  1. Another reason to ban FarceBook. People are calling it news now.

    You can 'like' many different news organizations on facebook (including TV). It then creates a feed of sorts. I generally use ZITE or REDDIT for my news though.

    My real dislike is FARCEBOOK as I have seen several guys be at work, viewed their wives or GF FarceBook page, then went wild wanting to go home. Farcebook would be good if people used it in a correct manner. Problem is Human Manure as Trink would say.

  2. Some people wish it was. However I don't have a dog in this fight so I don't care. coffee1.gif

    Oh c'mon. You gotta appreciate the ridiculous unpresidential like statement. Better than Gore's I invented the Internet.

    I agree, very unpresidential. However, I guess a lame duck can say whatever is really on his mind. I doubt a first term Obama would have uttered such a statement...

    The statement was black presidential. We'd never had that before, so it may seem stranger to some among us than it does to others.

    If you mean Prez Obama didn't have the speech transparencies flanking him, or didn't stand straight upright, didn't act formal or speak authoritatively or forcefully, then it wasn't a presidential style of formatted speech.

    Prez Obama spoke extemporaneously, in a quiet voice, a calm tone, used two note cards which the media reports say he may have twice glanced at, didn't gesture much if at all. It wasn't a state of the union style or format of delivery.

    It was black presidential, thoughtfully addressing for the first time the point of view of the black population of the United States spoken by a black man twice elected president, who spoke at a time an open wound was festering throughout the country.

    Prez Obama is the first president who doesn't need a Booker T Washington to advise him on life in the USA as a black man or from the perspective of the African-American population of the country. Prez Obama is it and has lived it despite the fact some people try to deny him the reality of his existence as a black man.

    I'm amazed at what some people can miss about the first black president in the context of both recent events concerning the trial in Florida and the initiating event of 17 months ago in Sanford, Florida.

    We are talking about our country, are we not?

    I was doing a bit of ancestry work on Obama, just got to his mother on the tree. Can you help me here? What race was his mother?

  3. I really know too little about this item to make any comment. However, as a Farang married to a Thai wife for well over 20 years and knowing quite a few Thai ladies (married and unmarried) I do take an exception to derogatory remarks about Thai women made here, particularly by Toscano

    Totally agree, unfortunately any post regarding Thai women is immediately replied to by people I can only guess rarely set foot outside of Nana Plaza and have little idea of the real world outside. It does become depressing when you have to wade through this crap every time.

    Both good post. Thai women or as good or maybe better on average than what you find in the home country

  4. You are in luck. She still has 1 year left. Move house and leave no forward address. Change your email address and mobile phone numbers. There is a reason she is in jail and while she may not have done the full crime she came close enough to convince the judge she deserved jail time.

    Run while you still have time is the best advice anyone can give you.

  5. We're probably going to see the biggest race polarization since the Rodney King police beating case. On one side, Fox News has already issued an opinion piece that the trial should never have taken place. On the other side, the NAACP is outraged and wants the Feds to prosecute Zimmerman.

    Get the popcorn ready....

    Rodney King, oh yea thats the guy who was on parole for robbery then run from the police in a high speed chase endangering many life's then the police beat him for acting like a criminal then he sued for $3.8 million which he won then he kept on getting DWIs and things like that until he died. Sure I remember him,
