What is a Skype? 2nd time sorry.

First, perhaps you should familiarize yourself with something called "Google".

Hall to all Mr. know everything ,

My baby is 9 months old, and my scooter is Yamaha. Where can I buy and install a baby/kid seat on motorbike ? Someone told me to try the shop called PUN YON near Pattaya Klang. And another shop opposite Friendship supermarket.

Does anyone have experience ? Normally how much is the price ? Thanks a lot in advance !

PS: Driving car in downtown is same like having a constipation , ho ho ho ... Scooter is much easier ))))

I hope this is a joke.

I have a policy of virtually never opening on other people's parenting - but you've made it very difficult to resist commenting.

And what are these inner nets everyone keeps talking about?

On Zimmerman My Space page of 2005, as reported by the Miami Herald on May 3, 2012 stated:

"I don't miss driving around scared to hit Mexicans walking on the side of the street, soft ass wanna be thugs messing with people cars when they ain't around (what are you proving that you can dent a car when no one is watching) don]t make you a man in my book. Working 96 hours to get a decent pay check, getting a knife pulled on you by every Mexican you run in to".

This also places Zimmerman in the racists category.

Cheers:

So what this shows at best is that in 2005 when he was 21 years old GZ made some comments about Mexicans. I don't know if the FBI reads The Miami Herald but as noted this was published in May 2012 -- as of July 2012 the FBI was still conducting interviews in its investigation: "FBI records: agents found no evidence that Zimmerman was racist". The Miami Herald. July 12, 2012.

Despite the headline, what the report said that they found no evidence that racism was an element as motive for the shooting - they made no comment about whether or not he was a racist.

This is what the 7 JULY 2012 Miami Herald article actually said:

After interviewing nearly three dozen people — including gun dealers, Zimmerman’s former fiancé, co-workers and neighbors — the FBI found no evidence that racial bias was a motivating factor in the shooting, the records show. It’s unclear whether more interview transcripts remain to be released.

If The FBI were interviewing co-workers and neighbors, etc., they were trying to determine personality characteristics and a profile in general and not specifically what happened on the night of the incident.

One can be the Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan and still kill a black person for no reason other than self defense, so the ruling of the FBI is in regards to what is relevant and not a comment on the unknowable.

By the way, the linked article does not say this, does it?

"FBI records: agents found no evidence that Zimmerman was racist"

On Zimmerman My Space page of 2005, as reported by the Miami Herald on May 3, 2012 stated:

The title is misleading as they have left out Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar, all part of SE Asia.

I have no proof, but I think Thailand comes ahead of any of those countries.

Why do you think that? I don't know that you are wrong but AI wonder what you base that on...

I do recall at least one study had Thailand at second from the bottom in the world but Vietnam about 20 places higher.

Someone already addressed this absurdity so this thread is very old.

Zimmerman called 911 to talk about the weather?!

Take that sack of sh*t somewhere else to try to sell it, and to someone else.

Stupid strawman. No one claimed the purpose of the call was to make that comment - which you know full well.

Using your (lack of) logic, he called 911 in order to voice a racial slur.

That murderer Zimmerman has been at it again...

Zimmerman was one of two men who came to the aid of a family of four -- two parents and two children -- trapped inside a blue Ford Explorer SUV that had rolled over after traveling off the highway in Sanford, Fla. at approximately 5:45 p.m. Thursday, the Seminole County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

No doubt this was all set up just so he could look good.

(And for those who don't know me or lack the ability to spot sarcasm... YES, this was an attempt at sarcasm.)

Well, that settles it! Clearly he was not guilty of any wrongdoing against Trayvon Martin...

(And for those who don't know me or lack the ability to spot sarcasm... YES, this was an attempt at sarcasm.)

Before Thailand was occupied by Japanese forces, the Thai leader of the day (can't remember who he was) cut a deal with Japan, knowing his country could not mount any significant resistance to the Japanese forces. The Japanese forces were basically granted free passage in and through Thailand. They landed on the beaches without resistance. The deal was 'you can come in, you can come through, but you cannot take what little we have, and you cannot cause any misery to Thai people. And if you do not honour this, we will resist, with all our might.'

As such, Thailand was never a victim in WW2. They saved their country, saved their people, and probably made money from the Japanese. The suffering was limited, and this is why Thai teenies have no appreciation of how we feel about them idolising Hitler. He is cult figure to them. Maybe if their granparents bored the scars of muder and torture thay would have a different opinion. Shame on them for the insensitivity of it, because their Asian neighbours suffered greatly because they chose to fight .....

If you knew more about FM Pibun (the Thai leader of the day that you can't remember), you'd paint a somewhat different picture perhaps. Extremely pro-Japanese before the war (as a militarist who admired their brand of fascism and their ascendancy over the western powers in the region), he is a key part of the story - not surprising as he is one of the most important men inThai history.

2 questions; When did Rolling Stone become a magazine? (It's a tabloid.)

Secondly, why would anyone care?

1) It has always, by definition, been a magazine. (It does not meet the definition of tabloid).

2) Read the thread. If you still don't know why some people do, give up.

Glad to help.

I honestly think that world over .... The death penalty should be in force for sexual offenses on minors of any age up to the age of acceptable adult consentment ... as to what that age should be ...? Yes .. debatable !...There is so much and so many infant / child rapes happening all over the world which lead to many other crimes committed thereafter by these very same victims who then themselves get undue severe punishments for acts they do caused by the abuses they themselves went through ... but that their abusers got away with for years as they were too scared to expose them .... the violaters that is !! It is all very sad and where is the limit of control & punishment that won't on the other hand make people subdued to overwhelming police monitoring & control ...

Although I am in total agreement with you about the need for severe punishment for anyone who engages in such heinous acts, I do not concur with your assumption that victims tend to go on to become perpetrators themselves.

I was a victim of severechild abuse myself, not sexual, but extreme physical abuse. I endured some horrendous treatment by a very vicious father for 15 years, before I was able to stand up for myself and bring an end to it.

I have three children of my own, all with lovely grandchildren, and I never once considered inflicting the same treatment upon them that I had been made to endure.

Contrary to your assumption, I believe that having lived through such difficult years, the last thing you would want to do is inflict the same sort of treatment on your own children.

As best as can be determined, it is not at all uncommon for childhood victims of sexual abuse to become abusers themselves. That you haven't replicated with your children the evil visited on you, does not I'm afraid, prove anything other than not ALL victims emulate their abusers - which no claims.

Your closing line would seem logical and obvious but in fact the human psyche isn't always so straightforward.

.You're missing the point, it's not about Hitler any more it's the disgraceful fact that the genius's can't spell congratulations.

Genius's

Who can't spell?

Oh, sweet irony...

Oh, look! Another person who either can't read, is really dimwitted - or both!

Back up your disgusting comment: show me how and where I defended pedophiles in any way whatsoever.

The frustrating part to me . . .

Not sure why I bother, but the true racists are those that believe the message to our children here is to not trust non blacks as opposed to instructing our kids not to commit violent acts toward other humans regardless of their race.

The racists are those that bash the legal system as being racially biased, bash jurors they don't know, bash the prosecution for not making big deal out of gun control laws, accuse the Florida system of some how being impacted by an old insignificant white trial level judge from a far away state, and on and on simply because something did not turn out the way they had planned or hoped based on PERSONAL reasons.

The racist are those that believe when things don't go their way it is because of white Anerica.

The racists are those that speak out in a case like this, but care little when a non black person is targeted by a black person because of their race.

The racists are those that refuse to address the true problem, black on black crime and the disproportionately high number of crimes committed by non whites and instead complain that the system is geared to lock up blacks.

The racists are those that believe a non black should be targeted for a hate crime or revenge motives because something did not go their way.

The racists are those that believe violence is ever okay and acceptable when directed toward a non black under any circumstances including a jury's decision to acquit.

The racists are those that focus on nothing but racial divide and racial animosity when something does not go as planned or turn out the way they had hoped.

Well, I'll be damned. And here's me thinking the racists were people that believed that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.

I always vote, I voted for Obama twice, I only vote Democratic as Repugs have done nothing but start wars, Democrats were the movers of the Civil Rights Bill, Equal Rights Amendment and all the others.

They passed the Social Security retirement.

And they will be behind- Justice for Trayvon,

Cheers:

I have only voted for Democrat presidents as well and while I have no great esteem for the party, they tend to be closer to my own political positions than their opposition.

But you need to brush up on your history regarding Civil Rights. Look up the "Southern Bloc" to start with...

Barrack asked us to search our souls. The problem with this is that he has made too many laws against people being able to express what is in their souls, and to call upon people to search their souls means to engage in honesty. Putting limitationon uttering honesty, I feel, really is quite a defeating thing to do if we are all supposed to come together and get out the poison before we can clean the wounds.

Sincere and simple question: which laws? Which limitations?

To the extent that I was abusive, it was in response to saying I had excused pedophilia. Now you go on to lie again even more insultingly.

By the way, it's an easy dodge to say "I'm not going to discuss it" after you've said blatantly dishonest and verifiably false things but feel free to point out where I obfuscated or in what regard did indicate insufficient knowledge of Thai law or fail to make sense.

There's nothing in Thai law or any other that makes my position incorrect or your claims accurate.

Many bad mouth and disrespect our President Barrack H. Obama because he is (Oh My God a Black President).

Not many. Some. However, most of us who disrespect him do it for different reasons. He has purposely divided the country for political gain and his policies overseas and domestically are hastening the decline of what was a great nation.

I could care less what color he is.

Well baring the unforeseen there are 1279 days until the JAN 2017 Presidential Inauguration when a new US President and a real American may take over like Mark Rubio (whose parents were born in Cuba) or Ted Cruz (whose father was born in Cuba or barring any birther challenges as Ted himself was born in Canada) or even George P. Bush (son of JEB whose Mother was born in Mexico)

Hillary Clinton is the odds-on favorite already.

Here we go...

In previous articles of a similar nature I have commented on the obscenity of paedophilia and then been attacked for those comments by the apparent defenders of the practice.

Without even reading the posts in question I'm going to go out on a limb and call bull...t on that one.

Much as it pains me to say it, but Mudcrab is quite correct about some posters supporting pedophellia. Comments like 'she was only just below the age of consent' or 'the age of consent here is higher than elsewhere' rather set the tone.

This person, if guilty, deserves a life sentence. However it's about time chemical castration was accepted as an appropriate punishment as well as jail.

Arguing that sex with a girl near the age of consent (ie mid to late teens) is OK or not so bad may be a lot of things but it's not even close to support of pedophilia.

Look it up: pedophilia doesn't mean what you apparently think it does. The simply fact is that Ephebophilia is not even classed as a disorder so while there are a lot of very negative things one might reasonably say about a man whose primary or exclusive sexual interest in mid-to-late teens, it is in every sense except (arguably) legal, it is much less egregious than having a sexual interest in a pre-pubescent child and the latter is FAR more aberrant. And a man who has sex with, say, a 16 year old is not necessarily even an Ephebophile let alone a pedophile.

Have I just defended or supported pedophilia?

I've watched Obama's remarks and read it (link below). I'd like to say that it's not bad at all. The headlines with "Trayvon Martin could have been me" does it a disservice. It's a 17 minute number and trying to sum it up in those 6 words is misleading.

I think both sides of this debate should listen & watch the whole thing. He makes a lot of good points and observations.

Maybe there could be a thread dedicated to his remarks where members can discuss the points he brought up? Oh, wait, never mind.

Wow. At last, the all too rare attempt at objectivity.

And a great point very well made, in the closing.

Good post.

Amazing, but not surprising responses posted here.

A Thai man...allegedly...note ...hasn't been to court yet ......is hung , drawn and quartered.

A similar story where a farang is concerned has everyone demanding natural justice...the mother probably sold the child for sex etc etc ad nauseum, ....don't call him a paedophile as he hasn't been to court blah blah blah......

Sometimes seems as though certain forum members lean towards paedophilia, or at least support those thus inclined.

Wow.

In previous articles of a similar nature I have commented on the obscenity of paedophilia and then been attacked for those comments by the apparent defenders of the practice.

Without even reading the posts in question I'm going to go out on a limb and call bull...t on that one.

Even though I can't possibly fathom what this poor little girl went through, I hope and pray for her to be able to live a normal and happy life after this ordeal.

The only good I get out of this story is that it appears (at least to me) that today more and more Thai women won't buckle under the pressure of domestic violence and bring husbands to justice, whereas this would seldomly happen some 20 years ago.

I am tempted to write here though that I can't understand how, as a mother, she was unable to "read the signs" and become suspicious much earlier within those eight years, but perhaps this is an unfair thing to say...

In some circumstances, I would find a mother like that as disgusting as the pedophile - or even more so.

How many here look at Internet porn? I'd guess 95 percent. The other 5 are liars.

What's the difference in what that fella did. Not saying its right mind.

Let's see...

Women and men in Internet porn are consenting participants.

1) They are paid for it (or volunteer).

2) They sign release forms.

3) They are not trying to go about their daily lives and have their privacy invaded in an ugly way.

* There may he exceptions to this but I'd wager the vast majority of the porn most people view meets these criteria and that when they don't viewers are generally unaware and are not knowingly complicit in the violation.

You think this is the same as viewing porn on the Internet. You imply that it may be unethical. Ergo you think viewing porn may be unethical as well...so what you are saying is that this guy and porn viewers are equally fugged up?

I would put internet porn viewers as much worse on the 'fugged up' scale of things.

Of course you would.
