  1. Looking rough and tough... The situation here in Germany's fourth wave turns dramatic, especially here in Bavaria and in Saxony, federal states the vaxination rate is lowest. Hospitals are getting close to their limits. Reasons are to a large part the low vaxxination rates combined with several political issues. For one we have not learned our lessons from last autumn and opened up too early. We are in transition from the old government, which is now a caretaker government to the new government coalition, which is presently forming. We may have been to intimidated by the discourse fields of corona deniers, and wanted to avoid political tensions. As to the corona deniers, German society did not exactly live up to its reputation as this dry, boring and basically science trusting population, but has in parts exposed itself as the idiots of western Europe. Last Saturday i was taking photos in Vienna in Austria, where recently a new lockdown and a vaccination mandate has been decided, and which saw the probably largest protests against restrictions in the German speaking zone this year, with almost 40 000 highly emotional protesters. It shows that they still have massive mobilization capacities. One of the many absurdities was that the protesters, who see themselves as defending civil rights and democracy, and stand for love and peace, were in their main march led by members of the far right identitarian movement, now forbidden in Austria, and who carried banners that said: "Control the borders, not our people", and similar far right memes. While corona protesters call people who support the restrictions "Schlafschafe" (sleeping sheep), they themseves walked behind these neonazis and football hooligans like sheep themselves without seeing the total contradictions. Fortunately i was not attacked, this time, and only once shouted at during the protests. It seem to turn into a rather interesting winter here in this part of the world...
  2. For the brain dead person on that little island. Try to engage what little brain you do have before moving your mouth or writing comments that you know nothing about...confirmed by fellow board member... STOLEN FROM A FRIEND: I have watched the whole Rittenhouse case. The Jury is in deliberation now. I didn't know that Kyle put out a dumpster fire that was being rolled down to a gas station to blow up, with people all around. I didn't know that the Police were told to stand down as businesses were destroyed. I didn't know that Kyles Dad, Grandma and Friends all lived in Kenosha, 20 minutes from where he resided with his Mom part time in Illinois. I didn't know that Joseph Rosenbaum knocked him down twice and then attempted to kick him with lethal force to the head. I didn't know that Huber had hit him in the head 2x with a skateboard. I didn't know Gaige Grosskreutz, a felon in possession of firearm, aimed his gun at Kyle first, as he admitted on the stand. I also didn't know that in the State of Wisconsin, it is legal for Kyle to have a gun, even at 17 (which was why the gun charge was dismissed). I didn't know that Kyle did not cross state lines with a gun he wasn't supposed to have. The rightful gun owner did, as he was legally permitted to do. I also didn't realize that Rosenbaum was a 5 time convicted child rapist and that Huber was a 2 time convicted woman beater. I didn't know that Grosskreutz was a convicted Burglar with an assault on his record also. IF THE MEDIA DID THEIR JOB... we would ALL have known this! Time more men stood up and the judicial system do their jobs!
  3. Dumbocrats as usual... The second-biggest program in the Democrats' spending plan gives billions to the rich https://www.yahoo.com/news/second-biggest-program-democrats-spending-202418744.html?.tsrc=fp_deeplink
  4. Too bad Bubi can't help his native Germany...update from Nick Nostitz, your fellow and awake German,,, Germany, thanks to the most part to the relatively low vaccination rate compared to other western European countries, experiences Covid19 infection rates and hospitalizations going through the roof, which is extremely concerning. When only a few months ago people widely talked about getting the pandemic under control, i have had my doubts, and was unfortunately proven right. I believe that we will soon see increased restrictions, and some form of mandatory vaccination. Another extremely concerning problem is the refugee situation at the Polish - Belarus border. The militaristic saber rattling as seen very clearly here in this Polish News channel (with a slant of propaganda) is insane. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbJQdJXDnOQ I understand that this is a complex situation, that Belarus und behind that very likely Russia use refugees as a tool to destabilize the EU, and to further inner-EU conflicts between the increasingly authoritarian Poland (and Hungary), and the liberal Democracies. What makes this situation worse, i guess, is that politicians in especially Germany seem to be scared of a repeat of 2015, where borders remained open, and refugees were allowed inside, and the subsequent backlash by far right mobilization. We are also in Germany in the situation of an outgoing caretaker government, and a coming transition to a new government, where it is difficult to make potentially etremely controversial and/or unpopular decisions. Exaggerated by the corona crisis, and potentially volatile resistence against new restrictions, a flow of refugees could result in more social unrest, and would be a godsend for the far right (ironically with strong links to Russia). And possible numbers of hundreds of thousands if not more refugees coming to Europe, and Germany in particular, in the coming months, channeled through by Belarus, could overwhelm our system, especially our health system - which is already now overstretched by Corona. However, there are thousands of refugees in appalling conditions caught at the Polish border, not allowed back into Belarus, and the Winter begins. Already several refugees have died, and more will very likely die. Pushbacks of refugees that managed to cross the border, as already take place, are inhumane, and clearly against European law. Not allowing NGO's, observers and journalists close to the border is against anything our democracies stand for. We need a temporary solution quickly, if it would just be erecting refugee camps in which these refugees can find shelter until a more permament solution can be found. Letting refugees die of exposure in the forest is not what the EU can afford without losing its identity. A potential for armed conflict however between Belarus and Poland could be disastrous, as this could quickly turn into a Nato case, and spiral totally out of control. We do need some courageous decision making here quickly, which takes the humanitarian situation but also the Russia's attempt of destabilization into account, and which at the same time avoids militaristic saber rattling - which is not helpful.
  5. Marriage in Thailand is governed by the Civil and Commercial Code book 5, sections 1435 to 1535. A marriage (section 1457) can take place only if the man and woman (who are at least 18 years old) agree to take each other as husband and wife, and such agreement must be declared publicly before the Registrar in order to have it recorded by the Registrar. Marriage in Thailand is created and completed on formal registration and inclusion in the government's marriage register. Section 1457: Marriage under this code (civil and commercial code) shall be effected only on registration being made. Section 1458: A marriage can take place only if the man and woman agree to take each other as husband and wife, and such agreement must be declared publicly before the Registrar in order to have it recorded by the Registrar. https://www.thailandlawonline.com/article-older-archive/registration-of-a-thai-marriage
  6. Section 1457...will check in to this... Thailand accepts common law marriages if a couple register as married under Section 1457 of the Civil and Commercial Code of the laws of Thailand. My thought is that you would need to register the union in Thailand. You would also need to obtain an ITIN # for your SO to be able to include her In your tax return.
  7. True to form...Trump is no longer president...you don't understand that? The USA now has Bidumb...who has completely farked the US southern border, allowing masses of covid in to the USA...you don't understand that? Bidumb has completely farked up the evacuation of Afghanistan...you don't understand that? The price of oil/gas in the USA is at an all time high...you don't understand that? Try to keep up or stay stuck in the past...
  8. My 59 year old Thai neighbor just passed away. He fought a tough battle with covid, in the hospital on oxygen for a few months. He was not in the best physical shape but the covid got him! This covid is nothing to play around with.
  9. Just some FACTS...take your pick of idiots...
  10. So you are a remainer...waaaay past time to move on, Trump is gone... understood???
  11. Proof positive that this is truly the end of the world...
  12. It will soon be tax time for us USA people. As I am always looking for some way to reduce the taxes I must pay, now this is my latest idea... Since I have been some years with the same Thai lady, can she be considered my common law wife and hence a tax deduction for me? What I have seen doing my thing with google searches, that Thailand does not have the provision for a common law relationship/marriage. Maybe this will be the death of my idea for the additional tax deduction? I am in email conversation with my tax guy in the USA and he is also looking in to this to see if it is feasible...more as it happens...
  13. Tell the whole story... Crucially, Powell suffered from a blood cancer known as multiple myeloma — precisely the kind of “immunocompromised” condition that experts have said from the start could lead to lower vaccine efficacy. In fact, the vaccines seemed to work especially poorly in patients afflicted with that type of cancer, even after a booster shot. (Powell also suffered from Parkinson’s disease, a neurodegenerative condition.) https://www.yahoo.com/news/colin-powells-death-doesnt-challenge-efficacy-of-coronavirus-vaccines-173102331.html
  14. Going on because the USA has an idiot for a president...understood???
  15. Hey hungry for penis....everyone wants you to be happy!

    The Covid-19 thread

    Deep like it requires a concerted effort to learn and understand. You can belittle it all you want but this only displays your shallow thinking. Sorry for you...

    The Covid-19 thread

    I post accurate and meaningful information. Please read the full report and learn or don't read it, up to you... I correct myself, STUDY the report as it is deep and you just may learn something.

    The Covid-19 thread

    ...and the AZZ clowns judge the book by the cover
  19. Some reality... Biden has released over 160,000 illegals/unvaccinated people into the USA, since March 2021... Biden is paying Millions USD to NOT build additional border wall... CDC reports that 80% of the unvaccinated are non-whites... Biden shut down the drilling on Federal land, now the USA is importing energy products @ almost 300% higher prices... Biden's polices have resulted in the highest inflation in 30+Years... Biden's Covid polices have killed more in 8-Months w/vaccine. Than those that died while Trump was paying to have the vaccine developed... Let's Go Brandon.....
  20. Please consider the brain Bidumb frequently makes no sense! You saw the article and yes, it makes little sense.
