    Its Thais who cant be assed working. Rubbish. Millions of Thais work hard- they can be found in places farangs don't congregate. My wife worked really hard. Her friends worked hard. All the Thais that I saw in shops and businesses in the NOT full of farangs city I lived in.

    You are wrong. I knew a Brit that owned a restaurant in Pattaya. Wasn't allowed to cook himself breakfast in his own kitchen.

    because Thailand is a better place to live than where we came from?

    People in LOS were happier than those I saw in London or home country. Haven't been there since covid, so I can't say for now, but I'd rather be happy in LOS than unhappy in a western country. It may be a pimple to you, but to me it's the best country on Earth.

    I thought the exodus of businesses from California was already high. Do they really want all the taxpayers to leave?

    In that case, you should support Native American studies course, with emphasis on all the broken treaties. You do want to know about the American past, and for white men to learn and progress, don't you? I have no problem with any course about anything as long as they are not compulsory. If people want a particular course they can sign up for it.

    I just hope they don't try and ram through a lot of woke policies before they get the order of the boot. We don't need more cycle paths.

    Do not want to provoke Putin more than necessary? That is exactly why they have not sent them so far. They don't want to escalate the war. So far they have sent defensive weapons, but tanks are an offensive weapon. I think one American official isn't too popular at the moment. I saw him on Al Jazeera saying that the Leopard 2 is the best tank in the world. That's going to "upset" a few people back in the US.

    Never going to happen, IMO. To take out Putin, would require authorisation from the US president, or the EU government's PMs. If that happened, it's fair game on any opposing head of state. Anyway, assassinating Putin would likely unite the country against the Allies, and do you assume that the war would end if he was assassinated? Likely it would not.

    Germany didn't have nuclear weapons. It's a different world now.
  11. thaibeachlovers
    Why are you even talking about US soldiers? No one in America is talking about sending in US troops, to my knowledge.

    Rubbish. You are allowed to do whatever you like on your home and enclosed area. What you can't do is ask to be paid for sweeping the neighbour's property. After a flood I was outside the property digging a ditch for the flood water in the full view of the city council officials that came to inspect the flood- they didn't have me arrested for it. Have a bit of common sense about it.

    Yeah, it's a great way to suppress wages for local workers. I'm with the Thai government 100% on this.
  14. thaibeachlovers
    Prove there are Russian prostitutes in Thailand or it's fake news.
  15. thaibeachlovers
    Perhaps they might be keener to return if they got a decent wage. I guess it's easier to call them lazy than to make the job worthwhile. I wish my government was as committed to supporting local workers as the Thai government is.

    Given that she sucked up all the media attention, I know nothing about the man as a person. Apparently the Labour party is so short of potential PMs that he was the only nominee for the position.
  17. thaibeachlovers
    Care to prove your "aged white redneck demographic" claim? I doubt you can- IMO BS. I guess your next claim will be that anyone doesn't like her is a misogynist. LOL.

    Successfully contain? Perhaps, but at the expense of the economy https://thespinoff.co.nz/money/06-12-2021/the-real-impact-of-new-zealands-economic-response-to-covid-19 Contrary to many assumptions, New Zealand’s economic response to Covid was among the worst in the world in terms of widening wealth inequality and the wasteful use of taxpayer funds, argues Bernard Hickey.

    No points for the way it was done. The intention may have been good, but the execution was in the opinion of many a disaster. https://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PA2005/S00061/139m-gun-buyback-a-disaster-from-start-to-finish.htm “The Auditor-General has been unable to determine whether the Government’s $139 million gun buyback scheme has made New Zealanders any safer”, says ACT Leader David Seymour.

    Perhaps you can explain why, having won a majority and an outright victory, they came to be expected to lose large in just 2 years. While I have no facts to support it, it's widely supported that many National voters voted for Labour to keep the greens out of government. IMO they are seen as a greater threat to the country than Labour.

    Had she been going to win the election, I have no doubt she'd have stayed on. Al Jazeera has a news item where she was hugging a lot of Labour people goodbye, and IMO they were as upset about their vanished prospects to win the election as they were to see her leave.
  22. thaibeachlovers
    Seems like she was pretty well respected on the international scene, despite some of the dinosaur opinions expressed above: Thankfully the "international scene" doesn't have a vote in NZ. Just goes to show that you can fool some of the people, some of the time etc. some of the dinosaur opinions expressed above: Ah, so because people don't like her, they must be dinosaurs! LOL. Call me T Rex.
  23. thaibeachlovers
    Pity she didn't discover that before the last election. Not surprisingly, she did discover it when she became unpopular and faced losing badly in the upcoming elections. Perhaps she realised she wasn't doing well when she started insulting other politicians in parliament.

    I'm not American and the US courts seem a very weird system to me ( eg suing a corporation because one thought it OK to put a hot drink where it could spill ), but as many cases seem to be "frivolous" this ruling seems politically biased to me. I hope Trump appeals and wins.
