connda

I have two houses on a rai of land. Who wants a condo?

My guess is that a lot of building throughout Thailand are structurally compromised now. But TIT, it will be glossed over with brown envelops handed out to engineering inspectors. However, when the next major quake hits, my guess is that quite a few high-rises will be collapsing in their own footprints. "Don't worry about that cracks in the high-rise condos - trust us, it's only cosmetic. Slap a little plaster and paint over it and good as new!"

All vaccines are 100% safe and effective, right? Why isn't flu eradicated?

Why do I take rabies shots? I'm supposed to be an evil anti-vaxxer, right?

If the risk is so small, then there is no need for vaccine manufacturers to be 100% indemnified and completely free for liability. If vaccines are so "safe" there is no need for blanket liability protection. They totally safe, right, so no need for government mandated liability protection.

That's propaganda. You are repeating it verbatim. That's how effective propaganda is.

This is the efficacy of annual flu shots according to the CDC's own data. Then remember, according to "experts" in 2020-2021, Covid cured the flu. Sure, of course it did. Ah-huh. 2013–2014 Season: 52% 2014–2015 Season: 19% 2015–2016 Season: 48% 2016–2017 Season: 40% 2017–2018 Season: 38% 2018–2019 Season: 29% 2019–2020 Season: 39% 2020–2021 Season: Not estimated 2021–2022 Season: 36% 2022–2023 Season: 54% People are just propagandized into taking these shots which are not even effective. Then anecdotally, I used to take employer offered annual flu shots religiously, and I came down with the flu at least once every two to three years like clockwork. Many of those cases were really bad. I stopped taking the shot about 20 years ago. I have not had the flu since! Do I see a correlation - yep. Absolutely. You couldn't pay me to take a flu shot. Or a Covid shots. About the only shot I take now is rabies shots due to it's lethality (I work with a lot of animals). www.cdc.gov/flu/vaccines-work/past-seasons-estimates.html

The Kennedy-led HHS will be kicking off studies on vaccines and autism. Imho, the first thing that needs to be done is to pull the blanket liability protection the government gives to drug companies making vaccines. There is no downside to the manufacturers, therefore they have no reason to exercise due diligence. Then there is propaganda - a sizable chuck of these companies expense accounts probably go to straight-up propaganda as well as a ton of money injected into the pockets of the DC congress-critters. The phrase, "Safe And Effective" didn't magically occur - it's sloganism which is propaganda. It works too on the weakest minds.

The TM-6 just injects a flood of data into the Thai immigration system. My guess is that they have departments that have done nothing but archive warehouses full of TM-6s. You get to the point that there is such a fire-hose flood of data that it can't be processed, no less used.

Safe and Effective!

You can buy a three bed, two bath cement reinforced with rebar house in CM for 2.5M. I wouldn't pay that much money to live like a sardine stacked next to and on top of other people. Quality construction there. This is an earthquake zone. Builders, architect, and structural engineers know that. That would be a class action suit in the US. Here. Owners are probably SOL.

I'll continue to live in Thailand and could give a da*m. Btw - there isn't going to be a war between the two counties as much as the OP and a majority of AN members probably wants one to break out. What the hell is with people in this day and age: everyone but a minority of us wants global war. The problem being, most of those who are itching for war - don't want to fight in one - they want to send other people to get killed. You people are sick.

Good idea. UN peace-keeper are the closest thing to neutral. That is sanity. If the UK/EU try to put NATO troops in Ukraine and call them "peacekeepers" Russian will call them "enemy-combatants" and they'll be targets. That in insanity and a deliberate provocation to start WWIII.

And you yourself as a far-Left ideologue do the absolute same - blindly follow your "leaders" on the far-Left. Trump bad. Biden good. Vance bad. Harris good. MTG bad. AOC good. AOC bad. MTG good. Harris bad. Vance good. Biden bad. Trump good. Ya'll are truly beyond hypocritical. You're laughable. You're patently insane! "Trump supporters all march in lockstep." Christ - you radical Lefties all march in lockstep. You're the pot calling the kettle black. Sanity is in the middle kids.

Good - biological males competing against biological females is an abomination. I'm all for those with gender dysphoria having their own athletic competition class where they can compete against others with gender dysphoria.

Go figure.

They should be.

Which is unenforcable. "Soy ciudadano americano, honesto!" The only way to rein in non-Citizens from voting is to require proof of citizenship. I have no problem submitting my birth certificate to obtain my voting card.

Using the same rationale, poor and ethnic minorities should be allow to drive a car without a driver's license because a driver's license is a barriers keeping them for their right to drive? No, they need a license. So requiring proof of citizenship (a birth certificate) is a "burden." So for everything else that requires a birth certificate, your OK, except for requiring a birth certificate to obtain a voter's card and being required to show it when you vote. Really - ya'll are insane. What you really want is people to be able to vote without any form of ID so that illegal aliens can vote because they primarily vote Democrat. And now? That's illegal. As it should be. You people who believe gaming the system are both anti-American, dishonest, and willing to engage in criminal acts to get your way. I have no doubt that Democrats will break the law to obtain fake IDs for illegals and others who are by law, not allowed to vote. And in doing so you'll become a felon. Just like you love to accuse Trump of being. Amazing! You people lack basic morality.

Trump’s Order Mandating Proof of Citizenship for Voter Registration Sparks Legal Concerns i agree 100% percent. I really don't understand. If I were to say that Farangs should be able to vote in Thailand elections - why not? We're here. We live here. Legally. So we should be able to vote without being a citizen, right? No! It's stupid. All countries have the right to limit voting to their citizen. So please - school me. If you think non-ciizens should vote in the US, don't you think we should be able to vote in Thailand. Or do those of you who are 100% for non-US citizens voting in US elections hypocritical enough to actually hold a double-standard? If so, I just gotta hear you twisted rationale.

I support some of Trump's policies. I don't support some of Trump's policies. So - does that make me a "Trump supporter?" Personally I don't understand ideologues. I assume you were a "Biden supporter." So did you support all of Biden's policies? My guess? Probably not. However, ideologues tend to see the world in binaries: black and white; good and bad; left or right. Which is too bad because the world isn't binary - but - some people are. A Trump ideologue would support all of Trump's policies. A Biden ideologue would support all of Biden's policies. A Republican ideologue would support all Republican policies. A Democrat ideologue would support all Democrat policies. In my humble opinion: Ideologues are a danger to a functioning society. All of them.

It's more than that. 10K for bone graft. Cheap implants start at about 35K and go parabolic from there. Ain't cheap. You're lucky to get it done for under 50K.

Getting smacked on the butt at school was a rite of passage for most kids in my generation. Most of us laughed it off. It built character.

Saying it's ended doesn't end it. Just saying...
