It's great to see so much political squabbling here. I can't find it anywhere else.

You sound like the typical nitwit who thinks they know everything and everyone else is dumber than you. In other words, a liberal Democrat! I am sorry to disillusion you, but the world does not run by your perception of how things are.

Not to take a political side here, but speaking from all easily observable historical and current evidence, data and results, liberal Democrats can certainly accurately claim to be smarter than conservative Republicans when it comes to expanding and recovering a national economy rather than plunging it into the worst Great Depressions, Great Recessions, massive market crashes and job losses of the past 100 years or so.

So there is that.

NO. Your ordinary criminal don't watch the news. People were buying guns and ammo prior to the crime rate going down. Fear sells. People were influence to buy by the pyschological tricks and tactics by companies and marketers / advertisers. Today's technological information uses your personal computer, social media app, and cell phone information to formulate through an algorithm what you might buy and what might influence your behavior. They are using it in sports now but they use the term sports analytics to predict the plays a team might run in certain situations and its success rate.

Your statement that "ordinary criminals don't watch the news" is totally wrong. They watch the news constantly to find out where and when to commit their next criminal act or enterprise. They learn to steal N95 masks to sell on the black market. They run scams on people waiting for their $1,200 check from the government. Criminals are very smart. That is why there is "organized crime". The Mafia and Triads are not run by total idiots. It takes brains (and violence) to run criminal organizations.

Buying out of fear is a problem if the fear is irrational. Buying 3 months worth of toilet paper out of a fear of not being to wipe your ass is probably acting on an irrational fear hahaha! Oh and me? I wear those pesky condoms mostly because I don't want to have to pay for any "little Canes" LOLOLOL!

That's the word I was looking for and wanted to use. Irrational behavior and that is what is going on in this world. Thank you.

Seems as if you are against things being sold. So car companies have sold all of these cars over the years because people had a fear of walking. MFs sold a shitload of toilet paper because people had a fear of not being able to wipe their asses. MFs buy and use condoms out of fear of catching a disease. People buy medical insurance out of fear of not being able to pay for medical care if they fall sick. Not seeing what is wrong with buying things out of fear.

What?! Exactly. FIRST, many people bought weapons. SECOND, criminals stopped acting an ass due to more people being able to protect themselves now. Who cares why the shit was sold. The good is that there is less crime now that the shit has been sold. Seems as if you are against things being sold.

Who said anything is wrong with it? You are agreeing with me. Violent crimes are have decreased because of the curfews that have been taken place. It has nothing to do with the amount of guns that have recently been purchased. Criminals are not sitting at home watching news on TV. A movie, listening to the radio or ipod, or some type of mindless TV entertainment, I would agree with you. LOL Trolling? For who? Poor excuse.

Your ordinary criminal don't watch the news.

Who the heck told you that? I used to be an ordinary criminal and hung with a lot of other ones. EVERYBODY watches the news. People watch the news if they do not watch anything else. Now I think you are just trolling.

If the crime went down like you said it did, then it was for the best, no? I miss all 25 of my babies when I am not in the States.

Fear sells. Paranoia and marketing. tiolet paper companies made a good profit also.

Exactly. Because everybody and their hamster went to buy weapons and are now loaded to the teeth.

There is no spike in crime. Matter of fact violent crime is down during this epidemic.

As the majority of the people in the United States are discovering that there is little to protect them from anyone who wants to do them harm, because the police are not going to be around to act as your personal bodyguards as they believed, the Second Amendment is getting a healthy respect from many people as there is a run on firearms and ammunition throughout the nation. Everywhere, even ultra liberal states like California, Oregon, Washington, and Hawaii, the US is finding that gun stores are recording record sales and, in most cases, have run out of inventory.

As the citizens of the US are finding shortages of basic necessities, they have come to realize there is really no meaning behind laws as those lawless persons exploit what ever advantage the can obtain by hook or by crook. So now they have realized that the founding fathers of this nation were very wise in providing the citizens rights like free speech and the right to bear arms.

What's your hidden agenda? There is no shortage of basic house hold products or food. There is no spike in crime. Matter of fact violent crime is down during this epidemic.

If the bars stay closed for a long time, say a year or more, would thai officials use it as a way to end rampant prostitution in thailand? I've read for ages that thai wants to change its image to more family friendly.

I know no one knows the future but many here read thai politics better then I do and might be able to give an informed guess.

Overnight 4 or 5000 ladies from Northern Thailand, Issan, went home to their villages. They are waiting for this to end so that they can return to how they make their living. There will be no change. Everything will return to normal. They have kids and parents that they must care for. School they must pay for. Their husbands ran away and are totally irresponsible as parents. The Thai women take the responsibility. The government has no way to help them.

Thailand is family friendly. I live in Phuket and we are loaded with families on holiday. They do not focus on the meat market but the adventures they can buy that they can never get at home. Well that is if they stay away from Soi Bangla. 555.

Just goes to show the US is filled with savages. The rest of the world is civilised and people can behave responsibly with each other.

Personally, the free market will kick in, I'm pretty optimistic it will turn out better than before like they say " there is no gain without some pain ".
