Are Collingwood supporters allowed? I should be back in time for the season.

One of our regulars here called chooka, just loves Collngwood supporters.

I'm sure he'll be along soon to welcome you.

Actually I am a Dogs Supporter.

The Thai government tells the world that the US does not understand Thailand and the Thai people, but when they go out to meet a range of people who are not just government spokespersons the government gets all upset.

Thainess at it's best.

Now just guess what would happen if we sent envoys all over the US to meet with all the opposition.

The opposition in Australia speaks to who ever they want and there aren't any restrictions on what they can and can't say or do.

To be truthful the very act of meeting with the Red Shirt leadership smacks of American subterfuge in another sovereign states affairs, the American involvement in installing their brand of ''democracy'' around the world has been somewhat spectacular in its results with enormous death tolls immense collateral damage and an upsurge in terrorism in general.

The C.I.A. track record over the years exposes the fact that the powers that be in that organisation are intent on destroying any country or anyone who disagrees with their aims.

The involvement of the C.I.A.In the Indo China region alone since the 1950's has indeed been a disaster for those nations that the C.I.A leprous hands touched.Let alone the rest of the world

Perhaps if those Americans intent on bringing ''democracy'' as they view it to other sovereign states actually looked inward at their own nation they may well find that their own house is in need of massive repairs before starting on other sovereign states issues.

Beware the industrial military complex

Well, their brand of Democracy?

Mubarak

Saddam

Pinochet

Pol Pot

Saudi Arabia

They only insist on Democracy if they don't like the current government. If the current government is fully supporting them they don't care about democracy.

You make a valid point , however which do you prefer as a friend , totalitarian Communist China or the US, your call, it's a free world even though if you are in Thailand if you have to weigh up where the free part actually start. have a good week..

Australia has both as friends. They rely on the U.S as allies and China is there biggest trading partner. They rode out the last economic crisis on the back of China and mining.
