Decade-old rice prompts questions about health risks
jvs replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
They need to clear the evidence before Yingluck comes back? A lot of coincidences lately,or not? Why not just make it into fuel or animal feed? The cost of keeping it stored for ten years must be more than the rice is worth? Not suitable for export but good for Thai people to eat? -
Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
jvs replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
Ok, i see you point of view and i can understand it. I still see it as a continuing struggle between East and West. putin can want to reinstate the old USSR but that will not happen. If he would make the mistake of attacking a NATO country russia would be done . 3 days special millitairy operation? putin is in over his head but he can not back down,he would be dead. Gas prices up in russia and exports are down,that has got to hurt! Countries now talking about giving confiscated russian money to the Ukraine,very good but why not sooner? Let the USA send more (old and outdated)weapons and ammo,it will not cost any money right? More and more people in the US are starting to see the danger that is called trump. Maybe just in time they will realize there will be life after trump is gone. Yes it is still a war of choice started by putin but there is so much more involved. Do you think putin would have attacked the Ukraine if he would have known the outcome? "Do not wake the russian bear"was a very much used expression. It will be a very long time before this bear will have teeth and claws again. -
Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
jvs replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
The main issue is ,this war is certainly a conflict between the russians and NATO. and is a result of world politics of course. However NATO as such can not get involved directly because of their ROE. It is the cold war all over again on steroids. Can a country,like France for instance send soldiers to help the Ukraine ? We will see. Unfortunately imo this can not be won without help from the USA and i think it is shameful they do not step up. Not because they did not promise to help but because of this being an election year. Trump will not be voted in (again) and after the elections there will be a lot of anger and resentment to deal with on both sides. -

Yes things do not really look good now at the front so the Ukrainians should roll over and give putin what he wants before putin gets annoyed? What a laugh. Granted the USA is not doing as they promised,all do to mike and the maga crowd and of course trump. Is there any good news? Of course there is,F-16s are coming soon. Bad at the front line?Lets go get them inside russia and let the drones fly! -

When it is a private shop it is a legal requirement. Their shop their rules,take it or leave it. Yes could and should have been avoided. -
Kiwi Brothers Slapped With 5 Charges For Assaulting Policeman
jvs replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
I have seen a few posts now that say ,the cop probably pulled his gun. He did not! Did you all watch the video? One of the two guys grabbed the gun from his holster,the police did not do this. Would he have done so he would have shot the two attackers.! Did the policeman draw his gun before and for some reason put it back? Not very likely,if he would have drawn his gun because he was feeling uneasy about these two guys he would have kept them at gunpoint until more officers would arrive. Soon someone will let us know what these guys have been up to at home,the internet is great for finding stuff like that. -
I have to disagree with you . A police investigation does not revolve around keeping the public well informed and up to date. There are many discussions about this incident going on but of course nearly all is in Thai language. The legal terms are well known in the Thai legal system but again ,all in Thai language.

You really do not know that?

I do not take supplements or vitamins but i have recently started to take a few natural products. In the morning,one capsule of tumeric and one capsule of ginger powder. During lunch one capsule of Cayenne pepper. I need to do some more reading about it and maybe will add a few more products like that. All organic,home grown ,dried,powdered and put in capsules.

Yes most are scams. Athletes are not normal people and have to perform at very high levels. They are usually tested for all kinds of things weekly or at least monthly. People who live a normal lifestyle and who eat a normal diet do not need supplements. I know it is a very big money maker.

Kiwi brothers deny all charges, their parents speak out - March 19
jvs replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
In this case (i watched the video) i saw no police man trying to shoot any one. What i saw was one of the guys grabbing the gun from the holster and handing it to his brother. The police man did not draw it and try to shoot the brothers. This tells me the boys attacked him and were not in fear of their lives. If so, why did only one of them attack? Why not both? Maybe by the time the one guy was handed the gun it started to dawn on him that something was not going to work out for them. There where witnesses there and they can and will tell what really happened. Just as a few incidents happened with foreigners in the last few weeks ,it does not mean all foreigners are bad. Just as you can not call all policemen bad. -

You are right,so far no video so no one knows what happened. So don't say "what really happened" You do not know. -

Just maybe you are right. How often has any Thai police officer shot a tourist at a traffic stop? I have lived here for a while now and have never heard of it. Rich guys worried over a 500 baht fine? More like arrogant and very stupid"Daddy will always be here to bail you out" And yes just maybe they did not realize they needed to stop but they were chased down and stopped that way. Maybe the police officer was worried about his safety and drew his gun?Did he? Or did the two brothers decide to try and take it from him? In any case these two guys are not very smart. -

If they would have just stopped when asked to, none of this would have happened. There was another thread a week or so ago,it was about how smart people really are? These two guys who have a high paying job and probably not really stupid in their work but how smart are they really? They also knew they did not have a license to legally operate a motorbike. No matter how you try to spin this these two guys are stupid!
