Opinion : Why is the Dem party so toxic?
Perhaps because a lot of us think that it is toxic. However, you are always entitled to use the report function and ask a mod to change the title. -

Purple Blossoms Dropping Daily: What's the point?
I wonder the same of you. Most every day you drop some turd blossoms here, and I see no reason why. No rhyme of reason for 90% of your threads. Oh by the way that flower is edible and will turn anything you put it in to that purple color. When my kids were little they had a successful lemonade stand selling lemonade that was purple with the addition of a few ounces of purple water extracted from the blossoms. -

Looming Crisis: Private Schools Face Closures Amid VAT Hike
Wrong.It's a spiteful immoral policy which fails to achieve its very modest financial objectives. It's not clear at all (You provided a tainted source as your proof) but in any case that's not the issue. For most people, except leftist zealots, one of the purposes of life is to struggle to obtain a better future for their children.That's why rich middle class parents tend to buy houses in excellent state schools' catchment areas. What else do you want to ban to ensure equality for all - parental attention, reading habits, domestic stability, overseas holidays, extra tuition, excellent genes etc etc? All the things that give middle class children advantages in life? Here's an idea.Instead of spiteful attacks on excellent independent schools, how about encouraging co-operation between the two sectors and above all improving state schools. -

Why some of us did not get COVID symptoms …even though we were exposed.
This was early in the piece when Campbell supported vaccination. He changed his view on this when the truth started to come out. I'm wondering if this post will stay up but it certainly is interesting. -

Hotel Fire Near Khao San Road Leaves 3 Dead, Many Rescued From Roof
Well Thaiand has come a long way since the fire in the Royal Jomtien Beach resort Jomtien back in the1997 It started downstairs in the kitchen where they had the normal gas ring burners with the gas bottle inside. Aparrently the one of the hoses was leaking and a kitchen hand took it off the cylinder and instead of turning the gas off panicked and turned on more . Gas then filled the kichen and caused a fireball and that was it. with that the cooks headed for the hills instead of trying to put it out. It a long time for the fireries to arrive and by that time the smoke and fire had taken hold. People were jumping out of windows to escape and there was a meeting on the 2nd. floor and thats where a lot of victims perished.My mates and I went to have a look and we were amazed at the pathetic fire trucks That they had .They looked like something that would be used in outback Australia to fight a grass fire. They had no proper high extention ladders that could reach all 17 floors and very poor water pressure so they basically hasd to watch it burn out.Ended up with 108 dead..no sprinkiers...fire exits locked to stop people doing a runner without paying their bill..it was a complete stuff up . I wonder how many hotels today still lock their exits and don't have sprinkler systems fitted it's a bit scary If you search Royal Jomtien Beach Resort on you-tube there is a good story about it.
