Perhaps he is thinking philosophically, as in no person owns the land as Nature does and we just think we do. Anyone thinks they own a bit of dirt better hope a volcano doesn't erupt under it.

IMO Thainess is just doing things the Thai way, in preference to other country's ways, unlike some countries that seem to think the US is the leader in culture.

There's a lot of that indoctrination about these days- MMCC, Wokeness, PC, feminism to name but a few.

LOL. Do you think the secret service is going to accept trying to function in a real jail? Not going to happen. At most, IMO, is house arrest in his mansion. I have to wonder at the wet dreams some posters have on here.

You seem to be trying to score points at the expense of clarity. I have very little idea of what you are saying, and you lost me at the red pill. BTW if there is a pill to take to DGAF about western women as living with/ marital possibilities I must have taken it about 40 years ago, as one was one too many to waste my life on. At least with the farang bar scene in LOS one knows up front how much it's going to cost, without being dragged through the emotional mire till the inevitable ending when the guy gets taken to the cleaners ( as the saying goes ). An average 50 year old woman is still getting a dozen hits a day on her ad. Every western man needs a good slap if they even consider the possibility of hooking up with some well used woman that probably comes with brats. Don't get me wrong, I worked closely with hundreds of western women, and like them as platonic friends, but as lovers and wives 55555555555555555. It's no wonder that thousands of western men hop on a jet plane and head to the Land of Smiles, in preference to trying to find one they like back 'ome. You're also obsolete. No woman on the apps will even respond to someone describing themselves as a "moderate", since that's code for Trump Trash trying to pass as a centrist to get a date. In your native land, you are a sexual untouchable. Your comical fealty to that gold toilet owner who wouldn't hire you as a bell hop amuses them. Are you broke too? Probably. I see that Trump really must live in your head, given how often you just have to bring him into play. BTW do I see a spot of superiority complex in evidence there?

While some of what you say has merit, IMO the western nations, the UK, EU, USA have painted themselves into a corner which will be difficult to escape from. By going all in at the start, they are now facing an indefinite war and the cost of supporting the Ukraine is starting to cause populations in financial doodoo to question if it is worth it to continue. If they stop now, they will have considerable amounts of egg on faces, and have to explain to an angry population why they wasted so much treasure on a lost cause ( IMO without western support Ukraine will have no option but to negotiate a "peace" that does not favour them ).

What consequences would they be? The much vaunted Ukrainian counter attack seems to have had few successes, and General Winter is coming.

Given the destructive power of the atom bomb, it was irrelevant if there was a legitimate target or not. They were always going to destroy large numbers of civilians. IMO they were an example- surrender or this will happen to every Japanese city. I fully support that they were used, given the atrocities carried out in China by the Japanese, and if they saved thousands of US soldiers from death, well worth it, IMO.

Amazing thing in western countries is that women complain about men without ( or choosing to ignore ) understanding just how skewed the system has become towards their benefit. They have invaded male spaces- clubs, schools that used to be boys only, and are proportionately more represented in media than men are, but would scream to the heavens if men invaded their spaces. Look at the careers they desire, the law, politics, medicine etc, all of which are powerful, but require little physical strength. I'm happy I won't be around to see how it inevitably ends up, being a mere male, and of no consequence in the brave new world they are building.

I wish I had had one as I could have just walked away from my wife- it's of no legal standing. You'd have to ask someone that had one about that.

Same reason many western couples get married in church when they are not religious- tradition. Some of us don't always follow tradition though.

I have.

That could be alkathene water pipe which is in common use on NZ farms. It is safe for drinking water. I don't think it's acceptable for use in houses though.

I assume main supply pipes are the larger diameters. Anyway, we all know that such as colour coding is an unknown standard in LOS, given the number of electrical wires using the wrong colour I've come across. There is a very good reason for using different colours for different purposes, but in LOS it's Mai Pen Rai, till it all goes horribly wrong.

Thought I'd look up google to see if there is a colour code for water pipe in LOS, and google didn't find anything, so I guess it doesn't matter in LOS. Of course, in western countries there are different colours for every purpose. All the plastic outflow pipes I've seen in NZ are white or grey.

Just because it gets used for everything doesn't mean it should be.

None of the Thai workmen my wife employed should have been allowed to do the jobs they got paid for, as incompetent. The gate they welded hinges on fell off the next day, the "electrician" didn't know what an earth was when installing the shower heater, the village "electrician" that melted 10 meters of cable, and lots more. Whatever they did I had to redo it after they left.

Blue is generally used for clean water supply, so better to use some other colour for drainage to avoid confusion later. If the existing drain pipes are blue, that's down to lazy workmen not caring, IMO. Of course the local home supply may not stock anything else, in which case when in Rome.................................

The Afghans didn't have tanks or any modern fighting equipment. All they had was a willingness to die fighting a superior force. Still, IMO the only reason that the Russians withdrew was because of Gorbachev.

Sorry, but I don't remember what "facts" you posted and given this is on the Pub subforum, I don't take anything on it seriously, especially the OP.

Are you talking about the dems?

I had to think about that and I don't know if Merkel has left yet. I hope so. I could google it but who cares anyway?

I've been following it on Al Jazeera and the response has been lacking. According to google, Saudi Arabia has only sent two plane loads of supplies. Why no military men to assist? Even Egypt has done more. Very sad news that apparently a bus load of Greek helpers was in an accident with dead and injured. https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/libya-says-four-members-greek-rescue-team-killed-road-accident-2023-09-17/ Four members of a Greek rescue team en route to the flood-ravaged city of Derna and three members of a Libyan family were killed in a road accident on Sunday, the health minister for the Libyan eastern government said.

Has the US government ever NOT reneged on any treaty with Native Americans? I doubt any treaty will save the land this time either. Greed rules these sad days.

Just in time to see car battery technology move away from lithium, LOL.
