Give the kid a slap in front of his mates and I can almost guarantee he WILL bring a gun into school and shoot you.

You're partially right about what is causing the wave of youth stabbings. You think it's because parents don't batter their kids anymore. It's not. It's for 2 reasons. It's because parents batter their kids for the most trivial of reasons to the point that it becomes abusive as that's the only way they know how to 'control' children and those kids grow up seeing violence as being acceptable. It's also, and you're right about this, a lack of discipline. Parents are too absorbed in their own lives, smartphones, social media, reality TV, drunk, drugged up and focused on their latest boyfriend/girlfriend to give their kids any real positive love and attention, to have conversations with them about morals and what's right and what's wrong. I spent 7 years working in a school in Leeds where I would see kids getting battered and being called an 'effing muppet' at the school gates every afternoon for having dirty clothes, cos it meant that mum had to wash them. Or kids whose parents were never involved, allowing them to do what they want, when they want including kids swearing at parents without any consequence because 'it's too much hard work to discipline them and it's the school's job to do that'. As I said before, it's lazy parenting. These kids had absolutely no chance in life except to get away from those families as soon as possible, which some of them have been able to do and are living happy, successful lives. Many others though are in prison.

My kids are 12 and 8 yrs old. So not in prison for GBH and it's highly doubtful they ever will be. They're really nice kids and definitely not spoilt. But yeah, at times, they can be little <deleted>s annoying the hell out of each other. However, they are able to accept when I say no which is actually very often and they get plenty of discipline. Just not beatings. That is lazy parenting from people who are not educated enough to have the skill set to find other ways of controlling kids. It's also abuse. You wouldn't hit your adult child for doing the wrong thing. So why would you think it's acceptable to hit a child? THAT'S JUST SICK! You might not realise this, but there are many other ways to discipline a child without having to resort to violence and smacking. I was able to teach my children from a very young age that when I say there will be a consequence, I mean it. E.g When my boy was about 4 or 5, we were going to Lumphini park, him on his scooter and me walking. I told him to stop when he gets to roads/sois. We came to 1 soi and he didn't so I gave him a warning that if he does it again, we would not go to the park and he'd have to walk all the way back home. Came to another soi and he didn't stop. So I stayed true to my word and we went back home. I explained why he got the consequence and didn't give in to his tears. He never did it again and from then on he knew that if I say there will be a consequence, then there will be. A cruel person such as my mum of old and yourself would have given him a smack and then when he cried, told him that he'd be given something to really cry about when we got home. Again, that would be lazy parenting. And yes, for a grown adult (and a man at that) to whack a child IS disgusting.

My mum used to beat me for the most trivial of things e.g falling in the river after building a rope swing across it and I still <deleted> hate her for it. Plus, it never stopped me from building swings every summer. All it did was teach me how NOT to raise children. I'm proud to say I've never hit my 2 children and I never will. Sure they can be a pain in the arse at times and get up to mischief but they're defenceless kids who need adults to model acceptable behaviour. NOT to teach them that it's ok to smack someone if you're angry with them.

Maybe it was an EV Masserati and the owner wanted to hear some roar.

I was diagnosed with stage 2 malignant melanoma in May, and with melanoma in situ in September. My 12 yr old son was also diagnosed with it on his ear at the same time as my second diagnosis. Send me a private message and we'll talk over line/whatsapp. I used Dr Punyaphat from Samitivej Sukhumvit. I highly recommend being insistent on having anything suspicious removed and biopsied.

The next time I visit the dentist, I want THAT anaesthetic.

The photos they use are always of extremely attractive women. I waste their time asking if they're single, if they want to date a good looking western guy, how big their tits are, would they like a 3-way with me and the gf, which hole is their favourite etc, etc, etc. They often get very irate that I'm not answering their questions.

Of course he needs his gun. It's his 2nd amendment right to protect himself from threats both domestic and foreign. Wothout he would feel insecure and vulnerable. Biggest threat to us in Thailand ATM is this new stupid tax law. Who knows, maybe he can do something about it with his 2nd amendment right to bear arms. Oh yeah we're in Thailand. Daft American laws don't apply here.

You can take the man out of Thailand...

"I will undoubtedly encounter challenges due to weather conditions, language barriers, different lifestyles and intensive training." Somebody obviously hasn't told her about the death traps. AKA roads. Good luck with that one, love.

When the last lunar eclipse was visible, I told my students about it, why and how it happens and that they should go outside and watch this celestial event. I even ran a little photography competition for the event. The next day, one of my boys told me that his parents didn't allow him to watch it because if he did, his eyes would bleed and he'd die. His parents have very good jobs and are well educated (the boy is at an international school in Bangkok).

Toothpaste would be more appropriate with all the bull <deleted> that comes out of their mouths.

I'd be much more impressed if he kept the PM salary and donated his other "salaries". You know... The ones that come in brown envelopes without a pay slip.

Shocking that she was abducted from school. Where were the teachers and assistants? Did they even notice her missing? I'm not surprised about him escaping custody. The RTP are a bunch of clueless buffoons.

And the cabinet minister, Chris Huhne and his wife. Both jailed because she took his speeding fine and licence points for him.

Your partner is 100 years old??? That's impressive.

It's not just 1 bed he's taking up. He has taken over the entire floor of the hospital VIP ward even though he's only using 1 room. Somebody somewhere is bwing paid a fair amount of cash in brown envelope for this to happen as those rooms are supposed to be for top brass police.

Article says 22m long sword. WTF. Even if it's a typo a 2.2m sword is massive. These kids should be punished severely.

If you're downloading movies, yts.mx is a much better site to use. Their catalogue of films is enormous.

Was the passenger a 'VIP' heading back 'home'?

This ????. Pure greed. 200mil would be enough to last your lifetime and have a fairly luxurious lifestyle. Just quit while you're ahead.

Only those that don't drive cars or ride motorcycles.

I drove on that road last week from Bangkok to Mae Sot and the surface is in very good condition. There are regular escape roads/hills. The lighting on the road is pretty bad though. It was a terrifying road to drive in the dark but most other vehicles were sensible in their driving.
