A number of "flame" posts removed.

Seriously, the post from that user needed criticizing. The posts you removed were not abusive, merely derisive and indicative of most reader's low opinion of the poster.

At least you edited (removed) the inflammatory content from mobilecontent's post but the level of censorship on this forum is getting ridiculous.

One step further and you'll be invoking your own lesse-TVF laws.

It's a public forum. We already have to suffer from repressive censorship in Thailand's press, why so draconian in a predominantly ex-pat forum?

If my comments were so outrageous (no swearing, nothing you wouldn't hear in a preschool playground) how come I git three likes for them in such a short space of time?

I think some of you moderators are getting carried away with the sense of power you feel when your fingers hover over the big red censor button!

Maybe a slightly lighter touch?

Remove this post and you may as well remove my account.

Post deleted when I realised I just didn't care.

So, you're not really looking for a partner nor investor, just an interest free, zero risk loan for three months?

What if your costs rise unexpectedly? What is the anticipated return? Is there an absolute guarantee of return?

Having imported 20ft containers of whiskey into Africa on one or more occasions, it is not that costly. Why not go to your local bank for some trade finance?

From the way you have approached this, if it is a measure of your business acumen, I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

Hi,

I have the same issue. I am based in the Pak Kret area and find it very hard to find playing partners for the local courses.

If you find a society, or fancy a game, drop me a line.

I'm beginning to suspect that all is not well inside the German airline industry. First, you have a group of Germanwings pilots refuse to fly their planes after this crash. Adolf Galland, they're not. And, now, the keys to a plane with 149 people on it being given over to a 28 year old just two years out of the company flight school. Soft, soft, soft. Not exactly the same sort of stuff that went into Ernst Udet, who had the decency to do himself in while alone. These Germans seem emotionally fragile, sloppy, and downright weak.

Hold it. Young co-pilots fresh out of training man (or wo-man) controls everywhere in the world. How do you think they earn their experience? Simulator? But no, they are not always up to their sort of image. I always mistrust sort of images and people and organisations who appear too perfect. I d gladly fly anytime with one of those half-drunk Ukrainians who fly the UN planes in Congo. They d never do such a thing.

I'm assuming you're referring to the same half drunk Ukrainians who, drunk, failed to climb from the domestic airport in Kinshasa and ploughed through the market at the end of the runway killing scores of women and children?

The crew then exited the plane, went back to base and continued drinking, I heard.

Well, his name looks classically German, so ethnicity is likely not an 'issue'. But what are you saying? That airlines should discriminate against people of certain ethnicities or faiths in their hiring??

In a word, yes.

Why hire for such important positions from a group of people feared for fanatical behavior and murderous, inhuman intent.

Would a colonial British family in India have hired a Thugee houseboy, in order to be politically correct?

Maybe some positive discrimination against Muslims will prompt the moderates to get their house in order.

He's not an academic, business person or long term politician. But a very senior military officer. His world view will be shaped by his own experiences, information acquired, training, life style norms and his capability to transform information into knowledge through action.

BB, I'm no politician, nor a particularly astute observer of the Thai "body politic", but shouldn't that read "transform information into ACTION through knowledge" (or is your little Freudian slip an unconscious acknowledgement of the chap's overwhelming dependency on his military experience?

I would guess he already took his kids to Disneyland so he has no reason to go to the USA anyway now

Methinks that Disneyland is where he got his inspiration for his master plan?

It's all fantasy and (not so) special effects, after all........

He is better off going to China and Japan as they like the way he took over the government. Maybe the government should restrain it's self from bad mouthing the USA. There is such a thing as restricting trade which could hurt a lot.

I'm sure North Korea will take him and complete the lookalike course.

The dude is bored in his retirement. Laughing at him will only encourage him

Let's go easy on him! He is just a sad, pathetic little man trying to find justification for his existence in that den of iniquity.

You have to be a particularly insecure and desperate individual to, let's face it, subordinate yourself to our much admired Royal Thai Police, right?!! In the UK he'd be tested and possibly sectioned.

There is a term for what he is doing, or what he has become.......what was it?.......hasn't been used for 70-odd years......... Oh Yes!!!!

QUIZLING!!!

Call me a skeptic, but I wonder if the Police would have been quite so proactive had there only been 200 Baht in the machine?
