and you say that on what basis? 
 
do you know the woman or her family or are you just spouting your own prejudices?
 
by the way the question is rhetorical

Difference is she is the one who is going to do it. She isnt asking for help from anyone. Maybe you missed that bit

Actually, they have found like 2 or 3 places selling sex in Pattaya over the last 2 months.. I imagine that Pattaya will be totally cleaned up by year 3000.

She doesn't need an excuse. She works hard for her money and does no harm to anyone. Instead of listening to other people's excuses you might want to work for your money like she does.

I remember being told by a "lady of the night" here in Thailand that she allowed herself to be the "play sextoy" for the Farang to feed herself.....I asked her did she eat regularly in the Hilton?      That is a true story.

 

In the end everybody wins. The girl gets her expensive toys. The boyfriend back in the province (or here in bangkok ) gets his booze and gambling cash. The farang gets a hot young girl that wouldn't even make eye contact with him in his own country.

I guess the only people getting screwed in the end is the family back home stuck raising whatever kids the girl has generated in the process.

 
It is the time honored excuse for all wrong doing. In her case that is minimal. However if you ever get introuble - I did it for my family. Just keep repeating it!
 

and that's an 'excuse' is it?
My son is 5 years old, he earned quite a bit of money from an Hitachi advertisement and he wanted to spend some of it to buy me a car... sadly it was only 75k and he wanted to buy a Porsche...
Isn't this kind of desire normal? What kind of family do you come from?

If I had a nickel for every time I've heard the "help my family" excuse, I'd have enough money to help my family. 

Will "insulted sprits" be the official cause on the death certificate? 

The fact that BKK is on that list and MNL isn't, is proof that the people that came up with the list have no idea what is good and what is bad.

That said, Changi is an awesome airport.

The airport has it's issues, but there's no way it's 9th worst in the world. I'd have to agree the study is suspect based on that ranking.

Why would you assume he cannot borrow in America? Because he has loans with a German bank?
 
would you assume he can't get a Ford because he drives a Porsche?
 
Married  a Slovenian woman , can't get an American?
 
how about you?  Living in some third world hovel because things were so great in your home country?
 
 
 
 

 
We were talking specifically about Elon Musk. He already made his money. After that he, by all accounts, has a dual purpose: to improve society and make money doing it—if only to show others that it doesn't *have* to be either/or

Making contributions to society is irrelevant. Making money is the name of the game. If it happens to improve society so be it.

I can imagine telling the investors "I know I lost all of your money, but I made a contribution to society"

That's living in fantasy land. Business is business. It's not a charity.

"People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That's why a little hyperbole never hurts," Trump wrote in his 1987 best-seller The Art of the Deal. "People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular. I call it truthful hyperbole. It's an innocent form of exaggeration — and a very effective form of promotion."

(Trump - The Art of the Deal)

 

Trump has always played loose with the truth. He has always employed his lies, exaggerations, and half-truths as a means of attracting attention to himself. And it has always worked. Until it continued to "work" in a manner that he didn't like. Lying/exaggerating as a means of self-promotion are more or less benign in business, so long as you are not committing fraud (like with Trump University). However, when you are running for office and asking for basically unlimited power, you can't expect a tactic like that to go unchallenged. And the one thing Trump can not tolerate is being challenged. He has to win.

 

He started his campaign lies all the way back in 2011 when he was toying with the idea of running against Obama. The press called him out every time. He despised that, which formed his hatred of the press. It has never been the press being malicious. It has been them refusing to allow him to pass off his BS as the truth, so they have persistently gone after any and all claims that he has made, the result being his almost incalculable number of falsehoods being exposed. Now, the orange one has labeled the press as "an enemy of the people". Dictators do that. In banana republics. Not politicians who recognize the First Amendment and strive to defend it. No President has had an amiable relationship with the press. But Trump's over-the-top adversarial relationship is of his own doing.

 

And his followers lap it up. Lemmings.

It's one thing to call him out on lies, of which he has many.  He lies constantly as do all politicians.  It's something entirely different when the media starts doing the same in retaliation.  They are no longer the unbiased media IMO.  They have become entertainment, the same as the Kardashians.

Texas Man slaughters innocent animal

 

Jim Bob Jones of Mineral Wells, Texas caught a 23 inch bass on Possum Kingdom Lake west of Fort Worth.

 

 There's how the media works when it comes to Trump.  He's declared war on them and they've taken up the challenge.

Please, oh wise one...do tell. What about the headline is misleading? Is the number factually inaccurate? Is the fact that he is in debt factually inaccurate? Or, is it within the realm of possibility that you skimmed the headline and ignored the article entirely, far too eager to rush to the comment box and toss in your thinly veiled allusion to this being "fake"?
 
See, had you actually read the article, you would have discovered that the figure comes from a disclosure form filed with the Ethics Office, likely by Trump's attorneys. So, the only thing that you have succeeded in doing is revealing yourself to be nothing other than one more rather sad Trump supporter who can not tolerate anything negative being said about your orange messiah.
 
Next time, try working with this formula...read first, then comment. Hopefully, you won't wind up sounding so ill-informed.

Another misleading headline from the obviously biased media.

yes it is.
 

"He has been charged wit theft during the hours of darkness."

Is stealing after sunset more serious than stealing during the day?

When it expires does he need a new tattoo?

Exactly. Maybe they don't want to be found.

Both parties have a vested interest in keeping the flow of illegals coming in to the US.

The right to serve their corporate masters and supply them with cheap labor

The left needs the Hispanic vote to survive. They can't count on the unions any more because they basically are a shell of their former selves. Michigan went from Trump in the last election which speaks volumes.

There are people who are in the process of attempting to adjust their status who are being deported.  

I'm pretty sure filing adjustment if status stops all removal proceedings until the case is adjudicated.. If the AOS petition is denied then the deportation case resumes.  Even then it takes years. 

Bottom line is they're illegal. If people have a problem with this, there's a process in place to change the law. 

You can't choose to enforce the laws you like and ignore the ones you don't.
