  1. Well, perhaps you should have stopped after this: "Why? The guy was a total pillock who eventually backed down and was arrested." And saved your proselytising for when you get back to where you come from... 😊
  2. This guy is so stupid, it actually looks funny. And then we the obvious is stated, a given individual, of a given skin color, and of a given race, the word racist just pops up. We are trying, trying... How many times have I said to individuals of such characteristics back home, newly immigrants, that their behavior will affect the perception that the host country has towards all the others visitors of the same background. They simply do not care, or are unaware that their behavior is unacceptable, or simply because they cannot change anything, it is deep rooted in their culture....
  3. You might very well be wrong. A minimal amount of poison, is still poison, and more and more lethal as we age. Just the way it is. I never used sugar in any of my cooking before I got here. And was just stunned when I found out about it. No more Thai food, and no more signs of arthritic symptoms. And I have been testing the effect of sugar on my body since then. Fruit is fine. Refined sugar is a trigger for some pains in the joints. I feel better now that I went back to my regular cooking habits. And my friend who joined me here with his GF, said the same thing. And I remember him saying; "I thought I was eating healthy here".
  4. By asking a cook to leave out the sugar, it will only get you a meal without refined sugar from the bowl that they all keep aside. But then the customer will get the sugar that comes from that bowl of refined sugar, and that was previously added to the sauce prepared for meals. If then if the meal does not require such a sauce, there are so many bottles of sauces that they all use, and that comes from Minimart Super Cheap, and that typically contain some 20% of added refined sugar. If a cook says that there is no sugar in the meal, is that they do not know the content of the sauces that they use. Just about nobody reads what is in a bottle of sauce. And certainly not a Thai cooker... (I do not even use the word 'Thai cook').
  5. You eat poison, and then complain about the results. Perhaps stop eating sweets, and this would also include no more Thai food, as it is just about all laced with refined sugar. How harmful is refined sugar? A diet high in refined sugar is associated with numerous health issues. For example, multiple studies have linked consuming added sugar to a higher risk of obesity, diabetes, and unhealthy blood triglyceride levels. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/refined-sugar Refined sugar intake is linked to conditions like obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. Yet, it’s found in a variety of foods, making it particularly challenging to avoid. This is why I have stopped eating Thai food. No more.
  6. I presume that you mean Thailand, when you refer to 'this uncivilized country". So then you wonder why I have something to do with Thailand. If this is correct, well the answer is that I have traveled quite extensively, and I ended up visiting Thailand. As I used to study Buddhism, I thought this would be after all the best country for me, given that I thought then that since there is no snow here, and that I thought the food was good, and after meeting a girl that I started living with, that of all the places that I have visited, Thailand had a lot more to offer. Then I realized that the food was a danger to the health, all the refined sugar, that I never knew was lacing all the food here, after using bad cheap oil to a temperature leading to oil toxicity. And I thought ok, I will just start cooking al my food, as I never use refined sugar. Then I realized that the Thais identify with Buddhism, but that in reality, there was nothing in the culture that came even close to the precepts of Buddhism as taught in the books that I read. And then when I was riding my motorcycle with my GF, she regularly told me not to look at male rides, that it was too dangerous. She was right, two times that I looked at another Thai driver after a near miss of collision, they turned around and wanted to fight because of that. So ok, I taught that Thailand still has a lot to offer, so i simply followed the advice of my GF. Better since then. And then I realized that all their signs of politeness were actually fake. Just words of politeness, but actions of belligerence after a look that they do not like... And that people in uniforms used the most words of politeness, before and after trying to obtain corruption money. Some strange politeness. And do not get me wrong, I did obtain a service in exchange for a brown enveloped. Found it great. Got justice in this service, no need to pay a lawyer and going to see a judge. Was cheaper, hehe. So my apologies, I just wrote too much, trying to answer your question.... Ok, another lesson learned.
  7. Well thanks for pointing out that the civilized countries are now tainted by the culture of newly arrived immigrants, from uncivilized countries other than Thailand. Thanks again
  8. Well how about: if he was in a civilized country that is not based on fake words and gestures of politeness, the youths certainly wouldn't have beat him up to this extent.
  9. Can you show the contradiction, I would appreciate. I am saying that they do work together, in co-operation, AND I add that some IO's will have some different rules.
  10. You should reword your post, to read: "Agents were completely unnecessary FOR ME. But sometimes, they are a sine qua non. Now that would make it correct....
  11. They are not owned by IO's, they co-operate, under rules that differ (simplified and reduced) from a do-it-yourself approach.
  12. Highly depends on which Immigration office you are dealing with. Some will do their best to keep you using an Agent, to keep their money flow going.
  13. And again your focus is on the individual, rather than politics and outcomes. We all know now that US politics lately has become a choice of the lesser of 2 evils. Now let's go back to politics, and we can see that recent polls show Biden as the worst president of the US. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/dec/6/joe-biden-brings-rear-poll-best-worst-u-presidents/ And now if we can focus on outcomes rather than the personality of Trump, we can see what type of leader he is. Biden would never do such a thing. Did not even take a look the borders. Trump will. And now the voters focused on what they find better politically, and voted for Trump. And yes yes yes, Trump might not go to heaven...
  14. Well, there is a reason why employers hire illegals to do the hard work in building. Because it is hard work.
  15. You will go at any length to support your made-up narrative. Your level of brainwashing is alarming.... Instead of attacking anything that does not fit perfectly with your narrative, just try for once this approach: 'Ok, let's just wait an see". Then take a deep breath. And enjoy the day....
  16. Hehehe. I also think that tattoos are some willing mutilation, thinking that these tattoos are going to be perceived as beautiful. But tattoos look good only to the ones with the ink stains on their skin........
  17. I do the same. I do not think that I am stupid. My reward, I would hope, is when I die, that I would be able to keep a good spirit, thinking about all the people that I have helped, financially or otherwise...
  18. You are about as off-base as they come. Just surmising what Charlie Kirk would have replied....
  19. Thanks for your exception that confirms the rule. Tobacco smoke stinks badly......
  20. In a country where so many men think that tobacco smoke is so so much better than air.... Thai food, with the bad cheap oil, heated to the point of toxicity, then adding some refined sugar to make sure that the food at least taste something, leading to being recognized as food, let alone on top of a positive list, is nothing short of amazing.
  21. That is what I like about Musk. Always has a very polite way to express an opinion...
  22. "where the suspect reportedly accused the victim of staring at him in a confrontational manner." And again, the culture here of forcing kids to WAI at adults, showing that kids are inferior beings. Creates a culture where men are still kids in their mind, and waiting for any opportunity to show the world that they are adults, and that they will no longer tolerate staring and confrontation, as if they were still kids.
  23. And I will say it again. This culture must do away with he fake polite expressions, and get the parents teach politeness, the way it is done in civilized countries. Children here are taught to say polite words. But they are not taught how to be polite, what politeness really is. That one's freedom ends where the freedom of another starts. That politeness is expressed not with words, but with behavior.
  24. Well, the culture here includes doing anything that might make someone avoid taking responsibility. And regardless of how many signs of politeness are uttered, this does not make for a polite society. "In various situations, polite individuals actively listen, show empathy, and demonstrate proper etiquette.".
  25. Just about always about someone going too fast... The lady crossing the road, hummmm. Maybe not
