Trump's strategy to delay trial may be winning
thaibeachlovers replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
Are you being deliberately provocative, or are you unable to read/ comprehend properly? Trump is not "my man". -

5555555555 That's probably because more illegals are arriving now that when Trump was POTUS. Next. -

She's either too dumb to realise what she did, or she doesn't care, IMO. -
Israel losing global support over Gaza bombing, Biden says
thaibeachlovers replied to CharlieH's topic in The War in Israel
I wasn't aware that Jordan and Egypt were still "enemies", or does that not fit the narrative that israel is "surrounded" by enemies? -

Because he is a buffoon with real power to mess up people's lives. -

After WW2 the Americans didn't spend the next 3 decades oppressing the Japanese or Germans. After WW1 the reparations demanded by the allies resulted in Hitler's rise to power. See the difference? Oppression leads to resistance. -
The Children of Gaza = More than 7000 Killed.

He's not the one that killed over 7,000 children. -
Can we at least try to post on topic. If that's all I'm going to get I'll ask a mod to close the thread.

Had a bad day and taking it out on others?

You cared enough to waste pixels on that rather nasty post. Sad.

Do you believe in God and why
thaibeachlovers replied to ivor bigun's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
If we stop and consider how insignificant we are, we might think differently. Only a few giants of history are remembered and the rest of the countless billions of us since the first human evolved are naught but dust. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust indeed- religion does get some things right, and the message that we are as nothing in the cosmic experience is well worth remembering. Sadly, humility is very much lacking among humans who think they are special. Amen. -

You know I didn't, but IMO ego is the opposite of conscience. Walt Disney used to put a devil ( ego ) and an angel ( conscience ) on a characters shoulders and the devil would try and convince the character to do something bad and the angel tried to dissuade the character. I have exactly that scenario many times. Most recently when looking at a Christmas pudding with caramel sauce. The devil saying "it's OK to eat it at Christmas, and one sugary treat won't hurt". Obviously the angel was saying"you know you shouldn't" The devil won! -
Enya. I'd get her to sign all my CDs, and sing a song just for me.

I'd recommend LOS as a holiday destination, but only if avoiding Bkk, Chiang Mai, Phuket, etc. I'd recommend Pattaya in an hotel on the outskirts as a base for visiting the many attractions in the area. The MHS loop is well worth it, along with much of the north. If he can afford it, hire a van and driver. I did an overland van tour many years ago from Bkk to Chiang Mai, and well worth it. I was the only one booked and they would only take a minimum of 2 customers, so I had to pay for the current at the time temporary GF to go along as well.

Support for Hamas grows among Palestinians in West Bank
thaibeachlovers replied to CharlieH's topic in The War in Israel
There was a Hamas 3,000 years ago? Do tell. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Philistine-people Philistine, one of a people of Aegean origin who settled on the southern coast of Palestine in the 12th century bce, about the time of the arrival of the Israelites. -

thaibeachlovers replied to CharlieH's topic in The War in Israel
I disagree. IMO they knew they can't defeat israel- only a fool would think that. IMO they sought to expose israel's oppression and collective punishment to the world, albeit at the expense of thousands of Palestinian's lives. Perhaps they thought living under israeli oppression was worse than dying. They certainly have exposed israeli barbarity to the world. World leaders and the UN are certainly not ignoring it any more. Perhaps his days are numbered, but he succeeded in bringing Palestinian suffering to world attention. Mission achieved. and we are all going to suffer if WW3 starts, but perhaps the West deserves to suffer for ignoring Palestinian oppression for so long. -

That's true. The story line pushed by netanyahu is just that, IMO a story to justify a larger atrocity. Hamas is a group, yes, it has aims and objectives, yes, but IMO it's mainly an idea, an idea that israel can be forced to allow Palestinians to live in freedom from the oppressor. As I have said before, they can kill every Hamas they can find, but Hamas, or it's successor will live on in others. Are they short of recruits? No. Every time they blow children to bits they create a desire for revenge in many that were not previously Hamas. Can israel kill them all? No. Millions of Palestinians live outside israeli reach. Will they take revenge outside israel? Do birds fly? Will israelis live in fear from this point on? IMO yes. -
I suspect this is more psychological than a desire to destroy stuff, given they spaced the attack so most of the missiles/ drones could be destroyed. IMO if they wanted to actually destroy a lot, they would send loads of drones at the beginning to use up the anti missile missiles, and then send the ones with payloads in right after them. The Ukrainians must be limited by the amount of launchers they have, which means they can only launch so many anti air missiles against incoming missiles.
