  1. If you really want to see what is in the depths of the hearts of men, put them in a car with tinted windows and watch how they drive.
  2. Are cars legally required to stop for a pedestrian crossing a zebra, or is it "up to them"? Not unless there is a red light at the crossing. However, unlike the West, here is Thailand it's a matter of self-preservation. If you believe you have "the right to have cars stop for you in a crosswalk!," you may find yourself being shipped back to your home country in an urn. Even at crosswalk with red lights for oncoming traffic, I always look and keep an eye looking in the periphery of my vision in both directions, even on a one way. Well - unless you're up to winning a Darwin Award. By the way, if you really think that you're "In The Right" and insist on walking in front of a vehicle in a crosswalk and get hit and end up in the hospital, unlike the West, you'll more than likely end up paying for most of your own hospital bills and there isn't going to be any civil suit where you get paid for your "pain and suffering." This ain't Kansas anymore Toto.
  3. I have no interest at all in women of European descent. If you have one of those? Feel free to keep it. I like LBFMs. Have for decades. White chicks are lousy lays anyway by comparison. Yet they think they're god's gift to men. It must suck to come all the way to Thailand if your a white chick and find out you can't get laid by anyone but some Thai guy. <laughs> Ha ha ha ha ha.
  4. It worked out so well in 2016, let roll out the "Ruskies Are Stealing The Election For Trump" again!!! "We all HATE Trump, We all HATE Trump, So let's take a DUMP, On Donald J. Trump." 💩 Wash, Rinse, Repeat! 🧔‍♀️"I'm Hillary Clinton and I endorse this message!"
  5. Any restaurants serving brown rice? Gag
  6. I don't look at the price. I just buy it.
  7. Thai Baht Exchange Rate So Low How Are You Dealing With It? Seen it down around 29 more than once. I don't worry about it. Thailand is going to debase the THB, just give it time. Heck, they're now borrowing THB in order to pay the interest on the national debt. Don't worry - it's a self-correcting problem.
  8. "We all HATE Trump, We all HATE Trump, So let's take a DUMP, On Donald J. Trump!" 💩
  9. Never before has the Earth has temperatures this hot. Only by outlawing cars and farting and meat and super-gluing our T&A to the highways can we avoid this Earth-ending crisis. 🌏 "Eek!" *This doesn't fit the proper narrative. It must be censored. The hottest year in recorded history!!! Ever!
  10. It never floods this time of year. This year is different. Melting icecaps are causing massive flooding in Thailand for the first time in recorded history. 🙈 "Eek!"
  11. The media says it was 100% fair, so it's 100% fair. Exact.mp4
  12. Being intoxicated on cannabis is bad for your health, but being intoxicated on alcohol is fine. So cui bono, who benefits? Cannabis: The Wealthy - get to grow it. The Commoners - get to distribute, package it and sell it. Both share in the revenues and profits Alcohol: The Wealthy - get to distill and brew it, package it, and distribute as monopolies. Makes most of the revenues and profits. The Commoners - get to sell some of it retail. See the difference?
  13. Allowing wealthy investors to reap cannabis profits while destroying the earning capabilities of the lowly commoner-classes trying to make a living running a retail outlet. This is how it's done ppls.
  14. Once a year including full cleaning, servicing, and Freon check/top-off. Clean the filters myself.
  15. The incident is not the first of its kind, with locals comparing the aggressive tendencies of the taxi riders to that of a mafia gang. Ya don't say?
  16. I'm an independent with no dog in the fight, and from my vantage point, both the pro-Harris-Leftist-Democrats and the Pro-MAGA-Republicans are both out of their minds and there is no reasoning with either side, although both sides will point at the other side and yell obscenities and call the other side every vile name in the book and insinuate that "the other side can't be reasoned with!!!" It would be pretty comical if it wasn't so freaking sad.
  17. Absolutely - if either Trump or Harris wins the US Presidency I'm going to leave the forum! 🤔 "Hummmmm..."
  18. So for everyone who has been freaking out recently about a "strong Thai Baht," given the signal to begin borrowing and increasing the size of the Thai budget (then add in the 1/2 Trillion THB vote-buying give-a-way) I can imagine that the THB is going to weaken significantly next year. Of course, the game seems to be to see how fast countries can devalue their currency and get to the bottom of the fiat debasement basement first!
  19. Where's he headed? Australia?
  20. Thaksin Plans Electoral Changes to Counter Move Forward's Rise That's called "A Free And Fair Democracy." Lawfare is all the rage now worldwide. If ya can't beat 'em, outlaw 'em.
  21. Well stated - Exactly It provides an outlet to allow those Thais on the margins of society a way to earn. I know many Thais who works jobs and then at night or on the weekend will run a vending stall somewhere in a minor or major city. It provides additional income. If anyone doesn't believe that Thais are generally hard workers - at least those in rural Thailand who are Boomers, Gen-X, and Millenials (the younger folk are unfortunately a different animal: think - "yaba") - then think again. Given the current economic problems in Western countries like the US, if people were allowed to set up street vendor stall nowadays I believe they would to help make ends meet. However, unlike in my lifetime when I was a kid who did run "Lemonade Stands," in today's over-regulated Western nanny-states it's generally illegal to do so without so many permits and inspections and taxes that it would be next to impossible to make a profit as a street vendor. With that said, Thailand look like it is taking steps to over-regulate this source of income for Thais as well. Push impoverished Thais further into poverty and watch what happens. Hell, there at two lines in "Chaat Thai" that expressly states what would happen. "Thais Love Peace - But....."
  22. The Unbearable Lightness Of Thai Logic Two plus Two equals Five Therefore Two Hundred THB plus Two Hundred THB equal Five Hundred THB (฿400 in revenue and ฿100 in a brown ✉️ for 👮‍♂️🚔)
