There was a clinical study done in London in a carefully controlled environment for people suffering from depression, it helped some long term and many short term. In Israel it was used for terminally ill patients who had extreme death anxiety it was found to help all of those in the test. I have never used it myself due to lack of opportunity. Interestingly it seems that LSD, magic mushrooms, etc don't enhance brain activity, they reduce it to the extent that all filters are removed so that one sees 'reality' for what it is, just a manifestation of consciousness. The cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman has, after using mathematics in the evolutionary game theory and computer modelling, hypothesized that perceived reality isn't the truth, it is consciousness and agents of consciousness manifesting a 'reality' that ensures our survival, a survival of conscious agents, which only perceive that which is necessary, everything else is filtered out.

I don't think the Western style of economics can be held up as a shining example either though, unsustainable national debt and kicking the can down the road until the currency is debased is leading us to frightening pastures. Thailand won't be spared recession, it's in the same roller coaster going downhill and is reliant on countries who are already in recession, it will come here just a little later.

Arrogant, entitled, bad tempered with a short fuse, so yes a short stay in the monkey house before being deported would be an appropriate punishment, assault, especially committed against a woman, is a serious crime.

Cum convicts stick together.

Do Swiss men have a problem with anger management? One would have thought the news concerning his compatriot recently would act as an alarm bell, only kick Thai women in the dark, void of witnesses and tell them you're British.

Probably long gone.

The fish got its revenge.

That's the work of the devil.

I bet he has an Irish grandmother.

God gave us air-con.

Oh what a tangled web we weave.........

From an acorn grows a mighty oak tree. He is a very unpopular man.

Every house, boat, car and jacket seems to have one, they get nervous if they can't see the star spangled banner.

Just a cock and ball story

I agree, they've certainly got a lot of balls.

A major hissy fit, all that hidden testosterone want's to get out and express itself after years of suppression.

Yes Mr. Spock it's blotting paper but it's not blotting paper as we knew it at school.

He made the mistake of using a zebra crossing, it acts like a magnet for some drivers and you are easily seen. I've even seen police cars weaving around people crossing, nobody stops.

What about the mind harm?

Scientists examine cause and effect, nobody wants to listen to them if it affects profits, the technocrats can offer solutions as long as it doesn't mean a big cut in greenhouse gasses. It's an unfortunate situation, our civilization is built around fossile fuels, it just isn't possible to suddenly make rapid reductions and yet by waiting the solution (and damage) will become ever more expensive with the possibility of there being no solution. Expect more, millions more, climate refugees to Northern regions. Alaska and Siberia have a brilliant future in front of them, Asia and Africa not so much.

Probably something like, "two new 'warm brothers' (German saying for gay) for the workers" but that was the way our office was. Other departments were more correct and boring. I needed information once from the engine designers, I walked into their office with my company pass attached to my jacket with a paper clip because the official plastic clip had broken. The young man I spoke to was horrified, he kept telling me to get the correct clip, he barely listened to my questions, his eyes kept resting on the paper clip. When I got back to the sanity of my department I was delighted to hear an engineer ask another engineer (both in their 60's) from across the room, 'What's your password Walter" (he was working on the other guy's computer) "Oh, errrm, I can't say that out loud, I'll come over to you".

What about carpet munchers? Probably not eh, one would have to say "she isn't like other girls". You can't say a woman is fat any more in Germany, she is 'voll schlank' or 'full slim' what a lot of rubbish.

She should have kept quiet and hired a Thai thug to give fatty a good kicking.

No, she knew the easy going pi$$ taking atmosphere in our office, she just didn't fit in and she was a bit of a snitch anyway, once a rep came into our office and asked me where our boss was, I told him he was with a group drinking coffee in the kitchen, he asked me what he looked like, "Hmmm, have you watched the muppets at all"? "Yes" "Well he looks a lot like miss Piggy", she overheard that and couldn't wait to tell him.

Ricky Gervais, my hero.
