  1. Which is why sanctions on these clowns will never happen. Sad.
  2. Do We Betray our Country of Origin, Just through Writing Style and Choice of Words? Even when we try to mask our nationalities? No.
  3. I just can not fathom how driving against traffic is considered to be on par with not wearing a seatbelt or helmet. Not wearing a seatbelt or helmet may be deadly for you. Driving against traffic? You risk killing yourself and taking a bunch of people with you. This is why the fatality figures will not budge. I can only guess that the BIB simply don't care.
  4. For crying out loud. Go see a doctor if you have a problem. There are clinics and hospitals all over Thailand.
  5. I've watched Thais I know get taken by the con. The reason? They are greedy. Simple as that. Oh, and stupid. Greedy + Stupid = Easy Mark
  6. It's past time to retire the Boomers and hand the reins of power to the next generations. Not just Thailand but globally. *Caveat: I'm a boomer.
  7. "The first casualty of war is Truth." That applies to all sides engaged in the conflict. No side is exempt. And the target of deliberately twisted fact? The public, on all sides.
  8. One the flip side? Natural gas won't cost 4+ times the price that the common folk in the EU will be paying, if they get gas at all.
  9. Actually, all a neutral observer needs to do is - wait... The facts will reveal themselves over time, one way or the other.
  10. A Thai could buy off the victim and get the charges dropped, but? Not a foreigner and especially not kon keark.
  11. Lavrov embodies a characteristic that the West and US had 40 years ago, but no longer have: Statesmanship Problems can not be resolved when only one party (Russia) is open to civil talks. The visceral hatred of all things Russia by many members of this forum is just symptomatic of the West's problem as these people simply reflect their own country's foreign policy. Sad.
  12. Translated: If we allow the commons to grow cannabis for themselves we will lose billions in revenues. Always follow the money.
  13. Flat Earth? Not sure. ???? Flat Thai girlfriends. 100% IBTC!
  14. But seatbelts are not required in buses because buses defy the law of physics, right? No - what it show is this is not about "safety" but it is about revenue collection.
  15. Cat burglar electrocuted after climbing up outside of Sukhumvit Road hotel - anti-theft wire got him. Are they running 220V though their "anti-theft wire" or any voltage capable of killing? If so it's murder. I'm not condoning the thief, but if I ran home voltage along the barbed wire at my home and someone got electrocuted? Guess what would happen?
  16. I see we start the day with a excerpt from Comedy Central this morning. Hot air. The BIB's only tool are road-blocks. None of the carnage ends until cops in cars pull over violators of moving violations and hit them with fines and sanctions that are painful enough to change Thai's suicidal driving habits. And - completely revamp their driver education, skill/knowledge testing and licensing. So why do I know this will never change? Because the BIB drive just like average Thais. The carnage never ends until the system makes drastic changes. And? TIT - they never will.
  17. It seems like all the world's governments are addressing inflation by pumping more money into their economies. Then they'll be hyperinflation which will ruin everyone.
  18. They'd need to boost the educational quality before they address inequality.
  19. Unfortunately, the terminally fearful want people without any symptoms to wear masks so they themselves feel safe. Which is ridiculous. If people are fearful of contracting Covid (or any other airborne virus) then they themselves should mask with a high quality mask. I'm not masking up for the benefit of someone else's paranoia when I don't have as much as a sniffle.
