  1. Repeating past greedy behavior and expecting different results. A failure in the making.
  2. I'm sure that the unemployed, destitute, homeless and struggling businesses will take great comfort in seeing money spend on repairing beaches without people, which in all likelihood, will again be washed out to sea.
  3. In the past, there was another dark regime which required a symbol to be displayed on clothing and "papers" marked to identify the holder as a "undesired class". What next for these transient decision makers who come up with these ideas?
  4. Numbers and statistics are puddy which can be manipulated for any agenda. The current lot at the helm have had years to fabricate and corrupt anything they see as useful to control the masses. This latest adventure fits in nicely towards that aim. Time shall reveal the real story.
  5. Reform would be be served by a clean sweep from top on down. Sadly, the corrupt are unwilling to cut off their ill-gotten revenue stream. Is there one honest, incorruptable, powerful and professional human to be found in "that" mob?
  6. The question by the OP is pointless. What others are doing does not remove my responsibility to comply with a law, regardless if I agree with it or not. The defense for non-compliance is weak when using the behavior of others as justification.
  7. This rag is from Xinhua News Agency headquartered out of Beijing.
  8. Eye candy and a money maker under the table. The foot paths are a shambles, stop signs bleached white by the sun or blocked from view, wires hanging and concrete poles leaning from the shear weight of the cable madness, screaming scooters/motorcycles with modified mufflers, no mobile traffic enforcement and on and on. Eye candy does nothing to address the ills of this dying city.
  9. Cleverness has little to do with it. The government and media have sown a bumper crop of fear, disinformation and hysteria in the population. The fatality rate (according to Wikipedia), if that is factual, seems to be around 0.083. According to the latest WHO data published in 2018 Influenza and Pneumonia Deaths in Thailand reached 44,549 or 9.11% of total deaths. Seems strange that past history of the causes of death has been overshadowed for some reason.
  10. Yes indeed. It seems that he and others are of the belief that they must make periodic appearances and announcements to be relevant. His medical education portfolio is a empty and his utterances are merely filler and fodder for the media.
  11. It's in the handbook used to silence free speech.
  12. Tasteless. Any murder, including your's, is not a basis for humour.
  13. Public Servants are a bit different than private citizens. Access to public money, unchecked power, opportunities for corruption, nepotism and other irregularities are reason for disclosure and verification. There is but one Chief of the RTP and he supposedly works for the people who seemingly, are entitled to that information by Thai Law.
  14. History being replayed. They must have overlooked that their replacements can enact legislation to repeal previous legislation, including this proposed bit of dirt.
  15. The laughing stock are in positions of being able to spout such nonsense without consequence.
  16. No shortage of critics who most likely have never spoken to this women. Plenty of scolds saying "she should have", when most likely they are not paying her way in life. Anyone have cancer and in a similar condition? Please speak up.
  17. The usual bar-stool comments. A lady has been serious injured during a violent domestic disturbance and some creatures use this as a platform for their juvenile comments. Truly sad.
