For crying out loud, what the hell is so wrong with a little dark humor ? Remember Rule #62. Don't take yourself so damned seriously.

Yes we should all be cheerful and make jokes about someone who just got murdered.

Well, don't know if eating shark fin soup merits a death, but the sharks died for his dinner. Karma is hell!

What a nasty thing to say.

I guess we're all vegetarians here aren't we? If not, we deserve a bullet to the head?

Point taken, but he makes his protest,and in the case of sharks, their fins are hacked off while they are alive and the bodies thrown back into the ocean.

Animals for human consumption OTOH are normally humanely killed (except halal) and their suffering is limited in most cases.

Shark finning is an abomination and enormous waste.

Ridiculous.

Feel bad for the shark but saying it's 'karma' the fella got shot dead is plain idiotic.

"The driver, Udon Buarapha, 27, was arrested and charged with driving under the influence after tests revealed that his blood alcohol content was above the legal limit."

Interesting they managed to arrest and breathalise him but allowed Anna Reese to say she was not ready for arrest and go home.

Of course she was driving a Mercedes while he was riding a cheap motorbike.

Where have you been?

Over here, nobodies go to jail. Somebodies can get away with anything.

If you drive a nice car, the police have to think twice before stopping your vehicle, let alone booking it.

Kill someone if you're a somebody? "Talk to my lawyer before you arrest me. I need my beauty sleep."

Every 4th of July, I always play this on loop!

Idiot Obama and his yes men. Of course the Iranians are going to screw you guys in this treaty. But Obama is so desperate to sign it, he'll probably agree to anything. Foolio.

Allah akbar!

The religion of peace.

Good for her! and this does seem like a very clear cut case of self defense so no prosecution should be brought.

While I'm happy she survived defending herself. 'Good for her' isn't something that should be used to describe the situation. She did after all have to kill her own son. I'm sure she's gonna feel like crap for the rest of her life.

Cheaper hardly fits with the "Quality" aspirations. London won best City in the World for A Holiday

Yes the topic did say cheapest city, not best City in the World for A Holiday.

Policemen beating up a nobody. There'll definitely be 'justice' for the victim! Pfft.

THREE year olds? What a piece of turd!!

China only!!!

If some militant group were to launch missiles into San Diego from Tijuana on a daily basis, damage or no damage, casualties or not, even the most liberal idiots would be crying for Obama to send in the marines. But we have hypocrites who hate Jews who laungh when this happens to Israel.

Yes! Every country should do this. These people aren't real citizens. They crap on their country of citizenship while killing their citizens all the while using the same laws they spit on to protect themselves.

No one likes a coup but since it happened, we've had a year of relative peace.

No 'peaceful' protests or violence from supporters from either side of the political spectrum.

Nuff said.

They came to Bangkok for a fight. Their masters urged them to bring bottles of gasoline to burn the place down. They were given ample warning to leave the area before the crackdown. And now they're blaming the army when they started the fight.

Like there aren't enough people from China (not Chinese people as a race!) going overseas and pissing people off. Now they get to have two children...

Unfortunately, this is the 21st century and the modern 7-11s, Family Marts and supermarkets will always beat the ugly mom and pop stores. It's business.

While I personally would prefer to support small businesses, let's be frank, would you buy from these small and unclean non air conditioned provision shops or would you prefer the nice, bright and cool 7-11s?

Yes, I would. I don't like CP products..t think they are rubbish and avoid them as much as possible

Good for you. You can support the small businesses. They need people like you.

No danger of the army or police raiding a TV station in the US - we have our freedom of speech. There are media who hate Obama, and others who praise him, yet both can co-exist

Hence I'm confused why some TVF posters applaud this action here. Perhaps they have gone native (Bangkok style) and forgotten their civics training.

Don't compare the 'freedoms' in the United States to what's happening here.

When was the last time you had bombs exploding and armed rebels(oh sorry, peaceful protestors. Hah!) trying to overthrow the government? This with the aid of 'neutral' 'Peace' TV stations egging on the crowd? Or idiots going on stage calling for the burning of Bangkok and cheering when bombs blow up kids?

Things have been pretty peaceful since the Army took over. That's good enough for most people.

When was the last time you had bombs exploding in areas excluding the South and Bangkok during political protests?

Bombs exploding? A hand grenade or an M79 wouldn't be classed as bombs either, so when is the last time bomb(IEDs) like Syria and Iraq see day in and day out have exploded all over the country?

Things have been pretty peaceful ......unless you lived in the South.

Things have been pretty peaceful for many places all over Thailand even during the 2014 protests.

Sensationalism much? ?

I'm sorry we're not all ex or claim to be ex military 'experts' who know the difference between a 'bomb', an 'IED' or a grenade. All I know is stuff blew up prior to the Army taking over and people died. Anyone blown up and die since they took over? To make it clear, I meant anywhere else but the South. Since when has it been peaceful there whoever is in charge?

It's not sensationalism, unless the violence that took place before the coup was nothing to you? I mean I can understand that sort of skirmish would be nothing if you served in Iraq or Afghanistan. But most of us here lead a relatively peaceful and sheltered life.

Sorry but these militants are animals who are doing the bidding of their beloved Allah. And killing infidels in the name of Allah is doing his work. Hell, killing other Muslims is doing Allah's work also according to these scum.

Allah Akbar!

So freaking stupid. It's not as if people are blind and can't see the present pictures. Making the pictures bigger isn't going to change a thing. Smokers are still gonna smoke.

It's a good start. While many take bribes because they're greedy, a lot do it because they don't make enough to survive. Hopefully this is a first step to killing corruption in the BIBs.

I guess the chance that it will snow in Pattaya is bigger than that corruption will stop.

It'll take years before corruption will stop here but it's a step in the right direction.
