Para 1 ad hominem sarcasm..par for your preambles.
Para 2 One man's ideological-political view is another man's objective analysis.
Para 3 The vested interests are those of USA and Israel who have been able to pressure the UNSG to censor the report.
I notice none of the actual issues and discriminatory laws raised in the report have been addressed by Israeli apologists yet. Just the standard fare of deflect, obfuscate, besmirch.
Your last paragraph brings up a point that is not only relevant to this thread, but to the shameful topic itself.

It might have been the Honda step-through before the Web, but the web has changed everything to a degree that's hard to grasp, and thew pace is accelerating. Imagine the educational and social changes that will happen once the solar and battery technology gives everyone in every remote village 1GB a second access to all the world's information.
...and most of them will use it to watch porn.

I don't see any spin. This is what's great about the US (and other democratic nations). Public protests like this are OK and actually healthy. It's all part of being democratic.
The attempt to use a strike by immigrants to disrupt the country was a conspicuous failure.
That should be clear to anybody.
-
A Day Without Immigrants/Strike4Democracy was a manifest failure.
Why not just admit that obvious fact instead of trying to spin it?

...and rumor has it that the leader of this gang is either NancyL; Hubby; or Mr.Bitey.
The recent demise of Glen Bullard as honcho of the Outlaws MC created a vacuum that needed to be filled.

Grum Yorum Susturulamaz is wrong writing, the correct writing is 'Grup Yorum Susturulamaz'
Grup Yorum = Name of the BandSusturulamaz = Can't be silence
Meaning of all sentence is 'Grup Yorum Can't be Silence'
Thanks for the clarification.
What do you think it refers to?

You've answered your own question, George.

This is one of the most bizarre topics I've seen in a long time.
I can understand sleeping in your own vehicle in countries like the US where even basic motels are 80 or 90 dollars per night and cheap hotels are confined to crime infested urban jungles.
But Thailand???
Here you are spoiled for choice when it comes to affordable accommodation.
That has been one of the good things about this country that hasn't changed in the 30+ years since I first came here.

What a terrible feeling it must be to have your house and land threatened by wildfires.
It must be similar to what the Palestinians feel when Israeli bulldozers are about to level their homes and olive groves.

Thanks for that link.
It's an excellent thread and a good source of information on the subject.

Human tragedy? Such hypebole. There are other countries....you can get a 1-year visa in Cambodia for around $300 per year and don't even have to do 90-day reporting. There are options!
Yes, there are options in other countries but none of them look good to those of us who have been here for a long time with our Thai wife and children.

trump has shown signs, again and again and again, of mental instability and being a short fused vindictive HOTHEAD.
Now this character is president elect of the most powerful nation on the planet.
Many people very naively think there are checks and balances between this demonstrably mentally unstable man (don't believe it -- view his TWITTER history and campaign speeches) and the use of the nuclear codes.
Sadly, no.
The entire world should be very concerned that we make it as a planet through the horrible mistake that the American voters have made. I'm deeply embarrassed by what my fellow Americans have unleashed. All Americans share at least some guilt now in not doing enough to stop this from happening. The world was counting on us and we failed them.
But too late now.
See video about trump's access to the codes.
Since his election victory Trump has shown signs of mental stability and of being anything BUT a short-fused vindictive HOTHEAD.

That's probably true, his family, and only his family.
Nobody else would give a damn after all these years.

I was not aware they made changes to Index Living Mall.
Under Thai law, any statement can be defamation, even true statements such as, "You have black hair " or, "You've put on weight."
That's true in theory, but in legal practice the intent to cause harm to a person, business, or organization has to be proven in a court of law.

What is 'index'? Not that i'll ever go there, based on your say-so.
He probably means Index the furniture store.
A broadside of negative generalizations that, when posted on a public forum, would be actionable under Thai law.
He should be aware that truth or falsehood are not relevant to Thai defamation laws. It is the intent to defame that can get you into trouble.

I reckon more related to the democracy allergy of the junta than China.
For sure.
Wong's presence here might act as a catalyst and reignite student activism.
That reason, and a disinclination to offend China no doubt explain it.

the US $ was crazy high in the 80s it was up to 3 ,50 DM and I think the UK pound was $1.10 or so ......
but then it went the other way and was 1.30 DM and about $2 for a UK pound......
Great way to make a profit if you have the balls for it :)

I remember it in the early 70's, when there were very few foreigners there and you could walk the town.
On 9/28/2016 at 11:46 PM, WinnieTheKhwai said:Yeah. And it sucked. If you want a town like that then there are plenty nearby.
No, Chiang Mai in the 1970s didn't suck in any sense of that word.
Just a lot different than it is now.
The population explosion and building boom of the early and mid-'80s changed the city out of recognition but it was a lively place even before it reinvented itself.
There is still a lot of the old town left behind the modern façade and the Kohn Muang with their instinctive civility are yet to be found here and there.

Thanks, MisterTee.
You're quite welcome.
It was the obvious conclusion.
The disturbing thing is to think that he may still be on the loose and posting.

What kind of pants do you wear?
Live and let live.

You're all being too hard on evenstevens.
You might as well dump on Dame Edna Everage while you're at it.
His posts are often amusing and occasionally informative as well.
Now he's promoting - for whatever reason - a new bar in Hang Dong.
The Hangout, formerly The Game, before Glen Bullard and Mark Hutcherson met their untimely ends, might be worth a visit if only to find out who's running it now.

All the best.
My wife isn't the laughing girl that I married 32 years ago, but I have no regrets at all. There have been a lot of ups and downs since then and things haven't always been easy.
I love her people, her language, and her country, so that has helped the relationship. What she sees in me, I just don't know. Farang hoo-uh kaang is what I'm often called.
She raised our two daughters in a traditional way while having them educated for careers in the modern world.
They've both turned out very well I'm happy to say.
Good luck to you too.

This debacle was foreseeable from the beginning.
Another in a long series of military and political failures by the US and UK.

Peremptorily calling demonization to silence normal criticism of Israeli government policies has long been a familiar tactic.
It doesn't work anymore.

All good points.
Paying for expedited service is common worldwide.
A good example is getting a US passport.
But hey, why let the facts get in the way of a little gratuitous bashing of Thais and Thailand?
