he'd have to dig him up first.. ???? (sorry!) 

@Kim J no need to defend yourself on here. Last time I checked it wasn't a crime to dislike shopping centres, or express those sentiments in a forum.

As for your wife's cooking.. if she's anything like mine I totally agree with you. Whilst we do dine out regularly, I can honestly say it's very rare that we ever eat anything out that she couldn't have cooked at least as well, if not better. 

Anyone can be a 'Big Shot' with a gun. If you want to fight, do it the old fashioned way you coward! 

She wants to flee the country, her lawyer has already fled. Many Christians want to flee Pakistan, but this is not the answer, it will never solve the fundamental problems that blight their society. Their thoughts and values will never be compatible with modern life whilst they keep one foot in the 6th century.

Stupidity is not limited to Thailand, there now that should please "DICK"

I assume you are referring to richard_smith237, I hadn't actually read his post until now, but having read it I wholeheartedly agree with it. Despite who was at fault both mother and child were 'lucky'. This manoeuvre probably happens a million times a day in Thailand, and not always with a favourable outcome

The only reason she is lucky is because her stupidity did not end hers and / or her child's life

welcome to Thailand ????

she's lucky, the drivers usually keep going and later claim 'I didn't realise I'd hit anything' ????

Sadly suicide seems to be an issue within the dwarfism community. David Rappaport and Herve Villechaize also took their own lives after struggling with depression. May they all rest in peace

posters here slating the Thai authorities for enforcing the law.. <deleted>?? What do you suggest... an open door policy to the almost 4 million oppressed Christians living in Pakistan? They would immediately be followed by another 4 million Muslim Pakistanis pretending to be Christians no doubt. You don't solve the world's problems by absorbing them. What about ever other oppressed group, what about every other poor, malnourished, disaffected, disadvantaged, subjugated, I'll-treated person in the world.... do they all get a free pass as well?? Or are you happy with a handful of each to ease your conscience?

Isn’t that the same in every country, with every, and regardless of the offender? Tell me one country or crime where that isn’t the case. 

 

It is effective. Germany generally is a very safe country, and the crime rates are low. 

You sound like you are ok with angry young refugees smashing bottles in the faces of random Germans, because by your logic 'crimes happen in every country'. He said "this is for Afghanistan" which means his crime was essentially an act of terrorism. You may be ok with that, but I am definitely not.

The laws exist and yet it still happens.. so tell me how that is an effective solution?

Not sure what the answer is but something needs doing. This sort of behaviour cannot be tolerated

If I’m not mistaken, there already exist laws stating that such behavior is not tolerated. 

Maybe you should update your knowledge about Germany. It seems you don’t really know what you’re talking about. 

I spotted this clip the other day.. really upsetting to see these refugees/asylum seekers turning on their hosts like this. Not sure what the answer is but something needs doing. This sort of behaviour cannot be tolerated

to me the typical nigerian female enters thailand with a fanny full of coke and then is on the game around nana.

if it comes in like that does that make it 'crack cocaine'? ?

Anyone who hasn't seen the film 'Rush' must make a point of watching it. I'm not even a motor racing fan but really enjoyed this movie. It shows the human side of Niki Lauda, a consummate professional and gentleman of the sport.

Should impose a lifetime ban on people entering Thailand, who come with the sole intent of committing crime.

Nobody likes a thief... especially the cop on the left by the looks of things?

 yes I did mean Disingenuous,

Helping those less powerful (be it ethic, or any other social group) is not discrimination . It is a helping hand up. Though some suffer because of Affirmative action , collectively the whole country Benefits.

 

"Helping those less powerful (be it ethic, or any other social group)" IS DISCRIMINATION if it is at the expense of others who are denied the benefit, whilst being equally if not more qualified to receive it.

Your response is desengeneouse You know exactly what I mean . or you should. Next!

I assume you mean 'disingenuous'...

I do know exactly what you mean, but it is an irrelevant analogy. This topic is about giving unfair advantages on the basis of race, not sparing the lives of women and children in a life or death situation ?

 On a sinking ship  when they say "women and children first" at the lifeboats . will you complain discrimination? 

yes if they are selecting them on the basis of ethnicity. Next...

Offering benefit to certain minority ethnic groups at the expense of others is 'positive discrimination'. Despite it's good intentions, it is still a form of discrimination and should never be encouraged.

Sadly we need to remove the emotion from our collective rhetoric. "Solutions" are probably out there. Please watch the video I posted (Post 52).

It's the emotional element that causes all the furore and censure unfortunately. Common sense tells you that any amount of immigration can only scratch the surface of the problem, as your video perfectly illustrates. Poverty and it's associated problems have always existed (even in our own 1st world countries) It's tragic, but a 'natural' consequence of life, as was proffered by Thomas Malthus way back in the 18th century. 

Perhaps the greatest tragedy is that by taking a 'realist' view, you are instead labelled a racist, fascist, bigot, xenophobe, etc.

Yes it is. It's about image and appearances.

I know someone who took a job at Mc Donalds and went to start his first day.. they then noticed tattoos on his forearms and said he couldn't work there. So you are indeed correct. I think an employer should have the right to choose his staff according to their image and appearance.

From the U.S. McOpCo Policies:

"In general, tattoos and body markings should not be visible to our customers."

They are actually being diametrically opposed to "who they are" (whatever that means).  They are men, they are not being "courageous" and they are certainly not being "punished".  They are simply suffering the consequences of their own decisions to masquerade as females.

The way I see it.. it's the business owner being 'punished' for making staff choices based on his personal preferences and having the 'courage' to do so ?
