  1. New on the books for Uganda, so none executed yet. For executions, check out Iran, Taliban, ISIS was notorious for this. Favorite it dropping a wall on them. So maybe you might want to widen your scope so "as far as I know" includes at least a cursory search for facts. Just sayin'
  2. you need remedial reading class.... copied this from longer report I posted: 99 were charge with using "... dangerous weapon or causing serious bodily injury to an officer." Get your facts right" What part of "serious bodily injury " do you not understand? Or? as in " charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers or employees, including approximately 99 individuals who have been charged with using a deadly or dangerous weapon or causing serious bodily injury to an officer." There looks like two categories of "or" in first part: "charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers or employees..." which might be a lesser charge, like attempting to beat someone up. The part right after "using a deadly or dangerous weapon or causing serious bodily injury to an officer." Deadly means something that could kill you dead (far more serious than a bar fight)... same with serious bodily injury... not simply getting a tooth knocked out, for comparison. If I don't have your "or"s right, please explain what you mean and why those ors are crucial. Also how you reason that "causing serious bodily injury" does not mean an officer was seriously injured?
  3. You once more demonstrate a weak connection to reality. Republicans and the right always used to be hard core "law and order", support the police & FBI types. But if your wannabe fascist dictator sez "bite" you say "arf arf". None "seriously injured".. do you realise how insipid that sounds? Like it is okay to assault police officers when they are protecting federal buildings? Do you say the same for BLM protesters? They also caused $2.8 million in damage, including spreading <deleted> on the walls... you all in on that? from justice dept report ".. 284 defendants have been charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers or employees, including approximately 99 individuals who have been charged with using a deadly or dangerous weapon or causing serious bodily injury to an officer." Get your facts right, and don't be so stupid as to assume this is a "left/right" thing: it is democracy v totalitarian: this is official website of US government link https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/24-months-january-6-attack-capitol
  4. You really have no idea what you are talking about. Your senseless smear of "lefties", "free pass" etc is flat out stupid. US right wing Christians are the ones pouring millions into African anti gay culture. Read this https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jul/09/us-religious-right-lgbtq-global-culture-fronts
  5. 93% of those locked up in DC are there for assaulting capitol police.... the ones protecting our elected officials, you know, essential functionaries of a democracy. Not so much simple crime like trespass but attempt to stop the government from doing required duties as outlined in the Constitution. Any minimizing or excuse making is shameful
  6. or as promoted here "Buy one get one" which I dare say Thais go for like crazy, such as my wife.
  7. You don't know that.... only true if you happen to be registered voters in the same state.... ever read Constitution? Electoral college mean anything?
  8. I think we found the answer to the question "How stupid can you be?"
  9. sounds like they are 60 years behind Lonely Planet et al in covering places
  10. Uh, obvious but will say it anyway: enforce the laws.... if they were enforced on highways, fewer accidents. If they were enforced for water sports, fewer accidents. A stitch in time saves nine months in a hospital... or a morgue
  11. It's a good thing that aviation roars into the skies and not the seas.....
  12. Ever hear of algebra? Astronomy? Zero? Track record for them hasn't been all that great last thousand years or so.... 😉 But your blanket statement is just a display of ignorance imo. Do you know any Muslims? I would feel safer among a group of Muslims than among a group of Christian nationalists, full stop
  13. I wonder what would happen if the locals "just say no" to stoning the women? "Nope, ain't gonna do it... you want them dead for this, you kill them. Your problem, not mine" and just leave.
  14. The incident occurred around 10.37am today shortly after the luxury sports car had been taken for a test drive following repairs. Didn't take into account the loose nut behind the wheel....
  15. Shouldn't this be in "world news", if anywhere? I see no connection to "Thai news"
  16. “We are not providing any more information. The employees accept responsibility for any accidents that happen while they are working.” Lock him up. If employee dies because of lack of training, safety mechanisms, that is on the employer 100%. Or should be, but probably not in Thailand
  17. I wouldn't too much about up keep.... initial construction could keep me awake nights. Cheating on every sort of inspection and quality of concrete, steel, you name it. Too many buildings here have fallen/collapsed before they are even finished to everyone pitching in to make a dismal product. Silver lining might be it built so bad cannot even start it up.... If Russians help out, maybe name it "Chup Chern Nobyl"?
  18. This is listed as "science"? sorry but it is just flat out wrong (removed most of the post as I don't want to get banned for "statement of the obvious"
  19. "Thailand experienced a rise in these deceptive communications, Asia as a whole saw a reduction. " Thailand grabs first in another groundbreaking Hub category
  20. It is not uncommon for the courts here to give convicted criminals the choice of prison or becoming a monk. Many choose monkhood... There are good monks and there are those that should have been locked up at the very least.
  21. Nothing to do with this article, eh? "One man blocked the Norwegian, while two female pickpockets blocked the woman, allowing a transwoman to grab the belongings from their bag." Or maybe that was a PSA?
  22. No big deal. I bet they've met before....
  23. and who, pray tell, set the conditions of parole? His daughter?
  24. Catch up on the news, maybe change channels from "We distort, you deride".... Hunter did testify before Repub committee behind closed doors. He wanted to testify in open hearing so that the public and press could hear it all, not the erroneous, distorted wordings Republicans are known for. https://apnews.com/article/hunter-biden-congress-subpoena-impeachment-joe-biden-f91915376997b5327eb2e747816690b5
  25. I am pointing out that by being illegals, they still have to pay taxes and S Security deductions with no prospect of refunds or benefits (like a legal or citizen would). How can that be some sort of "defending"? Think for a minute. Big ag invited them in to pick berries and fruit. If they weren't in the US, crops would not be harvested, full stop. That is a fact. Look it up. US isn't all that different from Thailand as far as natives don't want to do physically hard work
