have much if any actual experience of the farang bar scene. IMO you treat women like the weaker sex, when that is BS. Most BGs can make a man jump when they tell him to. While I had a problem with my ex, I never hated all Thai women. It was my own fault for keeping her instead of renting. An retired expat with an younger girl, I can just assume how boring it can be if have no common ground, or nothing to do, that makes them get up in the morning and start doing something, Sounds like you think the woman doesn't have a job. My wife went out to work every day, and earned her own money. Some guys really get taken for suckers.
  17. When I was of an age to go to uni I would have lasted about 5 minutes before I said the wrong thing and my uni life ended. I spent almost my entire school years in boys only schools without any female contact ( I guess I was just lucky there ), except for one female teacher, who might as well have been a man, and the office lady who was a goddess of beauty to be worshiped from afar, but never close up. After school came the male only bastion of the military, before women were permitted in other than the typing pool. The result was that I was naive and ignorant of the ways of women when I went nursing. It was a steep learning curve to survival. I guess I was lucky to get out reasonably unscathed; some did not and lived to regret their choice of career. However, scarred for life mentally.
  18. Sometimes less is more. My eyes started to glaze over about half way through that. However, from what I did read, I have to agree. Don't worry, eat drink womanise or whatever makes you happy, as western civilisation is IMO heading directly into the dumpster of history, and not a thing that you or I can do about it, except try and find some enjoyment as the great experiment in democracy comes to a shuddering halt in wokism, PC and BS writ large. The saddest thing is that those that would have saved it, real men, have vanished. Now they are emasculated, beaten down, in thrall to womanhood, afraid to speak out, and generally neutered. I know as I was that way myself in my trade of nursing, unable to say what I thought as I knew my life would become a living hell if they had an inkling of my true thoughts. I had a few close shaves, and it wasn't pleasant at the time, and certainly put me off any more truth speak. Even the woman I used to love became a woke monster from hell, which was why she became my ex.
  19. So it's Trumpism, not McCarthyism. Try and get it right.
  20. The person to discuss your chances of retinal detachment and what they do after to fix it would be an ophthalmic surgeon or specialist nurse ( it they have such in Thailand ). I've attended many retinal re attachments using laser, ( not for post cataract operations ) a scrub nurse is not required and it's not a sterile procedure as the eye is not opened, but never spoke to anyone that had one after, so don't know what the result is like.
  21. I was a scrub nurse. Cataracts only have two people at the operating table- the surgeon and the assistant ( me ) handing over the instruments as required and operating the machine used to do the operation. I must have assisted at a few thousand cataract operations in my time, with a great many surgeons.
  22. If talking private, "affordable" does not necessarily mean good. There is no reason to assume a Thai public hospital is not "good" when it comes to surgery. The deficit would likely be in having to have ones own caretaker as the post op nursing seems lacking in my wife's mother's experience ( my wife had to sleep under her bed to look after her ). Whole families camped outside the hospital.
  23. One thinks that you do not understand what "culture" actually is. It's not the ability to kill people one doesn't like, but a way of uniting a people to live peaceful lives together.
