General Discussion / The Great Escape
« on: December 26, 2025, 10:05:55 AM »
This movie has given ideas to prisoners in many countries. In your Hmong community,
there was a dig and a flawless escape around 1986 or so in Ban Vinai when the
Thai prison guards fell asleep deep into the night one time.
The film was shown by a Thai mobile theater around 1979 in Ban Vinai. The Hmong prisoners
were smugglers and opium addicts who were locked up in a dirt-only cell near the exit of the camp.
In several African countries, a few prisoners have also dug under the walls and left into the deep
jungles without being recaptured. Those escapes came after this movie made its way to that continent.
This scene is the best from that Western movie. The entire movie is based on true stories of war-time pilots who
dug a tunnel to escape the Stalag Luft III prison in Germany in March 1944.

General Discussion / Trump wants 3rd term; law can be changed
« on: October 28, 2025, 07:44:43 PM »
The Constitution allows a President to
serve for four years.
But it does not say how many terms a
person can serve as President.
So, FDR ran and won four terms. If he didn't die, he would have
won again and perhaps served more than 13 years.
So, after that, the Legislature amended the Constitution to allow
only two terms. All subsequent Presidents have
served only two terms. They never ran again.
Now, there could be someone getting a third or fourth term.
Trump has a good shot at it, because right now the Republicans can amend
the Constitution again to allow more than two terms. All this while Trump is
still in office.
But will Trump still be fit mentally after this term? Also, will he win again just because
he now has confidence that he could?

General Discussion / Let's share Halloween tales.
« on: October 17, 2025, 08:55:08 AM »
Let me start with one.
My friend's mom has passed away several years ago.
One night, my friend dreamed of her mom. So, they
talked about someone they both knew.
"Mom, has he come there yet?" the friend asked.
"Yes. He's here. But he doesn't have a head. So, I didn't
want to tell you yet because I was afraid you might be afraid."
The friend saw that guy eating bananas even without his head.
A week later in real life, news came to the friend that the guy
had died from being thrown onto the ground and cracked his head.

General Discussion / Who's that guy that abandoned the church after God helped him?
« on: October 02, 2025, 03:57:31 AM »
You know those CMA churches that collect 10% of your monthly earnings for memberships?
One Hmong guy joined them and prayed to God that if God helped him win the
lottery, he would donate 10% to the churches.
Then he won 100K on the lottery and left the churches instead.
