  1. Only if they want to be ostracized for doing so. Political suicide IMO. I doubt any choice will succeed unless the holdouts get what they want. I doubt it is anti McCarthy per se, and when they get what they want he will be elected.
  2. Beat me to it. Any lingering respect I had for harry has now been consigned to rubbish bin. He knows that William won't defend himself in public, but resorted to being a slime anyway. I hope he is informed that he will no longer be welcome in England. First time I saw bridges being burned quite so effectively. I suspect harry will now be regarded as a wimpy lap dog and ridiculed. He deserves to be IMO.
  3. Given the alternative, I'm not even remotely surprised that so many reject entirely the Democrat vision. When the Democrats stop with the leftist agenda they might gain converts from the right of center voters. IMO they look at California, and say "no <deleted> way I'm voting for that <deleted>".
  4. I don't know, but I suspect it's because they are replacing humans with machines. How else could they provide the same service with so many less people otherwise? I also suspect it's a taste of things to come for many labour intensive companies.
  5. Like I said, it looks more like they are using the situation to impose conditions before allowing a speaker to be elected.
  6. I was responding to another poster. I wasn't suggesting it was an option. I do understand that it's another western person that thought they could live in LOS without being able to afford it if it went wrong. I left the country I loved and wanted to live rest of my life in because I knew I couldn't afford health insurance. I didn't expect others to assist me in a catastrophic event. I could continue, but perhaps I should leave it at that.
  7. IMO anyone kept alive only because of the machines is suffering, unless sedated. Not having worked in a Thai hospital I can't speak on specifics, but don't expect qualified nurses to be hand holding and soothing brows etc. My wife had to sleep under her mother's bed to take care of her. I had an op in a private hospital in Thailand and the only time I saw a qualified nurse was escorting a Dr or giving out the drugs. Personal cares were given by aides.
  8. Only to the <deleted> that are playing it. Not to anyone forced to listen to it, unless it's a concert that they choose to be at.
  9. A major problem of our time. Done by ignorant and antisocial <deleted> that should be locked up, IMO. Most advanced version of humanity in 50,000 years and populated by <deleted>. If that's the best we can expect for the future, I'm happy to be not long till my ending. I don't envy those to come after me.
  10. Errrr, the wind doesn't blow all the time. Nuclear doesn't depend on weather, but the greenies have sabotaged that as a viable option. France seems to have managed nuclear well.
  11. If the Greenland ice cap melts it would affect sea level, likewise in Antarctica. I understand most of the ice lost from Antarctica is floating ice shelves, so makes no difference to sea level. not leaving any offspring behind me. I have done my share! Likewise. I did the best thing anyone can do to save human's environment by not making more people.
  12. I'll have to take your word on that, but I reckon it would take more than imagining someone had that intent to charge them with a crime, like there were more than 1 person heard them say they were going to do it. Obviously Trump didn't say anything like "I'm going to encourage my followers to break into the Capitol and hang Nancy" in anyone's hearing, else he'd already be charged with a crime.
  13. Yet without a legal wedding in LOS, the woman gets nothing from the man if he abandons her, unless he chooses to give her something.
  14. Political inventions such as division of assets, alimony etc were brought in with good intentions in a different world, where wives were abandoned with nothing and ex wives faced likelihood of never remarrying a supporter husband. In an age of equality, they were subverted into a means by which the woman could get as much as possible, even if it meant ( or perhaps because it meant ) the ruin of the guy and loss of assets he paid for.
  15. Leaving aside the "climate change" thing, humans are exterminating many species because we are too many and invading their territory, discarding plastic in the oceans etc. Reducing the world's human population would do far more for the planet than driving electric cars.
  16. Floating sea ice makes no difference when it melts, so Arctic melt makes no difference. Greenland and the Antarctic are the land masses with most ice on and to my knowledge not melting significantly. Glacier ice that was floating around the Antarctic will not raise sea level when it melts. Only if the ice cap itself melts would that happen.
  17. Pull the other one, it's got bells on it.
  18. Testimony by people that dislike Trump is not necessarily factual. Unless he is actually on record as saying something it's only an opinion as to what his "intentions" were. For all we know he could have been havin' a laff. BTW far as I know, intentions alone are not a crime. One has to do something to be guilty.
  19. I doubt his mother ever dressed him. From what I gather of his childhood he was raised by servants, which was pretty normal for the upper classes back then. As for the photo, at his age I'm not surprised, but his valet ( or anyone else around that let it happen ) deserves a good slap for letting him go out like that.
  20. Isn't that exactly relevant to this discussion? If he was on 400,000 he should have a Thai family to take care of him.
  21. I have a harder opinion, but probably too extreme to post it, and your post comes close to it. Basically everyone dies eventually. Perhaps being a nurse has made me more realistic than most on here. Comes a time for everyone that friends and relations have to accept that it's time to say goodbye to them.
  22. Hmmmmm. Advocating for government to kill people based on their beliefs! I seem to remember another country long ago that tried that. That didn't work out too well for them.
  23. You must be unlucky to apparently have had someone menstruate in the bed so often. Only happened once to me.
  24. Hotel I was in was 400 baht with breakfast included. You reckon they would have paid for the mattress, LOL.
