If that were the case you would likely have to deny entry to 80% of the Russians that are currently in Thailand.

As the daughter of a billionaire she was likely never questioned in the entire course of her life, she's experienced nothing but coddling and getting her butt kissed 24/7, so this level of scrutiny has to be very new for her, and extremely uncomfortable. And that is a good thing.

Sounds like she had some very serious parental issues, when I used to date, by the second date I would always ask the woman to tell me about her relationship with her folks. It was very enlightening. I wonder what this woman would have said. Well, we never used to have a good relationship, but they haven't been around much lately.

Fairly easy to talk about the greatness of Russia and the greatness of their president when you have quite a bit of money and the ear of the president. It is called being a sycophant. It's a whole different reality for the average Russian and for the guys being drafted to kill Ukrainian women and children. Seagal is long passed his prime, he's a bit of a creep, and he does not speak with much credibility.

I have a lot of issues with many of the policies that Harris had as Attorney General of California. However the important thing to realize here is that the death penalty is not a functional punishment in California, the appeals process can take as long as 30 years and it can cost the state as much as 60 million dollars for one inmate, during that appeals process. The second thing to consider here is that you cannot discuss Harris's past without discussing Trump's past, the draft deferrments, the five huge bankruptcies, the Trump University thefts, the felonies that he's been convicted of, and the billions of dollars that he's stolen from small contractors. There has to be some equivocation here. We are talking about an attorney general who made some bad decisions, versus a career criminal and a morally bankrupt grifter, who is one of the greatest scam artists who has attempted to seek the office of the presidency.

The prime minister further suggested that cohesive governance was in the national interest, cautioning against questions that might incite division. In plain speak what she meant to say is I am the daughter of a billionaire, I am very privileged, typically I'm treated as high society, and now that I'm in the public realm I don't appreciate being questioned. All of you need to show a greater sense of fealty, and realize that we have no interest in engaging in and open and frank discussions here. These press conferences are window dressing meant to convince the most naive amongst the population, that Thailand is a functional democracy.

It's just plain old assault, and it deserves maybe a year or two in prison. That might help him with an attitude adjustment. The fact of the matter is Thailand just doesn't need tourists or expats who are of the very low caliber this freak, who are like rodents lurking around underground in the sewers. If they ever do decide to adapt lowlife as part of the dictionary, they can have a picture of this tiny little man.

You just can't take the complaints of thin-skinned people with either overblown egos, or low self-esteem seriously. It's comedy, anything goes in comedy, and if somebody takes offense to it, it doesn't matter. It doesn't mean anything, it's comedy. Get a life people. Stop taking yourself so damn seriously.

It doesn't matter if it's legal or not, the real question here is why would you want to rent from somebody who has no interest in dealing with you? It's not like there's a shortage of supply here, there are so many apartments available, why not deal with somebody who's got a good attitude?

Absolutely. I don't think a Harris administration would be ignorant enough to impose massive tariffs, like the ones Trump is proposing. The consumer ends up footing the bill, making it a huge tax hike. Xi has to be afraid of these proposals. Though, he likely enjoys the idea of the tariffs making America's economy weaker and raising inflation.

As I've said many times in the past I have major issues with Trump and Vance. I do not have issues with his supporters, I do not have issues with conservatives, I understand why they want to vote for him, I understand that many of the issues they have are different than mine. And that is totally valid. Some of my best friends and some very close family members are conservatives, we have dialogues, and when we discuss politics it is done with mutual affection and respect. When we start degenerating into a hateful mob, reduced to insults and memes, that's when we really have a problem.

I completely disagree about Putin, Orban, and Kim. Trump is such an easy mark, those guys have Trump in the palm of their hands, Trump is at their beck and call. Same with MBS. Xi does not want Trump. His massive tax hikes (tariffs) will harm China. And America.

Exactly, and my guess is that it never even occurred to the cheapskate to donate money to help people in need. To call him stingy would be an insult to the stingy people of the world. He's way, way past that.

Because the numskull has gone out of his way to make her an enemy, because he can't handle criticism, he's so soft, and so weak and so pathetically insecure, that if someone says one unkind things about him he completely unravels. That's why we're mentioning her, that's why we're comparing the two.

Trump doesn't know the meaning of charity and goodwill, and it's against the every fiber of his being to do anything to benefit humanity. He's all about tearing things down, not being of help.

Nuclear weapons are an absolutely horrific thing and let us hope that they are never used again. It's is an incredibly complicated equation as to whether or not the US should have bombed Japan with nuclear weapons. If you look at Japanese history in Korea, Manchuria, Nanking, Bataan, and the Pacific theater, the astonishing level of brutality that the Japanese engaged in was something for the history books. It was a spectacularly dark period and era for Japan. As early as the summer of 1943 it was fairly obvious that Japan was heading towards defeat. Right up until the end, even when they were on their knees, broke, and losing virtually every battle they engaged in, the extremists in Japan like Tojo and Umezu, still refused to give in. Was there a choice? That's a very difficult question.

This sure says a lot about the Democratic Party and their selection of Harris, she should be up by 10 points or more considering what a lousy candidate Trump is, considering how often he puts his foot in his mouth, considering how often and Vance shoots himself in the foot. But she continues to languish, she continues to have a very hard time finding a coherent message, and the dems continue to lack any sort of policy message. Not that Trump has much of a message besides hating non whites, supporting genocide with Israel, and raising taxes in the form of tariffs. Trump does not have much policy either, and he is an incredibly dangerous, hateful and reckless man, and the last person in the world who should be president of America. Such is the very sad state of America that it's reduced to two very poor choices. However at least one of those choices is not a convicted felon and a lifelong huckster and scam artist.

This is a spectacularly ignorant man howling into the wind like a absolute fool. We are not responsible, I have not contributed to these problems, if they exist at all, and nothing that I do could possibly have an effect on some place as large as the earth or it's vast oceans. And since we have multiple alternative planets it doesn't matter if we foul Earth to the point of no return we can just shift to another planet. So stop picking on me and stop asking me to take responsibility, because I won't. Plastic is not harmful and I won't make any attempt to cut down on my use of it. Gas vehicles are not harmful and therefore I will make no attempt to drive one that consumes less gas, or to use a bicycle, or even a motorbike. I like gas guzzlers, and my luxuries and private jets, so again I ask leave me alone. Let me wallow in my own ignorance, please.

However, Virintra remains optimistic about Phuket’s diverse tourist base, attracting visitors from Russia, Europe, India, and China. And this is exactly the problem, Thailand is attracting lower quality tourists these days. On a recent trip to Phuket all I saw were Russians, Arabs, Indians, Malaysians and a few Chinese here and there. Barely any Europeans, Americans or Canadians. The market has completely shifted and it's not a shift to affluent tourists. Combine that with massive over development and the influx of Russian and Chinese gangsters and you have some major problems.

Only the tiniest of men abuse women physically in any manner. It takes a real special kind of monster to beat up on a woman, hopefully he will be sentenced to a very long stint in the slammer, where he will make a lot of good friends who will treat him warmly and treat him like the tiny man that he is.

I don't follow contemporary pop culture and I don't listen to her music, so I cannot be considered a fan, however I think a generous and charitable spirit on the part of a very wealthy and successful person like Swift is wonderful and should always be applauded and appreciated. I know many devotees of the fake master will try demonstrate fealty to him by politicizing this, but the reality is it's a kind-hearted thing to do and her heart seems to be in the right place.

Any man coercing a young girl like this deserves an extremely harsh punishment, however it should be exceptionally harsh when it's a young relative. That is just beyond the pale, preying on your own family is just demonic.

Any man who comes from the West, decides to settle in Thailand and decide to settle down with the Thai woman, can decide whether or not he wants to be on a short leash. In my particular case that lifestyle never worked so I was just very honest and up front, early on. That wasn't the lifestyle we were going to embrace, I was not going to be tolerant of jealousy and possessiveness on the part of somebody that I was with, and though my woman didn't understand it at first, she sure did after a while, and we have both benefited from a great deal of Independence and neither of us is on a short leash, and it's very pleasant. I recommend that lifestyle to any emasculated man, however if you come here and allow her to dictate terms to you and then later decide that it's not working your only option is to leave, because once you allow her to become a monster there's no turning back, so it's all on you! Be a man or be an obedient mouse. Which lifestyle do you care to choose?

I don't know if it's a loophole but it is certainly very convenient and it does bypass a lot of the hassle and expense of dealing with the bar girl. Sometimes I will just approach a massage lady that is really hot, and before we even go upstairs I'll negotiate the entire package. Once you lay down they kind of have you at their mercy.

Only you would bring up a topic like, this we can always count on you to be partisan and we can always count on you to be somewhat hostile towards half of America. The reality is that though we don't know much about the actual incident that took place, but he has admitted that he slapped a woman, and there is a bit of honor in admitting to a past issue and event. When you compare that to the party and the filthy politicians that you support, they never admit anything, they always deny and they always attempt to obfuscate, and deflect. And they have so many skeletons in their closet they could be New Guinea Highlander cannibals. Where is the honor in that?
