Unadulterated greed on the part of the landlords. I always insist that I pay metered rates, and I will never rent any place where the landlord insists on making a profit on utilities. That should be a felony and landlords should be locked up for something like that. The first thing you want to ask during first phone call that you make is what is the cost of electricity and does the building generate a profit, or do they charge the actual cost?

Preliminary investigations suggest that the bus may have lost control due to excessive speed or abrupt maneuvers. If course. There is about a 98% chance that this was driver error, recklessness, a lack of skill, or just sheer stupidity, and about a 2% chance that there was a issue with the vehicle.

Not at all, the vast majority of Muslims are good people, honest, hardworking and very decent. I am talking about the extremists, I'm talking about the Taliban, Isis, and the super freak gangsters that pose as religious freedom fighters, yet engaging in gang raping, serial killing, thievery, drug pushing, and raping women at will. They are not men, they are toxic insects.

No. Buddhism is a thousand times more practical and sensible than extremist Muslim practices, which are totally out of touch with reality, the 21st century, and good values. If a woman wants to cover up, let her cover up, but don't force her to cover up, and don't try to pass off a lie that if she doesn't cover up it will create social havoc. We're talking about nothing but extremely insecure men that cannot tolerate the idea of anybody seeing their wife's, or another woman's skin. It's so pureile, so juvenile, so ridiculous, so backwards, and so beyond the pale.

I do agree tourism is a bit much in some areas. But let's go ahead and count your reply as the silliest post of the day. Surely there are a lot of tourists and expats in Thailand but there are tons of areas that barely ever see a foreigner much less have foreigners that live there, and if you subtract Phuket, Pattaya, Bangkok, Samui and Chiang Mai from the equation there are many significant sized cities here in Thailand that have very few expats and very few tourists. So none of us have any idea what you're talking about.

My favorite quote about aging and getting old. Older people are perceived as cynics and misanthropes. But, they are simply people who have at last heard the still, sad music of humanity, played by a mediocre rock band howling for fame. Do not go gently into that good night. Old age should burn and rave at close of day. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Dylan Thomas 30s is too soon. Dying in your 30's is tragic. As is the 40s Sympathy dissapates from there. 50s is such a shame 60s is too soon 70s a good run 80s a life well lived 90s - a fricking hell of a ride Ya' know what though, I don't mind. I mean if my muscles ache, it's because I've used 'em. It's hard for me to walk up them steps now, its 'cuz I walked up 'em every night to lay next to a man who loved me. I got a few wrinkles here and there, but I've layed under thousands of skies with sunny days. I look and feel this way, well cuz I drank and I smoked. I lived and I loved, danced, sang, sweat and screwed my way thorough a pretty damn good life if you ask me. Getting old ain't bad Ben. Getting old, that's earned.

Street food is good here, but you have to be very very careful. I think the two biggest hazards are spoiled meat or seafood, that's been left out too long, or frozen and then thawed and then frozen again, and left out without proper refrigeration or enough ice, and cooking oil. We don't know how old the cooking oil is here and if it's more than a day or too old it can be extremely toxic to the liver. A friend of mine just ended up with a liver abscess, and spent eight days in the hospital. He doesn't know how he got it but there's a chance that it could have been from some sort of bacteria from food. Meat and seafood are a common culprit.

When riding a motorbike or a car in Thailand, one always has to be on the lookout, have eyes on the front side, and back of your head, always looking for pedestrians, bicycles, motorbikes, dogs, cows, cars and trucks, otherwise it's just a hazard waiting to happen. If this guy had been sharp enough he would have seen her, she didn't just appear out of nowhere, so he was either going too fast, driving recklessly, drunk or just not paying attention. All of which are crimes if you're on the road.

Kind of reminds me of back in the day when Cheney was president and Bush Jr was the VP.

Her level of insincerity is only topped by her lack of talent and experience.

Many are simply gangsters, thieves, serial rapists, and thugs of the lowest order, posing as men of religion, when they don't know the first thing about religion or spirituality, and they lack every virtue known to mankind.

That is quite a leap of faith going from a woman who has a modest amount of peach fuzz on her legs because she doesn't engage in the ridiculous practice of shaving one's legs when you barely have any hair, to assuming that I like ladyboys. Wow, that's quite a logical mind you have. I wonder how you deal with daily problem solving.

Yes you're probably right about that, selecting Harris again would be truly the dumbest thing the Democrats have done in the history of the party. She's incapable, she's incompetent, most people dislike her, and I think she was a terrible candidate. Hopefully she will disappear into oblivion and the Dems can select somebody with talent and smarts, and at least a modest amount of charm. Finding somebody with at least a small amount of virtue and integrity would be a real plus too, but that doesn't seem to exist anymore in national politics on either side of the aisle.

Highly insecure men with no emotional development, and no connection whatsoever to spirituality of any kind, buy into this kind of nonsense and fear-driven politics. Oh my God, if I see a woman I might lose control, if I see an arm of a woman I might lose control. Let's keep them hidden and covered up. It is 1378 after all. These guys are criminal hooligans and absolute fools. They are truly a boil on the face of humanity.

No. I give people infinitely more credit than I give politicians. Any politician at the national level anywhere, much less in America, automatically gets a demerit and is demoted into the category of zero respect, at least until they earn it. They are all corrupt and they're ALL bought and paid for.

A note to Shiniwatra the younger, stop stealing elections from highly qualified people who are voted in by the people and for the people, and maybe we will have a chance of unity and forward progress.

I am a very big man, I am a very important man, can't you see how big the vehicle is that I'm driving? That makes me a very significant and important person, you were blocking my way, don't you know who I am? What were you THINKING, blocking my WAY? Let me show you, my vehicle is much bigger than yours. What many people don't know about me is that I have the emotional development of a 13-year-old and I have no ability to deal with either frustrations or perceived slights, and I have a very big bus, so just don't get in my way!

In a sense it's kind of a shame that he wasn't more severely injured, that would have been something that he richly deserves. This is an absolute fool who put hundreds upon hundreds of lives at risk due to the high-speed chase. I hope they lock him up for very very long time.

The amount of money that I give to charity and the poor relative to tight wad grinches like Trump and Musk, is absolutely enormous, relative to our respective wealth. Being a tightwad is not a quality. It is a human deficiency.

Trump richly deserves the criticism. Respect has to be earned, and should never be freely given.

Vance would never in a million years be elected. I have seen koi fish with more charisma. The man is an empty suit and was a terrible candidate. He is hugely unimpressive.

I am sure Hamas is quaking in their boots over the threat from the goombah.

One day. It will take me one day to end the war in Ukraine. At a CNN town hall in May 2023, Trump said: “They’re dying, Russians and Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying. And I’ll have that done — I’ll have that done in 24 hours.” He said that would happen after he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin. And he keeps repeating the claim on the campaign trail.

Why are so many Republicans so obsessed and plagued with DDS? Get on with your lives, guys. There is so much more to life than super toxic dems and Republicans.

My woman has light peach fuzz on her legs. Absolutely adorable. I love it.
