Trump was asked tough questions, and couldn't answer. So he deflected. -

Which Policies do you support?
I support a woman's right to chose let me be clear on that..not at you...but I also support the man's right to chose. Let me explain. When a woman is pregnant it's her body her choice that's well established. But then once the baby is born all of a sudden I'm 50 percent responsible. Sorry hun. Your body your choice remember. So why then if I simply say your body your choice am I still held responsible for the well being of said child. -

MOPH’s plan to rub out illicit activities in Thai massage shops
I don't understand your point. Are the girls inside massage parlours having sex doing it in full view of families and children? So why are they cracking down on it, was my point. Also, I thought paid sex (prostitution) was illegal in Thailand? If it isn't illegal, as you say, then again, why are they cracking down on it? -

Trump's Controversial Remarks at Black Journalists' Convention Sparks Outrage
As for being black, she said it plainly: “I am black and I am proud to be black. I was born black. I will die black and I am not going to make excuses for anyone because they don’t understand.” From 2019. This is about the ignorance of the Trumpers, not Kamala Harris' DNA.- 1

Isnt California an abortion Sanctuary State? I think the issue is a double edged sword anyway. As is the anti Catholic animus of the Democrats. I can remember the old days when every Democratic function had a priest. Stoner, try this one for your afternoon stoner reading event, if you havent already. Thats how the Dems roll. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/328032.Five_Points -

Thailand will go further than legalising same-sex marriage – PM
I really can't wait until the first gay foreign guy marries a gay Thai guy and then wants the same path to citizenship that is offered to foreign women married to Thai men plus not being burden with any financial requirements other than contributing to his husband's 20K / month financial requirement his husband will need to meet. And then the shrieks of horror when the first gay foreign woman marries a gay Thai women and is forced to maintain the 40K/month or 400K in a Thai bank financials in order to "visit her wife during her one year extension of stay - as well as having no path to citizenship. Yeah baby - that's gonna but interesting to watch! Stand by! -

Southport Stabbing: Child Killed and Several Injured in Taylor Swift-Themed Workshop Attack
It is not us who are the brain dead, we argue our points, it is the people who just smear and never engage in debate because they can't who are clearly the intellectually challenged ones. Your post proves this, just an insult. That's it. Just another typical Leftie name calling. Feel free to counter my point above, if you can. Explain the basis for 'lowlifes'. Define 'lowlife 'What is your supporting arguments for this? Do you have any idea how pathetic you come across as to a normal person? -

English speaking facilitators at private hospitals...
I have been to hosptials numerous times in Thailand - and only ever speak in English with the Doctors treating me. I expect them to speak English and IF they are not fluent enough, that means for me that they are not up to date with international advancements. There has never been any additional charge with Doctors speaking English, an additional translator has never been required. IF however an 'additional facilitator' is required - then I imagine there would be a charge - perhaps in a provincial hospital etc. -

Cheap Charlies blocked my review
I was very very sick in Pattaya last year. I actually had a flesh eating bug in my leg, and had daily trips to Bangkok Hospital to fight for my leg to not be amputated (it was no joke). I was on heavy drugs, lucid sometimes, very erratic and moody. I probably came across as a candidate to be an under 35 year old mental health patient. My attempts to be pleasant were used to try to moderate the days I just could not smile because of the pain and fear, as well as a dose of psychological trauma I was going through. The staff at Cheap Charlies on Buakhao pulled me through, their chicken meals (which I recommend, but the full size was too big for me) got me through my time recovering, the staff knew I was unwell and were always extremely kind to me. Not a single staff member showed an ounce of unfriendliness towards me, I was never asked for a tip. The only thing that used to irk me was that demand for the deserts was high enough that when I managed to motivate myself to go outside, the local cheap charlies had already beaten me to the apple pie, or whatever desert was on special for the day. The card for me was worth it, I ate there at least once, often twice daily, virtually every day for a month. Without that place and their western orientated food at a good price being so close to where I stayed, my recovery would have been much worse. The waiters and waitresses at the restaurant were my daily dose of normalcy, watching the behavior of some of the wackheads that used to walk in with the most bizzarre behavior was amusing, but in general most customers appeared "normal", if we as Farang can be seen as "normal" in Thailand. p.s. The staff that I saw on Buakhao were all Thai, we spoke in Thai and they did not have Thai Lao, Lao, or Khmer accents when we spoke. Had I picked up on it, I would have asked them. There are Khmer and Lao people in Pattaya, they tend not to be Front of House on mainstreet restaurants. Isaan yes, Khon Lao or Khmer Khrom at Cheap Charlies, no.- 1

English speaking facilitators at private hospitals...
It really would depend on the specific hospital in question and their policies / practices toward tourists / expats. I always ask for, and am provided, a detailed billing statement in EN of just what I'm being charged for and at what prices... Though I usually have to make a specific request when paying the bill to get that. Oddly, the private hospitals almost never seem to voluntarily provide that, absent a specific request. Normally, in my experience, a hospital staff assisting with language translation issues with other TH-only speaking hospital staff wouldn't involve any extra charges. However, if someone requested or was assigned some kind of specialized nursing service for some reason, that most certainly would trigger added charges. Also, in general, there are well-established policies and practices at various private hospitals whereby tourists and/or expats are charged higher prices than Thai nationals would be for the same exact medical services....
