Do you think I was dumb enough to send you my current account. It is the ex's dormant account. You really are thicker that I thought.Wed, 01 Jul 2026 13:48:21 +0000Well, good that a Finnish guy instead of the usual Brit or Russian got on the wrong-doers list... but he ended up on Interpol's list for a 4 million baht fraud (150k dollar fraud)... Interpol are lowering their standards and going after minows now. I guess they are chasing every single dollar and dime now everywhere, as most countries are now, including Thailand, because they are skint and need to pay for unsustainable social programs to stay in power so that the masses don't gather outside their goverment offices shaking their pitchforks. Not sustainable though, and these politicians just kick the can down the road, but it will lead to ruin ultimately.Wed, 01 Jul 2026 13:47:41 +0000Perhaps the jacket was a period piece.Wed, 01 Jul 2026 13:47:19 +0000thanks for the info the wife and I have bank accounts with most of the retails banks in thailand.

Can you recommend a few options for thai brokerage accounts if I cant do it via retail bank platforms. thanksWed, 01 Jul 2026 13:44:07 +0000That is the mirror image of a swastika. In East Asia—including China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam—the counterclockwise version is actually the dominant form used in Buddhism. The Footprints of the Buddha: In Buddhist art, the symbol is called manji in Japanese or wàn in Chinese. It is traditionally seen stamped on the chest, hands, or soles of feet of Buddha statues. It represents the Buddha’s footprints, the resignation of the spirit, and the concepts of infinity, abundance, and eternal life. Map Markers: If you open a map of Tokyo or Seoul today, you will see the counterclockwise symbol used everywhere as the official geographic map icon to indicate the location of a Buddhist temple. Reclaiming the Image: Because the Nazi party exclusively used a right-facing, 45-degree tilted version, East Asian Buddhist communities heavily prefer the flat, left-facing version to clearly distinguish their ancient religious symbol from modern Western political hate.Wed, 01 Jul 2026 13:42:55 +0000Hard to be sure from the video but this looks like a Buddhist symbol to me. Some people should do a bit more research. Or, here’s a thought - just mind your own damned business. https://skdesu.com/en/its-nazi-buddhist-meanings/Wed, 01 Jul 2026 13:42:54 +0000Wed, 01 Jul 2026 13:38:07 +0000The fact is, there is no genocide in Gaza.Wed, 01 Jul 2026 13:37:25 +0000What an absolute F-wit that guy is. The symbol he is so concerned about has been around for a thousand years in India, Japan and Asia before the Nazis commandeered it. Good on the woman for standing up for herself. Have a look at any Japanese map and you will see all their temples marked with that symbol.Wed, 01 Jul 2026 13:33:38 +0000no pictures unless you want to see my belly entire rotisserie chicken, 300 gram burger with 3 strips of bacon and 3 sunny side up eggs... big slice of butterWed, 01 Jul 2026 13:33:20 +0000According to Thai law, it is illegal to use nominees for any Thai company, regardless of what the Thai business does. As an example, google the case of shareholder nominees for Thaksin Shinawatra. Having said that, it may be that Thai company ownership of condos are less likely to be cracked down on than those that own land and houses. Nevertheless, this is still something that is illegal as far as i can tell, unless you can bring your own Thai shareholders to pay for the 51% shares owned by the current Thai shareholders and can prove they provided the funds to purchase those shares.Wed, 01 Jul 2026 13:32:11 +0000A bit of investigation..................... A common misconception circulating in online spaces is that Winston Churchill never mentioned the Holocaust or the mass murder of Jewish people in his six-volume memoir series, The Second World War. This claim is often weaponized by Holocaust deniers to falsely imply the genocide did not happen.Wed, 01 Jul 2026 13:32:10 +0000This was the forerunner to it all I think from 13 years ago, but there's lots more out there which explains it. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a7c2de5ed915d7d70d1d16d/spa-background-note-051213_tpf_final.pdf There's this if you have the will to read it. https://www.pensionspolicyinstitute.org.uk/media/w55f13ml/20160908-report-the-distributional-impact-of-spa-rises-final.pdfWed, 01 Jul 2026 13:31:43 +0000amazing how the "press/news.. always never tell the entire story Kavanaugh suggested, Congress“could amend” that law “or otherwise enact new legislation establishing exceptions to birthright citizenship for children born to foreign citizens unlawfully or temporarily in the country. But,” he noted, “Congress has not yet done so.” So expect this to go right to the front of the lineWed, 01 Jul 2026 13:30:23 +0000Wed, 01 Jul 2026 13:28:42 +0000Debunked claim. Go ask Ai.

Hell, it's not even a police force.Wed, 01 Jul 2026 13:24:59 +0000"My wife's occupation"... carrying home a handbag for a friend now makes her a drug smuggler in your mind. That's quite the leap. By that logic, anyone who's ever exceeded the speed limit is a getaway driver. Your argument relies entirely on pretending there are no shades of grey because they're inconvenient and exposed is your inability to distinguish actus reus from mens rea, substituting nuance with certainty.... .... thus providing an example of pure intellectual laziness, confusing legal guilt with knowledge and intent. That's precisely why you've spent this entire discussion cementing a lack of intelligent balance.Wed, 01 Jul 2026 13:23:17 +0000How?Wed, 01 Jul 2026 13:22:12 +0000@GammaGlobulin probably knows theyre often alright in 1s and 2s but very dangerous in groups.
