I see the unqualified psychologists are having a field day on every Trump thread. There isn't a reputable psychologist on this forum, as an actually reputable psychologist/ psychiatrist would never post a diagnosis without actually examining the subject. They might give their opinion, but that would be of no more value than anyone else's.

They might upgrade the services ( they had not the last time I was there ) Even the wifi access was rubbish. However, can't fix a disaster design. It's like a mad kindergarten kid was given a piece of paper and a crayon. As for the awful fabric roof, garbage is too polite a description, and they needed to install AC that worked.

Went right over your head, didn't it! Santana is the best guitarist ever. IMO. Hendrix, LOL. Lady Gaga- you can't be serious, surely? Paul McCartney made some nice tunes, but without the Beatles he was just another musician that had some success. The world isn't short of them.

Stop making it up. I have never defended Putin's actions. As usual you guys keep making statements with no basis in fact. As I already have you on ignore, there is not much else I can do about the nonsense posts.

Good news. They are heading to the right place for such heinous criminals, and hopefully there till they die of old age. I'm amazed that anyone would actually want them to stay in the US.

They made congress people understand that citizens hate them.

IMO Teslas deserve to be set on fire. Overpriced toy cars.

Do any Trump haters have a sense of humour? Perhaps Trump, when he took up residence in their heads, occupied the bit of the brain that deals with humour.

and the point of that post is???????????? We can see for ourselves what Trump is without needing posters to point it out. Do you have anything of substance to add, like what to do about it?

The travesty isn't that Trump is pulling the plug, but that the plug was inserted in the first place. Just because the US was generous does not mean that it HAS to be, or that it will happen for ever. When people have children they can't support and depend on people in other countries supporting them, who is to blame? Is it the country that supports people till they don't, or the people that should not have had children they can't support themselves?

You bring up a very important fact- drugs like antibiotics are becoming impotent and less work properly, all due to overuse and abuse by Drs and suchlike. Apparently, new ones are not being developed fast enough. If we ain't careful, it'll be like the world before penicillin was discovered.

Seems to me it's a case of politicians getting involved with armaments which they know zero about. Reminds me of when NZ made a political decision to replace the M16 with a piece of junk because the Aussies were making them on license. Took years before they got rid of the junk and went back to the US rifle.

Tech is advancing so fast it's likely the planes will be obsolete by the time they are built. Perhaps they'll even be pilotless in the not so distant future, flown like drones from far away. They might do better investing in an improved defense missile system than planes.

I'd prefer Trump to make the Gaza catastrophe end, which would end the Houthi retaliation.

Not so funny if living in the UK.

In situations like this I'm happy that NZ has 3 year terms, so we can flush bad governments before they do too much damage. Unhappily for you, Labour gets another 4 years to wreak havoc.

Nothing to say on topic then?

Do reinvent history by all means if you want to make vacuous attacks against other posters, but unfortunately for you it's all on the record. Many different sites supporting me, but I'll provide just one. https://archives.chu.cam.ac.uk/education/churchill-era/exercises/appeasement/churchill-rearmament-and-appeasement/ Churchill’s role in British defence planning and foreign policy during the 1930s is of crucial importance for any understanding of the period. Unfortunately, it is virtually impossible to look at the issue now without hindsight. Churchill identified the growing strength of Germany’s armed forces, and he was proved right; he predicted that the situation in Europe would lead to war and it did; he said Britain was far behind Germany in its programme of rearmament and especially in air power, and he was right in this too. The case for honouring his foresight and condemning those on both sides in parliament who ignored and even derided him can seem unanswerable. On a side issue, I think Zelensky has quite a lot in common with Churchill but that's for another discussion You did mention clueless in your post did you not? Zelensky is many things but Churchill, hardly.

As long as the money would be spent on arms for Ukraine I support divesting from weapons manufacturers. When it's only for weapons to protect Britain IN BRITAIN, then I have the converse opinion.

Exactly right. Just throwing more money at it isn't going to make a horrible job attractive. There is no support for the teachers, and potential teachers see that, and say "noooooo waaaaay Ho-say"

Then discuss Thai topics in the Thai subforums. I could digress on teaching in NZ if it were an open topic, but it's not.

Why is it that such discussions almost always get around to the stock market? It's not something most people get involved in. Far as I'm concerned it's just gambling for rich people that is rigged for the house ( the 1% ) and riven with insider trading.

In your opinion. In my opinion Trump is the classic result of a broken society. In other words the US created Trump to be where he is. The last election was a choice between bad and very very bad. The less bad won. What sort of insane society ends up with a choice between a flawed rich man and a cackling idiot? If we can look beyond the shouting and crying, how did US politics become so broken that no reasonable person with sane policies can win the election ( or even tries )?

Thanks for that. Every time I see something like that I'm more convinced that the western way of life is heading for the garbage bin of history. Civilizations always rot from the inside.

C'mon man, you don't know what my state of mind is.
