Politics Thai Senator Faces Jail for False Professor Title in Election Bid
Emdog replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Just what/where is "California University"? "Cal" usually refers to U of California Berkley... University of California Los Angeles" (UCLA) doesn't qualify? "University of Southern California (USC)" the same? Then there are spots like "UC Davis"... If she went to Stanford... nope. "I hit Google AI for what makes a professor in Thailand and it spit out this (minus "vibrant") In Thailand, the title of "Professor" (ศาสตราจารย์ - sàatrǎa-jaan) at a university is generally attained through a combination of academic achievements, teaching experience, and research contributions. Typically, one must hold a doctoral degree (PhD) and have a distinguished record of teaching and scholarly work within their field".hmmm went on to say sometimes a master's degree is enough But I prefer Phd: "Piled Higher Deeper" This going after her reminds me of when PM was deposed for having a cooking show. -

Report Paetongtarn Shinawatra Vows to Restore Faith in Thai Buddhism
Emdog replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The Buddha clearly taught not to base belief on faith, full stop! “Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.” Buddha quotes (Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, the founder of Buddhism, 563-483 B.C.) -
Hard to get figures, but AQI of 22 looks like equal to 1 cigarette. The air pollution in Thailand is murderous, literally, with numbers above 100 typical. If they do all the air scrubbing and what have you for smoking rooms, they just might end up having cleaner air than outside the terminal! Like I said, I don't smoke any more, but it still irks me the discrimination against smokers that puritain types put them on the level of Jeffrey Epstein. They are using a legal product in the intended manner... personally I'd rather be addicted to nicotine than the internet/social media But that' just me

I quit smoking 3 or 4 yrs ago, so didn't know they shut down smoking rooms.... why do they need a "prototype"? They used to have smoking rooms. Just fire those up again. Why reinvent the wheel?

USA CBS Drops Bombshell: Stephen Colbert's 'Late Show' to End in 2026
Emdog replied to webfact's topic in World News
How many did JC get on youtube or twitter? I'll guess none. In case you haven't noticed, or don't care to take into account, this is now an age when streaming. HBO, tons of web sites etc are vying for our time. SO it is disingenuous or just plain ignorant to compare apples and oranges. And your conclusion about late show obsession with Trump killed them is plain unsupported and charitably ignorant -

USA CBS Drops Bombshell: Stephen Colbert's 'Late Show' to End in 2026
Emdog replied to webfact's topic in World News
But okay if Trump interviews are edited, esp on subjects like his long time friend Epstein. Got it. Election interference? you must be joking. They settled because FCC must approve sale & FCC now lap dog of Trum Show me the law that says independent media businesses cannot edit interviews. What do you think sound bites are? Insipid to assume such a law, but prove me wrong https://www.thedailybeast.com/fox-news-accused-of-deceptively-editing-trumps-epstein-answer/ -
USA CBS Drops Bombshell: Stephen Colbert's 'Late Show' to End in 2026
Emdog replied to webfact's topic in World News
If press were required to always provide truth, it would be the end of Fox and all of those far right Alex Jones type. I didn't see the interview, but if CBS wanted to edit the piece, they could do that. It is their right. And your response is to not watch 60 minutes. Trump has no standing for a law suit anyway. Many times interviews are edited. And you think Harris is inarticulate? Take a look at Trump's babbling about "longest serving MIT prof" genius meeting up with/teaching unibomber and all that insanity... so full of holes and outright fabrications. Or go back: Should Obama sue Trump over his long running essentially baseless lie about Obama not being born in USA? Hundreds of smears, lies from DJT. No make that thousands -

USA CBS Drops Bombshell: Stephen Colbert's 'Late Show' to End in 2026
Emdog replied to webfact's topic in World News
Paramount (owner of CBS etc) caved to Trump admin over some 60 minutes story, coughed up pile of money and some unknown agreements, maybe PSAs for Trump charities etc rather than fight in court.. So much for freedom of speech defending. Why did Paramount cave? Big sales deal coming up in near future & Trump's goons might nix the deal. Colbert called out Paramount for their cowardice and failure to defend freedom of the press. Colbert is highest rated late night TV... some rumor about difficulty selling ads... did CBS try to reason? No. He heard about it just about same time as public. Anyway, that's what I've heard/read so far.... -

USA Iranian Official Suggests Trump Assassination as US-Iran Tensions Soar
Emdog replied to Social Media's topic in World News
What's good for the goose.... After US bombing, Trump said Ayatollah should thank Trump for not having him killed too. Would that have been called "assassination"? or rather some euphemism like 'neutralized the assets"? You whack my leader, I will whack yours. Eye for eye. Tit for tat. etc -
