Attempted rape of Bangkok schoolgirl: Motorcycle taxi rider in custody
bendejo replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
"Paging #41, please report to the police station." May as well have worn a name badge as well. The suspect reportedly said that he wanted to sleep with a child. Impressive! I was expecting him to say she gave him the boxcutter to trim her hair, or the usual ridiculous stuff these jokers come up with. -
Look ma, no brains! A fellow from Kentucky once told me "what's a redneck's last words?" "Hey, y'all, watch this!"

Royal Thai Police on Alert for Possible Iranian Spies
bendejo replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Malaysia is quite friendly to Iranians, and LOS LE is quite receptive to cash donations. Not a good combination. Yet another case of "the fault is not in the foreigners, but in ourselves." (apologies William S.) The old timers in here might recall the incident, maybe 10 or so years ago, when an Iranian with a bomb in a suitcase blew his legs off on a Bangkok street, I think it was in Thonglor. Also around that time it seemed hardly a day passed without a report from Swampy that they caught yet another Iranian trying to smuggle ice. Gave the impression they were selling the stuff at the duty-free. -

Perhaps the Thai Rocket Propulsion Laboratories in Yasothon is working on something. -

For years word has been going around that Pompeo is a man of ambition, meaning the White House. Next year, when the comers start lining up for the 2024 primaries the right-wing gladiators will be going in for the kill (figuratively speaking) against each other. He could use this to bolster his tough guy cred. During the 45 administration I had the impression they wanted Assange extradited to the US so that they could make use of his expertise. Again.

Texas governor: 15 killed in school shooting; gunman dead
bendejo replied to Scott's topic in World News
Oh, you mean the Republicans who saw the USSR/Russia as an adversary (better dead than Red), and who saw Nazism as a negative? Anyone recall the old television advert "this is not your father's Oldsmobile"? All the WWII vets are gone, and rolling in their graves. CPAC held a convention in Belarus? A quasi-fascist dictatorship is a model for the direction of the GOP? Definitely not your father's GOP. -

A GOP senator. Or a pseudo-Democrat senator, you know their names. -
Consuming Pork Sashimi Can Lead to Lethal Illness

Probably the only real downside of a religion that does not reference the Old Testament. -
I agree with the above, it may be a browser problem. Probably the simplest way to sniff it out is to try other browsers, and the easiest way to do that would be with the portableapps versions of other browsers. These "portable-ized" versions will keep all their related data in the installation directory, so they will not mess with your AppData stuff. Or the humbug could be caused by a browser add-on. Most browsers will have a way to start without the installed add-ons, a quick web search should be able to tell you how.

A bunch of Thai goons, emboldened by their numbers, and along comes a mouthy foreigner. Most of us have seen these guys in action so we know better. Cruising the streets at 3:30am? hmmmm..... The rental vehicle could have been a bike. Would that be the same security goons who just kicked his _ss? A large group of friends gathered up at 4am? The rumble with the bunch of Indians would have been a sight, lets see how fast they run!

Venice tourists swim nude in canals and vandalize church

Eels love filthy water, my guess is there's lots of them there. Men swimming naked? Eels might be attracted by Mr Johnson. -
The next U.S. abortion battle is over pills, and it's already begun
bendejo replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
That, fella, is a matter of perspective. Brett Kavanaugh Refers To Birth Control As 'Abortion-Inducing Drugs' At Confirmation Hearing It's been four years, did no one see this coming? What's the sense of televised hearings other than senators getting to preen for the cameras? Perhaps the guy who still likes beer does not understand the difference between birth control and miscarriage-inducing meds. I thought this was pretty ominous when he said it. A lot of Americans are not smart enough to see the folly of the statement, hence it can be given gravity by anyone who repeats it, like clerics and other judges/politicians. -
Elon Musk sued by Twitter investors over takeover offer
bendejo replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
The important thing is that he gets his name mentioned and picture posted every day. It's worth the occasional billion bucks to ensure that. Especially now as he's building a political brand. "Political Attacks On Me Will Escalate ‘Dramatically’ In Coming Months, Says Elon Musk." Sounds like a plan. https://www.thetechoutlook.com/internet/politics/political-attacks-on-me-will-escalate-dramatically-in-coming-months-elon-musk/ -
Only two ways BoJo will cease to be PM: he's in shackles or dead. It's an international craze these days. He didn't say he didnt attend the location , he stated that it wasn't a party. When does an office meeting become a party, is the question Similar to the dilemma in the US these days: is it a group of tourists visiting a government building or a lynch mob?

Texas governor: 15 killed in school shooting; gunman dead
bendejo replied to Scott's topic in World News
Wow, a paper! Who says the Dems never get anything done? Connecting yourself to the gun lobby for $4,000 ? Melania spends more than that on a single trip to the shoe store. Bad judgement. I know you want to keep the GOP at bay, but there's better to choose from. -

A series of political assassinations in the US started in the 1960s. After the incident law enforcement always said the same thing about the assassin: JFK (1963): "we've known about this guy" RFK (1968): "we've known about this guy" MLK (1968): "we've known about this guy" George Wallace (1972, injured but not killed): "we've known about this guy" Then came the gals who went after Gerry Ford, Guess what they said. I was in grade school when JFK was shot, but even at age 11 I had to wonder "if you know about what this guy is up to . . ." -

Ah, Marsha Blackburn, the GOP senator from Tennessee who, during the grilling of SCOTUS candidate KBJ a few weeks ago, boldly declared "I care about children!" Spoken with such bravado as if she was taking a stand in a contested controversy. Would have liked to have heard someone ask her to double-down on that statement a few days ago. Amy Klobuchar is on there, hi Amy! What, you grovel in the slop for a mere US$4k? Old joke time: A man approaches a woman and asks "would you have sex with me for $10,000?" The woman looks him up and down for a few seconds, then says "yeah, ok." The man then asks "would you have sex with me for $10?" She says "hey, what do you think I am?" Man replies "we already established what you are, now we're just negotiating the price." Great job being member of US Congress, you can not only enjoy the feeling of sitting with your thumb up your butt, you can accept bribes for doing so.
