"89% of teenagers do not use condoms during intercourse, which puts them at 9 times the risk of contracting sexually-transmitted diseases and HIV, compared to an average person"

since its claimed that only 11% of the teen population, which counts for the 9x,

Does that mean the non teen population uses condoms to a rate in excess of 90% ?

the term "bullsh*t" comes to mind.

This issue is too important to clutter with bullsh*t.

I know what his dad is thinking

" i'm glad he's not dead

So i can kill him when i see him!!"

lol

He's got a lot of 'splain to do

I would imagine that the correct Surname will also be influential in who gets into certain Universities

yep, its always a combination of Grades, Exam Scores, Money, and Influence.

Some combination of the four will get you in any university in any country.

You just need to know the correct formula for the school you're interested in.

I bought a pack of burgers this afternoon. Rumour has it they were runners in the 3.30 at Chepstow in a previous life

Yep. now days, you either win, place, show or "medium rare"

Reading all comments here I got the vague impression that being Dutch has somehow made me less susceptible to suggestions that putting a finger in a dyke is an offence and a crime against human dignity

As i noted in a previous article, its front page on US Yahoo.

I am surprised at how quickly the driver was released on bail.

What kind of warning are they going to give to tourist?

"WARNING! Some Thai drivers will reach down to the floor of their cab to pick up stray baseball caps, bottles of M150, and other things while driving at high speed."

Lets not be unrealistic here. This specific case is not a Thai issue, I dont believe. Several cases happens a year in california with similar results. A someone drops a ph, a lady is putting on makeup, a teen is eating a burger, and the winner almost every year, Someone is texting!!!. Yes, this happened in Thailand, but it happens everyday world wide.

Its just a sad case, thats all. I know we'd all like to vent our anger, and fustration. but lets be a little more realistic about the cause, and how we can help prevent a similar thing in the future.

In this case, the cause was an inattentive driver and the result is a particually sad situation.

just my 2 cents

The biatch on a Thai radio channel this morning just stopped short of saying it was the couples fault for not wearing bright clothing.

While i agree with pb regarding the inappropriateness of the reporter, she (the biatch ) has a point. its always a good idea to wear reflective clothing or patches while on the road on a bike. Bicyclist die on US roads also, alot due to bad visibiliy.

Sadly in this case, I think they could have been wearing LED clothing and it wouldnt have helped.

Um... I never heard that broken fingers can be a problem, not for those fellow lesbians I spoke with... and especially when some add ons aren't easy to get, necessity is the mother of invention, ya know.

*GULP*

I think i need a cigarette now please.

I didnt want to go that far

for fear of being singled out

for "illegal use of the hand" lol

This is HUB number two for this year.

Guess there is many more to come.

Payback! (yes?)

One of my favorite movies!

i'll chip in. but i'll chip in less if they are alive

Also of course, the woeful epidemic of comical lesbian finger injuries could be greatly reduced if Thailand legalized ... dildos.

Wait, i missed this earlier (its been a tough day )

in a land of soi cowboy and pingpongballs

umm "ladies helpers" are illegal??

<deleted>???

How can they possibly rationalize that bit of legislation!?

But then again coming from a country where in some parts

its illegal to sell peanuts after sundown on Wednesdays.

and laws as such,

I really shouldn't throw stones

Hubba Hubba

dam_n, you beat me to it!

Seriously, you have to laugh at this stuff.

The alternative is just too depressing!

I'm shocked!! and oh so disappointed!!!

ummm, where can i get a copy?

Better hurry, there's gonna be a crackdown on lesbians.

This one almost got you the daily double!

OK i just saw the trailer. and i'm still shocked!!!

umm, PS i'll need an english subtitled version.

not for me you understand, a 'friend' requested it

umm, PS i'll need an english subtitled version.

Dude!

I am in your debt!

ummm

check that,

My 'friend' says they are in you debt!

NOW they are worried?

A little preimplementation study, goes a long way sometimes.

Thanks DP. I am inclined to politliy refuse since they planting of evidence has been confirmed in the past. The shoplifitng scam at BKK for example. Basicly it is business as usual. Each individua;l has to make their own risk assesment.

You need to pick your battles.

Chance that you can fight and win is minimal

Chance that you can get publicity and effect change is even less

The odds are that you'll bring a lot of greif on yourself, still end up paying, and have no effect on anything.

I say pay, move on, and live to fight another day.

Just being practical buddy, Not being disrespectiful or trying to bring you down.

I'm shocked!! and oh so disappointed!!!

Enough, that's too munch, I say.

AND!!!!!!!

we have a winner for the pun of the day!

NICE!!!!

I'm shocked!! and oh so disappointed!!!

ummm, where can i get a copy?

A daily quota of martyrs may help.

Could you make that a large daily quota?

Just wanted to be clear

While i believe the sentiment is a bit harsh

I'm digg'n the humor

I'd be very surprised if Thailand was taken off the Watch List.

The US aren't stupid. This country is one giant IP infraction

Stranger things have happened.

Wait,

you mean those vid booths,

as prolific as air molecules,

arent selling the real thing?

I have noticed that internet based sources are drying up

but i havent seen a single vid booth close.

So they cleaned up somethings they can show,

but didnt impact any votes, or income.

Actually a pretty nice job,

if the US buys it! (pun intended)
