Are you a citizen of the United States? I am. Are you a citizen of the state of Pennsylvania? I am. If both, have you ever had to comply with the Pennsylvania laws regarding how to vote by mail, known as "Absentee Voting", I have! At the time of the last presidential election, it was required by both the the Pennsylvania state constitution and by state law, that you had to request advance permission to vote by mail. In that request, you had to provide proof that you were the person that was requesting permission for Absentee Voting. I was required to provide my name, address, and drivers license number in that request. I also had to provide a "legitimate" reason acceptable by law, that I would be unable to vote, in person, at my local polling place. The state law also stipulated that if I were able to vote in person, I had to do so, even though I had already sent in my "Absentee Vote". Then when I, as required by law, went to vote at my local polling place, I had to advise the person working at the polls, that I had already voted by absentee ballot, and that the absentee vote made under Pennsylvania's state laws for absentee voting, needed to be invalidated and that only my vote at the polling place should be my legal vote. So, tell me, ozimoron, how is my following the Pennsylvania state constitution and Pennsylvania State voting laws, justifying facism? Tell me how this is a conspiracy theory? Also tell my why you are making comments that are bordering on slander, against me, by implying I am a fascist?

Again, you are wrong about that. The democrat party in the state of Pennsylvania violated both the constitutional requirements for voting by mail and as you may be able to guess, the democrat party is not the part of the right wing!

You are wrong about that. It happened in Pennsylvania and it swayed a presidential election.

Would a fair and open election include allowing people who are, by law, not supposed to be voting to vote in an election? Would a fair and open election allow citizens of a state (in the U.S. of A.) vote in a manner that violates both the states constitution and state laws that primarily benefits the electorate of the political party allowing the violation of the state constitution and state law?

If you were are are a real nazi, then yes. Which brings up the question, why is it that so many on the left, use nazi tactics to further their cause?

Sort of like, you are a racist! When you disagree with the leftist ideology that was taught to them in college or don't do whatever they command you to do, then you are also called a racist!

Yet, there is little to no talk about the "far left extremists" that is plaguing the western countries. I read and hear talk about the "far right extremist" and their danger to society, yet, where are the large riots by them in the news, like the other side? Where have the "far right extremists" in the western countries taken over parts of cities and declared a new country without police?

Off the topic of apocalyptical ecological disasters. There was also the dire prediction I heard spouted back when HIV/AIDS was running rampant in the gay U.S. of A. population back in the 1980's. I forget the time frame that this prediction was supposed to take place in. 10 million people a year, in the U.S. of A., will die from AIDS! I think that prediction was for the heterosexual population. Yet wikipedia (not a source I am accustomed to using) has this ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIV/AIDS_in_the_United_States#:~:text=12 External links-,Mortality and morbidity,United States die each year.

My Thai language is limited, but enough to live in Thailand, if I were to do so. Several comments made by Thai's when I speak Thai, some more than once, your Thai is very good, you are the first falang speaking Thai that I can understand, you speak Thai very well. As to Thai's speaking English. A family friend who used to be a senior official in the Thai government who had to travel to other countries, needed to speak English with people who did not have English as a first language.. He does, sort of. He attended an English language class where, I think, if I recall correctly, he only needed to listen to English spoken, but was not required speak it back. His English is very difficult to understand, not only because of poor pronunciation, but very poor grammar as well. On the opposite end of the scale of a Thai speaking English, was a young woman I spoke with briefly at Chulalongkorn University, when I was taking a Thai language refresher course. After speaking with her for 5 minutes, I asked her, which of the southern states did you live in America, as she spoke with a slight southern accent I could not place, and I thought she was an American citizen. She told me she was Thai, grew up in Thailand and had never been outside of Thailand. But, you speak with a southern accent I responded. She tells me, oh, my English teacher is from Arkansas (a U.S. of A. state). He teaches English here at Chula.

I used to work in a government call center here in the U.S. of A.. With my exposure to so many people around the world, I can understand a lot of people who speak English, no matter what countries accent they have. So, I had many calls to the call center transferred to me, because the employee could not understand the accent of the person speaking English with them. How ever, there was that one guy that was transferred to me. His call was transferred to me and the employee told me, I don't know what language this guy is speaking! It took me a few seconds before I realized, he was speaking English. He had a very strong Appalachian Mountain resident accent. I managed to make it through the call and the man was satisfied with my help, but I had difficulty understanding what he was saying. I suspect that he lived in an area of the Appalachian Mountains that were once only accessible by horse, or foot, with no roads for anything else. I, during my young childhood days, used many of the same words that are in the video and text of the link below. " In fact, some say that the speech of the southern mountaineers is “pure Elizabethan English” just as Shakespeare would have spoken it.

Don't forget "they're"! Where's my hat? I'll leave now.

I will have to look again when I am back in Thailand. Usually, the only alkaline batteries I see just about any place selling batteries, are the Panasonic brand.

If it makes any difference, I own a Royal Thai Police baseball cap. I bought it from someone selling police equipment to RTP at Vipawadee Police station (the one at the police apartments) parking lot.

I sit, or rather lounge here, corrected. From some of the wordings of internet comments one could think that Zion/Zionists, are different people from the Israeli people, and in other internet comments, Zionists and Israelis are the same people. I do not refer only to comments on asean now, but also to comments that I read other places on the internet.

The north vietnamese army was an active participant in killing non combatants in South Vietnam, some for not helping the NVA, some for psychological warfare against the non combatants of the south. When he says the NVA sacrificed Vietnamese, what he means is, the NVA murdered to further their ends. The North Vietnamese government was also complicit in the violation of the Rule 97, by locating schools, hospitals, nurseries, old age homes, etc, within the industrial buildings and areas that were used to build military arms, using non combatants as human shields! Although, without researching this on the internet, I am not sure that the north vietnamese government was a signatory to the Geneva Convention rules. I think not though.

Not only that, but I watched a video in which a hamas leader claimed that Israel and the United Nations are responsible for the palestinian people, not hamas, (and if I recall correctly) that hamas is only responsible for hamas soldiers!

Both are wrong, but you only complain about the Israelis?

Does your comment mean that the Israelis are using non combatants as human shields?

What do you say about hamas and their violation of, supposedly international law, Rule 97? https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v1/rule97#:~:text=of human shields-,Rule 97.,of human shields is prohibited.

No, but yes!

I know several Thai males. None of them are like that one in the news story! Even the ones who own firearms don't act like the guy in the news story.

If it is vegan, is it really meat?

So, if the teacher inserted her fingers into the girls vagina, that is not rape? If not rape, what would a non "wokey" definition of that act be?

I don't smoke cigarettes or cigars. But I did eat candy cigarettes as a kid and they, apparently did not lead me to smoking cigarettes. Here in the U.S. of A., I do know where to buy candy cigarettes. I buy them occasionally when I pass by the kiosk selling them. They taste just as good as they did when I was a kid. Now, that dreaded poison ... chocolate ... I am addicted to that stuff. Got to have some almost every day!! For some reason, especially when I am driving or traveling somewhere. Sometimes when I go to Thailand first, my wife will bring me several Mr. Goodbars (peanuts and chocolate) with her to feed my addiction, when she goes to Thailand later!
