I agree, a very emotional folk, easy to offend. The Thai Buddhism is overlaid with animism, myth and ceremony.

It just seemed ironic that he flew all the way to Thailand to get stabbed when the experience could have been had at home

Short term satisfaction followed by long term damage. As an adult one should be able to practice detachment which is also a Buddhist doctrine to remove all attachments and desires, without desires there is no sorrow just the acceptance of what is.

Every year the same, usually ending in death.

They also have a league table, probably with bets.

I have two dogs that are territorial as well but unlike these youths they have brains enough not to get violent.

Normally Brits get stabbed in the UK, not abroad on holiday. One can assume he didn't get up early to see the sunrise, more likely he had a skinful and tried his verbal skills on a bunch of belligerent Thais, it wasn't a good idea but he knows that now.

How do I get rid of the Thaiger news advert in the top right hand corner of my screen, it's most annoying, there is no way of getting rid of it unlike the other annoying adverts

He was Welsh.

Just a lot of b0ll0cks

How brave of them......but of course who ever made this decision wont be in the submarine.

That is a very woke comment.....now go and smash your keyboard.

Empathy, it's my biggest fault.

Or give him a good hot shower.

'Confronted him in his sleep', couldn't have been much of an argument.

Not exactly Sheer Kahn is it.

Where's Balu the bear when you need him

They should have turned her into a heroin addict and then set her free, karma.

I don't have an illness, who was your post referring to?

You definitely need internet.

Knife and gunshot wounds, more than one assailant then, somebody really wanted him dead.

Well I shall be 76 this year.....how old do I really expect to be? Life is impermanence. My father had prostate cancer but died of a heart attack at 83, my mother had breast cancer but died in a car accident at 89, you dip in the box and pull out a number.

A very unfortunate case, all militaries will face the same problem, nobody wants their dirty washing under public gaze. The damage by the soldiers has been done, possibly in the heat of battle and no punishment is going to stop it in the future. David meant well but he was foolish, the establishment doesn't like being embarrassed, waving the white flag of ignorance was more appropriate in this case. Life isn't fair and atrocities in a war zone happen, I know nothing about this case so I will assume the cases happened in a stressful environment, we don't always have ourselves under control, who will judge?

Considering the amount of rubbish spoken these days it could be considered an advantage.....but I jest, obviously an ears nose and throat doctor should be your first port of call.

perhaps when sober, regret will sink in, "Oh what a rogue and peasant slave am I...."
