You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.

Rules:
• Be civil and remember the human.

What Emperor's New Clothes shit are these people getting themselves into now? Like when they tried to pretend "covfefe" was a thing rather than an old man fat fingering his phone.
Anyway, if there's a Thighland it's Hawaii. Source: Nani from Lilo and Stitch.
This is from 2020, so it isn't their latest nonsense. But it is nonsense.

What the fuck is a "frontier person"?
It’s the opposite to a power bottom.
From Blazing Saddles:
"You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons."

D'Souza is completely full of shit on this one. If you watch the video trump actually corrects himself after pronouncing "thigh land".

This is just so weird and pathetic.
D'Souza is completely full of shit
We can stop here
This one? That implies he's been correct sometime in the past. Citation please.
Dinesh has made it to the small intestine by now.
I've said it before.
Keeping up with Trump's silliness is like trying to read Game Of Thrones, listen to an audio of Lord of the Rings, and watch Endgame all at the same time. While riding a roller coaster in the rain.
Oh no, he's a genius /s The one who struggled to be briefed by the secret services.

the one that invented the language
frontier people who like to simplify pronunciations
Not only does this display a remarkable lack of awareness for how language works, but also fails to take into account the numerous varieties of British English that specifically avoid the “th” sound (“Whatchu fink, bruv?”). On the other hand, Mainstream American English does not.
It's almost as if "Thai" is not a natively English word. Thai language doesn't even have the rare th sound, as far as know of. Why are people this arrogant.
Yup. The th sound is pronounced with a hard "T," and when the r is in the middle of the word it's silent, and typically has more of an l pronunciation. It's a very non western language, and is completely independent from Latin.
A lot of my fan haves told me they want me to take them to "Thighland", so I'm pretty sure that's a real place, everyone.
These morons will lie about anything and their cult will fall for it.
...I actually did think it was pronounced Thigh
No shame. Today was the day you learned something new! We all had to learn it for the first time at some point
And your reaction is "oh I was wrong, TIL", not doubling down on it like these idiots.
You're good, don't worry lol
That there is something you keep to yourself champ.

I mean, watch "Meet the Parents" (2000) starring Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro. A trip to Thailand is discussed repeatedly where they definitely say Tai-land. It's kind of obscure, but that it came out 23 years ago means it's an unbiased source of language at the time.
Evidence probably doesn't matter to them, though.

Image Transcription:
X/Twitter post by user Dinesh D'Souza @DineshDSouza reading: I'm really enjoying the "Thighland" controversy I seem to have kicked off. Outside of America, every English speaking country, starting with the one that invented the language, pronounces it the way Trump did. "Tai-land" is for frontier people who like to simplify pronunciations Below the post is a response from user Lorna MacGillivray @Elemjay1 reading: I'm in Scotland. NOBODY in the UK, the HOME of the English language says Thigh-land. It is Tai-land. Imagine being this far up Trump's colon.

No you unrepentant inmate, it's Tia-land. I was in the Navy where we would jokingly refer to it as "Thighland" as we were looking forward to enjoying pulling in to port (giggitty). No body anywhere would take that literally. Well except for this one moron.
Dinesh has an irrefutable source, though. Alan (Zach Galifiankis) from The Hangover.
D'Loser is cancer. The piece of shit needs to go away.
All of my Indian coworkers pronounce it as Thigh as opposed to Tie. No idea why.
