1) I do not recall AV going bonkers about Mrs. Suun Kyi being released from house arrest or even loosing a word on the matter, on the day the whole (democratic) world rejoiced. as last seen when Mandela was freed!

2) IF she would have met with The Lady, how many of you would have bashed her for a cheap popularity stunt?

Why would they have to know about the battle of Britain. Totally unimportant for them. They need to know their own history first.

How many of you have been taught anything about Thai history ? I know i havent.

I have not been taught about Thai-history!

Why?

Nothing really matters about Thai- history where I come from.

Should they know about Hitler?

Hell, yes!

That guy started a WORLD WAR, which - by definition- affected Thailand as well!

Great- what a hillarious collection of Rambos, Flintstones and Know-it-alls!

As much as I OF COURSE do not condone what that woman did: where is your compassion for HER? Did anyone of you anti-abortion- guys, loving fathers or otherwise totally prejudgemental people EVER think about her situation? So...here we go (and this is only 1 possible scenario): Typical Isan childhood- never really went to school, but at the age of 9 was taken out, because mom needs her in the house or working in the ricefield- no education- arranged marriage to a guy she never met from the neighboring village at 17- most likely abusive husband with alcohol problem, 2 or 3 mia noi's- leaving her at the age of 18 with an unborn child- family looses face, as daughter can not satisfy her husband...that's why he leaves her- next thing she know, she is on the bus to Bangkok to dance pole at Patpong- high alcohol consumption to make her "loose" to dance almost naked in front of strangers- more alcohol to make it bareable to be f-ed by 65 year old, drunk and abusive farangs- every night- one demands sex without condom, propably rapes her into that- pregnancy- new "lover" wants to go to Koh Phangan with her and seems nice; maybe her chance to break out- but...she still is pregnant....

I am not saying, that is how it was! I am not saying her ex raped her for sure! But that is how it could have been. You wish her hell? No need! She has been there!

And all you anti-abortion moralists: "funny" how you always put the UNBORN life higher, than the already born!

Oh and by the way: I am German. At the "Babyklappe" children are not "disposed" like old clothes. If you want to use such a term, they are deposited, taken from there seconds after they have been put there, and nurtured and loved and can grow up to be human beings, instead of being aborted, strangled on an airport toilet or otherwise missused and killed. If that is "german efficiancy", for the first time in my life I am proud to say "I am german"- a lot of countries...including the "Land of smiles" could sure need some of THAT efficiancy!
