  1. My godchild's mother spent $140,000 to send him to Vanderbilt to get a degree in Philosophy. Not a whole lot of jobs out there with that degree. He's a rapper, preforming in small local clubs, but he's happy and I guess that's really what life is about, doing what you enjoy.

    His mom got a degree in English and got tired quickly of waiting tables, went back to school to get her Law degree, has made money but hates practicing law. His life is certainly more appealing.

  2. A few weeks back I was up north and it hadnt rained for over 3 months. Not one drop where I was. Then one afternoon the kamnan made an announcemnt that they would be toruing the local places with a cat and people should pour water onto it to induce a deluge from the heavens. I had to go back the next day and so am not sure what effect this actually had on the weather.

    The heck with the effect on the weather, what did the cat do after water being poured on it. :lol:

  3. I don't defend either the Thai guy bothering the OP or the French guy bothering another posters wife, but in both cases, in a crowded city, it seems they were parking in someone else's space for their own use. Wouldn't it be proper not to use what doesn't belong to you. It would be the neighborly, respectful and legal thing to do.

  4. I'm sorry, but the OP's entire premise is nonsense. Speaking from an American perspective, I know very little about European history (other than the obviously major stuff), South American history, African history, and of course, Asian history. If it doesn't really effect me on a day-to-day basis, why would I be interested? Thai's would be better off learning some history related to the region (i.e., Asia), but honestly, just because you're personally interested, it doesn't mean that it's applicable at all to anyone residing in Thailand. It's a rather arrogant presumption, actually. How much do you know about Thai history? China? Japan? I'm sure your ignorance is profound.

    A sign of the failure of the American school-system. Of which many books are written.

    Not so much a sign of failure but the achievement of progressives to install a system of education that will allow people to know only enough to be usable workers, useful idiots and nothing more. A lot of money will be spent on education, but it'll go to incompetent or uncaring or unknowing myrmidons that teach our children songs about the greatness of the present president (which has never happened before in our history) that has been in office for less than one and a half years and has squandered their financial future.

  5. or you could use a couple of phones :)

    Suddenly keeping the mobile phone in one's front trouser pocket doesn't seem like such a good idea!

    JxP

    Haven't they studied a link of brain cancers and cell phone usage? Pop corn popping between 4 phones is pretty funny but thought provoking

  6. Savage was active with the red shirts for over a year

    he was seen on video in Pattaya throwing stones at police during black Songkran 2009

    that's a lot more than making outrageous statements, that's actually breaking the law

    assault on a policemen is a serious charge anywhere in the world

    regardless of what he did and said in Bangkok 2010, he should do some time for Songkran 2009

    Who is paying him to be here. You don't stay for year and live on rice as a farang. Has plenty of money to spend on alcohol. Is he just another international seiu goon.

  7. 5 minutes, 6 years ago.

    I couldn't tell shit from salt then and still can't. :D

    Commonly, as far as the general populace is concerned, salt is white and usually in granular form. The latter is a darker color and free formed by individual.

    Hope this helps you in indentification of substances. :)

  8. its 52 years since I joined the "Mob"!If it wasnt for the photos I wouldnt remember(except my number !)

    I didn't join the mob, in front of my number is US not RA. As far as remembering that period, its hard not too as I receive medical through the VA. I think not what I did, but of my friends.

  9. Interesting that extra-judicial killings on a wide scale apparently have worked.

    Not something I could ever get behind though. Another solution that works needs to be found.

    Well trained non corrupt police would go a long way.

    An education system that actually thought some thing of value in the 21st century would help as well.

    I'd hope it'd be something other than those used in the US and Europe, as drug use is rampart and attitudes toward its usage are permissive. No reason to burden Thailand with western thought that doesn't work.

  10. The present administration in Washington backs leftists and union supported groups and thugs hence the downgrade as the Red Shirts didn't win their sit in (so to speak) The gov't that Thailand backed in 2001 isn't the same one in Washington and probably won't ever be close to that ever again, the hooks are too deeply implanted and entangled to stop their agenda.

    Look at their support of the ex-Pres of Honduras who tried to remain in office despite the courts and Military and populace rejecting him. He was backed by the buffoon in Venezuela , Castro of Cuba and the Obamination. Freedom and rule of law no longer matter only that the elite leftist must rule.

  11. Why are English swear words singled out if 11 different languages are spoken, it's discrimination I tell you, pure bias, pure racism, pure prejudice, pure religious persecution, pure antipureness :)

    Now why would they leave after their group three game. They beat Australia and Spain in recent friendlies and are the 14th ranked team. I actually picked them to win their bracket, I also picked Mexico to win their bracket but that doesn't look so good after their opening tie :D

  12. Thats what they recommended to me. This was gum transplant surgery - totally and utterly unnecessary - total of the unnessary treatment was 70,000 baht. Grace is a money cow unfortuneately. <img src="http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="mad.gif" />

    Just the opposite of my experience where the dentist at Grace after having an implant told me my bone structure and gums were just fine. I've had several cleanings and a cap replaced and no one has suggested unnecessary work was needed

    BTW gentlemen, back off Dr. Korakot, she's mine, all mine I tell you, go away, leave us be, I warn you.

    Just joking, but she is a lovely and very nice lady that even my wife likes and trusts.

    My wife's experiences with other Thai dentists has left her a firm believer and patron of Grace Dental.

  13. Boil a kettle and pour the boiling water into the bowl.

    Put on the rubber gloves.

    Put the towel into the boiling water.

    Wring the water out of the towel so that it is hot but not dripping wet.

    Lay the towel onto the affected area. When the towel begins to lose heat, repeat the process several times.

    Continue the treatment about 3 times per day.

    The heat Penetrates the affected part, expands the muscles that releases any trapped nerves and makes the area suppler.

    As I say it worked for me. Give it a go and see if it works for you.

    What about a hot water bottle?
