It's exactly because your side uses language like that that pursuades me your side has nothing to offer but vitriol and hatred. At least the vision he offered was one of positivity and hope for a better future, compared for the outright negativity of his opposition, and he didn't start any wars- always a good thing IMO. Given the choice between him and her, I definitely backed the right horse. Given a better choice, I'd have backed them eg Bernie. I even backed Gore against Bush. Re Trump, he's had his day and he's too old, and too loaded with opposition to achieve anything as POTUS, so I hope he does not stand. I'd hate if he took votes so a Democrat wins in 24.

I remember a lot of that sort of argument ranting from back then, but IMO they were not from Trump supporters. Still going on if we read any thread ( and many threads with nothing to do with him ) about Trump. BTW, some of us remember WHY he got elected, and that hasn't changed. All that has happened is that the bad actors have made it about Trump, so they could carry on with business as usual.

Smoking weed maybe more dangerous than you think !
thaibeachlovers replied to Social Media's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Perhaps you should abide by your own mantra of "to each their own" without attacking other posters you don't know for posting personal stuff you don't know about, because you don't agree with them. Perhaps your own long term use has made you think you know the intimate details of other poster's relationships from a short sentence. Bye. -
Be like me and put empty decorated boxes under the tree. Makes for a pleasant looking scene without being subverted into the commercial perversion of Christmas. Christmas actually had nothing to do with Christianity as it was a pagan festival co opted by Christians Pre Christian Germanic people celebrated a winter festival called Yule. The Romans celebrated the birth of Mithra, their sun god On December 25th. Santa Claus origins are, of course, nothing at all to do with Christianity. As for Christmas trees- 4th century BC house decorations

To all those just waking up to another Christmas day, have a happy day and hope for a better 2023 than the 3 years past that we endured. ????

I gave that a laugh as it's laughable. I gave little information about him, yet you extrapolate it to accuse me of knowing nothing about a man I was friends with for over 20 years. The effects of long term use of weed are quite well known. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_effects_of_cannabis According to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, there is substantial evidence of a statistical association between cannabis use and the development of schizophrenia or other chronic psychoses, with the highest risk potentially among the most frequent users. -
You had a wedding dinner! Luxury. Given my wife and I had been living together for a year it was just a trip to the amphur office and back to normal.

Probably because they asked her. Agree to whatever they want, so long as it's for show and you get it back. That takes care of the "face" thing.

LOL. Talk about generalisation!!!!!!! I didn't have any sort of party for the village, or family or family friends. It was up to us, not anyone else to decide. I did go to live in the village shortly after getting married and not a single villager asked me for money, either directly or through the family. I did leave the village before I intended, but that was because of a problem with the sister in laws 2 sons , and nothing to do with any villagers. People walking in and out day and night...particularly meal times. Never happened. The old village bidies liked to gather under the house to gossip, but that was as far as it went. She will probably be keen to build a home there That at least did happen, but she had more chance of flying to the moon than me building her a house. Re the OP, the guy needs to tell his intended as to how much he is willing to pay for a party ( it's not a wedding in the western sense ) and then stay out of it. Let her do her job. Too many farangs seem to think the woman they are marrying is too simple/ thick/ ignorant/ etc to take care of business. If she can't, then it doesn't bode well for the future.

Why is the UK struggling more than other countries?
thaibeachlovers replied to Scott's topic in World News
LOL. Did you forget that Russia also has nuclear missile submarines? IMO any direct attack on Russia by NATO is the end of Europe, including Britain. -
Ah, but he didn't start any wars, did he, so not a threat to world peace, was he! The only thing I take away from the committee is that they must be terrified of Trump coming back in 2024 to go to such lengths to stop him standing. I don't want Trump to stand again either, but that's because he would likely just get the Dems re elected to POTUS.

British woman breaks nearly every bone in face in Thailand
thaibeachlovers replied to webfact's topic in Koh Samui News
The ones I felt sorry for were the bargirls clinging on behind a moron farang tourist riding a big bike far too fast and likely never ridden a bike before. Must have been a tough choice- make money to pay rent or stay safe. BTW, they were not wearing a helmet because apparently only the driver has to wear one. -

Travel by taxi is normal and covered. Travel by m'bike is not normal and is dangerous, so is usually treated separately for travel insurance. I've always paid extra for m'bike cover. I'm pretty sure it would apply in the event of using a m'bike taxi as well.
