Don’t kill the golden goose! Tax reforms may drive away expats
I'm not sure the Thais can't use computers. I find their driving license system very streamlined. Within hours they issue you with a brand new driving license complete with a nice picture of yourself. When I went to apply for my Thai TIN they issued me with one within minutes. And there's the 90-reporting system, a bureaucratic waste of time from our standpoint, but it doesn't it give Thai bureaucrats plenty of computer practice? -

Man Injured by Collapsed Toilet in Pattaya Rental Room Incident
Typically Thai toilet installations involve using some sort of glue/cement to attach fixture to tiles. IMO insane. Rock back and forth at all and can break loose. The installers (won't call them plumbers) also throw away the wax gasket that links toilet with sewer pipe. They don't use those "donuts" nor do they use anchor bolts. Having a new toilet put in while I am away. I was insistent they use proper bolts and gasket. Will they do it? Here is a diagram of how it should be done so that it works and lasts... -

Revisiting History: The Unlikely Campaign to Vilify Winston Churchill
You are completely wrong. Not only did the British government take the peace offer very seriously, they sought out German diplomatic staff to explore the peace offer, as the archives show: "Secret files made public today reveal how an Etonian fascist sympathiser was used by the British government in an ill-fated attempt to explore the possibility of a peace deal with Germany during the Second World War. Memos written by the security service, MI5, and released by the National Archives, show James Lonsdale-Bryans, who was known to hold extreme right wing views, was given Foreign Office clearance to make secret trips to Italy." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2008/aug/31/secondworldwar.nationalarchives In addition, William L. Shirer's account has long been discredited as a source. The book contains ludicrous made up nonsense such as Hitler chewing a carpet. Nobody in academia refers to this book. -

Foreign pickup driver flees after crashing into Thai woman in Phuket
I was parked and a Thai driver was teaching his son to drive. He hit the front wheel arch and caused a bit of damage. He just stopped and changed back into the drivers seat and gave me a quick wai and shot off while I was checking the damage. -

Trump Harris: Who won the debate ?
It is the moderator's obligation to point out factually incorrect information. The rules were straightforward. The two seated moderators were the only people asking questions. Moderators will ensure a civilized discussion. Insisting that immigrants were eating the cats, dogs, pets of Springfield despite there being no evidence to support the claim was not civilized. It was inflammatory and hateful. That is your subjective opinion. It is not evidence of an intentional lie as was the case with Trump. Your comments are consistently Pro Putin, Pro Trump. The Democrat Party candidate was selected by a vote of the delegates at the Democrat convention. President Biden had not been selected as the Democrat party candidate. Are you denying that there was a vote? Prior to the Biden withdrawal, the 2 people running were office were Biden and Harris. If people were opposed to Harris as the VP, they did not have to support the Biden ticket which included Harris. What is the lie about abortion? That is your subjective opinion which you keep regurgitating. We get it. You are opposed to VP Harris. You are opposed to support for Ukraine.You support Putin. We get it. No need to keep repeating. There was no invasion and there are not 20,000. Springfield is a city, not a town. How many times does it need to be repeated, that the city and county was dying as younger people, and entry workers fled the city and the county. The city, county and state were desperately trying to get people to come. The city once had a population of close to 71,000. Over the past 30 years, it slowly lost people. The city population is now approx 58,000. If the immigrant population is 12,000-15,000 it means that the city would have had a population of 43,000-46,000. Cities that lose populations like this die. Instead, the influx of immigrants provides economic life and a future tax base. More importantly, it doesn't stress housing. One of the biggest problems in the USA is affordable housing and Springfield was filled with vacant residential properties. The influx of immigrants will save the city. -

Worst Joke Ever 2024
May I suggest that it is about time that he retire? To those giving a sad emoji: Seriously? The guy must at least be in his late 90's, I for one would not border a plane with him as a pilot. ... Or, the joke is very old and in dire need for an update 😁- 1

He is Right...It is scary
Is this Weinstein character dyslexic or suffer from some other kind of neurological disability? Why can't he put what he wants to say in writing? Maybe because it's a lot more difficult to fact check and analyze arguments when they're spoken rather than when they're written?- 1

Driving to / from Bangkok best route now Rama 2 is a mess?
Only a couple fast trains per day and aircon cars almost always sold out a day or two ahead, so not that convenient. I also find their website very clunky trying to buy tickets online. -

Rising Wave of Anti-Semitism Sparks Fears of a Dark Future for Jewish Communities
Muslims ruled the mideast for over a millenia and in many regions Jews and Christians not only survived but thrived. Even in parts where they were treated poorly, they weren't put to death for not being Muslims. In fact Jews under Islam fared better than Jews in Christian Europe. Christians and Jews in the Balkans weren't persecuted by the Turks. In fact, under the Turks, Jews were allowed to own land and to farm. This had been denied them when Orthodox Christian kings and czars war in power. The populations in the Balkans remained majority Christian orthodox In areas where the Mughals ruled India,for most of their time in power, they were tolerant of Hindus even though Hindus are polytheists.
