Thai man fined and sentenced to prison over craft beer review
bendejo replied to snoop1130's topic in Central Thailand News
No doubt it was this atrocious behavior that caused so many students to drop out in the past year. Menace to society is what this guy is! -
And the poor fellow gets upstaged by getting fired the same day as the other guy, which is getting a lot more coverage. But I would think a rational person would want to go off quietly. I'm sure he has enough $$$ to live out his days as he pleases, wouldn't mind being in that position.

Tucker Carlson out at Fox News, 1 week after Dominion settlement
bendejo replied to Scott's topic in World News
Ok, step up punters, who will they replace him with in that time slot? My first bet is Charlie Kirk, they have been grooming him. https://www.newsweek.com/charlie-kirk-says-gun-deaths-worth-it-2nd-amendment-1793113 -
Tucker Carlson out at Fox News, 1 week after Dominion settlement
bendejo replied to Scott's topic in World News
Tucker is heir to the Swanson TV dinner fortune. He's not going to be hurting financially. But I could see him doing some kind of People's Temple thing. I can no longer stomach Jon Stewart but I give him credit for being the first to openly confront this guy on television, about 20 years ago. -
Netflix Sued for Depicting Cleopatra as Black
bendejo replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
Social Justice Warrior types like to point to the centuries of oppression, exclusion, discrimination etc to make their case. Now with movies coming out where there are Black solicitors and doctors in Victorian England, as just a small example, doesn't this sort of diminish their claims? Some might say that this rush to show diversity in the entertainment industry can be seen as an attempt to whitewash the past: "see? Even Dickens told of Black solicitors in his day!" This is ironic because the wholesale virtue signaling is an attempt to make themselves the good guys. -
What about that bearing false witness business? Makes things pretty inconvenient for the politicians, no? Forbidding adultery and coveting? Who wants to be hearing about that all the time? Definitely not the senators! IMO the people who make big fuss about this stuff, and express their piousness with bravado, are the ones to be suspicious of.

But if they did that would make them "woke." ARGHHHHHHH!!!! A few days ago DeSantis gave a campaign speech where he used that word so many times that news anchors in the US are laughing, I think the best score so far is 12 times within 20 seconds. Ron DeSantis Mocked After ‘Buzzword Diarrhea Of The Mouth’ Rant Against ‘Woke’ As for the Ten Commandments I would expect Texas to be more inclined toward The Golden Calf. Barbecued, of course.

Netflix Sued for Depicting Cleopatra as Black
bendejo replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
Thanks to 21st century movies I am learning that there were a lot more Black folks in 19th century Britain than I would have guessed, and a lot more upper-class intermarrying with them too. According to the latest dramatization of Dicken's "Great Expectations" the main character's puppy-love girlfriend is Black -- who'da thunk? Waiting for a show with a Black Winston Churchill. I would think a very scandalous move would be a depiction of Prince Harry where the actor actually bore a resemblance to King Charles. DISCLAIMER: all the above is intended as sarcasm. -
Turkish man assaults Pattaya restaurant worker, leaving him in a coma
bendejo replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Best thing that he can hope for at this point is they put him in the immigration jail. If they put him in with Thais they'll kill him. -
Netflix Sued for Depicting Cleopatra as Black
bendejo replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
Guys from East African countries have told me Cleopatra was black, and is a historical and romantic woman. One fellow told me he thinks she would have looked like the model Iman. Not much chance of multi-ethnic mixing when her family only married their siblings. -
Thai Spouse travel history/convictions and UK Visas
bendejo replied to MicroB's topic in Marriage and Divorce
There are documentaries, articles etc about the way poor people are sold work permits for other countries, only to find they have become chattel. Taking away the passport is the real kybosh. -

That's quite a career arc. -
Using marijuana may affect your ability to think and plan
bendejo replied to gargamon's topic in Thailand Cannabis Forum
Yes. We all do. I asked myself the question "where do I see myself 20 years from now?" and I figured I would need a new bong by then. -
A Trump Civil Trial Is About to Start. It’s a Nightmare for Him.
bendejo replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
It’s a Nightmare for Him He doesn't sleep. He stays up to monitor what the media says about him. Narcissism is a full-time job. -
Arrogant would be an understatement! Congrats on today's success, buddy! Glad to hear it went well.

Woman sparks outrage by posing on the train tracks at Auschwitz
bendejo replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I would prefer if this incident and its likes are not reported on, as it might give ideas to the US's new Nazis to go over there and do similar things. On the other hand those shmucks will probably get arrested en route for being armed, and they'll be locked up for at least a little while. -

A few days a US wing-nut politician warned of marijuana zombies in New York City. I had a comment to make on this but I forgot what it was.
