  1. Probably so. Their coastal monitoring sites and capabilities have no doubt been blasted to smithereens. Now they will take refuge in their bunkers and caves, bolt holes and bung holes from where they can continue the never-ending conflict in and around Isael.
  2. ...and a lot of people worldwide are mighty grateful for that. Incidentally, what have the Swiss ever invented?... the cuckoo clock? I'll take the bum gun any day of the week. What about the Australians? Their list of inventions would be a short one, I'm sure. Sub-Saharan Africa? The Thais with their bum guns and tuk tuks don't look so bad after all.
  3. It's a mythological animal often reported seen - especially on full-moon nights - but no hard evidence of their existence has been produced so far 😁 Seriously Teach... just google it.
  4. Hear! Hear! You really hit a raw nerve with that one. Bravo! The responses - mostly from the usual suspects - are verging on the ludicrous.
  5. Exceptionally good post. It's in stark contrast to the clueless drivel that dominates this thread. Your own experiences are shared - to one extent or another - by most of us who were here before the economic boom and mass-tourism of the 1980's that changed Thailand out of recognition. One point you didn't make about marrying and settling down here is the importance of learning Thai. Living in a country and not speaking the language and being functionally literate is like being deaf, dumb, and blind once you leave the tourist ghettos. You just don't know what's going on around you. Some people seem to be born with an aptitude for learning languages... I wasn't, but I overcame it to learn Thai because I didn't want my wife and children to see me as an illiterate who couldn't speak the language. I would have been a lasting embarrassment to them all. That's a piece of advice that should be seriously considered by anyono planning to make Thailand - or any foreign country - their new home.
  6. That's true. However, Leona went to jail because she had the audacity to tell the truth about those who pay taxes and those who get a free ride. That quote (to her housekeeper) came out in open court and sealed her fate. That conclusion is often questioned, but how many other high-profile tax cases involving zillionaires result in prison sentences? If they do, it is usually a matter of months in some posh Club Fed.
  7. As in the USA there will be loop-holes, bolt-holes, and bung-holes for the wealthy and well-connected to go into. Leona Helmsley nailed it a long time ago when she said "Only the little people pay taxes."
  8. Spot-on. Regurgitating a rancid word-salad that every MIC/Zionist shill knows by heart won't alter the simple fact that since WWII - and especially since the Vietnam War - US foreign policy has been an ongoing disaster. America's military fiascos need to be protested against by everyone who is appalled by the senseless slaughter of non-combatants that they inevitably result in.
  9. Just another tourism booster from the usual suspects. Hopefully it will be scotched before it becomes a ghastly reality.
  10. What will her main duties be? Thailand and Sweden seem to be polar opposites in every conceivable sense of the term. Sex tourism is the only obvious nexus. Swedish "men" coming and Thai "brides" going. Anyway, best of luck Anna.
  11. So did I. It looks like they're preying on each other out there in the bush.
  12. H.L. Mencken nailed it down a long time ago: "As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
