All pit, bully, American bully , staffordshire, and whatever else the fools what fancy these dogs want to call them to hide their true intent, well they are time boms. Maybe time to look at exterminating such breeds My personal opinion other than military and law enforcement Nobody should be allowed to keep a dog bigger than a Corgi -

Keir Starmer’s Pragmatic Approach to Defeating the Far Right: Filling Potholes
No, that was not your point. Everytime your point is proved wrong, you change it. Even if it was your point, it's wrong. A single person on an average national wage can buy any of the properties I posted. -

Thailand's Tourism Surge Threatened by Zero-Dollar Chinese Tours
The concept of the zero dollar tour is that you sell a package for less than the actual cost of the airline ticket and hotel room, and then make the money back by taking the passengers to shops selling wildly overpriced cr@p and browbeating them into buying. China and destination countries have been fighting these tours because they create an unpleasant and sometimes threatening experience for the participants, and ruin their opinion of the country being visited. Only in Thailand is the concern not about tourists being cheated, but only about the fact that local travel-related companies feel that they're not getting their share of the loot. Contrary to the travel industry claims that are spewed out in these identical articles that now come out every week, the zero dollar companies are not undercutting prices in order to drive local agencies out of business. Their business model is completely different, and they couldn't care less what legitimate companies are doing or charging - they just want to keep using low prices to pull in suckers who can then be milked at ripoff shops. And as for the claim that no money goes to Thailand, did these companies bring their own land from China, and their own hotels to put on that land, and their own beds to put in those hotels? Did they bring their own gasoline to fuel their buses? Did they bring all their own food? (And who cares if they did - do you know any Thai who has traveled overseas without a suitcase filled with Mama noodles?) If the problem is that foreigners own businesses illegally through nominees, then arrest the nominees and go after the officials who let the businesses be registered. If the problem is that Chinese products have been imported illegally, then go after the corrupt or incompetent Customs officials who let that happen. But those are separate issues from zero dollar tours. And if everything has been done legally, then there's nothing to see here. Despite what local companies seem to think, they do not have some god-given right to extract cash from every foreign visitor. If a Frenchman comes to Bangkok on Air France, stays at the Sofitel, and only eats imported snails and foie gras at French restaurants during his stay, has he somehow taken money from the pockets of Thais? -

Religion in Thailand
Why pick on Buddhism? It is no more or less of a fraud than any other cult. Why not ask why anyone is Christian, Islamist or Mormon? It is all the same set of lies and fraud. Your money and obedience today for a chance to beat death in the future. -

Looking to buy a new SUV - any recommendations?
MG cars are now indeed Chinese cars. "MG Motor cars were once engineered by SAIC at the Longbridge facility in Birmingham, UK. Longbridge was formerly home to Austin, British Leyland, Rover Group and, later, the MG Rover Group. Currently, most of the design, development and R&D takes place in China by SAIC Motor R&D Innovation Headquarters (SRIH)." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MG_Motor#:~:text=MG Motor cars were once,R%26D Innovation Headquarters (SRIH). However, this is very different in the case of Volvo. Volvo's biggest factory is Torslanda in Sweden. It's main design studio is in Sweden, though it has design subsidiary studios in Camarillo and Shanghai. It is completely FALSE to say all Volvo cars are made in China. The majority of Volvo cars are made outside of China. https://www.motortrend.com/features/where-is-volvo-made/ -

2 Chinese women and foreign-Thai couple clash in Phuket mall - video
From my experience, the Chinese are generally feeling entitled walking like the pavement belongs to them. Not inching a mm. So, my guess is that dude just didn't inch either and they bumped their shoulder into each other. The guy was OK with it, but the entitled Chinese women were offended because they intrinsically believe he has to make way for them. Just my theory. 😄 -
