Lol, Putin and Russians think Obama et al. are a bunch of weak clowns . . . and I have a house full of Russians and Ukrainians daily. They have zero respect for Obama and Kerry and Obama and Kerry are dumb enough to think Putin will play ball nicely with them. Can Obama et al. be any dumber, more naive or show any more weakness.

> Hearing some of the renter's thoughts

> Spreading them as a government level policy

Russia is interested in cooperating with USA in anything as long as USA keep it fair

You guys are full of stereotypes and prejudices . . . My wife has a bachelors and a speciality degree (MBA equivalent) from Novosibirsk University, an MBA from Yake and is an investment banker with Merrill Lynch BofA Global Investment Markets. Lol, I rent from her . . .

She is pretty tied in to big Russia $$$ in Moscow and St. Petersburg and deals with the heavy players over there, but I am sure you do as well.

My comments, however, are based on my perceptions and knowledge. While the average or common Russians are truly struggling nightly right now, they support Putin 100% and view Obama as a joke as does Putin. Putin would be fine with a closed economy and returning to the days of a USSR type status (as would most Russians right now) provided he accomplishes his objectives in Syria and can supply his oil to Europe.

So you have a house full of alcoholics and ATM skimmers daily.

You should be so proud.

Love it! That's the males you speak of and the precise reason why I have a house full of Eastern European hotties all the time. Actually, the few that have Eastern European hubbies also over here have Russian husbands that are absolutely killing it financially. Lol, they are either in investment banking or computer security for financial institutions and large Fortune 500 companies. Irony . . . or is it any wonder why they are paid astronomical amounts to keep overseas hackers out of our banks.

Like Putin and Russia are good judges of character....

Loll, boy did that one fly over your hard!

Only because she got caught.

Sorry, but you as refugees don't have a voice and I for one don't care to hear your voice or opinions about what you perceive as unfair. They are mistaking generosity and benevolence with rights.

They say ISIS is moving into SE Asia. I wonder how well countries like Thailand would be able to deal with ISIS . . .

There is just something inherently and/or genetically wrong with humans that could even think about acting this way toward their children or not be absolutely mortified by such behavior.

Unfortunately, even the moderate Muslims or those alleged to be good Muslims are severely desensitized to this type of behavior and have no place in America culture. This is very much the same with Mexicans crossing the border. They live in a state of witnessing and condoning constant egregious, horrible human atrocities and have become desensitized to and almost immune to violent acts of kidnapping, torture, mass shootings in the streets where no one gets arrested, body parts laying around the streets and in parks, tortured bodies hanging from bridges and overpasses, vans found with stacks of headless bodies or just torsos and living in absolute filth, horror and corruption. The law enforcement kidnaps for the cartels and tortures and extorts just like the cartels do.

We simply do not need that crap here in the US and I do not want to be around or support with my tax money people like this from other countries. I have no choice when it comes to mentally unstable here, but we do still have a choice when it comes to certain immigrants.

Here, you have the advantage of us. Because, in the west there is a press that at least occasionally can go after the government and not be subject to arrest and closure. But the corruption and brutality done by various government agencies in China goes mostly unreported because it's just way too dangerous for reporters to do their jobs properly. I remember when the NY Times reported on how wealthy the families of eminent party officials had become. As a result, The Times got banned.. The only time the Chinese Press reports on corruption is when rivals of the ruling clique get prosecuted. It's truly amazing how honest and incorruptible the family and friends of Xi Jinping are. I mean, the Chinese media never seem to have a bad thing to say about them. Odd, that.

The CCP is not a perfect Govt ....no practical Chinese believes in that including myself, I just hosted 25 government officials and trying to get them to stick to a timetable of meeting was harder and i needed Cesar there to do his "sshhhh" thing and the nudge to show who is the pack leader

Been to a Chinese reeducation camp before ? I can bet you its not the Norwegian jails which we are still studying where that will work for such a big jail population

Seen the recent purges in CCP party by Xi ? Some of it released to the press and what happen to their families and themselves in court ?

No happy smart aleck Lawyers here to get you off the hook ....no John Grisham storyline of a technicality or plead of insanity ...its just guilty and head to the camps ...

How many senators have been purged for bribery so far or generals convicted of bribes recently by the Glen case ...what happen to them ? Have they been stripped of their rank sing and lost their pension yet ?

Have they been shot ?

The Chinese know if you do something wrong ....eventually the officials will come and everything is taken away ...

As the poster said , only news of the opposing cliques is published ...when you add that up happening on both sides every time we change a president for 10 years you find we have got rid of more unethical officials but it's not a numbers games as we know government is inevitably temped to cheat and that is down to the person

We have seen it happening in rich and poor countries , democratic and not

I don't even know why the Chinese bother to hold trials. Since the verdict has already been decided.

Same reasons they don't understand why you hold trials and have all these dud cases (not all) that makes a mickey out of the judicial systems and wasting tax payers money

Like why do you have a trial and can sue Mcd when you walk into a glass door ? Why would you waste time like this and not apply common sense and laugh it off

Ever tried suing Mcd in Thailand for having too spicy burgers and giving you a heart burn ? Why won't you do it here or argue with immigration ?

Sadly, your are educated by the internet or Thai Visa and have absolutely ZERO clue about our judiciary system and tort law or how it functions and what the results are on a day to day basis here in America. Perhaps you impress or amuse your other friends living in China or SE Asia educated by TV forums or the internet, but you come across sounding a bit ignorant and comical to anyone with any sense and that is even remotely informed about reality.

Democracy building, American style, courtesy of Tiny George II, and his misfit band of thieves and miscreants. Saddam was a bad man. His son Uday was even worse. But, there are alot of bad men in the world. Those guys kept Iraq stable, ISIL did not exist while they were still around, Syria was stable, and the entire region, though living under repressive regimes no doubt, was stable. Then we came in, and wala. Presto. Instability, increased terrorism, and just generally bad news. Nearly every country the US touches turns to crap. Disastrous foreign policy, under neophyte, wanna be leaders.

A word of advice to the US. Leave the damn world alone. You do not know what you are doing, you have no vision or wisdom, and these countries do not want your foreign policy.

In the movie Hyena Road, which is an excellent depiction of the futility of both the Iraqi and the Afghan war, one of the actors, who plays one of the intelligence officers says: "There is little understanding of what the government sent in its fellow citizens to do on the nation’s behalf, Gross says. “We don’t understand these places. The conflict in Afghanistan was never supposed to go on for 15 years. We are in Afghanistan longer than we were in the First World War, the Second World War and the Korean War combined,” he says. “I think one of the problems with these long counterinsurgencies, it’s difficult to know where the end is. ‘What is the end status?’ as Pete says. It just arrives. One day there’s a memo sent out: ‘Hey, we’ve done our job.’ ”

Another great quote from that movie: "These people here. They have no use for what we have on offer. They don't want Justin Bieber or Tom Jefferson or our fricking pornography. They just want our money and a little bit of stability. So how do we win? There is no winning. Just an end game laid down by our state department".

Hello?!?!?!?! You do realize that Sadam and his minions committed mass scale human atrocities and genocide and is responsible for perhaps 500,000 deaths. His minions tortured people, burned people alive, melted people alive with vats of acid, gang raped women in fronton their families, impale victims with hot metal rods after smashing their toes and removing toenails, just burned off limbs so the victims would live, gouged eyes and forced millions of kurds into concentration camps where perhaps 1,000 a day would die and be tortured.

Yep, thing were real good and peaceful over the before the US involvement. . . . The fact is, these people are <deleted> idiots and animals and will behave like idiots and animals no matter what.

WHY?

The sooner global warming, ice ages, Tsunamis etc come on the better. It's about time Earth had a reboot. Can someone explain if this was part of God's plan?

Sad to say but your 100% right. Seems we have reached a tipping point where the evil and crazy far outnumber those that would do good. I feel tremendously sorry sometimes thinking that I knowingly brought children into this ever increasingly <deleted> up world and hope none of this type of shit ever happens to them.

You do realize that you and the whatever it is you quoted sound just like or have the same mentality of the numbskull that went crazy and killed her children. Perhaps everyone and everything in the world seems bad to you two posters because you guys and that other dude have also gone off the rails, when most everything and most everyone else are just fine. I suppose some of the depressed, messed up types are just incapable of seeing this . . . or perhaps that is just the predominate types of people that fall off the face of the earth and end in up place like SE Asia and eventually jump from high rises . . .

This is a C of G problem and nothing new. If the drawers, when full, are all opened the cabinet will fall forward. If you have ever working in an office with multi-drawer filing cabinets with no drawer interlock you will have experienced it!

I understand that the IKEA 'fix' is a retention lanyard screwed to the unit and the wall behind.

Common sense by the user should be the answer but since this is North America and class action lawsuits abound there is a duty of care issue and IKEA has to act. I have similar units in my hobby room that I secured simply to the wall using angel brackets.

Also coming to a European Union country soon...........

Yup, and 3 year old kids come with an abundance of common sense.

No, but a good parent should

Lol, you apparently have not had kids . . .

Yes, please do sue them after they provided you with wall fixing equipment, a clear instruction to fix it in BIG LETTERS in order to assure ( beyond the law ) that every precaution has been taken to protect your child. And they are still liable when the user neglects to read the instructions of usage. It' s the same thing as the old lady who sued Philips for not mentioning that drying your wet cat in the microwave is not a good idea, and the family that sued GM as their son died in a car accident ( caused by him by the way ). Guess what happened, the companies lost and had to settle, GOD BLESS AMERICA, they need all the blessings they can get, poor sods.............

Lol, perhaps you should not educate yourself via the Internet regarding such matters.

The microwave law suit by the old-lady is internet lore. Make believe.

I used to represent GM. Although no one would have any clue about all the lawsuits in which GM was involved, I would be happy to look up the case to which you refer if it is a real case. I can envision someone being negligent and causing a relatively minor accident setting off an air bag that shoots a projectile into the skull of the driver and many other fact patterns that might fit what you describe. But alas, you provide zero facts or information making you appear woefully unintelligent if you can not envision a situation when a death is cause by a superseding, intervening cause having nothing to do with the negligence causing the accident.

If he wasn't a muslim then then no problem. Americans are only scared to be killed by muslims, the other 30,000 people killed per year by non muslims is nothing to worry about.

Keep fear alive!!!

Huh? Lol, what an idiotic comment. Yep, no Americans are afraid to die unless killed by a certain race.

Do you even take time to think about what you are saying or does it just not register even after pondering it?

The good thing is, killings are still news, shocking and upsetting to the general public in the US as it is still sufficiently random and isolated that we have not become desensitized to it.

Murder and violent crimes are so rare in the areas in which I reside it literally takes you back and makes you pause for moment when you hear about it. This actually happened last night when I was at a neighbor's birthday party and they told us of a store owner whom we did not know getting robbed and shot.

You apparently have zero clue what life is like here. Yep, there is violence, but it is generally limited to certain areas, while the vast majority of areas are incredibly safe. I early lock my house or my car doors even when parking downtown.

From personal experience it is amazing how american courts usually reach totally insane verdicts favoring the female sex. Most verdicts end up with the male party being financially destroyed, and I would definitely make no decision on this one until I knew all the facts. Who knows, maybe true justice was served, but if so the judge should have been included

And you base this on what?

Regardless as to how assets are divided, so many men are just big pusses and lose it when their chicks start screwing other guys.

If you don't like the divorce laws, don't get married or get a prenup. So many insecure guys out there think marriage is security . . .

Fact remains, guys are stupid and wusses. It ain't the system. It is their insecurities and stupidity.

Sadly, Obama, whom I voted for, is doing everything in his power to dilute white majority and voting power. He would like nothing more than to see whites in the minority and suffer the same consequences that he views minorities having suffered because of whites. I get it and don't particularly disagree with his philosophy even though it is completely jacked up and shows he is one messed up dude even though he is probably unable objectively view and understand the underlying premise and motivations for his actions, beliefs and ideas. Obama is kind of a like a white dude that swears he ain't prejudice and means no harm because he says "I have got many black friends also." He may try and convince himself otherwise, but he is in denial and his actions indicate otherwise.

There are two factors in this equation, both illegal. It is funny how we concentrate on one but not the Other. What we gave them but not on what they gave us.

They came here illegally, but we also profited from them illegally.

If one should not profit from an illegal act, then the other should not also.

Are you in the states?

How did we profit from them illegally? Mexican food? Sadly, most of the Mexican food places that get raided frequently should be raided for their food quality, not the immigration status of their workers. They create gang and drug problems out the arseeee and they are drain on resources when they show up and have babies in the hospitals with no ensurencito . . . Grnated they do a lot of good construction work and etc., but now employers are stringent with I9 requirements so the scoundrels needing to go back are not doing legitimate work either.

Well as America has the largest military in the world with Nuclear weapons the rest of the world would like to think they aren't totally bat crazy and have half a clue. Starting to become as laughable as Pyongyang at the moment. An idiot orange 'politician' on the loose and an idiotic military causing strife all around the world. America seems to have all the symptoms of a mental illness.

I was looking for an intelligent reason rather than mindless speculation. Still haven't read one yet.

Nah, you are just looking to be negative and are too obstinate to view things objectively or have a positive outlook.

I read this topic with interest as to what some numb nutz did to cause such a stir. I was then mildly entertained by the thought of what this bozo is now thinking once his buzz is wearing off and having to explain this one to the family and/or his employer. You on the other hand take a benign and mildly entertaining story and somehow use it to fuel a deep seeded vitriolic emotional problem that leads you down a path to nuclear weapons, all Americans are bat <deleted> crazy and display symptoms of mental illness. Okay. You are actually even more entertaining than the article itself.

I'll take that as 'Other than wild speculation I have absolutely no idea why F-16 were required'

Lol, it does not take a rocket scientist to realize there is a protocol whenever there is a potential passenger disturbance and threat on a commercial airliner.

The guy apparently said he had a gun, threatened the flight crew, made a threat against the plane, and would not leave the cockpit area. Whatever happened, the threats this guy made arose to the level of initiating fighter escort protocol. The fighter protocol is not to protect those inside the plane from the crazy passenger, but to protect those on the ground from having the plane used as a weapon ala 9/11.

Bat crazy, as you put it, would have been to shoot the plane down under the circumstances. Having a fighter protocol for threats against airliners in this day and age of all kinds of crazy Muslims and other mental defects wanting to cause mass murder is prudent and welcomed.

All is well that ends well, so why get all worked up about it?

So does anyone actually have an intelligent reason as what 2 F-16 fighter jets can do about an unruly passenger that wont sit down? The cockpit had not been breached the plane was on course.

Has America totally lost its collective mind?

Lol, why do you and others get so worked up about stuff like this or all things American if you don't live here. Relax, enjoy life. It will be alright. Hilarious are the concerns of some about costs and fuel if a fighter escort who neither live here nor pay taxes here.

Are they supposed to wait until cockpit us breached and plane is heading toward a school yard or a skyscraper.

Yep, they will shoot it down if for some reason the situation gets out of control, the plane ends up in the hands of terrorists and will be used as a weapon against people on the ground. I am glad they are extra precautions and this poor drunk dude is going to feel like hell when he comes out of that black out.

Just imagine the phone call to the wife explaining that he got too wasted, started a raucous, caused a flight to get diverted with an fighter escort and needs to be bailed out.

I think some posters here weren't even born before September 11, 2001.

Either that or they just live to whine, complain and deserve an extra shinny drama queen crown for the day.

"This is the saddest day of my life. I can't even wrap my mind around the horror of what happened last night in Orlando, where 50 joyful dancing queers were murdered by a religious extremist. I'm sad -- devastated, in my soul -- about that; but I'm also sad that the events of Orlando have shattered my political beliefs, as I can no longer swear allegiance to a peace-love-and-unicorns progressive philosophy that only helps to get my fellow queers killed." LINK

Either very old or very bigoted to refer to gays as queers.

Try leaping into the twentyfirst century, or even the late twentieth!

Oh wait!

This is coming from the ever compassionate member who lives in America and is .always posting on a forum for people who live in Thailand , usually about what he perceives as problems in Thailand that he never experiences,

I understand now.

Always consider the source.

Never Mind, It's just Never Sure

How are things in America?

Any new shootings are proud of that we haven't heard about yet?

I think he was quoting someone else . . . hence the quotation marks and the bright purple link button labeled "LINK."

I see no mention of the fact that he was an American, born in the U.S.

This was domestic terrorism.

Just an another American wacko with an AR 15.

When you permit civilians to own military weapons designed only to kill a lot of people at one time, you should expect this to happen.

One wacko man killed about 50 people and wounded about 50 more all by himself.

This could not have been done without a military assault weapon.

Think about that.

The reasons I said father will undoubtedly make is a homosexual issue as opposed to a religious issue is because the father himself supported the Taliban and had an anti-American talk show. This Afghan anti-American whack job father born and bred another anti-American Muslim, Islamic killer . . . he absolutely will say whatever he can to misdirect the focus from where the focus needs to be.

The problem is brining more people in like the father that are apt to this thought process and will have children that will be apt to this thought process and easily influenced by those adhering to this thought process.

Nightclub shooter’s dad hosted anti-American talk show

http://nypost.com/2016/06/12/nightclub-shooters-dad-hosted-anti-american-talk-show/

In another paper, his father has said his actions had nothing to do with religion. They may well have a lot to do with his upbringing, and the attitudes he learned at home, which to me are inseparable from his religion.

Of course his father is going to say that . . .

What his father said about him may well be true.

From the facts that have come out so far, he sounds like a typical wannabe cop.

As American as apple pie.

Nah, sounds like a deranged loser from a Muslim immigrant family that took heed of the recent preaching of another Muslim loser cleric stating all homosexuals should be executed.

I am as Anerican as apple pie, live a beautiful, peaceful life, don't own guns, don't even need to lock my door at night. These outlier blips on the radar screen and vocal few you see in the media are not indicative of what real Americans are like or the wonderful lives full of opportunity we live.

Sadly, there are many losers out there full of envy and hate. Even my Russian wife says that the Chechnya Russian Muslims try cause the same problems in Russia, but Russians are smart enough to deal with that element decisively and appropriately. We in the US are too nice and try too hard to see the good in people even when there may not be any good present in those people.
