    Regardless of eating or not eating the meat it is wrong......but your are correct.....I will never understand the mind of a hunter (or a Trump supporter or a Republican for that matter).

    What about democrat supporters of meat hunting?   Do you understand the mind of those people?

    Because of either polarization of views such as:

    Just about 50% of people is left wing, and just about the remainder 50% is right wing.

    One hell of a disagreement in North America for a start.

    The other 50% then, all, all,well they are all wrong, and st.....

    Oh well

    And then there is beliefs. Darn, so many people are so wrong on the topic.

    Actually just about all of them.

    Considering that:

    -There are 2.2 billion of Christians

    -There is 1.5 billion of Muslims

    -There is 488 million de Buddhists

    -There is one billion of believers in Hinduism -

    -there are 28 million believers in Sikhism

    -there are 13 million believers in Judaism

    -there are 104 million believers in Shinto -

    -There are 4 million believers in Jainism

    -and then lesser known religions 

    -without forgetting the 189 members of the Flat Earth Society.

     

    So much in there to start telling someone, in no uncertain terms, that he is wrong, and st....

    Don't forget, there are those that are believers in having another beer!

    I got confused!  I thought you asked if I spoke Thai to 'farang wives', which seems like a silly idea if these wives are farang!!  Then I understood what you asked.  I would speak Thai only if a Thai partner did not understand English, and I would also speak English to the foreigner out of politeness.

     

    Here in Laos some of my Lao friends speak fluent English but their Lao partners do not.  So I will always speak Lao when chatting with them both, out of politeness for the person who doesn't understand English.

     

    Finally, my language skills are stretched because an old French guy lives in my village and he doesn't speak Lao or English or....  So I chat with him in French whilst simultaneously translating our conversation into Lao for the benefit of the village kids who always crowd around and want to ask questions of the French guy 🙂

    Have you met any Lao that speak French?  During the Vietnamese/American war, French linguists were needed to translate decrypted messages between the Vietnamese and Lao government/military.  The same thing with Cambodia communications between Laos and Vietnam.  It was the lingua franca of Southeast Asia, with Thailand being the exception.

    You are aware ICE vehicles are between 10 and 140 times more likely to catch fire than EV’s?

    “Normally a car fire you can put out with 500 to 1,000 gallons of water,” Austin Fire Department Division Chief Thayer Smith said, according The Independent. “But Teslas may take up to 30,000-40,000 gallons of water, maybe even more, to extinguish the battery pack once it starts burning."

    I need some analysis by you.

     

    It's been revealed that the Biden impeachment effort was aided by a Russian disinformation campaign.

     

    My question is: why would the Russians help Trump by assisting with the impeachment of Biden?

    Perhaps it is to the benefit of russia and putin,, regardless if there is any benefit to Trump, if there is any.  
    The russians are in this to benifit their country.  They don't care who may gain from their efforts, if any.

    As has been repeatedlly pointed out and to no avail, at least in the case of some such as yourself, both the Inspector General of the Justice Dept and John Durham have acknowledged that the investigation of Trump was not predicated on the Steele Dossier.

    There is this too.

    The FBI refrained from launching a FISA warrant request until it came into possession of a dossier from Christopher Steele, a former British intelligent agent. The Steele dossier played  "a central and essential role in the decision by FBI [Office of General Counsel] to support the request for FISA surveillance targeting Carter Page, as well as the FBI's ultimate decision to seek the FISA order," the IG report concluded. The FBI "drew almost entirely" from the Steele dossier to prove a “well-developed conspiracy” between Russians and the Trump campaign. The IG found that FBI agents were “unable to corroborate any of the specific substantive allegations against Carter Page” in the Steele dossier but the FBI relied on Steele’s allegations regardless.

    Yet, were there not several FISA warrants issued to investigate the Trump campaign based on that document?

    In what dictionary did you "find that"? The rules of this forum require that we speak English here.

    I find it in the posts I read on the internet and from listening to different people talking about it.   
    As to dictionaries.   Woke used to be something related to the opposite of asleep, if I recall correctly.  Sort of like "gay" used to mean " lighthearted and carefree", "Nan had a gay disposition and a very pretty face", now it means something entirely different.
