My money also says this is a bloke. Very proficient on the keyboard though, considering he is probably typing with one hand!

But seven more posts for JT, getting him closer to the magic 30,000 mark!It is one of these new fangled Conversation Bars.
Only topics are Baht Bus Prices, restaurant quality, how to start polls and how to stop people looking in the windows. Sounds like your kinda place JT
Sorry Mate, slow Saturday

Sadly you are quite right. What the editors and journalists of these newspapers clearly do not understand is that there is a big difference between what is in the public interest, and what interests the public.As usual Murdoch is putting as much distance as possible from those who have had their collars felt. But the sub gutter mentality of the news international press is and always was driven by Murdoch
Really? Seems to me that they are reacting to market forces. Those that encourage, nay demand, gutter reporting appear to be the readership. If we didn't buy newspapers with 'exclusive stories' about who is shagging who then the underhand means of reporting to uncover such juicy stories, and others (most of which have little bearing on global or national news in the grand scheme of things) would not take place as nobody would want to buy newspapers with those stories in.

You really are wasting your time here Smedly, so many idiots shouting their mouths off, dont have a clue what they are talking about, been here for five minutes, think they know everything there is to know about the way things work here in Pattaya after a few weeks sitting on a bar stool. I too know exactly what happened regarding this incident, your account of what happened is pretty much 100 accurate. Dont waste your time arguing with these idiots mate, thats my advice for what its worth. Sadly it appears the two morons have managed to pay their way out of it and live to fight another day. Which undoubtably they will, unfortunately. Hopefully one day they will bite off more than they can chew, cant come soon enough.yeh and you and your family - wife and kids are going to be there (from your photo) and what this has got to do with the stabbing of of two thai nationals I do not know, I must admit I was keenly watching a news story yesterday of a body found floating in the sea 8 miles off the coast of pattaya, prob some fishing dispute but anything is possible here in LOS
much as I and everyone else hates to see this daily criminal activity going on on the beach and as do all thai friends I know unfortunately money speaks even louder than buddah .... shame really

What do you mean by equivalence, a favourite refrain of yours. Somehow it is ok for NATO to kill children on a regular basis, but that is ok because it is an accident? Do you think the parents of these children will accept your spurious argument because Nato are the good guys? These are innocent children, blown to smithereens by trigger happy top guns. Do you have children? Maybe you think because it is not brown skinned Arabs doing the killing it is ok. Winning the hearts and minds eh, no wonder the West is held in such disdain by the rest of the world.
President Karzai is only President of Afghanistan courtesy of the USA, he will mouth his platitudes about this tragedy, but he wont rock the boat too much for fear of alienating his sponsers. On a related note, this comes at a very inopportune time for the West considering some of the lurid, sometimes hysterical coverage of events in Syria. It is very difficult to maintain the moral high ground after this sort of occurance, which seems to be happening on an increasingly regular basis.i like the the line "President Karzai contacted the provincial governor and inquired more on the incident and telephoned the mourning families and expressed his deepest sympathies and condolences," his office said in a statement.
i wonder how many of these poor sods have a telephone, but i guess they died for a good reason?
Yes it is indeed difficult to maintain the moral high ground if you accidentally kill 8 civilians as oppose to 7000 killed deliberately targeted by tanks and planes, but then again such equivalence could itself be construed as hysterical.

Nowhere in my post was i defending Assad. Why not try addressing some of the points i raised instead of trying to smear anyone who doesn't go along with your blinkered view of things. Do you really believe that this is just a spontaneous peaceful uprising with no involvement from outside forces? Despite the fact that up to 2,000 Syrian military personnel have been killed, gas pipelines blown up etc. What sort of peaceful protesters have the kind of military hardware these rebels have. Of course Assad is a brutal dictator, but it was only a short time ago that the US was rendering prisoners there to be tortured by his regime. Bahrain, Saudi Arabia etc are of course shining beacons of democracy, but they are our brutal regimes, who are financing and supporting the opposition in Syria. So that makes it ok? Pure hypocrisyMaking up a bunch of ridiculous justifications and excuses to defend the Assad government is inconceivable to me. They are slaughtering their own people in droves.
-
It was not immediately known who was behind the attack as the government blamed terrorists while opposition groups accused the government of staging the attacks for propaganda purposes.
Genuine peace and democracy loving opposition forces against the dictator should be able to realise and to admit that there are also some third party forces around who are definitely up to no good.
Quite. The so called peaceful rebels have already ciaimed this one. Suicide bombing is the MO of Al Qaida and other Islamic militants. Reports from many sources yesterday claiming the presence of Qatari and UK special forces on the ground, " co ordinating and advising the rebels". Also reports that some of the leading Islamic fighters from Libya have now moved on to Syria. It is all very well The West trying to replace a dictator, but replace him with who? They haven't got a clue, and if truth be told they dont really care just as long as Syria is in chaos. Then it is on to the main prize which is of course Iran, without any interference from their ally in the area. After the debacle in Libya surely nobody still believes the West is only getting involved for humanitarian reasons. President Obama "Deploring the bloodshed", this on a day when NATO have killed at least eight children in Afghanistan. Hypocrisy in its purest form. -

"Period"? Ah thats it, she was probably pre menstrual. Sorry. i'll get my coat!This working girl is looking closer to working Grandma. We don't know the back story, but sorry, even if the German was a total cad, she needs to be put of of business. How much? Up to you if you don't want to be stabbed ...
The reason I have no sympathy for this murderous lady of the night is that in our fair city, a prostitute may go to the police and complain about non-payment. Merely the threat of that would probably have made the German man pay. There is no excuse for her violence unless it was self defense. Period.

RIP to this lady. I have visited the battlefields of the Somme on a couple of occasions, a very sobering experience. Pretty much a whole generation of working class young men slaughtered for no good reason. As a wise man once observed, " Lions led by donkeys".

And yet Nato acted as the air force for said Al Qaida terrorists in Libya. Funny old world!Neutralizing al-Qaeda terrorists that kill American soldiers and scores of innocent civilians has to be done.

The US despises Assad because he is a hateful dictator yet only a short while ago they were rendering people there to be tortured by his regime. What changed?I find it interesting that Mr McCain uses the word " rebels " instead of terrorists, , which of course would be the term he would use if said "rebels" weren't fighting against a leader the US dispises.
I don't see the rebels purposely blowing up civilians as terrorists do. They are defending themselves against a fascist leader and fascist military that is perfectly happy to slaughter its own people to stay in power.
The US despises Assad because he is a hateful dictator who is a puppet of more hateful dictators in Iran.

If the UN wants to be taken seriously as a democratic organization they should do away with the veto. The idea that an overwhelming vote on any motion by the vast majority of member countries can be overruled by a veto from one country looking after their own interests is surely just plain wrong. There are five so called 'super countries' who have the power of veto, and they all wield it when it suits them, in defiance of the wishes of the majority. The maxim, we are all equal, but some are more equal than others, lives on in the UN.

"Another shows a prisoner with cloth over his face, writhing as an interrogator pours water over his head". But we all know this is not torture, right!I remember when he was originally tried....He admitted to beatings & some form of electric shock being used with a cell phone as some device in the chain.
Along with whipping & beating
He always denied ever using waterboarding or suffocation techniques. Yet there was a site that had paintings done by a former prisoner on the S-21 prison wall of waterboarding
Hopefully all such jailers/torturers will one day be put where they deserve to be.
edit....Here is the story of the prisoner who painted on the walls...Not the site I first saw which was a AP site
but same guy
Take water torture, for instance. Van Nath remembers it as if it were yesterday. I gasped as I entered a room filled with his vivid depictions.
One of his paintings shows a prisoner blindfolded and hoisted onto a makeshift scaffold by two guards. He is then lowered head first into a massive barrel of water. Another shows a prisoner with cloth over his face, writhing as an interrogator pours water over his head.

I dont think anyone is bothered about going topless on the beach, or even in the street. But it certainly is not shallow to find it objectionable when some overweight topless Russian shot putter, dripping with sweat, sits down next to you in a restaurant when you are eating, which seems to pass as the norm with these people. Quite frankly it is disgusting. And they obviously dont have a clue as to why civilised people would find it objectionable. Mind boggling.I can't see why anyone would be bothered if another person is topless or not. It's just a human body. Society already has too many rules. Nothing wrong with being topless. Why does it bother you so much? Are your lives so shallow that you have to focus on such trivial things?

"That might calm down all the Brits who love to bash the Irish all the time on these forums for any wrong doing".Irish guys...with accents from Liverpool........
More like travelling on an Irish passport as their original British one's were blacklisted.
That might calm down all the Brits who love to bash the Irish all the time on these forums for any wrong doing.
Like the British when they travel are such saints
You just made that up didn't you.

I agree that in an ideal world Iran, or any country for that matter should honour treaties they have signed, especially in matters as serious as this. But it is clearly wrong to just single out Iran, and use this as a justification to attack them. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone comes to mind. America and the Uk are both signatory's to the Biological weapons Conventions of 1977, which declares biological weapons as "repugnant to the conscience of mankind", and prohibits further research and proliferation. Yet the US Defence Dept has admitted to continued research at 127 facilities throughout the country. Likewise the UK at Porton Down, ( An area i happen to know very well), continues to do the same thing. Would impartial inspectors be allowed in to these facilities? Not a snowballs chance in hell. Surely if Iran is obliged to "Live up to it's obligations and dismantle their programme", this rule of thumb should be applied to The US and UK. To suggest otherwise would surely leave one open to accusations of hypocrisy and double standards. Do as i say, not as i do is so very last century!Despite years of claims by the USA & Israel, that Iran is developing nuclear weapons, NO EVIDENCE has ever been found. At the moment there are three states, (India, Pakistan & Israel), that are classed as US "allies", that have refused to sign any treaty limiting nuclear weapons, yet the USA continues to make demands (without any factual evidence) on Iran. Perhaps they should put their allies houses in order first.
The IAEA report imakes it pretty obvious what Iran is up to as do their own actions.
As for India, Pakistan and Israel, they have signed no treaties, but Iran HAS. Iran is the one that needs to dismantle its nuclear program and live up to its obligations.

Iran has not denied the holocaust, they have questioned the numbers that were killed. To quote your own rhetoric back at you, to assert that Iran has denied that the holocaust happened is a bald faced LIE.Like I said, the "soft" war is already on and has been for a long time.
BTW, the beloved American President Obama's favorite color is blue, not pink.
Not that there is anything wrong with pink, but what were the Persian propagandists trying to pull with that pink thing? Was it an anti-gay allusion? If so, not surprising from a barbaric regime that denies the holocaust, threatens Israel's very existence, murders their gay people (except those willing to have their genitals cut off which they will generously pay for), stones their "adulterous" women to death, and cuts off the limbs of thieves.

IMO even if the inspectors find no evidence that Iran is trying to build nuclear weapons it will not make the slightest difference. Look what happened to Hans Blix in Iraq. It is obvious that Israel have made a decision that Iran must be attacked come what may. Of course they don't want to put their military's lives on the line, they want others to do that. From the UK standpoint, Iran is certainly no threat whatsoever. But as usual, British foreign policy is dictated by other countries interests. There is no appetite whatsoever in the UK for a war with Iran, just as there was no appetite for war with Iraq. But in our strange version of democracy the wishes of the people will just be ignored, in favour of the bankers and arms manufacturers. If voting made any difference it would be abolished.

Lack of content duly noted. I also note with interest that you haven't responded to the point about who carries out the largest amount of bombings / killings.
People, PLEASE stop complaining about people using snippets. Doing so is perfectly OK and "legal" here on the forum. I suggest using ellipses though to indicate that there was text before and/or after. Of course, if you use snippets maliciously to deliberately distort intentions and meanings, that's another matter, but most typically it's just a matter of focusing on a specific PART of a post. Thus, its a brevity feature and benefit to use snippets. So you're complaining about a GOOD thing....And in common with others on here, i would appreciate it if you stopped quoting one liners from my post.
...
Of course. No one is under any obligation to quote a bunch of silly, extraneous spin unless they want to reply to it for some strange reason.

Mind boggling rant. Iran are no threat to the UK or The US,( although i suppose if they start accepting gold for oil payments that would upset the banksters). No doubt Iran would argue that Western values are a threat to their values. Who are you to decide that The US / Israel should attack Iran because you don't agree with their "values'. Has it ever occured to you that the population in Iran may be quite happy with their "values". Very few people in the West , certainly very few Americans know anything about Iran, only the propaganda BS they are fed by their governments, relayed to them by the tame media. Iran is a vast, sophisticated, educated country with a civilisation going back centuries. What they don't have of course is a Western controlled Central Bank, with Western owned debt, and for obvious reasons have no desire to join this club. If they want to sell THEIR oil to whoever they like and receive payment in gold, up to them. America really has to get over this belief they have that all the oil in the world belongs to them. And if the countries that are sitting on this oil don't like it, well, we are a superpower, we have the biggest bombs, and we will use them if you don't fall into line. This policy is doomed to fail, look at the mess in Libya now, and Iraq. I understand how you feel about hanging homosexuals, and adulterers, of course this is abhorrent to us in the West, but Saudi Arabia, Bahrain etc all have the same values as Iran, why aren't you slavering for The US to attack them too? Because they sell us cheap oil and buy billions of dollars of weapons from us? The US and the UK even sell instruments of torture to these regimes. Rank hypocrisy and double standards. And when it comes to terrorizing people, well, since the end of World War 2 The US has dropped bombs on the people of more than thirty countries, with countless casualties, probably running into millions. Bombing Iran will cause death and destruction, not just there but probably in the wider Middle East as well. The beneficiaries will be bankers and arms manufacturers. As a wise man once said, 'war is a racket'. And if you really do believe that the US has no interest in regime change in Iraq, well, you really are capable of believing six impossible things before breakfast!Because their values are a threat to western values. Yes, I am talking about Islamo-fascist totalitarian radical Islamic fundamentalist extremism and Iran has shown evidence they are into exporting those values, including in Muslim Thailand. Sorry, no!
