  1. Jeez, while all the attention is on the southern border, violent illegal Canadians are slipping in from the north.
  2. Voltaire or possibly a biographer of his giving the essence of what the man was about. Whatever, the most wonderful words ever written. Better than any legal blather about free speech.
  3. I love this thread! It's a meta-thread. It's a thread about what threads should be and not be. All of us here are transcendental thread gurus.
  4. You tip your hand there. Lots of credible reports questioning what exactly happened at the Pelosi residence. But we don't want you shut down for your obvious bias. Nor them. Well, my friend, what to you is a debatable idea might be drivel to someone else. And vice versa. Again, the point is neither you nor I nor anybody else should have veto powers over others right to express themselves.
  5. Lordie, just keep out content that is illegal (according to local laws, porn, etc.) and/or spam. It's not hard.
  6. Why? What prevented you from rolling your eyes and scrolling on? The idea is that you be in charge of what you can read, not someone else who has their own set of biases nor an algorithm coded by persons with their own biases. Added: Sometimes I see posts here I myself think are silly which have been upvoted multiple times. So, apparently, we don't all have the same tastes. Good. You think/say what you believe, I'll do the same.
  7. Well, we see the seeds of the conspiracy theory to replace "Russia dunnit": voters intimidated by officers asking their name and where they live.
  8. A warning shot. The Army brass, who run the country, probably told the hitman not to kill. Now, Imran has to make up his mind what to do. Nevertheless, the man has balls to lead an anti-establishment movement the way he has.
  9. Soccer #1, of course. As for cricket, I would say the limited overs formats rather than test cricket. Heck, a close T20 game can be as exciting as any football match.
  10. Trust me the MSM will not let Democrats down in reporting all that's wrong with their opponents. Yet they lose. Fearmongering and sneering aren't a winning combination.
  11. Hmm. 2020 election deniers are a dire threat to our democracy. However, denying Trump won fairly in 2016 by blaming Russia and impeaching him out of spite not once but twice, was to save democracy. Makes sense. Throw the hypocrites out. Though I doubt much will change in a lot of important things. Because we are a corporatocracy and Big Money tends to get its way.
  12. How do you plan to bequeath a property you are not (legally) the owner of when you die? And would your sister prefer to be left a house 8000 miles away (that she can't own either) or cash? As others have suggested your best bet is to rent. That way you are in full control of your assets and can leave them to be transferred to your sister.
  13. The guys had an arrangement with a mamasan to discreetly send them young-looking 30-year olds? No. They knew exactly what they wanted. Gary Glitter isn't the only farang perv who found his way to these parts.
  14. It's true about nanochips being embedded inside vaccine molecules. I know this from my own experience. Soon after getting my first Pfizer shot last year I was working on my PC when at one point I needed to install a software which happened to be non-Microsoft open source. As soon as I brought the cursor over the download button I felt a searing pain in my arm and an unseen forced straightened my elbow and raised my arm violently upward so I was like a cop stopping traffic. Bizarre. I tried again and the same thing happened even more forcefully. The only way I could see around this was to get someone else to do the installation steps for me. So I had my as yet unvaccinated gf sit down at the computer and follow my instructions. It went fine except next day I woke with a raging fever and was down with Covid for a miserable week. So, what you say about a conspiracy of the globalists to intimidate the rest of us into submission is true. However, after searching the dark web I found a way to rid the body of these nefarious silicon spies. It is intense UV exposure. Accordingly, this morning I went to a local park, took of my clothes and lay naked on a bench. Unfortunately, not 10 minutes went by before I was arrested for lewd behavior. I tried to explain to the policemen that my intention was prophylactic not lascivious and even offered to show them the evidence on my laptop. But it was of no avail. I am currently in jail custody. May I ask your help as I am currently short of the funds for private legal representation?
  15. You shouldn't be joking about a serious matter. People are dying.
  16. Sweetheart, did you not buy American at all when they were pillaging Iraq.
  17. Google Putin approval rating and take your pick.
  18. Google "Putin approval rating". Take your pick of the source.
  19. And he's hugely popular in Russia itself. As is the war to save their brethren in Eastern Ukraine. Which doesn't fit the western narrative at all.
  20. You are right. Which would explain their absence. Another reason for even those who might be exempt not traveling is the currently horrible exchange rate for their currency. Out of curiosity poked my head into xe.com and saw a couple of puzzling charts. The Russian RUB to THB rate took off like a rocket couple of weeks into the war, peaked end of June and has stayed relatively high. Ukrainian UAH to THB also took off right after the war though not as sharply and then end of July dropped like a stone losing looks like 30% of its value in a day and is still low though it has picked up some over the last month. This is weird. Russia is being throttled by sanctions so there's obviously less demand for RUB to buy their exports, which means the currency should drop. Ukraine on the other hand has billions of dollars pouring in which will have to be used to buy UAH to be spent there so the value of the currency should go up. No? Will someone who understands economics kindly explain the anomaly.
