Oh ok. So you and a couple others hate Whalen because he is a white middle aged bad man. Now it's all very clear. She of course did not get herself into this mess. If she did not carry illegal drugs into Russia she would have never been in jail and none of us would be posting on this thread. Can you or any of the others haters of Whelan at least agree on this very simple post? Gracias ????

The true haters on here keep projecting through their infinite mind reading capabilities who is showing hatred, while other posters are just having a disagreement with what happened. Not a single person on here who has posted saying that this deal was not a good deal thinks that way because of someone's skin color or sexual orientation. There now I get to read minds. I think she is a great basketball player. The real haters see her as a black lesbian basketball player and they all think she should have been released and not someone else or maybe just not yet until someone else is released.

The article states this: "The officers also inspected the fire exits and conditions of each facility. They stressed to the operators that they must strictly comply with safety precautions such as keeping their fire exits open at all times." I'll bang on about this. The fire exits should be unlocked ( which they are commonly not, I've tried many over the years). They should not be kept open!!! Huge difference! I'll keep banging on if you think this is good! What fire inspector would ever make such a stupid comment.

Canada has just done weed completely wrong. They could not even keep up with demand for a long time in the beginning! Remember that? That helped with stocks tanking. The USA is the poster child for legal weed. Just little tiny Massachusetts made over $2 billion in weed last year!

I think Thai weed/stick has been around and easier to get than you realize. The kids here especially outside the big cities are able to get it their whole lives. It was certainly easy for me to get since the mid 90's here. I just didn't like the quality. The only reason there will be a " fake " increase in youths smoking here are just more pics or vids of kids smoking bongs or joints as you mentioned earlier. Sooo many Thais seem to be influenced by these often rare and staged pics we have seen and will see. The shops I've stopped into in Bangkok have been 100% tourists. What other things that became legal here have Thais used/done in excess after they have become legalized? I can't really think of any. Americans however are quite excessive with just about everything, even exaggerating things.

Who exactly am I hating? You pulled that out of your mind too? This was a win for Putin. I guess you love him.

Is the WMBA that popular except in your mind? Do they regularly fill up sports venues? She is no Kobe. She didn't even want to play here. Sports people are not hero's.

There is absolutely no hate on this thread ( as of now) what in the world is going on in your head? Your middle paragraph is quite dramatic and may reflect on your own inner bigotry! Really quite appalling! Do you realize who EXACTLY she was "traded" for. Have you looked up his stats before you spewed out her high school achievements? Please look up HIS stats. Your post is disturbing actually. This was a horrible deal. Putin is soo happy right now. This is even bigger than Brittany's Gold metal but you don't get it.

Class act unlike Brittany. Just imagine if it WAS his day? Oh the outrage by some! Of course he would say this.

94???

I really hope there won't be unnecessary gushing about this. This is the day Paul Whelan should have been released.

I believe that's not exactly true. I think you may need to be from the country where a certain city is located but not in the city itself. For example I arrived to Thailand a couple weeks ago. From the USA there are four cites that the applications go through. Washington DC, New York , Chicago and Los Angeles. You MUST pick the city that applies to your state. So I'm from Boston we must use New York City. Of course these are on a drop down in the beginning of the visa questions. I wanted to use my I Phone and the moronic Thai visa application does NOT let that section drop down. So I chose the first choice ( also the drop down doesn't go far enough to the right so you CAN NOT view what city that is!!!!) I chose the first city and continued the next TWO pages with tons of silly things you must keep uploading. THEN before I submitted I read you MUST CHOOSE the exact city for your state so I decided to view the visa sight on my I Pad. There is where I could see Washington DC was the first choice not New York. If I submitted my first app it would have been rejected and NO refund given. Can you believe that Washington DC could not just send this to the New York office??? I mean really ? Soo I had to do my whole app over because even though you can change some things before submitting visa app you CAN NOT change the city in the drop down section!! So I think if you live in England but in Manchester you apply through London office. If you live In Montreal you apply through Ottawa office not Vancouver. Etc.

Why would anyone need a law to tell them you don't park the WRONG way on a street?

He was walking down the street

What does your post back to me have anything to do with my question? Of course you will hear tales of woe on this little forum. In real life a lot of foreigners including myself have made good profits on buying and selling condos over the years. If I listened to most of them I would never have started in the first place. I remember clearly selling my first place on Satorn 12 in a slightly older building to a Thai female. Everyone here said " Thais don't buy older buildings " blah blah blah. I've only lived in quiet streets and still do. No karaoke ever. I think Bangkok was great buying and selling over the years. I stopped a few years ago but look forward to buying and selling in the future. Your last point about a yoga studio has nothing to do with buying and selling properties and by your own account you have no idea what happened! I'd stay out of Real Estate big time if I was you. ????

It's a terrible system. Agreed. I entered recently with a six day stop in Turkey. Turkey is not exactly the IT/Tech base of the world lol. I had to do the Thailand ( just the 60 day tourist visa) within a day of my Turkish visa. I type slow and Turkish visa took maybe a few minutes with one thing to upload. I got a six month multiple entry visa minutes later that I can use again on my way home in April. I must have had to upload six/seven things into the Thai visa sight. A couple pages long. Even had to watch two vids to understand some silly things they ask for. Four DAYS later I got a visa. So many completely unnecessary things they ask for. Who the heck would really want to do this for say a 49 day visit? It's absolutely insane. My first six month multiple entry Thai tourist visa years ago was a walk into the Boston consulate ( with an appointment) met the nice lady there we chit chat for exactly 9 minutes as she hand wrote out my visa. I did give her some paperwork that was briefly looked at. Paid and was done! The following year had to be in person or by mail to NYC consulate then it just got harder and harder. Very bad not even slightly thoughtful system. I really think many fifteen year olds could do a much better job.

Hard to believe with that post. Very hard. Article states he was walking down the street. You state he was hiding.

Bigger Oi. Huh?

Don't buy properties? As in condo's? Why is that?

I highly doubt it. A simple 75 day overstay. Where do you get he was hiding out from? The only thing mentioned was he was walking down the street. I'm reluctant to go home as millions of people are it's cold lol. I just don't get some of you part time detectives sometimes on here who make up stuff in their head.

Fun? Oi. You guys can all get together for a man's B session followed by lots and lots of whine! Kind of the same as here but different. Best for all of us involved too.

Same old 4 or 5 posters. Something has got to change here.

Elephant in the sisters room. Or Chang. He smoked waaaay more than weed since he was young. Did webfact check fact? I doubt it!

They can reevaluate some archaic rules. Even reporting every 180 days / 6 months is both convenient and they can still keep track of those people who report 90 days now. Thailand can change. You are so harsh! Other countries have also changed year to year. Get over it.

I'm confused where you and another poster KNOW CLEARLY he is no threat to anyone? I read the link twice. No one has any idea of his background before 2 years. Police records in the states etc. I just don't understand your assumption.
