From the link I published earlier: "A staff member accompanied her to an ATM, but once they arrived, she said she didn't bring her ATM card.' Staff accompanied the woman to her hotel to retrieve her card, but when she tried to withdraw money, there was only 100 baht in her account. She allegedly claimed 'the stock market had crashed' and continued to offer various excuses before being dragged back to the bar to explain herself."

You got one thing right. I attended twice, then told my mother I wasn't going again, it was rubbish, Later the same priest started bible classes at my primary school telling the same old stories about slingshots and jawbones of asses. I again pulled out and was forced to always spend that period sitting quietly on a bench. I assessed and rejected your gods and the idiotic stories before I reached double figures in age.

I rest my case.

Congratulations little Monte, you'll soon move up to the next level in Sunday School.

They really don't know how to react in the real world. They were brain washed from a very early age to believe in the absolute truth of their parents version of religion and learn to hate anyone who thinks differently. Basically anyone capable of independent thought and logic. There is no hope of redemption, they are too far down the path of complete loyalty to the sect. They really believe wearing flags, slogans and baseball caps is stylish and not the ludicrous costumes that amuse the world and indicate their tiny IQs

When unable to counter logic, truth or understand sarcasm, they revert to childish taunts and invented insulting words.

The guy apparently assaulted someone and hoped to get out of the country before facing the consequences. It seems the police had his name in the alert system which was triggered when he went through outwards immigration. He was then arrested in the departure lounge and transferred back to the Province where the offence was comitted. Not unusual circumstances in most countries. The use of half a dozen officers and the term "sting" is part of local culture. His immigration status will not affect the charges and possible punishment apart from enforced departure on conclusion.. This is not Gulag America.

Have to be unlucky. On monday I was sitting outside on the veranda watching the rain when lightning struck the road about 20- 30 meters away. The noise and shock was massive and my body was tingling and shaking for some seconds afterwards. We had a violent storm the day before which damaged buildings, flattened crops, brought down trees and snapped off 2 concrete electricity poles near our property. Loei Province.

It's hard to keep up, there's a backlog of incidents that need highlighting.

One of the consequences of a country invading,conquering and plundering other weaker nations in the past is the intergration of those peoples into their citizenry in modern times, There's something like 5m French citizens and residents with origins in North Africa. Not all from the colonies are beautiful maidens from Reunion Island.
