  1. So, surely you saw the famous clip of him mocking and imitating a handicapped reporter... he was shaking and waving his arms about pretending to be retarded,,, "I don't Know. I don't remember" -- he said in a weird voice. Did you look at that and think - "That's my man! That is what I want in a president?"
  2. I knew a guy who could not get out of Immigration detention because he had no money - the US Embassy refused him the $$ and only would call his relatives in the USA who eventually bailed him out - he was surely destitute... maybe if you have assets to pledge, they will lend you the money...
  3. Think that there are very insecure men, who feel suddenly powerful because they can whack a little ball with a club and it flies so far... look! look everyone, how far I can make it fly!!! See what a powerful manly man am I...
  4. my brother had one of those big old mansions in Pelham and was paying $45k, per year in taxes in the 90s... he sold out partly because of the taxes and I think the school district was so bad that he had to send his kid to private schools.. it sure is an easier life here...
  5. Rich women here would not be his target audience.... they would look down their noses at any poor guy... he would be as useless as hauling coal to Newcastle...
  6. Yo dude - he goes by the name of Brit Man - I don't think he is American - and then you would have to find out which country in America - Canada? Not yet the 51st state - just playing hard to get I assume..
  7. I always owned my own home fully paid off but it was never free and clear - it barely felt like ownership as the taxes could be raised out of sight at any time... as well as energy costs.
  8. I have not watched US TV in many decades... even as a kid in the USA I didn't watch that much. I liked Mighty Mouse and Million Dollar Movie... Never watched the Simpsons but if I take them, what would I do with them?
  9. Anything is possible, but as noted above, love and romance here is not often the same as the Western World - the word practicality has been used and this is mostly correct. The other aspect that I did not see mentioned is that Westerners tend to hang on to the romantic notion of "love" that we all had as teenagers... there are not only cultural differences but age differences that come into play and I mean age differences in that the boyhood concept of love is not as prevalent in older people - that is for most, a time of life element that has passed. I don't know how much finances is a requirement for everyone, but most Thai ladies are not really interested in an equal partner that they might end up supporting in times of illness. If you do prove yourself as a good supporter willing to take care of them and their family, they may come to love you and respect you, but again not in a teenage, moon, June, spoon way. But, with minimum income, what will you do for health care? I have seen guys here who survive on little, living in Thai style apartments for $100 a month and eating cheap street food, but this lifestyle is not attractive for most Thai ladies. In many ways for poor Thai, it is still a matriarchal society and they look at having a husband as someone they need to take care of, and this should be compensated. One lady who wanted me to introduce her to a farang, after a moments thought, told me she didn't want a husband who needed too much care... [she did not ask for someone young or handsome or any of the things that most Westerners consider important. No mention of romance. But, what do you want? Vietnam era would put you in your 70s or late 60s at best. Do you want a 70 year old lady? I know some fairly attractive late 50 year olds and even a few 60+ but they are not seeking the hard work of a farming life - what do you have to offer them? They do value kindness and goodness, but generosity too...
  10. Very correct - and being broke anywhere is not where you want to be...
  11. It's a good thing you mentioned what you won't mention and then mention it...
  12. Do you not understand that these are wild animals?
  13. Or maybe still owning but not near a potential disaster site...
  14. just come over and let it happen... wherever your new found partner is from is a good start.
  15. If you had half her business acumen you would be doing twice as well... I am 90 kgs - how about you meathead? Yes, I do have diabetes. So, you hit it - 20% - not bad for you...
