If definite proof one of them attacked the other, especially with a weapon, then minimum 1 year jail, plus deportation for 10 years. Scum has to be dealt with. A short, sharp shock. Would they behave like this in Singapore or Vietnam?Sun, 05 Jul 2026 07:37:01 +0000I am thinking more about overall safety when choosing a country, and honestly most South American countries would not be high on my list for individual freedom and long-term stability. That said, Chile has impressed me with how it turned around from dictatorship and internal violence into a promising country. The downside is that Chile sits on the Ring of Fire, with earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, and other natural disaster risks. Uruguay also makes me curious, because it seems to offer a good balance of freedom, political stability, safety, temperate climate, and a long coastline, without many of the natural disasters that affect other parts of the continent. For you, Uruguay is actually one of the easier countries to consider. As a Norwegian, you can enter visa-free for up to 90 days as a tourist. If you decide to stay, you can apply for residency rather than having to leave first. For retirement/residency, the general requirements are: Proof of a stable pension or other regular income (many guides cite around US$1,500/month as a practical benchmark). Clean criminal record. Health documentation and identity documents. Demonstrate an intention to reside in Uruguay. Given what I know about your priorities—safety, political stability, coastline, individual freedom, and avoiding major natural disasters—Uruguay is one of the strongest retirement candidates in South America. It isn’t as inexpensive as Thailand, but it aligns well with many of the qualities you’ve said matter most.Sun, 05 Jul 2026 07:34:53 +0000Money rules. In Thailand, you can get away with anything if you have enough money. How much does it cost to go free after a murder? Two million baht, when halving the sentence costs one million baht? Disgusting.🤢🤢🤢Sun, 05 Jul 2026 07:34:39 +0000What will the world be like in 50 years Why would I care? I'll be long dead and gone. And with the way things are going globally, so will the other 7.9 billion people.Sun, 05 Jul 2026 07:34:37 +0000You also seem to have "forgotten" what happened before. The 1997 Russian-Ukrainian Friendship Treaty, often called the "Big Treaty," was a landmark agreement signed by Russian President Boris Yeltsin and Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma. It recognized both nations' borders, ensured territorial integrity, and established a strategic partnership. The Minsk Agreements (Minsk I and Minsk II) were a series of international treaties signed in 2014 and 2015 to stop the war in eastern Ukraine. Both deals failed to end the violence, but they defined the diplomatic framework for the region until Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022. Russia broke these assurances (signed) with the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the full-scale invasion in 2022. And youre arument is a "gentleman's agreement". Really?!Sun, 05 Jul 2026 07:34:25 +0000I think you're just falling back on the 'that's a fact' syndrome – you need to look at European and world history too. History is more than a chronological sequence of events and your "facts" – it is a matter of analysis and interpretation. A blueprint is an engineering term – it is a detailed technical drawing or plan used to guide the construction of a building, machine, or complex project. Coming from the 19th-century printing process that produced white lines on a blue background, today it generically describes any detailed architectural plan or engineering model – I think you are trying to substitute it for the word "fact" -Sun, 05 Jul 2026 07:33:30 +0000Trump Mixes Patriotism and Politics in July 4 Speech Trump Mixes Patriotism, Politics, and Propaganda in July 4 Speech. There - fixed it!Sun, 05 Jul 2026 07:31:57 +0000Sun, 05 Jul 2026 07:29:55 +0000Fifty years really isn't such a long time. I can remember 50 years ago, and things haven't changed that much. Sure, we now have more electronic gadgets and the economy has gone downhill for the middle class, but people are still people and things haven't changed that much. If I had to guess, and assuming we haven't had WW III by then, we'll all have nicer more powerful gadget in 50 years. Robots will be doing much of the work. And there will have been great strides in medicine. Perhaps there will be some mechanism to limit the human population growth. And perhaps there will by then be methods of inter-dimensional travel. Don't like your current timeline? Buy a ticket for another one.Sun, 05 Jul 2026 07:29:29 +0000An endless stream of UKers involved in violence. As soon as you hear their voice, just walk away.

Reporters never can identify their sources. If they do, no more sources will come forward.Sun, 05 Jul 2026 07:22:06 +0000Bredbury Blue has the best advice, but I would add the Phu Yai Ban (village headman) to it. So that means the steps would be: Do not cut the branches. Talk to your neighbour - if you can - and ask them to trim the branches giving them plenty of Thai Time. Record details of the talk - time, place, participants and what was said. If that fails or cannot be done, email your neighbour - if you can - and ask them to trim the branches giving them plenty of Thai Time. Save the email and any response. If that fails or cannot be done, talk to your Phu Yai Ban and, if necessary, show him/her the problem and any records of discussions with your neighbour. Follow their advice, but if you disagree with their advice, then you have a problem. You need to have the phu yai ban involved in case of the problem escalating. As Thai Law Online states " The phu yai ban is the lowest level of Thai administrative authority, responsible for maintaining public order, resolving minor local disputes, and witnessing certain civil transactions such as land-use rights and private loan agreements in rural areas."Sun, 05 Jul 2026 07:21:57 +0000So in other words, you cannot refute the facts. Your guy willfully cooperated with Russia in the 2016 election. The only thing open to debate is whether or not that would constitute a crime. I do not know the answer to that. What I do know is that there was no "conspiracy", just a necessary investigation of what the Trump campaign did. To not pursue the intel would have been a dereliction of duty. Even Trump's appointed investigator Durham, who had access to every document related to this matter, gave John Brennan a clean bill of health. John's lawsuit against Trump and the DoJ is partly a demand that they both follow the Presidential Records Act and retain copies of all documents, emails, etc., related to the DoJ trying to investigate Brennan. Since we see from the still-retained Epstein Files, the DoJ and Trump consider themselves above the law and are not obligated to follow court orders or laws.Sun, 05 Jul 2026 07:21:52 +0000I thought Antifa was an idea about being AntifascistSun, 05 Jul 2026 07:20:46 +0000People who intentionally target innocents for personal gain. Men who use women, taking advantage of innocence. People who hit children or allow teachers to do the same. Those who profit from selling other humans. Officials who do the same, looking the other way for their own share of profit. People who abuse, torment or poison animals. People who's lives are so depressing they need to come to forums and troll others to make themselves feel better. People who's lifestyle is paid for by destroying nature.Sun, 05 Jul 2026 07:20:18 +0000You are a 69yo man paying a pretend gf in Thailand but won't say her age.
