Puleeze it is your comprehension of my post that is lacking period. Go read the pdf I posted it is from OUR history. A Speech to the U.S. House of Representatives on Foreign Policy (July 4, 1821) by John Quincy Adams "If" you can understand it only then will you understand my post.... if not no problem either I am not here for your opinion nor to change it. Only to give mine alone https://loveman.sdsu.edu/docs/1821secofstateJQAdmas.pdf

They are not wrong IMO Truthfully Biden & the military industrial complex warmongers who support him are getting rich (Again) off this proxy war against Russia The arming of the Ukrainians with weapon systems billed to the tax payer of the USA are not helping but escalating the situation daily The same thing also being attempted by Biden & Pelosi in Taiwan by promising the US will step in & defend them against China?? Yet how would the USA feel if Hawaii wanted to restore their monarchy which was overthrown by the USA? And China did the same & said hey you want out of the USA? We will defend you should you so desire independence. Would the USA stand for that? Nah instead I prefer the words of John Quincy Adams back when he said about America She has abstained from interference in the concerns of others, even when conflict has been for principles to which she clings, https://loveman.sdsu.edu/docs/1821secofstateJQAdmas.pdf Biden Et al. should learn their history

Which is why one needs to know the rules of the game early on & know when to hold & when to fold as far as generating "taxable income" In your financial maze example Penelope, in Case#1 has it right & better yet if married ???? Of course in this same game you need to be free & clear mortgage wise and any other bills before 62 or when you start collecting SS Then truthfully life in the USA is quite easy ????

what bike part is this? is this a legit problem?
mania replied to BananaBandit's topic in Cycling in Thailand
Hard to say as per your photo which does not show clearly but... This is a rim brake/cantilever brake wheel They do eventually wear too thin where the brake pads rub to stop bike Could be what they are telling you is it has worn too far already & does look like it created a ridge above brake pads (again hard to tell from pic) If that is the case then that is why they are telling you change & possibly bad to inflate as that is where the hook occurs that holds clincher tire on Only real way to tell is take tire off & inspect rim thickness in that area -
23 billion baht to be earmarked for post-flood rehabilitation
mania replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Many billions always earmarked for "Post Flood" envelopes But how about earmarking billions to cure the problem from reoccurring every year? Or would that make too big a hole in the Trough? -
If the worse happens in the war, what happens in Thailand?
mania replied to Jingthing's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Actually I am not sure which comment is absurd because if we look at actual track records, In the history of mankind only one country has ever nuked another & the excuse they used was to end fighting quicker So ???? precedent has been set period. Even Tulsi Gabbard who ran for US president has now announced she has left the Democratic party because in her words... "calling it an “elitist cabal of warmongers”, So I would not call it absurd to consider who is the bigger warmonger on this stage or which is crazy enough to start MAD But as to the initial question in OP there is no point in considering it as there will be nowhere that is left untouched & your best case scenario is to be done quickly as whats left is no prize -
Yes Never happens to folks who tell the truth about any pre-existing conditions & buy real insurance from international based companies (aka: Not Thai insurance companies) I guess I know everything about this case that was reported as I read the article. Do you perhaps know something we don't? Are you trying to claim he had insurance but insurance didn't pay? Or are you just crying crocodile tears because you can relate & use that "insurance don't pay" as an excuse for you yourself not having any? In any case if your sincerely concerned hit the go fund me page with a nice donation ????

Level up the thinking a bit in my post I said "Lastly I do also have sympathy for Thailand too that has 70 million of its own barely able to afford hospitalization" The nurses & doctors do not work for free on anyone Period! Not here in Thailand on the 30 baht scheme...Not in the USA on Medicare.... Not in the UK on NHS Guess where that pay in Thailand comes from? Taxpayers that can barely afford hospitalization Ultimately not you in Thailand
-
Yeah your right I should re-phrase that...Because I do have sympathy for this mans family as now they suffer with his poor choices I do have sympathy for the expats that could eventually be affected by folks like this too because since years ago when it started getting popular to post these pleas for $$ it gets ever closer that Thailand will add mandatory coverage thru long term visa renewals Which will screw those actually self insuring with a real account dedicated to that Lastly I do also have sympathy for Thailand too that has 70 million of its own barely able to afford hospitalization now also burdened by expats "choosing to die" uninsured in Thailand or worse yet laying unconscious & their unfortunate families abroad trying to cope with the mounting bills ultimately leaving Thailand unpaid
-
I am guessing this is one of those "I self insure" guys who always post here Or the type that always say well if something bad happens I can just fly home & get treated for free Sorry 0 Sympathy????

Ukraine applies for Nato membership after Russia annexes territory
mania replied to Rimmer's topic in World News
It is funny how so many seem to think a Nuclear war between the likes of Russia & the USA is survivable by nearly anyone at all or what the world that is left afterwards would look like. Not to mention all the expats in Thailand without SS ???? That aside & as to stealing lands or nuclear usage there is one glaring fault in all this USA high ground BS One who was it that overthrew a monarchy & stole lands to then create the 50th State of the USA? Two who was the only country in the history of this world that used a nuclear bomb on not a military but civilian target ? -

I don't think I wasted my life because I always knew home base had to be safe by the time I was 60 Also I always knew I should work to live & not live to work. As a contractor I had plenty of time off between jobs... I retired at 55 moved to Thailand & liked it a lot but left after 6 years Now we are still happy & live a nice life but at times feel I am wanting more & miss some things from Thailand too, Covid made it hard because it seemed we were all wasting time for 3 years with no trips to Thailand or anywhere for that matter Now we will return to Thailand in a few weeks for our usual 3 month a year stay & we will have an extra hard look at where we want to spend the majority of our "remaining" time

Prayut given political lifeline — but what’s next?
mania replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
So they are in fact basically agreeing his time in office from 2014 till 2017 was illegal? Never Happened?? Didn't count??? -
It is kind of funny to consider the possibilities but, If anyone has ever dabbled in Astronomy & looked thru telescopes at even just "Our" galaxy we would have to say that to then say no such thing as UFO's other life etc would be akin to walking on a beach & picking up a single grain of sand & saying this is the only sand that has life on it on this whole beach Now consider the many more Galaxies that we can see & know about not to mention those we cannot see or as yet anyway Lastly the proof of life etc...As other have said how do we know we did not see already & just never considered it to be? or better yet why do we assume all life is in "our" form or likeness? There are all kinds of microscopic life around us & we accept that ..Who knows if we are not microscopic to something much bigger than ourselves????? Anyway just a interesting thing to wonder about eh?

That is what one hippie said to the other when they ran out of LSD at a Grateful Dead Concert..."These guys really suck" ????
