Trump is taking a stand against it and should be commended although I suspect the symptoms will prevent you doing that.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:37:34 +0000Before any such tax change can be brought in, somebody will need to take back the nation from Emperor Trump and his Praetorian Guard oligarchs. No sign of it happening soon unfortunately. PS. Emperor Trump has been taxing the oligarchs heavily throughout his second term. And then allowing them to recoup their losses and then some unchecked from the general public through their conglomerates.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:37:15 +0000YOU ARE A LIAR! You cannot produce proof of my support for a 'Peoples Vote' because it doesn't exist.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:37:12 +0000Now you know why I complained about the Chicken Korma being over cooked.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:36:32 +0000Meanwhile... Twenty-six ships have passed through the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 hours in coordination with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, according to a report by the Iranian news agency Tasnim published on Wednesday. The ships reportedly included oil tankers, cargo ships and other commercial vessels. The Iranian leadership says it has established a regulatory body to oversee shipping traffic in the strait following the outbreak of the war. The Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) is calling on shipping companies to coordinate their movements with it. Passing through without authorization will be considered illegal, according to a statement by the newly established authority on X. Iran says 26 ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz in 24 hours I wonder if all those ships were Chinese or Russian.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:36:13 +0000Trump declared victory. Victors always pay for reparations. Negotiations require compromise. They are not demands. Part of this negotiation should be disarming Hezbollah in Lebanon. They may continue as a political party but destruction of their arms.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:35:56 +0000Can't respond to your incoherence.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:35:47 +0000You're wrong about the expat in the video. He is a very sensible man. It's sleazy of you to insult him based on no knowledge. As far as residence security for retired expats, you are correct, Thailand offers none. The Philippines and many other expat destinations globally do though. You are a case that did consider repatriation before expatriation. I think you are in the minority of retired expats who usually view the move as probably for life. Younger expats of course more often see expatriation as more temporary. Your solution is being wealthy enough in the form of your real estate back home. But there are other ways. People often sell everything back home and invest that wealth. Other people of course sell everything and that wealth is for setup abroad without a large reserve. It often does come down to wealth level. Wealthy enough people are out of the range of people with the types of concerns that is actually the topic. Your situation puts you out of range I talked about before (at least you think it does). CheersThu, 21 May 2026 07:33:46 +0000Anything to get somebody to chat with, huh? Run, Forrest, run.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:33:20 +0000I’m pretty light judgment wise. Even the retard I pop in here regularly to B-slap around for laughs and the amusement of other retirees, I don’t think is really a bad person. I ridiculed him for threatening people here and then he stopped. I made fun of them for two days about humping everybody’s leg demanding know what their hobbbbies are and I noticed he’s really steeply fallen off from that one too. Don’t feel like you need to thank me, it was my pleasure. It’s just banter. I could give 2 sh . But specific to this thread, I definitely think a guy who lives near Soi Bukhao and claims it is to be close to cheap noodle stands is definitely taking the P. I am reminded of the old joke of people who read Playboy just for the interview. Secretly, I would love a guy like that, not judge himThu, 21 May 2026 07:32:56 +0000Thu, 21 May 2026 07:32:55 +0000Or, perhaps, AN and Thailand just qualify for the number one spot of reporting these incidences?Thu, 21 May 2026 07:32:30 +0000Not unless you provide evidence anyone supporting particular people they’re not.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:32:24 +0000I really hope they're successful. If they're not then the US has made a complete transformation into a failed state, a kleptocracy.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:31:55 +0000You DID support a peoples vote but luckily for you the forum does not store posts as far back as 2016 so you are able to deny it. You really think the EU are going to accept us potentially coming and going every 18 years? Or are you, as I suspect, only hoping for it to be rerun until you get the result you want? Then we rejoin and no more votes. 😃Thu, 21 May 2026 07:31:22 +0000Wake up, We're in 2025. Women are free to have a sex life of their choosing and to do what they want.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:31:03 +0000Good Iran has the right of self-defence a principle enshrined in the modern world. The are capable , resourceful people and fearless fighters we could learn a lot from then but we won't.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:30:15 +0000“The way that minister Ben-Gvir dealt with the flotilla activists is not in line with Israel’s values and norms,” Netanyahu said. We usually just shoot them. Yeah, Ben-Gvir doesn’t represent Israel’s “values and norms”. Then why was he appointed Cabinet minister? Why was his racist hanging law passed? The good news is that the ICC is seeking arrest warrants for these b-tards. They love Israel, they should be happy to stay there…or get arrested, maybe bullied, mocked and humiliated.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:29:56 +0000It was on google. Pm me i give u the hotel.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:29:17 +0000It wasn't always like this.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:27:22 +0000Thu, 21 May 2026 07:26:56 +0000Statistically, insurance companies are extremely willing to pay out for legitimate claims; just because AN posters claim they don't pay out doesn't make that factual, or a good source of reference!Thu, 21 May 2026 07:25:59 +0000I just arrived in Bangkok today for my usual 8 month stay so I have the best of both worlds although I know this is not for everyone. I closed the storm shutters on my Florida condo, locked the door and covered my car. I try to take care of any medical issues while in USA but it’s getting harder to find good doctors there.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:25:51 +0000My genes are superior, but sadly I can see that you failed in the genes department. Or maybe you are the product of poor parenting, sat behind your warrior keyboard, commenting with hostility.Thu, 21 May 2026 07:25:34 +0000
