Apparently you don't know much about the history of the region! These people have little in common with the Thai people historically, culturally, liguistically etc. The land was ceded to Thailand in 1902. They feel more ties with Malaysia but feel abandoned by them too.

Therefore your simplistic observations that boil down to nothing but an anti-muslim rant just don't make sense!

There is no easy solution to this issue which makes me sad!

The other thing that is bothering me is that the few folks that are doing this are getting more organized and ramping things up pretty quickly

HAH! One must strive a bit harder to avoid becoming a pedantic twit - don't allow your "history of the region" to cloud your vision to the cold, hard facts of the issue at hand. It is the chronically submissive adherents of the islamic faith standing gutlessly by as its present day radical "leaders" twist koranic verses to further their anti-"infidel" objectives around the world that one will consistently find at the root of such episodes.

These representatives of islam use the highest of callings - "martyrdom" (plus an incentives package that incs. a platoon of virgins) - to dupe an infinite resource of mindless drones into carrying out the lowliest of crimes. When one speaks of religiously-sanctioned wholesale murder of innocents, the mute adherents of islam and their witless "martyrs" have no rivals in this day and age.

Dear 'lingling' and bob,

Many thanks.

Dear 'Udon' and 'Marshbags',

Your thoughts and comments are greatly appreciated.

"We are the parent of Ryan Chicovsky, missing from his guesthouse in Xieng Kok on March 13. We are still in Laos, searching. We are looking for the following travelers who stayed in the same guesthouse (Manychan) in Luam nam tha, Laos, March 6. They might be able to help us. They are: Stuart Fraser, Mike Walker, Peter Myers, all from the UK; Emma Lunell, Sweden; and Julie Yenshin and Yufa Miznno, both of Japan. Please reply to this posting if you can help us. Thank you, Ryan's parents" ANY information on possible where abouts is welcome. Photo of Ryan may be seen on the US Embassy in Laos' site (cut&paste in browser):

Thank you

after reading her message in 'piercing down there', I think I may want Uma...

HAH!!! skip all the gushy crap - Usher put it as succinctly as anyone could in his tune, what men want is "A LADY IN THE STREET AND A FREAK IN THE BED" - period (of course if she has some wit to go along with this it will help ensure that the "want" endures...).

Yeah... as in Nordic Man's case as well - you first want to see the test results with your own eyes to confirm she's not making it up (it happened to me but she couldn't produce the proof and ultimately admitted she made it up) and, if she really is pregnant, MAKE SURE TO GET ITS PATERNITY CONFIRMED. This too is not an uncommon problem over here with some of those with psycho tendencies... If she is really on the way with his kid, give him only long-distance support as a third party hanging around at this point in the affair will help no one - it's THEIR deal to work out.

I think the death sentence should be given to simpering wanks who make wreckless claims in order to strengthen a weak argument. The statement that "DNA sampling proves that 30% of all death sentences are carried out on the wrong man" is downright moronic. Check your facts Gomer.
