? Are you claiming that Trump was saying he wants to commit a fraud? Even for Trump, that seems somewhat erroneous.

I agree that both are too old, and IMO too divisive, too risky to vote for. If anyone wants an example of how broken America is, just look at who the two current candidates for POTUS are. In what sane society would such a thing be allowed to happen? Where are the candidates offering a bright and shining future for the country?

You seem to believe that having a college ( is that American for university? ) degree equates to increased intelligence which is a nonsense. Some of the most stupid people I have known had a ( university ) degree, and visa versa.

Never going to happen without some provision for mandatory health insurance along with it. Thais are sick to the back teeth with foolish farangs that arrive without and end up being a burden for Thai hospitals. As for your premise, it may be too late. 20 years ago absolutely, but Thailand just wasn't that good any more when I departed for the last time. I'd still go back, but that's because of my history with the place.

You assume that tomboys are "better" by being female, but I'm certain that there are as many rotten females out there as rotten men. I know, because I met a lot of rotten females at work.

LOL. Women are great at faking it.

Luckily for all the medical staff on the planet, a broken bone, a heart attack, a stroke etc can't be cured with the placebo effect.

There are apparently Roman references to a man that fits that description, but it's irrelevant to what followed as the western "Jesus" is nothing like a man of that region, if you hadn't noticed. The Jesus of religion is probably nothing like the reality. He is a symbol for religion, not a real man, IMO.

Do you believe in "LOVE"? Can you scientifically prove that it exists? I think not.

So what? It's a western conflict and if you hadn't noticed Thailand is no longer a western lackey. If they want to make a few $ by servicing Russian aircraft good on them for not drinking the western propaganda Kool aid.

I know it may not help, but when I had my root canals ( many of them ) done I was so relaxed that I fell asleep ( I didn't take any drugs ) and they had to put a block in to keep my mouth open. I am by nature an anxious person, so that was not because I didn't fear it, but because there was no pain at all, after the injections worked. I suggest asking the dentist to use a topical numbing agent before the injections to make that painless as well.

I think that is some sort of veiled insult, but I'm not cowering, only accepting facts that Ukraine is running out of ammunition and men. You didn't respond to my assumption you will be volunteering to join the Ukrainians, so I assume that's a no then. On the other hand I did volunteer during Vietnam conflict, though it ended for us before I was sent.

The ICJ has no power of enforcement, so any resolution to do so has to go to the UN, and the US will veto it there.

Just out on Al Jazeera. Is any comment needed about such a vile atrocity by israeli troops? https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2024/2/29/israels-war-on-gaza-live-mass-killing-of-children-in-slow-motion-ngo At least 112 Palestinians waiting for food aid killed and 760 wounded after being shot at by Israeli forces in Gaza. “Life draining out of Gaza at terrifying speed,” says UN aid chief Martin Griffiths on aid seeker attack, as death toll in Gaza crosses 30,000-mark. Meanwhile in the US. One wonders how many deaths of Gazan's is acceptable to the US? https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2024/2/29/israels-war-on-gaza-live-mass-killing-of-children-in-slow-motion-ngo The Biden administration has said that “too many Palestinians died today” after Israeli forces opened fire on a crowd of people waiting for food assistance in northern Gaza. History will judge israel and the colluding western governments, and it will not be kind. Any more such massacres of defenseless people and even gutless western governments may not be able to turn a blind eye any more to israeli attrocities. One can only hope

Are you referring to a "dee". Tom's are pretty obvious as they try to look like males, to a certain extent. Dees would be more problematic, though all the ones I saw with Toms were DDG.

I'm glad you included that, as belief in religion does not cause people to behave better. IMO that is something completely separate from belief in God. I didn't give up a well paying career to become a nurse because of God. I was agnostic then. I've also never equated a belief in God with a better world. Religion has been the bane of the human world since the first man put on a funny hat and told his tribe that he could intercede with the gods in exchange for some food.

I understand that, so why did you mention the extra 3 million voters Democrats have? Were you talking about something else?

IMO "opinions" have no place in classrooms. Pride propaganda can be taught at home, not in a classroom where vulnerable young people might think it's normal. I know some teachers and I thank the deity that none of mine were like them.

LOL. 54,000 likes says other posters disagree with you.

Thank the deity that actual voter numbers are meaningless with the Electoral College then! The founding fathers foresaw just such a situation and wrote something in the constitution to prevent it.

There is no doubting which side's propaganda you believe.

I certainly had an authentic career in nursing, but I tried to use it for information purposes on AN, and not when trying to prove geopolitical strategy without any actual proof other than my opinion. So I might describe the result of a prostate operation, but I wouldn't use it to prove that Trump was a Russian lackey. On the one hand the side effects of a prostate operation are readily available on the internet, but proof that Trump is a Putin glove puppet is somewhat lacking except on biased opinion pages. It's not a case of being envious, but of being a reliable source of information.

I remember making one of those plastic model kits of a big gun the US had to fire tactical nuclear warheads when I was young. I also talked to a guy that served in BAOR that said they expected to live about five minutes after a Soviet attack started.

Soooo, "someone" just found the plans lying around, in a toilet perhaps. It's like no one remembers the well worn tactic of planting fake plans where the enemy can find them to deflect from the actual plans. I'm not saying they are fake, but the US intel community thought Saddam had WMDs, and look at how that turned out. I wonder if they gave up looking for them yet.

Even propagandists make mistakes.
