Road Safety in Thailand – a summary of Perceptions and Reality
Spidermike is right on in what he said. This is what I also replied to you. I have personally seen locals, every time I'm driving here, with no exceptions, taking risks that I didn't see but rarely when I drove in the states, Mexico, and Canada. I once, just for the hell of it, counted infractions when I drove the 30 kilos to the nearest big city from where I live. This is a two lane each way country road before the town limits. I saw 37 where any Texas policeman would have pulled them over and ticketed them. These included speeding, cutting people off, driving with more than two on a motorbike, no signaling, passing on the right, going into oncoming traffic to pass instead of using the next lane, weaving in and out of traffic, following too close, and not wearing helmets, although in Texas this is legal (isn't here). All were Thai drivers. You also keep on putting the race card into this, and this has nothing to do with what race or nationality they are. This is observation from someone that puts more miles annually on a vehicle than most other people besides over the road truckers. If I see a foreigner doing things wrong, I think exactly the same. They are unsafe, reckless, incompetent, careless and or selfish drivers. This is something a driver should learn when taught,and tested, before they get a license, and has nothing to do with roads, police, infrastructure, or anything else besides obeying traffic laws and caring about the safety of others and yourself, along with anyone riding with you. People all over drive without licenses, but here they put 8 year olds on scooters, and I see this all the time, both in my village and on roads to town and in town, but I never see these children pulled over. They say 10 children die here daily on the roads, and many of them shouldn't be driving anyway. This is a lack of caring from parents, if they actually have any around, and having less money is not an excuse for not wearing a helmet or driving under age. There are accidents daily worldwide, and bad drivers everywhere, but again, this is what I observe along with many others here, and the stats back this up. Not everyone here that gets into an accident does so in a faulty vehicle, is drunk while driving, or driving on a bad road. There are people with Mercedes that run over people on scooters, pull in front of them, making an illegal or rushed u-turn, bump them and have them fall, or hit them head on. This we see every week here, on the news, and that's only a fraction of what goes on here yearly. -

Russia’s economy is doomed
For balance, since you are actively monitoring the media, what is the Eastern MSM telling you, and do you believe those reports. Are you a Russian hospital administraor or health ministry employee. Because I'm not sure how you are in any position to discount Russian losses of "thousands of troops a week". The other way I suppose is to analyse death notices placed in Russian media. I suspect you are automatically discounting any source West of Minsk, on the basis of perceived bias, and instead have built your own spreadsheet of KIAs, to effectively counter Western claims. Care to share that, to get the "truth" out, or are you only trusting of the Russian government? The same Western sources were probably compiling losses in Iraq etc that you probably seized upon immediately as the ruth, -

Trump's Trade War to Raise Prices on a Wide Range of Products
It is a war, so that outcome is definitely possible. But it won't come to that, because long before it reaches that stage, the truth will be revealed and all humanity will join in fighting the globalists. But as your responses show, we have a bit of time left in this narrative before that outcome is made obvious. In the mean time, just know America is resolute in removing the globalist criminal syndicate from power. -

Current live music venues in Pattaya, Jan 2025
I've been in both. The one on Soi Baukhao is good. Friendly and pleasant staff. Great vibe. The one on LK the staff are pushy. Went a couple of times, same experience, never been back. -

BREAKING NEWS White House & Emmer Demand Apology from Jeffries “a sick call for violence.”
I have no idea what you're on about above. Once again, who are you calling paedophiles? Your evasion of the answer is quite telling.
