ice is the worst of them all - you should say your goodbyes or prepare for a long and heart wrenching series of events which have a very slim chance of working out for your good.

ice actually is one of the safest of all drugs-its cause not physcial dependance, only psychological

i have friends who have been on it all their life's-living quite happily

there is such disinformation on the whole drug world, and such hypocrisy

mainly in japan, where it was tolerated , it helped them work all day, 6 days per week

my friend is 60 odd, been taking since 24, in fine health,along with his wife

he take it along with plenty of supplements

alcohol is the worst drug, so is nicotine

what is sold here, my Japanese friend tell me is not ice, it may feel and look like ice, but it most certainly is not the same, it is much worse and has a lot of shit in it-this is what cause the damage

Who knows why they did what they did, be glad your circumstances don't force you to make bad decisions.

Who cares why they did it. If my circumstances were that bad, I'd do myself in before inflicting this stuff on people. Would you be so flippant if this crap made its way to your kid's, or any other family member's, pocket I wander?

Its the other way around. The addict creates the demand and forces people to do stuff like this. How would you like it if your kid was talked into doing this to make money all because of some brain dead addict needs their fix ?

The addict forces people to... What a waste of bandwidth. Do you have any Irish in you?

it is human nature- the want created the demand.

humans will always want something- all these laws have totally failed and always will

a certain amount of people will always get addicted, like drinkers do

but at least we can stop wasting tax money, take the money away from the crooks and offer a way to those who abuse to delay the harmful effects.

The comment about the Irish is so typical of the ilk of many posters here. Unnessary, childish, provotative, cowardly

another total waste of time,money, energy

people- who probabaly suffered from poor circumstances did what most people would do to survive

even not,maybe they were just greedy and followed the good example set by the worlds biggest drugs exporters- the British

all this achieves is a total waste of money for all law abiding citizens, we pick up the bill

we pay for them to go to jail

we are making the crooks richer

the crooks love it, this pushes prices up

what a great situation

I'm confused. Why the British?

opium wars-ever heard of them?

buy our drugs or die- and many , many did, the brits, a bit like Bangkok, bombed the hel_l out of certain key location as punishment

a theory have suggested they hired a race of chine to poison the water supply of the people in those places, making them unable to defend their lands

plus they stole hong-kong( although the Chinese people arguable benefited from that)

what about this huge payout by a USA compnay?

which is worst- selling someone a drug you know does them little or no use, other than makes you rich

or what those Iranians did?

Why cann't you buy certain things here? because the doctors have lobbied the government to ban them to keep them in business.

You can and never will stop the drugs trade-its a simple as that, it is has been recognized- a human need

enough rambling

arresting those men acheives zero other than cause taxes to go up, and the crooks richer

yes, there is some similarity, not so much because people at a wedding are a mob, but because they collectively subscribe to a form of brainwashing

most Mobs will also have attended a wedding, or worship

and is marriage which is obviously such a dire failure a trait of civilized country. 50% of Americans divorce.And lets be honest, so many couple who do stay together do so because they are either being sponsored, like here

or they simply do not wish to be alone

rather like watching a mediocre film instead of nothing.

And worship , is that all good, been to the middle east recently and see what they preach, would you call that a sign of a civil society.

What happens at these peaceful assembly's that you talk of when the head monk, abbot, priest, etc makes, as they so often do, an outragously racist, provotative ,ridiculous statement.

Your apparent views of life and the world seem so jaded that I feel pity for you. To believe that middle eastern deviant behaviour is representative of the world's religions and worshippers is pretty warped. To believe that marriage is a failure of civil society is simply wrong, misguided, whatever you want to call it.

It takes conscious effort and a lot of work to focus only on the negative aspects of our little blue ball. Maybe you should find a wife and have some children. Or at least have a conversation with a monk, or shaman or holy man of choice to help you find some peace in your life.

thanks for your pity, save it, I am quite happy, and it takes no effort at all, none in fact. I am gay- and besides i do not believe in marriage either, not with its obvious " success rate"

And do you not think there are enough children in the world, been to an orphanage recently? be nice if we could feed and love those before we have any more.

I have great conversations with many shaman( a student of terrence mckenna for example), Father William of the Vatican, Edward Nattrass of the religious society of friends to name but a few

no,lots of others know about it- like i said, about the bombings, ask a brit diplomat, although you may get a " i am not aware of it"

there are so many things that are hard to find a reference too unless one really looks, hence so many books banned

and people who look sometimes are given warning to stop

who was the real grandmother or great grandmother of a certain person here?( DNA can prove), who sexy photos are all over the net?, who has HIV?, are there western prisons here?,

why did the plane from north korea land in dong mueng?

sometimes the absence of any reference is very telling, so is the taboo of certain subjects, and most certainly the banning of so many books

Any other conspiracy theories you wish to explore?

yes, the ugly American theory

could you please expand upon that?

I think I have seen some very attractive Americans. Maybe I was wrong. Why are they ugly? By and large, they do a lot more good in the world than bad, and try much more, than most other places. They do not always get it right, and have, done, like everywhere else, a few big no no's, who does not?, but the world is a safer place because of them, and to lesser degree the brit's.

Many in fact and some have no longer become theory's to me because I,and other's have explored them.

Do you have any I may be able to help you with?

I remember my mother being heavily criticized in the UK because of her involvement in a case of falsely convicted Irish subjects. A father and son who were sentenced to life and treated in the most appalling condition's.

This was made into a film.I think the title was " the name of the father".

She was told to mind her own business and stop believing in conspiracy theory's too. She refused to. Brave people like her sensed something was wrong and kept digging.

Finally justice prevailed.She was also banned from sweden for involvement in the movement against euthanasia for the mentally handicapped. They denied this for many and still practiced it until recently.It was long ago, and I hope it was Sweden , because if not I am sure going to pick up a lot of flack.One of those cold, gray places anyway.

Many , even I, get it wrong sometimes, but also sometimes not.One thing is to keep looking especially when the thing you are looking for seems to be a taboo subject that upsets people.Thats a good sign that one is getting close to the truth.

All of the above are no longer theory's- but i will no doubt be banned if i put up details on some things.

Joe, you're actually right about something. There are conspiracies out there. But you seem to dwell on government secrets (of which there are many) combined with the it's only special people like me who know these things attitude.

There are some real historical secrets in Thailand. So what? Many are so old that they make no real difference today, other than a curiosity factor. Yes, there are some banned books here and yes there are some banned websites here. But while those items may be banned within the borders of the country, they're still out there and available in the rest of the world.

yes, i am special, i was considered that way and had to attend a special needs class. Dyslexic, ADS, etc, truth is i was a confused young gay who rejected the BS I was being told mostly at school and what i read. Lucky for me my parents encouraged me to dig deeper.

I am not special in any other sense, anyone can access what I have read. Sometimes its really hard though.Its up to them to choose to believe it. Modestly I do have friends in quite high places , and who do an awful lot of reseach , etc, that's about it really.

The same psychology applys to falling in love- we do not fall in love with that person, but rather our own ego's projected upon that person.In other words- we are loving ourselves.

Yeah, you have it right and billions of loving couples all over the world have it all wrong. And what does all this have to do with so-called "mob mentality?"

part of the mob mentality here is due to the blind following of certain things

mobs are unable to think independently- the thai education and the faith they follow supports this

when in fact they are not worshiping anything other than themselves and supporting those to benefit from this- its it mainly their ego

So lemme get this straight. You are equating a large group of people gathering to worship at a wat to be the same as a group of thugs ganging up on an innocent bystander. Is that right?

Sorry, I don't classify groups of people in peaceful assembly as being in a mob or participating in mob behaviour. Marriage and worship are two traits of a civil society. Thuggish gang beatings are not. To equate them is ridiculous. And forgive me for saying so, but methinks you are in dire need of a life adjustment.

do not worry- i do forgive you,please understand my lack of English skill sometimes

yes, there is some similarity, not so much because people at a wedding are a mob, but because they collectively subscribe to a form of brainwashing

most Mobs will also have attended a wedding, or worship

and is marriage which is obviously such a dire failure a trait of civilized country. 50% of Americans divorce.And lets be honest, so many couple who do stay together do so because they are either being sponsored, like here

What happens at these peaceful assembly's that you talk of when the head monk, abbot, priest, etc makes, as they so often do, an outragously racist, provotative ,ridiculous statement.

It so often these very people who lead the masses into trouble. Like the mullahs who encourage young boys to blow themselves up.

Not all who gather in "peaceful" assembly hasve any intention of doing anything bad of course, most are just simply satisfying their own ego and choosing to delegate all their own autonomy to the worlds leading hype.Religion. They mean well and are only suffering from that human condition of not wanting to take responsibility over their life's, finding meaning, looking for hope( the vast majority of people lead incredibly dull life's, these are the ones who are most likely to search for " god", meaning etc.

To be honest, if i had to wake up each day, go to work at a certain time,stay in the same job year after year i might look for " god" too.Or get pissed everynight!

no,lots of others know about it- like i said, about the bombings, ask a brit diplomat, although you may get a " i am not aware of it"

there are so many things that are hard to find a reference too unless one really looks, hence so many books banned

Insulting an entire religion is pretty low.

inventing false Gods,re-writing history, false doctrines to control the masses, killing so many under the name of whatever is far lower

me chlidish- so those who beleive all the nonsense are mature!!!

so what did they your parents believe in seeing as were christian?

did they invent a new one?

you cannot be a christian and choose not to believe in some things- yuo either are or you are not, if so, why bother

so, choose not to be and do not read my posts, but you will........free choice, an illusion

and why be rude? Please, lets keep things civil

religion has caused "hel_l" and you choose to be in it

pls search for yourself, or looked for many of those banned books, or ask a brit dipolomat about the brits bombing bkok

thank you

Joe, it doesn't matter if you think someone's religion is farcical or not. If you had any sense of courtesy you'd let them have their beliefs in peace, unless they're trying to convert you.

Actually, you can be a Christian and not believe in a literal transition of the Bible. It's called freedom of thought.

Okay, so what you're saying is you can't back up the bombing thing? It's just something that just Joe knows?

How about somebody else about the bombing of Bangkok after the war. I'm open minded if there's some info on it. I just can't find it, and I have searched.

one man posted on it, ask any diplomat from UK embassy, did you see the link?

one can read all about it one of those many banned books- ask yourself why so many banned books?

i have courtesy, but just cannot help but laugh when i hear the nonsense that comes out from some people's mouths " I have a special relationship with God"

how egotistical, how naive, how truly pathetic- programed robots comes to mind!

Sorry, such nonsense i just cannot bear, like when people make racist statements, or the hang 'em high bunch

iu think i have a duty to wake up these people and challenge them into thinking for themselves, not something which has never been able to show a single one piece of supporting evidence

and thus exercise more control over their lives

heres a fact i love- sick people who go to louds in France asking that so called virgin for help die sooner than those who don't! A bit off topic i suppose

how can a christian have freedom of thought? okay then, I am christian now, I think God sucks, I worship satan and want to bXXX young boys- ahem!

Am i still a christian, you said i can have fee thought, right?

...

buttt kicking was not my choice of word, i was referring to the way the brits took phucket, told the king to behave- and they did, no choice, defined the boarders of thailand

i agree about brits causing misery by defining boarders

book banning= thats why you cannot read any of what i say. Some people do not want people like you to know certain things- like who one person is really descended from,etc, etc

also, i made mistake if i said UK can command USA, its probabaly other way around,i think you misread me, i said" along with the yanks" but they work very closely and basically control the world

the recent clashes;

1- was that stupid temple thing

2- another well kept secret is how a top Thai general decided to take on some neighboring country on the thai boarder and really got his butt kicked-

hope i cleared up a few of my ramblings

Now Joe, all that stuff was kept a total secret from everybody except Joe? Although I know it happens, I have yet to have the Thai internet "police" block anything I've tried to read except once in a whole year. If Bangkok was bombed after the war in the Pacific was over, there must be a reference to it.

That "stupid temple thing"????? You talking about Preah Vihar?

no,lots of others know about it- like i said, about the bombings, ask a brit diplomat, although you may get a " i am not aware of it"

there are so many things that are hard to find a reference too unless one really looks, hence so many books banned

and people who look sometimes are given warning to stop

who was the real grandmother or great grandmother of a certain person here?( DNA can prove), who sexy photos are all over the net?, who has HIV?, are there western prisons here?,

why did the plane from north korea land in dong mueng?

all this achieves is a total waste of money for all law abiding citizens, we pick up the bill

we pay for them to go to jail

we are making the crooks richer

the crooks love it, this pushes prices up

what a great situation

Even though it's 'off topic', the British did bomb Bangkok. In the past, I have read a great piece about this on the internet but I forget where. The below link is all I can find;

http://www.tour-bangkok-legacies.com/museu...nonthaburi.html

I do not believe that this has much to do with the perceived Thai 'mob' mentality.

it is not- i just had to educate someone who chooses not to know history to illustrate who really is in power- i have not read the link, but the brits did so with full american support- and they objected to targeting one certain place which is obvious, but i will not mention

can you also send any link of the letter sent to the Thai King by the British warning them to behave or loose his country- its all in the achieves ( i asked one British diplomat and he said it was something best forgotten)

or a list of all the banned books-

or how the one certain institution requested protection from the west-

i am showing the reasons why "mob" mentality , a country dictated to, mind controlled, not much to be proud off (unless one considers the obvious), bad education

see my point

i know it sounds awful- but understanding this is the way to progress-truth is that way

put aside ones ego

understanding where one really is, and why

Are you aware of how much US and UK debt SE Asian countries like Thailand and China own ? China could wipe out every pension fund in the UK over night if it wanted to. They could also send interest rates in the US to the moon if they wanted to. Times have changed, the west has no money.

and with the press of one button the USA/UK could wipe out the world- if pushed, they will

please never think that the west will ever allow it to be controlled by the east

The same psychology applys to falling in love- we do not fall in love with that person, but rather our own ego's projected upon that person.In other words- we are loving ourselves.

Yeah, you have it right and billions of loving couples all over the world have it all wrong. And what does all this have to do with so-called "mob mentality?"

loving couples? read " the psychology of romantic love"

most loving couples are together because they do not want to be alone rather than they choose to be with that person and are used to that person as it best suits their own ego

and, just how many loving couples are there? not many i can.... can you? 50% divorce rate in USA 1/3 in UK

seems to me marriage is a bit of a false institution

a bit like religion

please do not tell me thai ladys love their husbands en masse, sure some do- we all know the true reason behind this sort of love

romance soon die's as we in the west describe it

not for all of course

well , if you are a Buddhist you are no longer religious.. congraulations

and if you beleieve that the world was created in 7 days, that snakes talk, adam and eve, heavan and hel_l...well.....all i can say is they should check their own mental health

Joe, your view of religion is so childish. Very few religious people believe literally the story of the Bible. Growing up in a Christian nation, I knew many Christians including all of my family. None of them believed snakes could talk or that the world was created in 7 literal days.

I know there's a hel_l...when I read your posts I'm in it.

As for the concept of Adam and Eve (in terms of there being a first man and woman), there is some scientific support for that.

By the way, where are the references for the post-WWII bombing of Thailand by GB? I anxious to learn about that.

me chlidish- so those who beleive all the nonsense are mature!!!

so what did they your parents believe in seeing as were christian?

did they invent a new one?

you cannot be a christian and choose not to believe in some things- yuo either are or you are not, if so, why bother

so, choose not to be and do not read my posts, but you will........free choice, an illusion

and why be rude? Please, lets keep things civil

religion has caused "hel_l" and you choose to be in it

pls search for yourself, or looked for many of those banned books, or ask a brit dipolomat about the brits bombing bkok

thank you

WRONG!!

oh yes did- sorry , but the brits did it as punishment AFTER the Japanese had surrendered and then subjected Thailand to many other forms of punishment

they still are in indirect ways

and they can order the Thai military, along with the yanks what to do and when-in certain circumstances

that takes a lot of power

oh, and do you know how badly the Thai's fared against that recent stupid clash, trashed......i was told some things that would make you laugh

and how about the boarder war and the "taking of phucket".The defining of thai boarders-mmm, something smells of butt kicking

"No Mr King, you claim this is yours, well, we are bigger than you and will level you and we will have this,no more tributes, we own burma and malaya, sorry" to me, thats a huge butt kick- and also has caused a much trouble in the south today

a not so nice legacy left by the brits.

The brits, who were not all bad, looked down upon everyone in this region

Is that not Butt kicking? how the letter sent to the king- basicly, stop asking for the sultans tribute, you will get nothing and may loose your country- he was wise- he did not argue it

All this may be crap, but if you look, and speak too impartial people and wonder why so many books have been banned you have to ask yourself....

Sorry that this is difficult to prove, people do not like knowing something

ask any brit diplomat- you may get a " i do not know" " or we do not like to talk about it"

I think i am going off topic.

The more you ramble, the more I begin to see how you communicate, and for me that is part of the confusion.

I will be happy to concede if the British bombed unoccupied Thailand after the conclusion of WWII. I tried to find some evidence of that on the net, but could not, nor could I in (for example) Wyatt's history of Thailand. Could you provide an internet resource?

The "kicking butt" description is what I didn't understand. I was well aware that the European powers led by Britain were desirous of being far more harsh with Thailand than was America. I guess I don't see that as "kicking butt", but rather as something that happens after a war. War reparations, for example. To me, the war is the "kicking butt" part. The terms of treaties and so forth is more along the lines of justice, although it certainly has a basis in revenge.

Of course, then you immediately ramble and say, "how badly the Thai's fared against that recent stupid clash". The Thais had a recent military clash with Britain? That what we were talking about. Or are you suddenly talking about part of the current unrest? And if so, what has that got to do with what Britain did to Thailand after WWII?

You then seem to be returning to the post-WWII era and the border dispute with Malaya (Malaysia). In my view, that was a legitimate dispute. Having 3 predominantly Muslim provinces in far southern Thailand still brings into question how the border was legitimized. And has been often true, the assigning of borders after "great" wars has often been the source of later misery...and Britain was very talented at creating those ultimate failures.

Of course, right in the middle of discussing the border with Malaysia, you suddenly shift to book banning.

I'm telling you, it's hard to follow your logic.

I also have no idea what you think Britain can currently command America to do.

Bottom line for me -- I guess -- is you defining everything from world war to peace treaties to diplomacy with sword rattling as "butt kicking". It implies that everything between nations is totally win versus totally lose. What a simple world you live in.

sorry english not my first

buttt kicking was not my choice of word, i was referring to the way the brits took phucket, told the king to behave- and they did, no choice, defined the boarders of thailand

i agree about brits causing misery by defining boarders

all religions are simply the way to control the masses- they alow the ruling elite to rule, and to control the masses, the masses buy this because it appeals to their ego

I find it completely amazing that anyone can believe in such stuff.

The same psychology applys to falling in love- we do not fall in love with that person, but rather our own ego's projected upon that person.In other words- we are loving ourselves.

Religion is similar-its self worship, mind control and the one of the main reason why we have not progressed much

Are you saying that the Egyptians created Christianity to control Moses and his folks?

When I decide to go from Methodist, to Catholic, and then Buddhist, I didn't have to check with anyone or get it approved.

What about all the people who don't believe in god or a religion?

Superficial Joe. Really. Very cliched.

well , if you are a Buddhist you are no longer religious.. congraulations

and if you beleieve that the world was created in 7 days, that snakes talk, adam and eve, heavan and hel_l...well.....all i can say is they should check their own mental health

mobs are unable to think independently- the thai education and the faith they follow supports this

when in fact they are not worshiping anything other than themselves and supporting those to benefit from this- its it mainly their ego

karma= all total nonsense

another tool to control the masses

so many awful people lead lives of great luxery and do not seem to be bothered by any " karma"

why is this?

or are they going to this place that some like to think exists that will oneday punish them.

My Goodness- how we love to be deluded

I have met a few thai teachers,from the small private school that my stepson attends,and to be honest,they scare me to death.Only met 3 farang teachers and they scared me more.

You should be scared of farang teachers. At one school I worked in the head English teacher interviewed a guy for a job, he told the head teacher during the interview that he just got back from Laos and had 30 women in 30 days. The Thai administration hired him. Just the sort you want around your kids.

one of the minister's of education was once accused a rape and many mia anoi's.Like most in power here.

I'd prefer the farang- at least he was honest.

I do believe you're correct on many points although, in my understandings, in Buddha's teachings, there was no good or bad, right or wrong. A 'conscience' man (or woman) would not eat animals.

His teachings, as well as those of other Enlightened Beings did not include or preach 'sin' as there was no sin.....something fabricated by the priests, rabbis and religious leaders. ....Higher conscience/awareness was the core (and apple) of their teachings....as I understand.

There is sin in Buddhism that roughly translates out how to how much you disrupt the natural order of things. Murder, stealing, etc.. is all disruptive and considered bad karma. The difference is Buddhism places more responsibility on a person's actions on their own spiritual development. In Christianity there's this belief in a magical sky wizard who will throw you into a pit of fire if you misbehave. In this sense Buddhism is a much more mature religion that requires self discipline which is why there are very few true adherents.

You are right, "in Buddhism there is sin" but if you can see that all the "ism's" of the world have fabricated their own "sins" to best suit the religion they're supporting. There was no Buddhism when Buddha was alive nor was there Christianity when Christ was alive and so on and so on....and as a small note: All religions are immature.

note to Mods: (not Mobs) you can move all that's related to Buddha & Buddhism to the appropriate catagory although many a religious MOB throughout time.....

all religions are simply the way to control the masses- they alow the ruling elite to rule, and to control the masses, the masses buy this because it appeals to their ego

ask any brit diplomat- you may get a " i do not know" " or we do not like to talk about it"

I think i am going off topic.

its so easy- so much to be, so much fun to be had

you can even buy a nice looking phone which can allow to listen and track all your girlfriends calls, lost cars, baggage, etc

if you are concerned about loosing baggage, buy any real looking fake gun

the airlines have to put a special mark on it , which stops theifs,or at least makes them think twice

thai's are not a race- but a culture- yuo first mistake

the brits bombed bkok as punishment

the kings, well, i do not want to get banned

to me colonialism is the same as dictator

i loved ghandi, but look how he died, and did he progress his country? How many died straight after- oh, thats great thinkingt ahead that is...

i never go to soi cowboy,

i do a lot of other work, in jails, hospidals, i have worked with anti slavery,child abduction

i agree about it being a choose, i remember a man approaching me in the north asking me if i'd like his daughter for the night

making drugs legal would save so much money,plus, and heres the best part make the mobs poor

what the brits did was not good-is what we have here " good"?

my thai chinese girlfriend says girls from issan are primates-she is not thai, but chinese!

in indian when they gave a low cast lady on Indian airline a promotion- the whole airline went on strike

5 ladys are burnt alive each day for not paying dowry's

the brits would not allow such nonsense

why so many banned books?

and i said, the brits have already bombed Bangkok, another mistake on your part, do you know your history? another little secret, sorry , english is not my first

that was their butts kicked and the king army being trashed by the gurka and the brits sending a message- do not ask for anymore tribute from the sultan- we own them

any more questions, i hope you understand what i mean by butts being kicked

they also nicked phucket, but, for some reason gave it back!

some of the thai ruling elite are very smart, they care only about themselves

well, no need to apologies, my english not so good either

I can find no place where I said Thais are a "race". Perhaps in your ramblings you're confusing me with other posters.

Please tell me exactly when the Brits bombed Bangkok in order to kick the butts of the Thais. Are you talking about the bombing raids of WWII where the Brits were attacking strategic locations that were in the hands of the Japanese who were occupying Thailand?

Did Gandhi advance his country?????????????????? He's the father of a free India.

You're just a pro-drug person who grasps at straws to make it look like a noble idea.

In fact, with that...I'm though bothering to talk to you.

But you can keep the award!

you have been shown the evidence- you do not like it do you? i am sorry if i thought it was you who said thai werea race, but lets keep civil

although you do not like to be corrected have an open mind please

yes, ghandi freed india, where the wheel of progress has gone in reverse,

which then went to war with pakastan ,killing so many, much to be proud of- and by the way, is indian free? Who controls it?

I will keep the award. Awards from you are like compliments.

I am not pro drugs( do you drink, smoke, take any form of medication?- if so, you are pro drugs too), just anti making criminals and enlightening people like you, i am anti rich and wasting money on policy's that can and have never worked

i do not need to grasp at anything-expet that award

many thanks

Thais do not have a 'mob mentality'. What they do have is fear...fear of the unknown. Where does this fear come from?

From birth, Thai people are 'taught' many things. One of these things is 'how to think'. Conversely, this also equates with 'how not to think'.

If one wishes to understand the words of both Thai anthems, a clue about such a fear will become obvious. These things are drummed into the brains of Thai citizens from 'day one'. The thing called 'Thainess' is very strong. Without 'Thainess', there is no 'unity'.

So now, the whole deal comes down to a few words...'unity, morality & Thainess'. These three words effectively isolate Thai people from the rest of the world.

The tragedy of Thailand is that so many people are far too conditioned to take responsibility for their own actions. Everything &/or anything they do can be blamed upon anything that is not Thai.

Fear of the 'unknown' as well as fear of any kind of 'change' is a big factor in Thai mentality. Don't blame the 'everyday' Thais, blame the 'elite' who dogedly maintain such a repressive culture.

so so true

i do blame the elite- i was born into wealth,I was lucky, at school i was told i was different and better simply because of money-

for a while i choose to believe this,it was great to honestly think i was better,to have a car pick me up and take me to school, to look at the poor boys and make fun

as many of the elite do here that they are better than others

but this is WRONG, we all know it

then and saw the pure double standard's. I did become a Quaker-or rather aspire to be one and the socialist. A true one- again, i hope.

its always the ruling classes that send their young beautiful boys out to die to keep them well feed

which American president dodged service, who in power is at the front of the trouble they cause- and why do they cause it- for the good of their people, or their good

as karl marx once said ' a bayonet is the only weapon with a worker on each end"

who exercise mind control to keep the masses in their place

here it is the order of the day- the people here deserve much better than what they are getting

actually, as one great priest said " we are all one,we just do not know it"

I use the terms thai and brits, as word labels, would't it be nice if we could see that we're all brothers and sisters
