      Harris mingled with Tehran regime operative who promotes terrorism

      Let me see, Trump has a private meeting with Putin with only his translator present. No other staff. He comes out saying he believes Putin when he says Russia didn't engage in any hacking during the 2016 election despite our intelligence services saying the opposite.. (24 hours later the ignoramus recanted) Do I need to remind you of his Singapore memorandum and how he claimed it was of great significance even though it said nothing. And the bromantic walk he took with Kim?

      Help needed to understand some points of a farang buying a house in Thailand.

      Your safest option if you want to own property would be to buy a condo in foreign quota. Your name would be on the title deed and you would be the sole owner of the condo, with all that entails. Foreign quota condos are often easier to sell, as they are seen as more desirable for a foreign buyer. This is especially true if foreign quota becomes full in a project, which can happen with some projects popular with foreign buyers. I would in most cases not buy a condo in Thai or Company name. Several posters have said only rent but if you think you will be here for the long haul, buying can have some advantages. I always like paying myself each month, rather than the landlord. As we have seen with a recent thread of a buyer complaining about airport noise after he bought his condo, it's important to take your time before any condo purchase. Do your homework and find out as much as you can about the project you are interested in, including condo fee, foreign quota availability, project financials, observations of project maintenance, condition of pool, gym and other amenities, ratio of owner-residents to renters, any problems with illegal daily renters, abundance of, or lack of, parking. If possible, talk with some residents and make a number of visits to the project at different times of the day. Buying property is a big purchase, at least it is for me. Select the area you want to live in and then see as much property available for sale as you possibly can. Again, go slow and gather all the information you need before purchase--it's too late to check on airport noise after you have bought the property. As the buyer, you are in the driver's seat. Don't be rushed by agents into making a purchase, whether condo or house. I would not even consider buying a house on leased land. Leasing is renting and I'm not a renter--but that's me. If you are only interested in a house purchase, buying in company name is an option.

      Nothing more than pedantry, as replacing 'EU' with 'EEC' has absolutely no effect on my argument. However, if it makes you happy: You're right. The EU did not exist in 1991, so I should have stated, " ...would West Germany's allies in the EEC ... The article was linked to on page 2 of this thread and I replied to it there. I'm surprised that you didn't notice that.

      Trump Goes Full Racist

      Biden supporters are even more stupid as they believe Biden isn’t a racist. Google search will reveal it all. I’ve proven it already. But the stupidest one of them all believes Election Day is December 5th. A vote for Harris confirms their stupidity.

      He can't anyway. 🤣 I don't think it's because they hate foreigners. Probably either: a) they don't speak English b) they don't want the hassle of doing all the necessary immigration stuff c) they have no recourse if a foreigner trashes the place and leaves the country or leaves without paying his bills.

      Ukraine ... Enlighten yourself

      You are perfectly entitled to your opinion, but to imply that those who share that opinion, " ... can look at reality and judge it on its merits ... (while those who hold to an alternative viewpoint) .... have to invent a wholly imaginary narrative", is imo diametrically opposite to the truth.

Tunisia's health minister resigns after 11 babies die in hospital

 

TUNIS (Reuters) - Tunisia's health minister Abdel-Raouf El-Sherif resigned on Saturday after 11 babies mysteriously died within 24 hours in a hospital in the capital, state news agency TAP said.

 

The health ministry and state prosecutors have launched investigations into the cause of the babies' death which was likely due to a blood infection, it said.

 

Tunisians have complained about a decline of state services since the overthrow of Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali in 2011 which has brought a democratic transition but also thrown the country into an economic crisis.

 

Government critics say the public sector is rife with corruption.

Further evidence that not all countries a better run as a democracy. Afghanistan, Iraq and Lybia front and center, pseudo-democracies like Egypt and most of Africa which have tribal or religious divisions are all failures as well. Maybe in another couple of generations, we shall see.
