As long as he's not hurting anyone, who's business is it anyway. 

 

Apparently it's the world's business as he went on FaceBook to brag about it. Had he kept his mouth shut. as he should have, it would have been done and dusted.

I feel for the guy. He needs to leave but is stuck in limbo because of the kid. Just one more of the 1000's of reasons why I went to the doctor and got myself clipped before I ever had a kid. I can't see any positives about reproducing and I've tried to see positives. Why would any sane person want a child? I simply do not and can not understand.

Me, I'd walk. leave the entire thing behind, kid and all. It's obviously a good thing I did all those decades ago because I just would not take that cr@p in my life.

The Thai are like most Asian countries I've been to. They love tourist dollars but would be perfectly content if the tourists stayed home and put the cheque in the mail.

"The arrest - in conjunction with immigration police -  came after information supplied by the British authorities."

You did read that bit, right? Maybe stay away from the Kool-Aid… 

Very astute as today was the 40th anniversary of the Jim Jones cult Kool- Aid massacre.

Taunting cops is never smart, even if they're slow witted lazy corrupt clowns.

It would be interesting to find out if there had been any extra work done on the boat without having it resurveyed. 

This was much of the blame when the Suwol Ferry sank in Korea with the loss of 300 high school kids. 

After the purchase there was a lot of work done on the boat which changed its center of gravity. 

What an insane reason to kill someone, anyone, let alone a friend. Good gravy, what the heck is going on with some people?

yeah, I'd be proud as a peacock to have my daughter bring him home and say, "Daddy, I want you to meet my new boyfriend. But you better talk quickly, cuz here come the cops."

I've eaten in a couple of Michelin starred restaurants over the years. The food is great, the presentation pure perfection, the ambience spectacular but generally speaking, this ol' home boy likes street chicken and sticky rice with some spicy dip.

My wife has had a Scoopy for years. Smuggled it in from Thailand before they were legal to sell in Laos. It has been fault free for 37,000km and running like new. 

With me living in Laos and the law passed a couple of years back allowing 2 land crossing per year, I am wondering how this will affect me? Is it going back to the old system whereby I had unlimited crossings with my multi-entry B2 visa for Laos? The article is not extremely clear on that point.

I notice that too. And you can add the ridiculous statement from some Americans if it wasn't for them then the French would be speaking German but conveniently forget if it wasn't for the French they would be speaking English...the pure British form 

You are absolutely correct. George Washington went to France twice begging for help to fight the British. France turned him down the first time as they simply didn't want to get into another war with England. The second time Washington was successful and the French joined the colonists to fight the British. Had they not helped, the colonists would have never had a chance.

The biggest highlight of this is from Mel Gibson's movie The Patriot which shows a single ship sailing over the horizon with the French flag flying off its top mast after the war is finished and the colonists have won. Americans believe that cr@p. Idiots.

Reading the American various media outlets, watching the news and countless TV shows, it's little wonder Americans think poorly of France. She is constantly on the sh!tty end of the stick. Few Americans know about the French underground resistance during WW2 and how big an effort it played.

I've been to 39 of the states in the USA over 100's of trips there and can count on 1 hand the number of Americans that knew The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France. It's astonishing how little they know about pretty much everything outside their microcosmic sphere.

The fact is, HIV isn't as prevalent as the fear-mongers would have us believe and chances of catching it are slim even with someone who is infected. Magic Johnson's wife never got the virus and he must have banged her 100's of times after he became HIV+.

Perhaps they were modeling the hotel after the rooms for athletes at the Sochi Olympics.

I was being sarcastic. Whoosh!

No whoosh, not really. I understood your remark for what it was and meant no offense to you. I was simply reiterating my original stance.

I'm just expressing my individuality man, same as a million others that have nose rings.

I get it...well, not really. But nonetheless, express it once you're through immigration. Use your head for more than a hat-rack.
