Somebody want to tell Cnn this had nothing to do with protests the radical anarchist shot up a ICE facility while one unlucky officer caught one in the neck. 8 convicted of terrorism charges in Texas immigration center shooting sentenced to decades in prison“Song, aside from this day, has had an impeccable life. A former Marine. A good student,” Hayes said. “He had a lot of good qualities that were just ignored. The judge went ahead and gave as much as he could.” "Critics warn the case could have wide-reaching impact on protests given that organizations operating within the US are supposed to be protected by First Amendment free-speech rights". https://edition.cnn.com/2026/06/23/us/texas-immigration-detention-center-shooting-sentencing The story is based on a Cnn news reportTue, 23 Jun 2026 18:25:12 +0000Do you know of any cases in thailand of synthetic cannabinoids being used in vapes. Im curious.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 18:24:02 +0000THAT is a very important observation: They used the Brits und the US to establish their stolen country and "thankfully" turned against them later, best example being the bombing of the King David Hotel (91 dead) in 1946 or the attack on the USS Liberty (34 dead) in 1967. I wonder if all those Israel friendly BMs are aware of what Israelis understand by friendship.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 18:23:13 +0000I think the only reason the dry herb cannabis vapes I mentioned earlier fall into the illegal category is that Thailand uses a very broad definition of a vaporizer. If it is a battery powered device that heats a substance and produces vapor for inhalation, it is generally treated as an illegal vaping device. That said, your question concerns a cannabis vape containing synthetic cannabinoids. That is the type of product that would be clearly illegal. There are two reasons for this. First, it is a conventional vape product that uses a cartridge containing liquid or oil, which falls within the category of prohibited vaping devices. It's not just a device being used to heat up natural cannabis flower anymore. Second, cannabis vape products, whether they contain natural cannabis extracts or synthetic cannabinoids, are typically treated as cannabis extracts. Cannabis extracts (unless administered by a doctor) remain classified as Category 5 narcotics under Thai law. Indonesia actually has very strict laws on this and an Australian woman just got caught with some cannabis vapes in Indonesia that she received in the post last month. They contained a total of about 50ml of vape oil and now she's staring at a possible 20 year jail sentence: https://www.news.com.au/world/asia/australian-woman-53-facing-20-years-jail-after-arrest-in-indonesia-over-alleged-cannabis-vape-possession/news-story/0f73a6107f6804af39411bdbb00aa6bfTue, 23 Jun 2026 18:20:17 +0000It's not even music, there is no soul in it.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 18:07:31 +0000I really don't understand why you are trying to portray the Spanish Inquisition as a revenge for the Muslim invasion (which took place 700 years earlier) or some kind of ethnic or religious cleansing. It surely was connected to the centuries-long conflict known as the Reconquista (the Christian reconquest of Spain), yet its primary goals were not retaliatory but more likely political consolidation of a new Kingdom and targeting Converts, not Invaders as it legally only had power over baptized Catholics. Most of the victims were actually Jews and not Muslims. However let's get back on topic and the threat that one in six Brits see in the Muslim population. Interestingly here on the forum their numbers seem to be much higher. My previous arguments, which you have not commented on, stand, which are, if you're not happy with people migrating to your country maybe you shouldn't destroy their countries in the first place. And I'm not talking about some invasion 1300 years ago, I am talking about the illegal wars and the millions of deaths caused by the West in Muslim countries in the last few decades. So whatever you're accusing Muslims of, it is nothing, absolutely nothing compared to what we did to them.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 18:06:24 +0000I mentioned before that the creation of the Jew state was the worst thing to happen in the 1940s. People are just starting to see why. Still, every war crime, every crime against humanity, every bite of the hands that feed them, every spit in the face of a friend, a day closer to their self destruction. Don't miss that last plane out. 🙂 It's going to be a butcher shop.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 18:01:24 +0000Gummies might work. Don't eat them. Just count them until you fall asleep. One other practical suggestion: I completely boarded up the windows in my bedroom. This certainly helps. Also: Keep your bedroom at about 19-degrees C. This also helps, physiologically speaking.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 18:00:34 +0000Georgenataliia, girl, I am beginning to think I have been doing this whole life thing completely wrong. Meanwhile, you got it fully dialed in. You get attacked by monkeys. Fleeced by ladyboys. You get punched in the face by a 78 year old boxing trainer. People stare at you in your high viz. People question your nail polish. People sit at your private cafe table. Foreigners simply won’t leave you alone. Meanwhile I somehow manage to go through life without any of these problems. Not one. No monkey capers. No ladyboy debacles. No pensioner boxers flattening my nose in front of a class. At some point we have to consider the possibility that you are the common denominator in a statistically significant number of unusual situations. You are a living anomaly and the data is starting to become difficult to ignore, darl. In fact, this may be the golden research opportunity you have been waiting for your whole life.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 17:56:21 +0000Its so simple really I can't believe you needed to ask me . The real question is what makes you think otherwise ? There are around 70 million people in Thailand if there are less than 35 million in the ant cannabis lobby then they are in the minority The last anti cannabis petition amounted to 200,000 signatures in my book that is a minority How many members does Asean now have ? "how many reefer madness" idiots regularly make their annoying presence known on all the threads in the cannabis forum ? similar story some are for it, some are against it, most don't care "Its so simple really I can't believe you needed to ask me". So, if it's is so simple then give the specifics of your evidence that the anti-cannabis lobby is the minority. Your hypotheticals and "ifs" are just that, hypotheticals, they are not evidence, neither is your example of a 200,000 person petition - how many people were presented with that petition to sign, 70,000,000? "There are around 70 million people in Thailand if there are less than 35 million in the ant cannabis lobby then they are in the minority". Using your specious logic, there are around 70 million people in Thailand if there are less than 35 million in the pro-cannabis lobby then they are in the minority!Tue, 23 Jun 2026 17:52:22 +0000Over here in Malaysia, we have many incidences of parked ICE spontaneously catching fire. A week ago, 3 ICEs (a Toyota, a BMW and a Honda) caught fire at a Lotus supermarket in KL. Fire was believed to have started from the Toyota Velfire.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 17:52:18 +0000I would try do more obvious and scientifically proven stuff first. Like getting direct sunlight first thing in the morning to reset your circadian clock. I've been struggling with getting 8 hours and that seems to help me. I've also cut back on the caffeine. Only one cup in the morning instead of 2, and nothing else with caffeine (like cola) throughout the day. I've tried taking CBD and although that seems to help me relax, it doesn't seem to help me sleep any better.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 17:49:41 +0000Bore off Purdey what the f ks it got to do what happened in WW2. How about a bit of thought for these 12 old girls kidnapped and gang raped my these Monsters and your trying to defend them.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 17:49:09 +0000What is Gemini's Take on this?Tue, 23 Jun 2026 17:46:49 +0000What about the possession of a "cannabis" vape that more often than not, or even always, contains no cannabis but only synthetic cannabinoids?Tue, 23 Jun 2026 17:42:16 +0000Barely hyperbole, Jing. What would you call it if 100k Israelis, including women and children, were killed in a three-year period? A necessary tactic or a slaughter? So answer the question. Did the IDF wipe out Hamas, justifying the extent of the genocide? If they didn't, they're no better than murderers.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 17:37:44 +0000Of course not. They can't. They're neither intelligent nor strong enough. All the while the country is weakening. Fighting age Jewry fleeing. Not many friends left. Future funding? 2,000 million Muslims v 16 million Jewry, half of which are soft, fat north Americans. We all know what the future holds for Israel and the Jewry that stay there. Don't miss that last plane out, whatever you do. 🙂Tue, 23 Jun 2026 17:37:16 +0000Thanks for confirming that the Thai government is not "an illegal government". Having said that, if your characterisation of an illegal government was in fact true, then your own government and previous governments would also be/have been illegal and they also "should all be locked up", not just the Thai government, yes?Tue, 23 Jun 2026 17:36:48 +0000My understanding is that people know Burnham is left wing but they elected him anyway. This might mean they want someone who cares about the poor and old and has proven his dedication to greater Manchester rather that someone who never shows his face in his constituency or Parliament.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 17:35:46 +0000Heavily abridged. URL in title. [Opinion. Cut ‘em loose. Sink or swim time. If Israel can’t survive in land gifted by the Brits without US money and arms, then that’s taps. All she wrote. The fat lady sings. Time to end the gravy train. Just before the credits: “We’ll always have Somaliland.” Israel’s Suicidal Rupture with the U.S. Israel is turning on its last important ally in an act of suicidal hubris. Chris Hedges: 24 Jun 2026 Israel is sabotaging the negotiations with Iran and alienating its last important ally by refusing to halt its attacks on Lebanon and withdraw from its occupation of the south. It is determined to reignite a regional conflagration that could see Iran perpetually close the Strait of Hormuz and plunge the global economy into a global depression. And it continues its genocide in Gaza. Israel is contaminated by racism and genocidal violence. It is blinded by a repugnant moral superiority. It is corrupted by a class of Zionist billionaires in the U.S. who use their wealth to bend foreign policy to serve Israeli interests. It is equipped with a nuclear arsenal Israeli officials have repeatedly threatened to use. It is a menace to the region. It is a menace to itself. And it is a menace to us. Israel’s vision of a “Greater Israel,” designed to ensure Israel’s military dominance throughout the Middle East, depends on harnessing the wealth and military power of the U.S. Over two-thirds of the major arms and munitions Israel imports — without which it could not carry out its genocide of the Palestinians, turn southern Lebanon into a moonscape and bomb Iran, Syria and Qatar — are manufactured and provided by the U.S. And because the Israel lobby, for decades, has owned Congress, because its Zionists allies police and control the media, because it is able to siphon tens of billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to sustain its military adventurism, Israel is blind to its own limitations. It is willing to inflict harm on its allies, including the U.S., in service to itself. “If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world,” Vance retorted. Between 1946 and 2024, the U.S. is estimated to have provided Israel with over $300 billion in military and economic assistance, adjusted for inflation. The cost of the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan alone are estimated, by Brown University, to be between $4 to $6 trillion, with much of that to be paid in the coming decades in the form of medical and disability payments to war veterans and their families. This time the price is too high. Israelis, intoxicated by the fantasy of being the chosen people, do not have friends. They do not have allies. They have those they use and those they slaughter. Israeli leaders are so out of touch with reality they are threatening to go to war with Iran without the U.S. Avigdor Lieberman, the former defense minister and current leader of the far-right Yisrael Beiteinu party, has called for Israel to build a ballistic missile force and said that if he was in charge, he would direct the Mossad to overthrow the Iranian government.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 17:33:43 +0000I do not say your number is wrong. I am simply pointing to the escalation among young smokers after cannabis was decriminalised. And if the number is true, is that not a red flag in itself? 10% need cannabis for medical use? Mental health issues are already around 10% worldwide, and we know cannabis can affect mental health in people who are vulnerable and sensitive to the side effects of strong THC. The intention was medical use, not open recreational use and not public smoking everywhere. The mistake was not only decriminalisation itself, but how poorly it was handled afterwards. The government and police failed to make sure it was regulated as intended from day one. Most people who enjoy a few glasses of wine now and then, or an occasional beer, and have had positive experiences with alcohol, should not let that stop them from seeing the whole picture.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 17:32:10 +0000Holding Gemini’s Feet to the Fire?: Should Gemini pay for hallucinations? Dear Folks, How much could you collect if Gemini had to pay you for its hallucinations? Or, is this a non-issue? Do you ever become so miffed with Gemini, when it hallucinates, that you feel like taking Gemini to court? I don’t care when Gemini lies to me, but some do. Recently, a court in Germany has handed down a ruling that may hold Gemini legally responsible for…..FIBBING….. https://www.wired.com/story/a-court-has-ruled-that-google-is-liable-for-false-statements-generated-by-ai-overviews/ How will this play out? Do you feel sorry for Gemini? https://youtu.be/85VBfnJRJH4 (Does Paris actually have a ring in his nose? Why?) I am very happy with Gemini. The poor thing is always doing its very best, at least in my view. Best regards, GammaTue, 23 Jun 2026 17:30:16 +0000Entire population? Do you actually believe that?!?Tue, 23 Jun 2026 17:23:29 +0000April. Can everybody in the UK please check their gates and all gates within their vicinity. Has a gate near you become more squeaky? This could be a hate crime against Jews. Please report any gates that have intensified levels of squeakiness to the local Rabbi in order to report such hate-crimes to the King and Prime Minister.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 17:15:39 +0000The people of Myanmar need to pool their money and hire the PR firm that the people of Gaza use.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 17:08:24 +0000
