I think that's a very extreme and highly judgmental reaction, wouldn't a pedo have assaulted the girl? Wouldn't a pedo have molested her? There have been no claims to that effect. So far all I'm hearing about is high levels of stupidity, on both his part and her part.

Well I'm not saying that that's not a possibility, and I'm not trying to imply that that's not what he was doing, as it's very possible. But it's kind of like saying smoking ganja leads to doing heroin. We just don't know, we don't have the facts. 50 years ago behavior like this was considered absolutely normal, these days even talking a young girl is considered totally impermissible. There is a chance that though stupid, and very reckless, that this was very innocent. You completely ruin a guy's life for committing a major crime, but not necessarily for making a really dumb mistake.

Well there's two morals to this story, number one is don't be mouthing off to your neighbors or to strangers in general, as the consequences can be quite dire. The second moral to this story is try not to kill people, it's really not a good idea to kill people, unless your life or the life of a family member is in grave danger. We should all try to avoid extreme stupidity at all costs.

That is a very valid point, and just one more reason why I argue that the US should be more judicious with their support of Israel, as some of their policies are quite extreme. The world has a lot of hatred for Israel at the moment and by extension the US and the UK.

I am a very big man, I am above the law, any and all laws, can't they see that by now? As hard as they've tried they've never been able to put me away. I can do anything I want. I can walk down 5th Avenue and kill somebody and they won't be able to put me away for that, so I think they should just accept that and stop coming after me.

We are in complete agreement about that, it is beyond idiotic, it's downright reckless, but if the girl is not pressing charges, and if the girl is not accusing him of trying to get her naked or have sex with her, then certainly that has to be taken into account. Charge him for recklessness, or being stupid, but don't charge him for pedophilia. That's a game changer, charges like this have to be very carefully considered, as it will completely destroy the remainder of his life.

If you watch the clip that I attached, it very clearly states that as of now the tax code allows a gift to your spouse, of up to 20 million baht per year. It cannot be carried in, and it must be wired from overseas. And you would have to be quite creative as you're not entitled to have direct benefit from it, but he does say that if the home is in her name for example that paying the mortgage or paying rent would be permissible.

If you are over 5'9", I would suggest looking at either a Honda ADV 160, or a Yamaha NMax. I prefer the Honda. It is around 100,000 baht. They're bigger bikes, they have a bigger frame, the suspension and tires are safer, and they are a lot more comfortable. Especially if you plan to have a passenger. They are a bit more expensive, but not to a large extent.

Thailand is likely the best place in the world to live alone as an older man, if you have enough cash that is. At that point you have so many different options. I was in Singapore several years ago and I happened to be staying in the red light district unintentionally, just happened to find a halfway decent hotel at a price that wasn't an arm and a leg. One day my woman was busy with one of her girlfriends and I just started wandering around. I ended up at a food court and it turned out that a lot of the working ladies from the area were eating there. I was sitting down having something to eat and I noticed this man who must have been in his 80's, who was just surrounded by a bevy of gorgeous women. They just kept on walking up to him and hugging him and kissing him and sitting down with him and being very affectionate with him, and it was just such an incredible scene to see that I just assumed the guy must have been a centi -millionaire. After a while most of the women cleared out and I was finished with my meal and I wandered over to him and I said hey can I ask you something. He spoke perfect English I asked what is your deal? I mean you've got all these gorgeous women surrounding you, lavishing you with attention. What's your deal man? He started laughing he said you know something, my wife died about five years ago and she was the love of my life. I was really bereft for a couple of years, I didn't know what to do with myself and I wandered down here one day for lunch and I bought one of these girls a bowl of soup. The next day she came back with a couple of her girlfriends and I bought the girlfriends fruit shakes, so the next day they came back with five of their friends and it's been like that for three years now. He said I come here seven days a week and I spend a few hours here, it cost me maybe $200 a month, but I get so much kindness and so much affection and so much attention from these beautiful young girls. He said it's the highlight of my life and the only reason why I want to continue living at this point is to be around these lovely, charming, delightful angels. He said I adore these women and they adore me I never get with them, I don't have any interest in that, I just love the affection, love the attention and he said this is my paradise on earth. Great encounter. I will never forget that man, and his approach to life. Talk about an 86 year old stud! I contrast that to an experience I had in a strip bar in Los Angeles many years ago. I was chatting with a stripper from New York, who was quite nice, about NYC and we just started talking about some of the customers that were hanging out. There was one guy who was probably 70, and he had two girls on his arms, he was chatting them up and hung out with him for about an hour. I asked her what's the deal with this guy and she said oh that's Eddie, yeah he's comes here about twice a month, I assume that's after he gets some kind of pension check and he just hangs out with the girls, he never gets with them, never does any lap dances, nothing. He just hangs out with the girls and seems to enjoy the affection they show him. I said do you mind if I asked about what he spends each time and she said yeah he averages $800 for 60 or 90 minutes, each time he comes. What can one even say to that?

I think the answer is quite obvious, it's called body language. There have been so many times when they've appeared together, where she has absolutely refused to hold his hand, where he's tried on multiple occasions to grab her hand and she swatted it away, where she refuses to make eye contact with him, where she is never smiling and looks very unhappy, and I think it's all quite obvious. Just ask yourself something, if you were a woman, and were with this man would you be happy? There were many reports prior to his victory as president that she was dreading the possibility of him winning, and he was repeatedly assuring her don't worry I'm not going to win, this whole thing is just a game.

I am all against any kind of child abuse, and I think that even attempting to have sex with a girl that young is is absolutely heinous. But they did come right out and say that he held hands with her and hugged her, so there was no sex. No nudity. Nothing horrible happened, as far as we know. Granted, taking her back to his condo was improper, and very poor judgment, as was holding her hand and hugging her. The guy is obviously not normal, but is he a pervert? Is he engaging in child abuse? Did he molest her? Those are all very serious questions that need to be asked, and they need to be answered in a rational fashion. Society is way too quick to pronounce judgment in a situation like this. And these are the kind of judgments that can completely destroy a man's life on multiple levels.

They are 100% deductible, up to 10 million baht per year, as long as they are sent from overseas. As of now, anyway.

There is a whole subculture in this world, who absolutely refuse to work for a living, and instead like to prey on those who are vulnerable, naive, dumb, and easy victims. It is our responsibility to be careful, prudent, willing to do some vetting, some research, some due diligence, anytime we part with cash. Especially online. Dealing with Ebay, Lazada, Amazon is one thing. You have recourse. But, dealing with Facebook vendors, Instagram, Youtube, Line, dating sites, or any other social media, the scammers outweigh the real deals. People get taken every day. I get junk emails offering me at least $100 million a month. Darwin was right. Some people just do not have good skills to survive and thrive in this world.

These monsters do not deserve a new home. They deserve to be put to death, and the sooner the better. They are terrors, and there is little chance of reform, as they have demonstrated what they are capable. Murder.

Attacks are all he has. No real policy to speak of, convictions, dishonor, and four disastrous years as president. He does not possess the creative juice to adapt, and that is absolutely killing his campaign, at this point. He is headed for the greatest humiliation of his lifetime. He's old, he's tired, he's now the oldest person to ever run for president, he's feels like he's 85 or 90 right now, he seems to be losing interest, he seems to be losing the plot, his message is getting tired, he has no ability to dance on his feet and be creative, and adapt, and he just seems to be disintegrating before our eyes, which is a beautiful thing to watch.

I do not suspect he paid the doctor. But the judges and the lawyers are a whole different story. Either way, it is a sad outcome.

Well talk about a thread degenerating into a Tit for Tat, that didn't take long. I suggest if you're going to post a thread, especially one about weak men, that you try to figure out a way to generate thicker skin. I do agree about PC. I despise it. And there are alot of SIMPs out there these days. Who cares? I just ignore their nonsense. It doesn't seem to be taking hold here, as most Thai women have rejected Me Too, since they know that their strength comes from their femininity. Kudos to them for that.

I always book direct with the airlines. Not only is the price usually the same, but it is far easier to change a ticket.

You are stuck on partisan pedantics. Frankly I don't care, I have been advocating younger candidates for years now, and I think both Trump and Biden are way too old. I wanted him to step aside or be replaced, so I got what I wanted. Unfortunately you're still stuck with the oldest guy to ever run for the office of the presidency. And on top of that he is on a serious downward trajectory, in terms of mental capacity. Which makes him very, very dangerous.

You can interpret it anyway you want but I am fairly certain he bowed out voluntarily. I think he simply understood that there was no way forward for him to win, and rather than lose the election he simply bowed out with grace and humility. That is just who the man is. This is likely something that Trump would never be able to comprehend. Selflessness.

The economy here is in very rough shape. Alot of people are pulling back and spending less. Thailand might have been the tiger of SE Asia a decade or so ago, having been the 22nd largest economy in the world, but those days are long gone. So, I would say it would be safe to refer to Thailand as an up and coming country, these days. Assuming they can get it together, and put things back on track, which I seriously doubt will happen, I would not be surprised to see Thailand in 75th place in terms of GDP, 20 years from now. There is absolutely no doubt the nation is moving backwards, on at least a dozen levels. And unless a dynamic leader like Thanathorn or Pita is allowed to head the nation, the great tiger will continue to devolve into a whiny little street cat. The people need to take action and rid themselves of the goons. ASAP. Whatever it takes. The economy is in the toilet. No hope in sight. And no plan of action from the retrograde brigade. They are in so far over their heads. If only they would man up and admit it. And with the heinous CCP subsidies, it is harder for Thai industry to compete. Kasikornbank is correct. These goons have succeeded in sabotaging the nation on a dozen levels. They have turned the roaring tiger of SE Asia into a whiny, anemic, weak, broke, frail, infirm, paranoid, timid, fragile, rabid, sickly, alley cat type creature. A once important and vital industry reduced to ashes.

I simply cannot wait for that day, there are likely hundreds of millions of people around the world that would like nothing more than to see this huckster and career scam artist, finally imprisoned for his misdeeds and crimes.

I don't think I have would have responded very well to her hostage tactics I likely would have broken one of her windows to get out of the office. It's a fairly bizarre incident.

Well good luck in Spain, I recommend staying out of the medium and large cities as the people there are revolting against what they perceive to be a flood of tourists. But since you are so wealthy I don't think that this is going to affect you too much. Live long and prosper. See ya!

Biden was not thrown under the bus, he very graciously stepped aside knowing that his chances of winning were diminishing by the day. If Trump had any honor he would step aside and make way for somebody who could actually beat Harris, but we know that's not going to happen. The sad march of the convicted felon scam artist continues.
