Yer your right James---and after the election-not one of these discussions on here would have changed anyone's mind.
It was about 20+ years ago when the Dem's refused to accept the result of the election & took it to court etc,.
The Hanging Shard or something -( I actually thought they were right on that one) I was quite friendly with 2 yanks at the local gym then, these guys had actually gone to school together (1 wife dies the other divorced)
& they came out here same time-- They started arguing about this "Hanging Shard" & it turned physical, 2 old age pensioners rolling around on the gym floor --over what politician should be in power--How sad.
I left Pattaya about then to go Issan--but was told about 12 years latter one had died & his boyhood school friend still refused to speak to his Thai wife or go to his funeral.
