I was a mensa member for a few months. Some of the members I met, were people I did not want to meet again.

Are you railing against Israelis or hamas?

If I recall correctly what I heard on the radio a few weeks ago, Israeli civilians generally do not have firearms available. That it is (or was) difficult to legally have and carry firearms. My impression was Israel had laws similar to those in countries that are against civilians having firearms and are only available to Police (I don't know if police there do have firearms) and military. I do not know the accuracy of this. I was driving, had grandkids in the truck, and was only partially listening to what was being said. Having written the above, if my impression of the availability of firearms ownership and possession by Israeli civilians is correct, then the hamas brigades are flat out liars about the targeting of those who carried weapons against our people. It would only be natural to carry weapons for use against people who are rewarded and celebrated as heroes, when they kill Israelis, i.e. against hamas!

Yes, even you have an opinion. What is your definition of a marxist?

Target for theft, for the very reasons you are pointing out.

Or was he just a target of opportunity?

Well, since we are acknowledging, considered opinions ... My considered opinion is that progressives on the left are marxists.

The logic stands. I did an informal poll of some protestors in Philadelphia PA that were in support of the Palestinian people and asked this very question. Do you know that support of the Palestinian people is de facto support of hamas. Out of about 20-25 protestors only 2 said they did not support hamas the rest of them said they did. That was before I was threatened with physical violence if I did not leave the area!

You did open and read the article, did you not? You did see the graph right? You know the graph which specifies a percentage democrat's overall which indicates that 44% of democrats do not think that the U.S. of A. is not supportive enough of Palestinians. You know the Palestinians that support hamas by about 80% of the population. So if you support the Palestinians, who by a large majority, support hamas, then de facto, democrats support hamas! Depending on which poll you look at, Palestinians support of hamas ranges from 72 - 90%. (And why did you post the, almost, same response twice? Why ditto?) Democrats are divided on US support for Israelis and Palestinians An AP-NORC poll finds most Democrats who disapprove of Joe Biden's handling of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict want more support for the Palestinians, while fewer approvers agree. Percent of Democrats who say the U.S. support of the following is...

I can't speak of the two holsters visible in the picture, but there are holsters that lock the pistol in them and you cannot grab the pistol grip and just pull it out of the holster. Some additional manipulation of part of the holster is required to extract the pistol from the holster. https://www.athlonoutdoors.com/article/9-retention-holsters-draw/ A nightmare for any officer is a gun grab. Luckily today’s modern retention holsters can keep a weapon securely locked in its holster and locked onto an officer’s body, at least until you can subdue your attacker and take charge of the situation.

American citizens who wish to remain in Thailand for longer than 90 days during any six-month period will be required to obtain a valid Thai visa from a Thai Embassy or Consulate that is authorized to issue visas. The U.S. Embassy advises all American citizens who wish to obtain a Thai visa to contact the Thai Immigration Bureau for exact visa requirements and regulations. Persons who do not comply with visa regulations risk being denied entry to Thailand at the border.

Why would that time make a difference? As a person that has had multiple skin cancers, I would be interested in know why. Also, I am not sure if there would be any difference with me. I suspect agent orange poisoning has had some effect on causing skin cancers, based on a small study by one doctor years ago, with regards to people of a certain skin type.

Stories like this, sometimes feels like a physical blow to me. I have a 5 year old grandson and 7 year old grand daughter of an adopted Thai born daughter. She is a great mother to her kids!

I met them, back in the 1950's , in Louisiana, when I was a kid. The vitriol, venom, and hate was palpable. They were democrats. In the 1960's they spoke of wanting to hang republicans who loved black people! I watched my grandmother get very close to killing a member of the clan. A 12 gauge up close is a nasty weapon to be shot with. Family rumor has it, great grandfather did kill some after the civil war due to they way they treated his half Cherokee wife! If the oath keepers and proud boys were anything like the democrat clan members from back then, the news media would be shouting about it loud and long. All I hear or read about is how bad they were, where as the clan actually, physically, attacked black people. The only difference I see now is who the democrat foot soldier directs their venom against. Whites and jews! The people I have met in my adult life that had that same venom, vitriol, and hate, that was still palpable, were still democrats, when I was till a federal agent. Some of them were the democrat politicians that I had to work around, when they were not around the public they were supposed to be serving. I was assigned to work at both democrat and republican conventions. The last convention I worked was in 2004. While some of the republican politicians were <deleted>, the democrat politicians were the bigger <deleted> and were arrogant, elitist's, do you know who I am kind of people. This is from my personal experience, not from the the main stream democrat supporting media! Even though I already had passed an extensive back ground investigation for my security clearance for my employment, I still had to pass another background investigation before I could work at the conventions, primarily because presidents could be in attendance and were. I always wondered if the average federal politician had to get a back ground investigation. I had three background investigations from 1969 to early 2000's, that combined, took 4 years and 9 months to complete. Each time the investigation went back to my birth. Too many traffic tickets, no clearance, charged with driving under the influence, no clearance, caught lying, no clearance, associate with the wrong people (e.g. communists, marxists ), no clearance, bad financial background, no clearance, armed insurrection (yes this too), no clearance, and more that I can't remember. Those background investigations were in addition to 5 year checkups where they talked to my neighbors asking about my lifestyle. rant over.

Those cyclists need to stay off the sidewalk when I am driving!

Looks like the guy with the taser is smiling underneath that mask. I did not know they had tasers in Thailand. When did the cops start using those. I also did not know that Sig Sauer P365's were sold in Thailand. Out of curiosity, does anyone know how much they are sold for in Thailand?

Cigarette smuggling to evade paying taxes? Where have I read about that before? I read years ago about a truck driver who was stopped by criminals. He thought they wanted to steal his truck and trailer. Nah, they let him keep those that were worth more than $100,000.00 USD. It was his cargo that they wanted. Cigarettes'! Law enforcement suspected the cigarettes were later smuggled into New York City. I think the theft was in Georgia, the state, not the country. https://www.mackinac.org/blog/2023/cigarette-taxes-turn-new-york-into-smuggling-empire#:~:text=New York City imposes additional excise taxes of,all cigarettes sold in New York were smuggled.

Have you ever met a real, live, clan, man (kkk)?

How many words in the English language has been changed to fit an agenda, then used to demonetize people that you (generic you) don't agree with?

Yet, racist have changed the meaning of the word to mean what ever they want it to mean. It seems, one meaning of racist is, you don't agree to my meaning of woke so you are a racist! woke (past tense) emerge or cause to emerge from a state of sleep; stop sleeping: "she woke up feeling better" · "I wake him gently"

I have experienced more outages here in the U.S. of A. than in Thailand, for the last 2 decades. Just last night, the storm that blew through was causing intermittent loss of power. I need UPS's more here than there. I only started thinking about this last year when the condo shut the power off during the exchange of transformers outside the building. My laptop is usually on all the time. But it is the TV's I am concerned about there and here. Downstairs computer here, has a UPS with wifi/router, monitor, and computer on it.
