Civil Judgment Against Trump Reversed
Mate - we are not like the irrational and lunatic lefties with that mental suffering problem. Conservatives are more 'conservative' about such things I recall when Reagan and Thatcher died and had their funeral processions attacked and abused by the woke lunatic lefties. We are not like that - we have rational thinking and moral values and honour - although there are some woke lefties that also do that as well (not many but some). -

Civil Judgment Against Trump Reversed
The wins just keep piling up. I have a feeling that if GOP can hold the House after the mid-terms that a certain Nobel Peace Prize winner is going to be made very uncomfortable over the actions he took between the time Trump won the election in November 2016 and Trump's inauguration in January 2017. At the very least he will be forever branded as a traitor, but hopefully it will result in all future losing POUTS' being removed of their decision authorities after losing an election, with an independent organisation made up of the 2 Leaders of the House and the 2 Leaders of the Senate and the Speaker of the House. In all other civilised countries that I know of, the Head of the Govt steps down immediately if they lose an election. By all means gives the POTUS a period of grace to tidy things up and facilitate the handover, but remove their power to direct the Military or any Government Office or Personnel. All existing directives made prior to the election stay, until the new POTUS is sworn in, unless the interim 5 Leaders decide something must be changed.- 2

Accident Foreign Tourist Fights for Life After Patong Hotel Plunge
Because you don't know how to research information and instead apply oversimplified and dumbed down logic. Also, different studies will establish slightly different figures - thus mathematically comparing the outcome of one study to another is clearly going to give slightly conflicting results, only a flawed mind would look for numerical perfection when attempting to use results from different studies - you have to accept that there are differences and understand the general trends. Its is fact: There is a clear difference in height between the Urban and the Rural Thai's (reasons explained (again) below) there is also an increasing trend in average height over the decades and this is backed up by the ministry of public health projections and other studies. ----------- A baseline study carried out by Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University (STOU) was conducted in 2005 and recruited 86,105 adult distance-learning students (aged 15–87 years, median age ~30). Urban vs Rural Height Differences in Thailand Adult Heights by Birth Cohort (1940–1990) A large national study (the Thai Cohort Study, >86,000 adults) analysed secular trends in adult height across birth cohorts. Men (born 1986–1990, now adults): - Urban-born: 172.4 cm - Rural-born: 169.6 cm - Difference: ~2.8 cm Women (born 1986–1990, now adults): - Urban-born: 160.3 cm - Rural-born: 158.5 cm - Difference: ~1.8 cm For the oldest cohorts (1940–1955), the urban–rural differences were much smaller: - Men: 166.9 cm (urban) vs 166.0 cm (rural) (~0.9 cm gap) - Women: 156.5 cm (urban) vs 156.0 cm (rural) (~0.5 cm gap) Secular Height Increases (per decade) Men: - Urban-born: +1.50 cm per decade - Rural-born: +1.01 cm per decade Women: - Urban-born: +1.32 cm per decade - Rural-born: +0.91 cm per decade Why the Gap Exists The widening urban–rural difference reflects cumulative effects: Urban advantages: better nutrition, healthcare, sanitation, parental education, and family wealth. Rural disadvantages: persistent undernutrition, larger family sizes, lower birth weights, and limited access to healthcare. Generational lag: urban populations benefited sooner from Thailand’s rapid development, while rural populations improved more slowly. So in short: the “urban vs rural” difference is a 2–3 cm gap for men and about 2 cm for women among adults born in the late 1980s, whereas older generations had a smaller gap - this is down to the improvements seen (mentioned above) where greater improvement has occurred in rural area.s ----------- There have also been projections carried out by Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health (2021) In March 2021, the Ministry announced that growth charts for children and young adults had been revised upward: The 1995 standard average height at age 19 was 165 cm (men) and 159 cm (women) - across the nation. The revised standard projects average heights to reach 175 cm (men) and 162 cm (women) by around 2026, and even higher by 2036. These are projections, not measured data - but they illustrate positive expectations for future growth trends and this is based on 'improved' nutrition, healthcare, sanitation, parental education, and family wealth across the nation. You can do your own research and find conflicting numbers, nevertheless, if capable, you will find a) an improvement in height over time, and b) a disparity in height between urban and rural Thai's (where such information exists) - and this information contracts your 'off the cuff comment' that "out in the sticks people here are not generally shorter than average in Thailand"... You are wrong and the data shows it. Whether or not this impacts the heights of balcony's I'm not sure - I suspect the builder in cheaper or older buildings placed balconies at whatever height they felt like with little oversight, this may be referenced to their own height and they may have been shorter than average (as someone pointed out), hence a lot of people find the balconies quite short here, particularly in cheaper, older buildings, whereas newer, more modern and higher end buildings and hotels generally meet or exceed what would be considered international standards. So, next time you pull an observation out of your backside to contradict someone - just think about it a little, thats all.... -

‘It doesn’t matter now if they are children’
Let me fill that gap: Do you know Benjamin Mileikowski? try Netanjahu Gal Greenstein? try Gadot David Grün? try Ben-Gurion Golda Mabovitch? try Meir Yitzhak Rubitzov? try Rabin The reason for changing their names was to conceal the past. Zionists gave Hebrew names to people and places to erase 2800 years between the fall of ancient Israel and the birth of modern Israel. Like all successful criminals they are trying to rewrite their past.- 1
