Just sad to see the Dems puerile behaviour, but disgraceful when they didn't give some recognition to the young lad who had suffered from brain cancer.
Anyone who has lived in what used to be called a third world country would not apply that description to Thailand. A developing country would be more appropriate.
Assaults on staff occurred regularly at a hospital I used to attend in Surrey in the UK. Why such violence takes place in hospitals is a mystery to me, given that the attackers are abusing staff who are there to help them at a time of need.
I merely questioned your use of the word penalty in your original post. 'Crime' or 'offence' would seem to have been more accurate in the context which you were referencing. Small issue.
Astonishing that the Dems opposed this. What on earth were they thinking ? Men competing in womens' sporting events is not only unfair, but also can be very dangerous. Shame on all those who rejected this bill.
Thais, be they drivers or pedestrians, tend to be thinking about things other than what they are doing i.e. not concentrating. Having said that I was not exactly impressed by the road manners in the UK the last time I was there.
