Yeah, I know who is again bashing Americans but you are extremely ignorant. The slave ships were mainly BRITISH including a very notable ship 'the Brooks'. The horrible conditions put on the slaves by British crews/ships caused the cessation of slaving to America and other places (Jamaica, the British Caribbean colonies, etc). Britain ceased slaving on paper in 1800. Slaving exists today.

Would you like some cheese with that whine, mate?

Too bad these clowns weren't around pre 1800. I doubt if African slaves coming to America's fair shores had visas.

They got jobs and food.

Everyone raising hell about Pres. Trump and his stance on migrants. Here, people can't believe a 'farang' (westerner) HAS a job in Thailand.

Send the military with trucks to Chiang Mai why does Pattaya get all the attention impounding them yet for 3 days wow. Hey military bring your trucks and load em up with motorbikes parked on the sidewalk bring lots of trucks its epidemic here. Again selective policing at work. Make the biggest noise where it will be heard. Ah well wishful thinking. It will dark in a few hours and the motorbikes will again rule the roads here as the plod will have called it a day. Kind of reminds me of that old Looney Tunes cartoon called Sam and Ralph.  

Point the finger at them!

Makes me wonder what happens to these guys when they arrive and lose all their senses and drives them to carry out these acts.

 

I sort of feel for these guys.

You can certainly 'feel' him. Charged with ass=ault with a dead weapon.

Card "Sharps" 

 

In the UK they're called Card "Sharks".

In the US they're called cheats and then shot.

Why ?

Sarcasm. People getting all upity condemning 'fat people' who don't know why they are fat. Some have mobility problems; can't walk or exercise. Shall we just kill them?

I was just in the area and found I couldn't get people off their phones to be able to buy food and groceries. There is something in the water.

If  you can afford to be fat you can afford to pay more for services. The extra weight is going to cost the rider more in petrol. Why should fat people get sympathy, make 'em pay.

 

Sure, and disabled people should pay 3X.

Wasn't me neither.

However, fake bucks got just the right value for what you get for anyway ...

Wait just a minute! What value can be put on your little darling saying ' I love you too mutt' (let's go shopping).

You'll get more kudos here, driving a Porsche, than in a country where the rule of law is upheld but you'll also 'draw more heat'; if this was a gangland killing though, I doubt it would matter what you were driving.

Been here 25+ years and know a lot of expats with businesses and very expensive cars with no problem. A fellow with the name starting with 'T' and into fitness comes to mind;..just a thought.

Mathew Paris captures the feelings of many.

 

"The Americans have elected a turkey as their president. He looks like a turkey, walks like a turkey, gobbles like a turkey — he is a turkey. There is nothing in Donald Trump’s record, in the appointments he has made or in his disgusting inaugural speech yesterday that prompts second thoughts. The new president is no evil genius, he’s just tiresome, rude and silly: one of those vexatious, loud and unpleasant people we do best to avoid."

Yep, not quite the mayor of London, huh mate? Where is that fellow from? I forgot. About the brexit, how is your pound doing?

At first glance I thought 'I bet he got it cut on Wednesday'. A no no in Thai superstition. They should ban sticks and rocks here. We don't have them in UK!!!

I always pull over and get out of the way for an ambulance with lights flashing, but many, many people don't.   There are a fair number of ambulances on the elevated expressway between Chonburi and BKK.   I travel that road frequently.   I assume a number of those ambulances are taking people to hospitals with more specialized care than can be found in Chonburi.    They travel quite quickly in the outer most lane, but a lot of people just don't move over for them.  

 

On the ambulance (and police and other emergency vehicles), they need to have and follow strict guidelines about the use of lights and sirens.   On more than one occasion, I have seen them traveling with the lights on and then pull over somewhere and get coffee.  

"...and then pull over somewhere and get coffee." Wow, this is an old one used for over 50 years to denigrate emergency vehicles. Often, emergency vehicles are dispatched and then cancelled. The failure to let emergency vehicles pass is inexcusable. Put video recorders in them, take the license plate number and fine them. 35 years in fire/rescue work in USA and it happens there but the cops often follow the fire equipment and if you don't pull over to let us pass you get a major fine and 'points' on your license.

**Note: using lights/sirens does not excuse you from following traffic laws with due respect for others. This is violated here.

Now, maybe these same officials will bring the park into compliance with disabled standards. Disabled persons cannot enjoy the park. This is what a disabled person will find: no handrails and dangerous steps to climb.

No, the losers from 2008 and 2012 were much sorer...and stayed really pissed for 8 years.

It is easy to forget that Obama did nothing in 8 years but improve his golf game.

Old feller was having some kinky sex.

Best idea is to take the keys and handcuff the driver to the steering wheel. Make him sit in his car for a few hours; then give the driver a nice fine.

Good news. This was one of the most hateful crimes that I have heard of and he confessed so no doubt about his guilt. The penalty is deserved.

He should be shot and then hanged in public.

The term 'Butt naked' is incorrect although his butt was indeed naked as was the rest of him. The correct term is 'buck naked'.

I will have no sympathy for these two when they are caught and really do hope they do time for this.

 

For anyone thinking this is a trivial matter, try doing this to your own national flag in your home country.......................

Obama says it is ok and the supreme court agrees. So, what country are you considering?

The cops will be called 'the boys in brown' after a day outside in their white uniforms.
