  1. It's hard to get into the good schools. None of the parents dares to complain. It's like this in almost every school. There's no real alternative. Giving food from home is fine, but if the children get money, they'll not eat it. Also all children get money, if your child is the only one without money, the teachers will give him/her the leftovers of the candy of the of the other children - to teach them to share.

    None of the school I know in my country has a candy shop or sells deep fried snacks. These things should not be sold in a school.

    When I was at school in the UK, there was a sweet shop in the school. It only sold sweets. This was in the time before enlightenment.

    My school dinners from waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back were excellent..........Roast dinner, sponge pudding with buckets of custard for afters...wub.png

    Good dinners, that's why you were always in detention. :whistling:

  2. "The park chief said the department has filed more than 400 cases against owners of properties encroached and built inside national parks during the past three years."

    The past three years were a wild wild west in many ways. Things are changing for the better now.

    They've filed 400 cases in the last three years, you interpret that as a sign of the failings of PT's regime, but you have no idea whether filing this many cases is out of the ordinary. Or do you? Can you tell us how many cases they've filed in the last six years? Just so we can get a sense of whether the number given for the last three years is out of the ordinary. Also, for all we know, they might've actually filed more cases in the last three years as they were able to do their jobs properly where they were being blocked before. I don't think this is likely, but we can't know for sure by just looking at the figures alone.

    Anyway, if the past is anything to go by, it suggests we've no reason to think military leaders would be any better than politicians on this score. Recall the Surayud fiasco.

    Wasn't Surayuds house in the same park demolished a couple years ago too?
