Something I don't understand is how they can pay smugglers thousands of $ if they are so poor they can't afford to live in their own country? Someone is paying, but I doubt it's those walking across Mexico to enter the US by other than legal channels. Perhaps someone can explain it for me?

?????????????????????? If people doing border runs to stay in Thailand get a legal stamp to do so, how is that not legit? Not a very good example to use when talking about what is happening in the US IMO. None of those people crossing the border were doing so to get a stamp in their passport.

Isn't the real point the guy that was exchanged for her? From all accounts a very dangerous guy for the US, and now even more reason to hurt the US. Every American that dies because of him is now on Biden, IMO.

I wonder if the audience was "stacked", though I don't personally care if Musk gets booed.

Did he call for the termination of the entire constitution, or just the part about elections? I read it as the latter. Obviously Trump haters claim it's the entire constitution, as it makes him look bad.

LOL, what could possibly go wrong with that in Nigeria? 5555555555555555555555

I'd swap for one in LOS in a heartbeat.

He may have been there after the glory days of Nana mid 90s as the outside area wasn't created till they banned smoking inside, but I'm sure he can tell a story or three about Nana that will never be published. Hollywood Royale was THE gogo back then ( sadly gone forever ) and I saw some sights in it that may never be seen again. Happy days back then. The other go to gogo was G Spot- an apt name for it- naked on stage, naked on the seats- a young guy's wet dream come to life. purachai, may he rot in hell, put a stop to all that.

They started the outside area after smoking was banned inside public buildings, but I don't smoke and preferred inside reading the provided Bkk Post, so never had an opportunity to chat with someone out there. That hotel was brilliant, but when it went trendy and expensive I started staying at Honey Hotel near Asoke, on the rare times I stayed in Bkk. Honey hotel was a real Vietnam war era hotel, and I quite liked it, but not being a Soi Cowboy fan I had a trek to get to Nana. IMO it was a tragedy when they demolished the Honey hotel. It should have been preserved as a museum of better times in Bkk.

I'm happy I paid to see it. It wasn't great, but it certainly was enjoyable. I had to re watch the original to see how it corresponded, and lots of similarities, but they only added to the movie. There were a few bits that we were supposed to understand, but I had to watch the original to do so, so a minor fault.

It was the best movie I watched this year, but that's not because it was brilliant ( it wasn't ) it's just that movies tend to be rubbish since covid. So, it's just better than the other rubbish out there.

It's actually a serious problem, so why am I laughing?

I've made many flight of long duration and never worn such, but I regularly got up and walked around the cabin to keep the blood moving in my legs. I always booked aisle seat to be able to do so. Up to you.

What fasting and prep for a leg problem? If anyone thinks they have a DVT don't rub it as a bit of the clot may break off. Seek medical opinion ASP.

Phuket stopped being on my list of places to go in LOS about 25 years ago, because it isn't worth it when so many far, far better places in LOS. Anyone goes there should not complain as the problems have been known for decades. I suppose it's quite good if the horde goes there though, as it means they aren't ruining somewhere else.

IMO Harry is looking pretty bad in all of this. Apparently being led around by the <deleted> by a domineering and rather unpleasant woman. One wonders if he is going to wake up one morning and scream "what have I done"?

I did mention some time ago that Charles should either not accept the crown, or abdicate shortly after. IMO Charles is not popular and such as this is just the start of attempts to remove the Crown from many countries. William on the other hand is popular and IMO the only one that can rescue the Crown from being disregarded. I know Charles has waited a long time for his chance to sit on the big chair, but IMO he is doing more to ruin the public perception of the Crown than he realises.

Playing the man and not the ball, I see, LOL.

To be pedantic, there may have been an intelligent species before the Aboriginals in Australia, but they were not humans. I've seen the genetic map that was made of the journey of humans from Africa to colonize the world, and the aboriginals arrived many thousands of years ago as part of that journey.

Given what is going on that unfortunate region, I think peace is a word I would not use to describe it. Perhaps you don't watch Al Jazeera to see what is actually happening.

WOW, he really lives in your head! I probably dislike Hillary more than you do Trump, but I don't spend my time listing the bad things she did on here.

Ah, but was it he that made it worse, or the opposition's continual attacks that did so. As an outsider, it seemed that Trump consumed the opposition so much they forgot that they were supposed to be making the country better for the people that lived in it. BTW, "opposition" applies to all that opposed him whether Democrat or GOP.

IMO fascism became popular and was supported by many millions in Europe as a reaction to the "establishment" politics. Are you surprised that present political establishments from Italy and other European countries to the US are so unpopular?

Thanks for that. I feel quite flattered that you should take such a personal interest in my on forum comments, rather than just passing them by. Have a nice day.

While wildly off topic, you mentioned it so I should respond. I care about life on planet earth, but humankind has destroyed the environment and will pay the price for doing so. IMO it's about far more than climate change, and more about overpopulating and over exploiting resources. Likely to be wars over water to come in the future. If it should come to the worst for human kind, the planet will survive quite well without us destroying the environment.
