Maybe time to verify qualifications of teachers.

Might also pay to insist on qualified teachers only. Or is that too expensive?

NOT a teacher but a used to be teacher, just like he may at one time used to be a man and not an animal. Give him choices, deportation or castration.

The Mormons have it right. If there is dissension between the laws of the Church and the laws of the land, obey the laws of the land.

OMG, there is more bitching going on here than you will ever encounter in the gay world.

Love should be legal in any shape or form that does no harm to others. So, yes legalize gay Union.

I grew up in London during the war and attended a Jewish school. This man is truly a man among men. RIP Mr. Winton

So many teachers employed for price and not qualifications. There is your problem.

I believe everyone has the right to believe whatever makes them happy. I believe so.

Thais to exercise caution if going to Korea but no control over the 4000 Koreans that come to Thailand every day?? Am I missing something?

I hope a man's dying wishes will be respected and trust his followers love him enough not to ignore his request for a simple ceremony. RIP Reverend Master

Death sentence may be barbaric but even more so is the ten years of waiting, wondering, hoping, losing hope, and enduring life in a rotten jail. This is double punishment. May those who died and their families find peace.

How long before Australia opens their doors again to refugees via Indonesia?

Don't trust weather forecasts? I thought the philosophy in LOS is not to trust anyone or anything ( including other expats).

I deliberately make mistakes and encourage students to identify my errors, correct me and argue with me. It takes a long time to get them to this point. I have sometimes handed over the reins to a bright student to conduct a lesson. They are great and they get great responses.

.hands on learning was an 'invention' over 30 years ago.

I am 82 and still working, still go to gym 4/5 times a week, have a great life with a wonderful Thai partner, much younger than me. I do not even think of checking out before I am 98, same age that my grandparents and parents moved on.

It is not age but state of mind that determines your quality of life and def not money.

As long as the dick you like is attached to the man you love, what else matters?

One of my books on my world travels was unkindly referred to as "the search for the biggest dick". Just because I commented on the dicks in different countries. One of the smallest I saw was in Nigeria and the biggest I ever saw belonged to a Cihinese policeman. My Thai bf is definitely bigger than many others I have seen. Yes he is Isaac.

This is all poppy cock

And Thailand is now spending billions to support Halal butchery - I hope they just mean the food outlets.

There is no such thing as Thai Buddhism, it is Theravada Buddhism.

However if they are talking about the Dhammakaya then this is a branch movement in some ways similar to Mahayana it seems.

Personally I would suggest that the essence of the religion remains the same. It simply manifests itself as a reflection of the present culture and society. In effect the religion is showing us the state of culture and society as it stands. It is not the religion that needs changing is it?

Thailand Mormons?

Drinking water at temples - 10 baht , 20 baht for farang. Go figure!

This sect has money, money, money - nothing will happen to them.

My answer is so simple. I am a Brit Buddhist but I am simply very happy here

Having written books and articles for Shine Lawyers, I can tell you, Thailand will be no different to USA. Only when many people have died will they take the matter seriously. Problem with Thailand is they just believe dead is dead, why worry about the causes.

When an expert came to Bangkok to lecture on asbestos related diseases, builders and related workers argued that asbestos was cheap and that is the end of their argument. Sit back, enjoy life while you can and don't worry. Nothing's gonna change any time soon.
