Were you assigned to a Radio Research unit perhaps?

I like that stuff. Wife bought me some when we were there in July and August this year.

Who defines what disinformation/misinformation is?

What? You are surely dismissive of me it appears. Am I the only one that does not live semi-permanently or permanently in Thailand? Can I not go there and visit with my relatives that are Thai citizens? Why would I have to look for a racist? There are too many that openly demonstrate their racism for the world to see. You should be aware of the racism that is exhibited in this very forum. Move on to where?

Yes, I agree, that is a slightly grainy picture of the woman that was stuffing a ballot box. https://www.wfsb.com/2024/10/31/bridgeport-election-official-fired-over-absentee-ballot-scandal/

I have seen the advertisements for that I am a racist thing. A movie I think. I hardly ever go to movies now in the U.S. Living among racists changed me and it affects how I associate with other people, that is the reality that you are denying. I am not attempting to change millions of other people. Was it you that I wrote that I wrote a response to, writing that democrats have told me they are voting for Trump? I don't live in Thailand. I only visit there. I stay at my condo next to the river and marvel at the night time sights from the 26th floor. I will be there next February and return to the U.S. in March.

Well, for me, I have an appointment for radiation therapy for my skin cancer. Going to ask the doctor to look at that thing on my right cheek, I think that might be skin cancer too. Then, I will go to get a passport photo taken. I need it for the application for my permit to posses a firearms suppressor. Then it's also the day I have to water plants. Eat some food. Drink more coffee. Drive my RAM truck And last, but not least, read comments on aseannow.com! There is more, but I only listed the most important things to do.

The View?!?!? I am blocking your post!!

Too many people on Asean Now participate in fear mongering, name calling, etc. Many on the left are quite adept at it. As you should be well aware of. That and sloganeering, and fearmongering as well!

I read Black Like Me years ago in my mid or late 20's. Yes, racism exists, among all ethnicities, not just among those that are identified as Caucasian. Those that claim a particular ethnicity cannot be racist, are lying! I have lived among racists. Some were hard core racists, like the klan members in Louisiana, in my childhood. Some were more subtle in their words, but still recognizable as racists. As a child I learned what a racist is, by their words and deeds. There are those in the democrat party and their supporters, that will call people who are descended from those that were brought to America from the African continent, uncle tom's, house n....., etc, when those blacks identify with being conservative. There are the blacks themselves that use that obscenity, n....., against those of any ethnicity. They do it with malicious intent! Offspring of black and Caucasian unions were in Louisiana when I was a child in the 1950's and 1960's. Some with black fathers and some with black mothers. It's not something that I have become aware of only recently. Why would I find it interesting? I have seen people that claim to be black and their skin has less melanin than my grandkids!! My mockery, as you call it, is based in truth. Except for the Mini Mouse and Daisy Duck. I through that in as a joke. I have told it several times today. I didn't write them in as pres. and v.p. when I voted.

There has been a considerable amount of grating for the last four years, courtesy of the democrat political party!

"And still people will look down on those that voted for him - not understanding it." They are what they claim other are that are not democrats, racist (if you don't vote for me you ain't black), misogynists (supporting men who want to be women and allowing them to compete in women's sports), and full of hatred (watch the [gag] "The View" for example)!!

"On December 7, 1941, two hours after the Japanese attack on American military installations at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, Japan declared war on the United States and Great Britain, marking America’s entry into World War II. The Japanese government had originally intended to deliver the declaration thirty minutes before the attack, but the Japanese embassy in Washington took too long to decode the 5,000-word document." "The German declaration of war against the United States on Dec. 11, 1941, four days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, on Dec. 7, 1941, was a turning point in the history of World War II, and thus in the history of international relations. "

Not only "deplorables" I was told by some people they were democrats and were voting for Trump. One had already voted for Trump during the early voting allowed here in Bucks County Pennsylvania.

Long live our Constitutional Republic! Your "No gracious dignity" after all the leftist hatred spewed in these forums, continuing even now?

I am not a misogynist! I proved it when I did my write in votes for president and vice president. Mini Mouse for President! Daisy Duck for Vice President! I hope my non-white relatives, the ones I put up money for and helped migrate, legally, to the United States and supported for years, don't find out I am a racist. And my non-white, adopted, son, daughter, and those dark skinned grandkids of mine!! None of them must ever find out!!! Perhaps I should have paid more attention to my grandmothers dislike of those backwoods Louisiana klan members that hated republicans and blacks with equal fervor! Grandma going so far as to actually threaten to kill a klan member, with grandpa's old Winchester 12 gauge shotgun, and any other klan member that dared walk on her property!

Perhaps he should call them Stalin!

When hear them call someone a fascist, I hear, I hate you so I am going to call you the worst political name I can think of!

Not all of them marry for money. Take my Thai wife for instance. Her plan was, marry the American, wait 2 years to get a permanent green card, then skedaddle (depart quickly or hurriedly run away). Now, 30 something years later, I am still waiting for her to ... skedaddle!! As for money. I am retired with enough income that I could get one of those elite visas and live in Thailand, if I were single. Wife's income is 3 times mine!!!

My Thai wife would never hire anyone to kill me. She would keep the money and do the job herself! 😲

I was with my wife and a friend of hers walking along not bothering to join their conversation. But I heard the woman (American) ask my wife (Thai), what happens if your husband looks at other women? My wife responded, I don't care if he looks at other women. He is a man. That's what men do!

I am glad I don't drink alcoholic beverages or use any illicit drugs.

This comment has absolutely no relationship with the preceding or following comments about this thread! Now that avatars are bigger, I realize that I, albeit ugly, am still better looking than Popeye!

Perhaps off topic: Regarding "re-education" ... I knew a Vietnamese man out in California. Mr. Thai (yes, that was his name). After the North Vietnamese conquered South Vietnam, he was incarcerated for 7 years in a "re-education" camp. They had to perform hard labor 7 days a week, 12-16 hours a day. People in the camp starved to death from lack of food. They were given one cup of water that had a few grains of rice in it. Any one caught picking wild grass, herbs, or any other vegetation or catching bugs or animals while working were frequently beaten to death. Mr. Thai escaped his incarceration and was only able to escape "communist Vietnam" because his refugee relatives, who ended up in America, ransomed his freedom with $50,000.00 in 1983 or 1984. The value of $50,000.00 from 1984 would be over $150,000.00 today!

I think that Georgia and Pennsylvania have been flipped.
