Tanyaluk Sakoot

Seafood buffet

georgegeorgia · Wednesday at 02:43 AM2 days

I would like to try a beautiful delicious seafood buffet I don't know where to go in Pattaya for this ,hence I'm seeking analysis on this project I'm not particularly concerned about price , but as I don't like crowds or people sitting near me , I don't like too many people where it's obnoxiously overcrowded where people are pushing shoving fighting for the food I find people seem attracted to me like honey to a pot , I could be in a restaurant say Sizzlers and there is hundreds of tables

Congress Randy Fine considers himself to be an Islamophobe and thinks it is "rational" be be afraid of the followers of Islam.

MPs fall silent as Jess Phillips lists the names of women killed by men in the last 12 months Nearly one in five women killed by men in the UK over the past year are suspected to have been murdered by their own sons, according to new data presented in Parliament. The stark figures emerged as Labour MP Jess Phillips read out the names of 108 women killed in the past 12 months during the annual International Women’s Day debate in the UK Parliament. Among them were 19 mothers whose sons are suspec

The International Left's Dangerous Appeasement of Iran, A Wake Up Call for Global Security! In an era where state sponsors of terrorism like Iran continue to escalate their nuclear threats, it's alarming to see elements of the international left, including disillusioned citizens of Western countries, turning a blind eye or even justifying such actions as responses to USA/Israel aggression, especially after repeated attempts at negotiations . This pattern of appeasement not only undermines glob

Intel report warns large-scale war ‘unlikely’ to oust Iran’s regime

Alan Zweibel · 21 hours ago21 hr

A classified U.S. report doubts that Iran’s opposition would take power following either a short or extended U.S. military campaign. A classified report by the National Intelligence Council found that even a large-scale assault on Iran launched by the United States would be unlikely to oust the Islamic republic’s entrenched military and clerical establishment, a sobering assessment as the Trump administration raises the specter of an extended military campaign that officials say has “only just b

Not from Australia. Jews can live wherever they want, as long as they comply with the law, as a majority do, wherever they live, same as any other people. Sadly Israeli's think they are above the law.

Britain ends hereditary seats in House of Lords after 700 years

JAG replied to ASEAN NOW News's topic in World News - Discussion

I honestly think that is, without sneering, utopian. The political establishment would very soon find a way to get a grip of candidates. A fixed term would allow members (Lords?) more freedom to defer from party policy, and proportional representation would result in a more representative house, maybe even more independents? Ideally there would be no "whipping system", although I am not sure how that could be done! The most important aim must be to avoid it becoming an echo chamber for The House of Commons. One great advantage of an elected system is that it would prevent long standing (sitting) MPs who have been rejected by their constituents from being "booted upstairs'.

Antisemitism…is all of us

unblocktheplanet · 6 hours ago6 hr

For me, the conversations we’ve been having here on racism and, more particularly, antisemitism have been very instructive. I’ve learned a lot by talking with all of you. Most of us are familiar with the story of the good German, the ordinary person who followed orders, no matter how far against morality or humanity they went. Eichmann’s defence at Nuremburg was, “I was only following orders.” They hanged him anyway. You see, that’s not good enough. We all like to think of ourselves as better

Dear Folks, You only live once, or so it is surmised by those who are no-longer among us.. And, I am thinking about going for the gusto in Shanxi, China. I have decided that ShanXi will be my new Plan B, if I need an escape destination. This is one place I have longed to visit, since I was 18. And so, I would like to know if anyone here has any experience living in Shanxi. I am an Old Friend of China, as I think I have mentioned in past comments.

After Aggressive Pruning: Can/will this tree even survive?

GammaGlobulin · yesterday at 10:21 AM1 day

Dear Folks, As we all know, most trees in the city, or the suburbs, get pruned. Most seem to survive this cutting. However, some never recover. At this time, I am worried about my favorite tree which has been growing near my property for some time, and which has provided me with welcome shade from the sun, during the Hot Seasons. I have no idea concerning the botanical name for this species of tree. I just know that it once was beautiful. My hope is that it will re-grow into its former se
