The corporate virus has been spreading for quite a few decades now, and the tipping point has arrived in Thailand. More malls are sprouting along Sukhumvit Road and elsewhere. Some call it progress & development, but is it really? Escalators & air-conditioning are nice, so are better toilet facilities. Other than that, who needs all the junk in the stores. Dehumanization & popular culture are its main features. And then there is the illusion that life is better just because you are on Facebook and have a Coach bag.

Now its banks and real estate developers. And of course bent politicians. They never go out of style.

What a joke! Great abestos salesman.
Anwar Ibrahim, Malaysian opposition party leader, convicted on sodomy charges had his appeal denied by the Supreme Court and sentenced to 5 years prison. Already 67 years old, it kind of put him onto pasture. And the list goes on with ruling governments running over opposition parties & leaders.
But top of the list is the thug, Vladimir Putin. Within some AP circles, he is admired for his strongman antics as he is portray as wagging Obama's tail. Nothing could be further from the truth. Some Russians are having to eat borscht now with no cabbage. And Pattaya's economy is suffering heart palpitations from the absence of Russians overnight, rudely interrupted by Obama's sleight of hand.
Yes, the trash talks continues about Obama's foreign policy. Muslims killing Christians! Read some real history, man. That Foxy propaganda, sensationalized for ratings, nothing else.

Humanity given enough time will ultimately destroy their environment & themselves. Why so? Because of the inability to understand the "Greater Good" concept. So now Mt Everest is a cesspool. But who cares.

2015, The Year of the American Traveler.
If you are not collecting welfare, then you are in luck with seeing the world, particularly Europe. Never has the Euro been this low since it was introduced in 1999. Whilst it is still not quite the Vietnamese Dong yet, you should take advantage of this crisis to see Europe. Avoid the trendy cities like Rome or Paris and expensive countries like Switzerland and Scandinavia, and you will have the time of your life. Go to Latvia, Estonia or Serbia and Albania. Or even Turkey for getting the most value out of your dollar.
But why should I go to these countries, I might as well as go to Detroit!! Because it will open your eyes, and improve your perspective. And because it is 2015, not 1927. You got that?
Never have I seen international airfares with so much value. And the European budget airlines have fares that seem cheaper than buses. Americans travel extensively, but going to places like Cabo San Lucas and the Bahamas, and you end up more stupid than before you went. And pretending to be high rollers playing golf in Hawaii and and the Caribbean only put Americans into more credit indebtedness.
Anyway, just enjoy, you will never have it so good for the rest of your life.

Or the Bible Belt as it is also known. Now I am not going to claim I know anything about the South. Other than a couple of visits fo Texas, Louisiana and Florida.
Much more slow drawn, friendlier, poorer. Bar-be-Q, NASCAR, Confederate flags. Stereotyping here.
You would think family would be supremely important?

Rev, I'm going to start calling you out on this racist hate-speech every time I see it.
Enough is enough.

Personally I'd wait until Greece leaves or is kicked out of the Euro monetary union. The new drachma is likely going to be much cheaper than the Euro, if it is still standing. And Greece has got better weather, beaches, historical monuments and food!

The next thing we know he will be trying to convince us (again) with a straight face that Obama was born in Kenya and that his ultimate goal is to turn the USA into a Muslim Caliphate!

And please point out the "hate" part.

"Global debt cycles and credit booms have very long timelines. During this time, financial institutions forget the risk management lessons of the past and go for broke, hoping that by extending enough credit will lead to enough economic growth to repay the debts.".
Recently, I have been receiving a wave of new bank and credit offers for new accounts by all the major banks. Very tempting. Somebody I know who has a failing business got a call from a bank representative offering him exactly that just because he happen to have 2 or 3 accounts with said bank in different countries, it seem that the low bank balance in each account was not taken into account. He is now on a spending spree.

Of course, like any polished racist, you are a very subtle and would never use any racist buzz words.
Nevertheless, from your writings it is obvious that you are a racist and anti-American, and I'm calling you out on it at every turn.
Thanks,
Jax.

The title of his post poses an open question "[I]Who do you think leads the world in debt?[/I]" deliberately implying that the answer is of course the Americans, when in fact the linked article does not even address the question he posed.
Enough with the anti-American racism!
Thanks,
