  1. One person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter. It's just a matter of semantics since both sides are guilty of deliberately killing non-combatants in this conflict. The massive pro-Palestinian demonstrations worldwide show clearly who the overwhelming majority of people consider to be the real terrorists.
  2. Spot on. Anybody who would consider marrying a bargirl needs a check-up from the neck up
  3. To imply that the Vietnam War was a "win" for the US in any sense of the word is downright ludicrous. "You win some, you lose some" might have been a fair assessment of the US Military in the past, but since 1945 it has been all losses in every major conflict they've been involved in.
  4. Pure evil. You very rarely see it so unadulterated.
  5. Lesson learned... Don't sign any contracts to work in or near warzones.
  6. What happened, did they get spooked by the recent Chinese submarine disaster that claimed fifty-five lives?
  7. Totally agree with all the good words about this efficient and honest man. A while back I brought in my Hp Pavillion Desktop to have the power switch replaced. He did it immediately and was finished in about 15 minutes. When I asked what I owed him he said "80 baht". I insisted he take 150 and told him that he had a new luk-kah pra-jahm.
  8. I'm surprised the resurgent Drug Warriors haven't linked this to ganja yet.
  9. Until very recently October was being mooted as a possible release time. Now these weasle-words from one of the crew. Did they get cold-feet at the thought of a real chance of a violent reaction to his early release?
  10. Hogwash. Thaksin and his criminal clan bent, twisted, and broke so many laws to enrich themselves while they were in power that they deserve to get stiffed good and hard. Mealy-mouthed objections to the circumstances of his conviction are usually agenda-driven.
  11. Yes, or if he ever goes back to a jail cell he might be "epsteined" in it.
  12. If this means the continuing of legal weed, then I'm all for it. If it means the return of Thaksin, then it will be chaos in the LOS.
  13. Agree totally. He doesn't have the spunk of a rabbit. A pre-arranged deal to keep him out of the slammer or he wouldn't dare set foot in Thailand.
  14. These octogenarians should be in care homes, not running the most powerful country on earth.
  15. My wife saves most of her irritability for me. Politics doesn't affect her that much. That's OK by me... the last thing I need is more controversy in the house.
  16. Try Union Science Co., Ltd. (formerly Union Chemical) located at 257/18-19 Suthep Rd. Wonderful place for all sorts of chemicals and lab equipment. Reasonable prices as well.
  17. The "Drive-Thru" 90 Day reporting works very well here at Chiang Mai Immigration. Tell them you want that system installed... ASAP.
  18. Maybe they are Nigerians. Confirmation will come if they start offering you wonderful investment opportunities.
  19. Perceptive comment that applies worldwide.
  20. It's high time for some attitude readjustment among the people who make our laws. Idiocy has prevailed for far too long already.
  21. Yes sure, join the club of donor countries and perpetuate dependence, incompetence, corruption, and violent conflict in sub-Saharan Africa.
  22. Spot on. The concept predated Eisenhower's Jan. 17, 1961 speech by a long time. First mentioned in Friedrich Hayek's The Road to Serfdom in 1944. A 1947 article in Foreign Affairs by Winfield Refler, also C. Wright Mill's 1956, The Power Elite, to name a few of the cogent warnings that were ignored and led to the ongoing disaster that US foreign policy has been since the Vietnam War.
  23. Neither were Mormons or converts as far as I know. The first was a Thai girl who joined his video stunts with alacrity until the relationship went south. It's doubtful that he is a practicing LDS member himself. The more loony a religion is, the more people who are born into it grow up and identify as "reformed" or "non-observant." Hardcore believers who see themselves as "God's Chosen" are beyond any rational discourse.
  24. More to the point: why did the Jewish Mob fight the Italian Mafia in the 1920s and '30s?
