Isn't blacklist a racist word? 

Why not get some farangs to design your systems Thailand. They could teach your know-nothing coders how to set ups an interactive website that actually works. 

Probably time, the cabinet isn't exactly inspiring confidence in the nation is it?

I must say I hate this time of year, I avoid going out of the house as much as possible. 

This is good news for the world and those of us that think there are way too many people on this earth and that the current population is not sustainable.

Let that sink in.

 

 

That might have been me. And said ironically when I thought the IQ on the board was higher than it is.

Probably will turn out to be talc.

Chantal, what a lovely name. Has she gone home to the UK?

Britain hasn't had much luck with ships or submarines recently. Does this laser work when the ship is at sea or is it only for when the ships are in dry dock being repaired? 

I have invested with a policy of never investing in things I don't understand. I missed out on crypto. I read an excellent piece of advice years back when BTC was in single digits and that was to invest 5% of your savings in BTC. I didn't do it, and of course I could have made a vast amount of money.

BTC seems to be more established these days and I'm wondering what the folk on here think about investing 5% of my savings in BTC. It is money I can afford to lose. The thing that attracts me is the 'halving event' and the opening of an ETF in Hong Kong that Chinese will be able to invest in? My investment horizon is 10 to 20 years and I have earned 5.4% net over the past 25 years using buy and hold with Vanguard. 

Any thoughts? 

Yes this evil slaughter of innocent unarmed people by the self proclaimed best military in the world has to stop. I want to see the evil inhumane perpetrators of this in the IDF, along with the political leaders and IDF commanders in the dock for attempted genocide and mass starvation of innocent people. Palestinians are not subhuman. 

Insofar as all institutions are corrupt, UNRWA is likely corrupt and maybe should be replaced with something more effective. It should certainly not be shut down because of the recent scurrilous evidence-free lies by Israel about UNWRA staff taking part in the massacre on October 7th. 

I won't eat street food. I always ask myself where the folks selling them go to the toilet during the long afternoon and evening. I can't recall seeing any of them washing their hands when I go to a market and the 10 baht bathrooms are horribly dirty....so dirty I wouldn't take my dog to defecate there. 

OOPs jail for defamation for him.

Why would a Thai person read a Spanish manga book?

Please refer to data available from Wikipedia, data drawn from United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate

 

USA = 6.4 per 1000 inhabitants

Thailand = 4.8

 

More importantly, this data is not broken down by the relationship of perp to victim.  Therefore, it's just a guess, but I would like to check more detailed data to know if in Thailand, the perp and victim are somehow related or known to other, more often.  And, if in the US, the perp and victim are less likely to know each other.  

 

Still, I mentioned Taiwan and Japan, and East Asia.  In Japan, the rate is...

 

Japan = 0.2

Taiwan = ?  (Cannot be included in the UN data since the Commie Bandits of the PRC have kicked out Taiwan from the UN.)  But, almost as low as Japan, at least in the past decades.

 

So, this Data is Not Fantasy....maybe....

 

 

Thailand data are from 2009, US from 2022, and these are homicides not gun deaths.
