Dear Aussie Folks:

 

I feel sorry for you because....you have no vote.

 

You are like SECOND-CLASS citizens...or...more apropos of your history....you are like USA prisoners in USA prisons....

 

Without a vote.

 

Yes, my friends, from DOWN UNDER....

 

We know you would LOVE to vote in the USA presidential election this November 5th...BUT....America does not allow you to vote.

 

Do you feel left out?

Just like those locked up in USA prisons?

 

Harris wants to give Australians the vote in the USA....as you know.

Just like she wishes Americans in American prisons could vote, too.

 

Here is a video which explains this issue, lucidly:

 

 

I have, in the past, had a few Aussie friends.

Mostly, they think the same way as I, about most important Topics.

 

If I had my way, and if I were Prez, the first thing I would do would be to give Aussies the vote, in America.

 

Also, why do so many Aussies want to leave Australia and come to Thailand, I do wonder.

 

IF only I were Australian, then I would just lie on the beach, soak up the sun, and drink SUDS all day....

 

What do they call a case of beer in Australia....?

 

They call it a SLAB of Beer, or something.

 

I do not understand this terminology.

Why a SLAB and not a CASE of beer....

 

Anyone know?

 

Best regards,

Gamma

Why just allow Australia to vote? Just a potential of 17 million eligable votes possible anyway.

Bring in the whole western world to vote on who governs USA as the country is so important to us all.

That could break the dead lock between the two parties .

If voting in Australia was not compulsory, the turnout would mirror America.

 

Second-class Australia does not have the largest prison population in the world.

 

Second-class Australia has never had to teach its schoolchildren how to avoid getting shot.

 

Second-class Australians don't have to bankrupt themselves buying prescription drugs to keep themselves alive.

 

AFAIK no Australians have marched on their seat of government for the purpose of overthrowing it.

 

We have enlightened laws on voluntary euthanasia and abortion.

 

Our last mass shooting was almost 30 years ago. Unlike Americans, we saw sense.

 

We are in control of who comes to our country.

 

I suppose it's too much to ask the OP to think, before posting egregiously stupid garbage.

I've got the OP posts blocked but is there any way to block his threads as well so I don't have to constantly see his dribble clogging up the Pub sub-forum where he seems to live?

 

Wish it was like a real pub where political discussion is banned and loud obnoxious people always trying to be the centre of attention are quickly encouraged to piss off 😉

Americans should not be allowed to vote for US President anymore. Leave it up to a vote of the Ambassadors of the United Nations in total. Any tie to be decided by the unanimous decision of the Secretary General.

I'm guessing you're another typical American overseas who always has to be the loudest person in the bar because you think the World revolves around the USA and you want everyone to know it 

 

This whole thread is moronic and just another way to talk politics outside the political soapbox thread

Nowt wrong with some populace culling.

 

US should have an annual purge.

 

This is not a test.

This is your emergency broadcast system announcing the commencement of the Annual Purge sanctioned by the U.S. Government. 

Weapons of class 4 and lower have been authorized for use during the Purge.

All other weapons are restricted. 

Government officials of ranking 10 have been granted immunity from the Purge and shall not be harmed. 

Commencing at the siren, any and all crime, including murder, will be legal for 12 continuous hours. 

Police, fire, and emergency medical services will be unavailable until tomorrow morning at 7 a.m. when The Purge concludes. 

Blessed be our New Founding Fathers and America, a nation reborn.

May God be with you all

Let me help you out. It's estimated 20% of Australians have convict ancestry.

 

I guess dumb posts from drunks propping up bar stools at 9 am are only to be expected on threads like these.

Would you believe that I have not set foot in a Thailand bar in over a decade, since I first arrived, this visit?

 

It's true.

      Deadlocked Between Trump and Harris in NBC News Poll as Election Approaches

      Trump let 3 million illegals into this country. It would have been more, but COVID stopped them. As for inflation, tell me about the impact of Trump's tariffs on the current 2.2% inflation. The economy is at an all-time high. As a foreigner, you probably aren't benefitting from the US economy booming. I made a fortune on the stock market this year, so your gaslighting doesn't impress me.

      Six Thai Police Officers Arrested in 300 Million Baht Fake Warrant Scam

      Cyber cops caught in 300 million baht web of greed by Petch Petpailin Photo via Thai Rath Nine Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB) officers and three additional suspects allegedly attempted to extort 300 million baht from a Vanuatu-Chinese couple. Ten suspects were arrested while two others remain at large. The Vanuatu man named Sai and his Chinese wife reported to officers at Bang Sue Police Station that a group of men claiming to be police officers swindled 5.7 million baht from him. The couple stated that the group included police officers, a Thai interpreter named Apartsara Sonklin and her Chinese husband named Yun Daliang. According to Sai, the group raided his home in the Bang Phli district of Samut Prakan province, presenting a document with the royal warrant and garuda emblem of Thailand, which convinced the couple to allow a search. Each police officer communicated with Sai and his wife through Apartsara, who acted as their interpreter. Apartsara read out a legal document to the couple, claiming that a Filipino suspect, who was arrested for making counterfeit passports, confessed that Sai was involved in the crime. Sai firmly insisted on his innocence, stating that he had no involvement in producing fake passports and did not know any Filipino suspects in the case. The situation escalated as the group seized the mobile phones of the couple, their housemaid, and Sai’s Chinese friend. They also inspected Sai’s computer, claiming they needed to search for evidence. 300 million baht demanded The group then offered the couple an ultimatum: pay 300 million baht, or 10 million USDT, to have all legal cases dropped. Sai refused, believing in his innocence. Consequently, the police took Sai, his wife, his Chinese friend, and the maid into their car. During the journey, the officers lowered their demand to 10 million baht, but Sai still refused. The group eventually brought them to the Cyber Crime office, where only Sai and his wife were taken to a separate room. Under pressure, Sai transferred a total of 5 million baht in both baht and USDT to the group. The cryptocurrency transfer went to Apartsara’s account but Sai did not disclose the destination of the baht transfer. After receiving the money, the corrupt officers took photographs of the couple, their maid, and Sai’s friend, then returned their mobile phones and allowed them to leave. However, Sai’s computer remained with the group. On October 17, around 1pm, Apartsara contacted Sai, claiming she knew who was behind his recent arrest but would only reveal the information if he transferred 700,000 baht. Sai agreed and made the transfer to Apartsara’s cryptocurrency account. However, after receiving the funds, Apartsara blocked Sai and provided no information. Suspects deny An investigation by Bang Sue Police Station officers confirmed nine genuine police officers and three others involved in the case, including six police officers and one Thai civilian: Police Lieutenant Colonel Chanachai Jaikla Police Captain Amnuay Kongklin Police Captain Thanakrit Kanchanamart Police Senior Sergeant Major Chayaphon Wongpan Police Senior Sergeant Major Pongthep Sangkala Police Senior Sergeant Major Manassawee Janyaluck Police Senior Sergeant Major Siam Thongmon Police Senior Sergeant Major Suphan Kongsai Police Sergeant Major Kittiphum Jeenplaengchart Warut Wanthongsook Apartsara Sonklin Apatsara’s Chinese husband, Yun Daliang Three of them surrendered at Tung Song Hong Police Station following the summon request including Thanakrit, Suphan, and Kittiphum. Police officers arrested more suspects on October 28, but Apatsara and her Chinese husband remain at large. The suspects were charged under Section 149 of the Criminal Code: requesting, receiving, or agreeing to receive property or benefits and committing illegal acts while holding an official position. The penalty ranges from five to 20 years of imprisonment, life imprisonment, or a fine of 100,000 to 400,000 baht. All suspects denied the allegations and requested bail, providing cash and property as collateral. They were granted bail and must submit documents to clarify their actions within seven years.

      Lost por ror bor sticker

      Hi I recently transferred a motorbike into my name and got the por ror bor sticker. Unfortunately I already lost it. I attached it to my license plate in a round plastic holder which seems to have disappeared. It might have gotten stuck somewhere behind another motorbike when trying to get out of a tight parking spot. It's hard to find info online but from what I've found so far ... is it true I need to go to the police station to report it and then go to the transport office to get a new one? Or is there an easier way?

      "I know that this is probably a forlorn request, But is it possible to stop continuously updating the forum. It seems as though every week there are changes." There are not "continuous updates". There have been technical issues for a considerable time and they must be addressed. Explanation of what has happened etc is explained in the public notice. The forum had been technically neglected for a considerable time, the new owners have invested a lot to rectify those issues and move forward with a new and improved experience for the members.
