IMO it's all about inventing new taxes. I don't think they care much about individuals except at elections.

The only thing I'm sure of in that is that Biden will get a pass from the MSM, while if it was Trump they'd be roasting him for it.

It's only an opinion if you include something to make it an opinion. You keep saying things like WILL, which indicates that you claim it as a fact. You need to stop making things up and claiming they are facts.

Soooooooo, you are OK with exploiting people so you don't have to pay what those services should cost. How noble of you.

Does no one think to look with google? About 519,000 results (0.26 seconds) https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=cost+of+a+basic+cremation+in+thailand How much does it cost to be cremated in Thailand? More seriously, a local cremation around here costs one or two thousand baht but the cost can increase based on what the family want, extra;s such as flowers, laying in state for a week, a formal burial with lots of people/parking/seating etc all cost more. FWIW I'm planning on 5k baht for mine.31 May 2017

If Thailand is part of the central banking system they probably know how many times you use your toilet Seriously, IMO all the banks are connected to the government now because they invented that "money laundering scam. Soon as they find out someone is dead they just put the name into a computer and voila. If they weren't before, now farangs are liable for tax they certainly will be.

You really are a funny guy. You should take up comedy for a living.

Anti Trumpers were saying that Melania was going to leave him when he was still in the WH. She hasn't. This time she seems to be staying out of it, so she learned something, and good for her to do so. At least Trump doesn't need her to stop him falling over, like Biden, who had a firm grip on his wife's hand when walking back from the podium after his last speech I saw on the TV.

Yes.

I'm sure there used to be something at the start of the sub forum to say no politics, but I can't see it any more, so perhaps it is allowed now.

First place I'd look is to see if the money for construction was "diverted", and shonky products used instead of the proper ones. Swampy had a lot of problems due to shoddy products being used, but most of us know why that was.

Soon as a death is notified I understand the bank accounts are frozen. Only way is to give her the money now, or prepay. Does Thailand use corpses for medical training? If so, get into that program, don't need to pay anything. I told my relatives that if I died in LOS they were ignore any mail from Thailand so they couldn't get roped into paying.

The "leaders" of the EU must be worried that they are going to get the boot from their cushy jobs when the right wing parties get voted in because of the illegal immigration fiasco.

The problem with a personality cult like anti MAGA it’s victims become so dependent logic or reason cannot penetrate the edifice of lies that constitutes the remainder of their identity.

How can the left be “anti” a slate of myths, tropes and curated propaganda? People can debate issues, but only on a basis of facts.

Your link is inappropriate as those of us that choose not to be on that diabolical site are unable to read it. Anyway, I thought social media is not an approved source.

An extra thought. I assume the original fine was levied against Simpson as a "punishment", so how in the name of the deity is trying to get the money now, after Simpson is dead, "punishing" anyone. Seems it's all about the money, money, money. I can't see how their son could have been worth a hundred million to them if he had lived. I can see that if he was supporting them, that they have a case to be reimbursed for the money that they didn't get, but a hundred million, LOL. IMO it's about the G word.

LOL. What could possibly go wrong with that?

Is that completely true though? The judge issues instructions for the jury so they can't decide against that, I presume. I don't know if it's true or not, but I understand a judge can overturn a jury decision if he has cause.

Nah. Lets scrap human courts altogether and use AI, which will judge on the evidence and not emotion.

Here we go. Biden may yet get his very own Middle East war. However, I don't expect Iran to fall into the trap of attacking israel directly, and IMO they are more likely to attack the colluders in the Gaza fiasco- the Americans. Plenty of US bases all over the place to attack. They may, however, do just enough to keep israeli defenses at full strength, which will cost the israeli economy dearly, and will keep the troops from being deployed elsewhere. Reports on Al Jazeera that a very high ranking US military man is co ordinating with israeli government to counter an Iranian attack, so are we likely to see US boots on the ground now? Given the situation has escalated due to israel attacking Iranian territory ( in violation of how many international laws? ) in Damascus, I don't see why the US has to get involved, but could be all going according to plan. This is like slow walking into a regional war, and I expect those responsible already have the propaganda machine ready to go to justify why many thousands of people had to die. I just hope that Jordan, Egypt and other local Arab countries do not get involved in any actual conflict, and do not allow their territory to be used or transited by israeli forces.

Seems to me that most of the women and children have been killed from above, with bombs. The pilots just have a target to drop the bomb on, and will not know if the people in the building have been warned and got out or not. The people that are responsible for killing women and children are those that allocate targets. One hopes that an arrest warrant from the ICC will be issued for them, but one is not holding one's breath.

LOL. He can't have tried very hard to find that news. Re western MSM not reporting the children being murdered killed along with the adults, I'll take your word for that as I don't bother with them unless searching for something specific. I get my Gaza info off Al Jazeera, and they definitely mentioned the small children.

I guess you never went to Chaweng in the 90s then. I stayed there a lot last century, and every morning when it was cool I walked along the beach with a plastic bag and filled it with garbage washed up, mainly from factory waste and garbage from fishing boats. Took it all up to the northern tip of the beach where I had dug a big hole, and on my last day I had a big fire. There were no buildings there back then. Every morning the staff at the big resorts would rake up the rubbish and bury it in the sand in front of the resort. Must be a lot of rubbish buried under Chaweng Beach. Back then the Ark Bar was a lovely laid back place made of natural materials, but even that went up market, concrete and horrid noise instead of enjoyable music. I suppose that is what some people call progress, but to me it was destruction of the good because of greed.

Sounds pretty much like the Thailand I've always known and I was there longer than 30 years. Money's always been the important thing. However it was better on the beaches when there were a lot less tourists. It got really bad after turn of the century when Samui and Tao were destroyed by concrete and encroachment. Phangan held on for a while, but only because it doesn't have an airport. Even little Haad Khom was destroyed after the concrete road reached it. Mass tourism is a plague to the environment. Last time I was on Samet it was a garbage tip, and Larn was infested by the Chinese horde with the speed boats and the <deleted> jet skis. IMO Thai tourism is an example of how to destroy a country for greed.
