A good time was had by all. A lot of them didn't know what they were missing without a 2nd Amendment and a Redneck gun culture.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 01:50:55 +0000bye wanker.mp4Tue, 23 Jun 2026 01:50:31 +0000Well, it's about that time again. Has anyone had their SSA 7126 show up yet. I'm planning on checking the mail today just in case.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 01:50:30 +0000HoarseTue, 23 Jun 2026 01:48:52 +0000Thanks, I'd forgotten to mention that.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 01:48:17 +0000What "studies", and by who? In any event, the claim was that "...the death penalty is no deterrent whatsoever.". Again, if speeding were punishable by death, would fewer people speed?Tue, 23 Jun 2026 01:48:11 +0000Wonder what phone that was recorded on. It seems to have a studio quality microphone that is able to pick up his words with 100% clarity from 30 meters away, whilst at the same time managing to filter out all the speech coming from the police who are speaking at the same time. Quite strange to have such a high quality directional mic on a phone with a potato quality camera. I was expecting this to have Grenfell levels of media reaction considering the words the actor attacker spoke and the fact it was purely muslim victims. Strange the coverage has been so... muted.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 01:48:09 +0000I'm glad that he punched you in the nose, twice, and I mean that in the nicest possible way. Rather than hold it in, he showed you what was on his mind. Good for him!Tue, 23 Jun 2026 01:48:02 +0000I agree, But I think they would be on thin ice trying to prove he hasn't gifted just because he stays there now and again. It comes under ' support between spouses 'Tue, 23 Jun 2026 01:47:31 +0000The government fills the books with laws that are basically "advisory in nature". They only use them when it suits them or the price is not right.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 01:46:45 +0000For me there are a few reasons why I would never consider Vietnam. 1. From what I understand the retirement Visa is still an issue in Vietnam it's a fairly simple process here. 2. I find a lot of the people to be a bit like cold wet fish, very similar to the Chinese people on the mainland, not much humor, kind of heavy-hearted, they still have a bit of a chip on their shoulders, and it's never been my favorite country in the region. 3. I don't feel like the culture there is as welcoming for mixed couples as it is here in Thailand. 4. I don't like the government here and I never have, they keep on reaching towards the bottom of the barrel and the policy here is incredibly regressive, but I would not want to live in a country where I'm constantly having to deal with communist officials. 5. I've had some very positive experiences with the healthcare system here in Thailand, and I consider it to be on par or better than it is in the US for a fraction of the cost. Can Vietnam rival that? The upside in Vietnam is the food is excellent, access to fine wine at reasonable markup, much higher quality beer, a highly varied topography, with stunning beaches and very clear water, high quality seafood, and stunning women. I might be an exception as I see so many guys on here complaining about the Thai people, but I really like them. I find them to be quite delightful, light-hearted, humorous and fun to be around. What am I missing?Tue, 23 Jun 2026 01:46:24 +0000No need when there are puppet masters like Rachel Reeves and misfits like Angela Rayner. Hopefully, the UK labour party never has a useless incompetent PM like Liz Truss or a blunderer like Theresa May. Their collective legacy was a factor in the Starmer Labour landslide. The UK is now so financially impaired and damaged that not even Thatcher could fix the economy.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 01:46:24 +0000If you have a Thai SIM card, you can clear everything up no matter where you are. While registering with the new app, a message will be sent to your Thai number to verify. Their facial recognition program is not so good, so getting a proper image is cumbersome. The app continually gives instructions, like "lift your head a little" or "look right". The app wants maybe 270 degrees of one's head. Also, you only need the facial recognition one time. There's an opt-out for subsequent logging in. If that opt-out is chosen, the only time they will require facial recognition in the future is on transactions exceeding 200,000 baht. Yes, it's a bit of a pain in the backside, but it can be done, provided you can use a Thai SIM. Also, make sure your latest passport is linked to your account. A change does take an in-bank visit, plus the system takes about a week to upgrade to your new Passport #. If you use a laptop to transact, you go through the on line log in, and a QR code comes up. You then log into the app on your phone and scan the QR code appearing on your laptop. The laptop then intantly switches into your usual KBank interface, though confirmation of any transaction is done by touching a "Confirm" button on the phone. Technology can be labor intensive.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 01:46:17 +0000You are allowed to purchase and gift things to your wife!Tue, 23 Jun 2026 01:45:50 +0000Your ignorant comment is disgusting.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 01:44:17 +0000The quality of the water in the reflecting pool is a direct metaphor for the condition of Trump's mind, the lack of clarity and the extraordinary lack of coherence. He is a toxic mass. Saint Donald. Total revisionist history, a complete reformation of his entire career, and a total erasure of his past crimes, moral terpitude, and a total and complete willingness to overlook a lifetime of moral bankruptcy. I do have some friends that will come right out and say the man is a butthead, he's an idiot, and he's an absolute clown, but I like his policies. Those are the Republicans I admire. During the 20 years that Clinton, Obama and Biden were in office I was continually critical of their policies. Just look back at some of my posts when Obama and Biden were in power. I was not a big fan of Obama for many of the years that he was president and my posts reflect that. As a centrist democrat I criticized a lot of his policies. I see so little of that coming from Republicans these days, to point where their absolute fealty is actually quite frightening. Most just can't handle critique of Trump, they immediately clam up, get defensive and start making it personal. Instead of behaving like rational intellectuals and debating policy they just start throwing out nonsense, accusations that I've never criticized my own party, or that I get paid to be critical of Trump. That is not only ridiculous, it is inane. I wish somebody would offer to pay me to criticize Trump. I would spend my whole day doing it. Criticism and open mindedness is what independent thinkers engage in, and it sets them apart from dogmatic subjects of a wannabe king. I invite you to reflect on that for just a moment. With many people, once they got attached to a theory, it was hard to get them detached. They’d screen out unhelpful facts, invent favorable ones, and ignore contradictions in their own claims. Look at those Sandy Hook, multiple fraud convictions, and Jan. 6th truthers, babbling about false flags and crisis actors and all the rest. When people were motivated enough to believe something, they were going to believe it no matter what. There was no such thing as a bridge too far.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 01:44:05 +0000Got to get prepared for your secret cia missions huh, agent 88Tue, 23 Jun 2026 01:43:50 +0000But why would anyone believe her?Tue, 23 Jun 2026 01:43:43 +0000When a girl is passed from one to another, it's gang rape. Do you have a problem understanding the English terminology? You haven't seen any testimony from Pakistani women? How stupid are you? Do you think they would dare? You are either a fool or incredibly naive and shouldn't be posting, unless your sole objective is to cause upset, bait and goad other posters into responding to your blinkered vision.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 01:43:38 +0000The millionaires I personally know reside in no/territorial tax countries. Wealth/investments/business income are offshore and compounding. Tax rate is close to 0%. How much do the millionaires you know pay in tax on their entire wealth? Not sure they share the real answer with you. Once people have achieved a substantial amount of wealth one common practice to legally avoid paying tax (for those residing in tax hells) is just to borrow for their living expense against their assets in collateral. The more the wealth the less LTV ratio is. This works as long as the underlying assets grow at a faster rate than the interest compiles. To be on the safe side, loan can be timely refunded with extra gains as well.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 01:42:34 +0000Another genius. What are these people thinking? Do they deposit their common sense into a special locker somewhere? I think the driver did pretty well to get her property back. I hope they find the idiot and he is prosecuted.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 01:42:22 +0000Farage and johnson were largely responsible for degrading the UK's economy, border security and world standing. Reform would do even more damage. Farage, reform and restore are toxic.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 01:42:14 +0000So many directives, so little enforcement action. At least in the area where I live. I’m not sure that I see the point of directing this and that if it’s all ignored.Tue, 23 Jun 2026 01:41:28 +0000
