  1. I've been there and though I did meet some friendly people, I found a lot of people to be like cold wet fish, very unemotional, very detached, not particularly pleasant to be around and certainly not possessing the level of lightheartedness and humor that Thais have. No thanks. I love it here.
  2. The Ukrainian and Israeli wars were already a huge drag on the world economies and a cautionary tale that affected consumer confidence and tourism worldwide, and now we have the possibility of another war from the "no new wars president", one that could last 20 years and cost the US trillions of dollars. I believe it was a huge mistake for the US to drop those bombs, many analysts are saying that they destroyed the tunnel entrances and nothing more and that virtually all the enriched uranium has been moved well in advance. So it's quite possible they resulted in nothing but of a war leading to multiple terror events within the US over rje coming years. Iran is a far greater adversary than Iraq or Afghanistan, that should not be forgotten.
  3. There is a very simple solution to this, just leave the house with some cash in your pocket! Who would get in a taxi without bringing some cash, and why would someone expect the taxi driver to patiently wait at an ATM while you withdraw money that you should have had to begin with? This is just another example of self entitled snowflake culture.
  4. A lot of nutters on the road these days, another reason to be careful and calm, and maintain your composure. Getting angry and acting out just does not pay in this day and age, it could result in all kinds of problems for you and your family. And this is not limited to Thailand though many are going to use this as an excuse for Thai bashing. I've seen this in America, it may not be as bad but it happens a lot, as people are very stressed out and unhappy back there these days.
  5. This is precisely why casinos should never be built in Thailand. Billions of dollars will be spent and the next administration will change their mind, the inconsistency and policy from one untalented administration to another should be a huge cause for concern when it comes to both domestic and foreign investment and holds the nation back. Legalizing cannabis was a good idea, if people want to get high let them get high, it's a stimulus for the economy, alot has been invested, and the regressive dinosaurs just don't understand much.
  6. Everything about this goon is completely fake, even the book. He is a fabrication. Yet, so many buy the hype.
  7. Are crossbows even available in Thailand? Never seen one here.
  8. One has to hope they were wearing face masks for the pollution and dust and not for covid prevention. Wearing a face mask on a motorbike to prevent covid is about as effective as wearing a turtleneck in January in the Alaskan Tundra.
  9. A note to the weaklings who have succumbed to the woke mind virus. Men don't get pregnant!!
  10. The bar is so incredibly low for this pathetic administration that this guy is getting praised for NOT leaking attack plans. That says a lot about bottom of the barrel appointees.
  11. I wonder if the highly revered mixed race movie stars have to go through all that nonsense?
  12. A very, very weak maniac. Real men display dignity if a relationship is not working out. Thanks for the good times and have a great life. I am out of here. See you.
  13. He didn't even write that book, it was ghost written, and even the guy who wrote the book for him later called him an absolute creep. Trump could not negotiate his way out of a paper bag, and all the hype around his ability to negotiate is completely manufactured.
  14. Alot of guys fall in love with the idea of being in love. And they devote their heart to a woman who is undeserving. So, the best course of action, if to take you time to get to know her. Time allows clarity. If it is good it will only get better. If there are problems (such as the ones you are describing), they will manifest themselves over time. This is why you do not allow yourself to get emotionally invested, until you know who she is. That takes a year, or two, or longer. If she shows you she is not worthy of your affection, and attention, you walk away. Man up. Pay tribute to your gender. Show yourself some self respect. Do not allow yourself to be abused, and treated like a street dog. Just walk away and don't behave like a desperate fool.
  15. Braggarts. They love to let us know how clever they are and how much money they have made.
  16. What you really need to bear in mind is that your quality of life is going to improve dramatically once you leave the land of the bitter, the overpriced, and the lonely, and come here to the land of laughter and light-heartedness and a reasonable cost of loving and living!
  17. My guess is a talented negotiator could resolve this in a few meetings. Assuming both sides are interested in settling this. It's quite possible that the Thai army is trying to justify their position and build up eroding confidence on the part of the public, in addition to trying to create reasons for the massive amounts of money that they're sucking out of the treasury every year.
  18. A ridiculously silly underestimate of Iran's wealth, and willingness to use that to rain terror upon the west and upon the US in particular.
  19. Well we knew there were going to be repercussions and blowback, and I believe the blowback is only starting and it could last decades. Iran is a lot more powerful than Afghanistan or Iraq, and Trump doesn't know who he's fooling with. Let's call the increase in gasoline prices and inflation the Trump taxes.
  20. I disagree, I think it's still an incredibly forum, I think there are a lot of knowledgeable and articulate members who post valuable information and I think it's always been forum for us to vent and complain. However I think the real difference is that MAGA has made many people more divisive and they have reduced a lot of supporters to being gullible whiners and snowflakes.
  21. This useful idiot is also being a puppet for the extremely dark and sinister deep state, who control whoever is in power. One thing is absolutely certain Trump, is not making the big decision.
  22. We have a lot of choices in life and many men actually choose to be emasculated and subservient.
  23. Always assume all social media is the enemy, and treat them as such. Alot of people are an open book online, and that can't be healthy.
  24. One can only hope this works out. This could end up being Trump's Vietnam or Afghanistan, a 20 year war costing trillions. The difference being that neither of those nations had the kind of money that Iran has, nor the oil reserves, and the kind of international influence when it comes to terrorist organizations. The secondary aspect of this is that Iran has one of the most talented hacking teams on the planet so the amount of misery, damage and terror that they can rain down upon the US Mainland is unfathomable. Trump of course doesn't know this because he's not someone who possesses any vision, he never reads anything, nor does he pay attention to his intelligence briefings. So he lives in a blissful state of ignorance 24/7, but some of us know better. I'm not a supporter of Iran, nor am I a supporter of terror, however the way Trump goes about things is always wrong, he never gets it right.
