If I had gone off about Roe v Wade, then sure the post should have been moved, but it was an off the cuff current comment that came into my head when reading the post I replied to. if I had posted the same thing in the USA thread it would not have made sense, since no one would know what the comment was referring to.

Mekong Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 Why is dean’s Thai 60 day tourist visa post allowed to stay in Visa’s / Legal section since it is about problems with Thai Consulate in the USA. By your metrics this makes it an American Centric Posting which belongs in the USA Thread. You see how pathetic your arbitrary what is and what isn’t considered “USA Thread” material really is.

Jeez lighten up, people come her for light hearted fun Ahh no, I'll be more clear. I wanted to reply to your comments : "Could be about USA 2022! " In this thread. But as my reply, referred Clarence Thomas and the USA, I made the reply in the USA thread. And linked to it This is because: A post I made in a new thread entitled "The Internet and the Democratisation of Knowledge" LINK ...was copied in it's entirety, with no quote marks, or reference to the original post, to the USA thread, even though it was not about the USA, and this was done with the admonishment "Keep it in the USA thread will ya?" appended. nuther LINK I was talking about dolts, filming themselves on the internet and my post was copied to the USA thread, meanwhile it attracted a reply in the USA thread. I didn't want the same fate to befall my "Clarence Thomas" post made in answer to yours "Could be about USA 2022! " in the Movies thread, so I made the appropriate references and links to provide guidance for the discussion thereof. _______ "What next unable to post about Marin Scorsese or Tom Hanks in this thread because they are “American”, unable to talk about Manchester United, Liverpool or Chelsea in the Football thread because the owners are “American” " please direct you question to the author of this post nuther LINK ______ "Jeez lighten up, people come her for light hearted fun" me too.

Palatkik Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 My Buddha Is Punk [2015] A Burmese group leader, obsessively pursues the dream of seeing the punk scene take off in Myanmar (in 2015!), while raising awareness about persistent violations of human rights. A symbiosis of Buddhism and punk that rejects religious and political dogma. An interesting German backed documentary with close up insight into Burmese life filmed before the recent turmoil that emphasizes the point albeit with little direction or conclusion. Recently available on some torrent sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 The Old Man TV Series 2022 4 episodes in and this is looking great. A former CIA officer, who's living off the grid, finds himself on the run from people who want to kill him. Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow shine, very good, in their opposing roles.

Palatkik Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 Nitram [2021] Award winning drama covers events leading up to the 1996 Port Arthur massacre on Tasmania. Fine performances in a disquieting movie offers a timely reminder of the problems of mental health and the ease of access to guns. One of Australia's best movies of recent years.
