Nemesis

There sure ain't many clued up officers.

Shame on you Dr. Ping Pong. Just one anti-Thai sentiment after the other lately.

Fearless Leader isn't much of a listener.

My, my, twice within the same thread.

Fearless Leader will just run a National Lottery to get it out of trouble.

Now, now Dr. Ping Pong, let's not have any anti-Thai sentiment. Particularly against the Fearless Leader. You've been warned.

That might cure him for all time

Now, now Dr. Ping Pong, let's not have any "anti-Christian" sentiment, even if Mormons aren't Christians. You've been warned.

"Christian priests are well known for underage sex" kwiz117

False, Catholic priests are and, like Mormonism, Catholicism is not Christianity.

And, in my opinion, anyone who doesn't see that helmets save lives, must be a complete fool.

Wearing a helmet restricts a drivers vision / hearing etc. Don't think so, try wearing a helmet while playing basketball.

This restriction, some believe causes more accidents. Deaths on a motorcycle aren't caused by not wearing a helmet, they are caused by having an accident at usually high speeds with high blood level acohol.

Given a choice, I wear a helmet on the highway at higher speeds, no helmet in town at lower speeds. And absolutely no alcohol. Not a drop.

Bottom line main factor, the governemt has no right to tell me to wear a helmet.

Even many of the Thai cops don't wear helmets, and they are the government. lol

The helmet n- helmet law debate is as old as my manhood is long.

"VI. Conclusions and Policy Implications

From our empirical results we conclude that helmet use has no statistically significant effect on the probability of a motorcycle fatality and that helmet users face a tradeoff between reductions in the severity of head injuries and increases in the severity of neck injuries. It is also shown that all possible combinations of the intensity of this tradeoff are equally likely to occur. In addition, it is found that the major determinants of injury and death are speed and blood alcohol level."

Goldstein Empirical Study Re: Helmet use

Then there is the issue of whether the government has the right / obligation to force me to wear a helmet, when doing so may cause severe neck injuries resulting from an accident from which I would rather be dead.

Secondly, if the gov can mandate helmet laws for my safety, then why not prevent me from eating junk food, which is sure to raise my cholesterol level also a health issu.

Isn't Thailan now preventing smoking in the home?

What next? Checking my fridge for Twinkies?

Lights on by default good idea at least for motorcycles, better than the helmet law which doesn't help in preventing accidents one iota: in fact, US tests have shown wearing a helmet may in fact increase the chance of an accident.

That is why many US states have rescinded the mandatory helmet law.

Now now boys, let's not have any more of this "anti-Thai sentiment." There are no courrupt Thai officials. At least we are not supposed to talk about that here.

I wonder why this guy Nemisis don't just go home.

Funny how almost the entire thread, starting with the topic itself, is filled with 'anti-Thai' sentiment, but I am the only one who gets called on it. lol

Why don't I 'go home?" Because my goverment is just as bad as at telling other countries and people how to do it, not just at home, but all over the world.

The guy who is the major advocate of this theory, is also the lawyer for the families of 9/11 in a class action suit.

Your 'devil's advocate' post is fill w / erroneous statements. I'll comment on just one.

There is more than one 'main advocate" of the idea that Al Qaeda was not behind the WTC / Pentagon attacks. The families and the attorney you mention are only one of many people who question the official story.

Have you taken a good long hard look at Serendipity?

If not, me thinks you should w / hold comment because you don't have a clue.

I continue to find it amazing that so many have been fooled for so long.

OMT: Doesn't it suggest something to you that such a large number of those closest to "Ground Zero" think something is amiss? Over 66% of those surveyed in NY want a new private investigation to answer the 400 questions submitted by victims families to the official 9/11 Commission that were not answered.

If a foreign entity was responsible for 911, why didn't the Commission answer the questions given to it by those who suffered the most fromt attack - those who lost family members?

Typical Thai way - tell everyone else how to respect the Thai way but never listen to anyone else's advice on how to do anything, and yet copy intellectual property copyrighted material.

Maybe Thaksin can tell us in that booklet how he ripped off that satelite and communciation equip???

he literally tells them to go and kill and they will be rewarded with the siezed assets for doing so.

Not much different than the US. Anybody messes with the CIA's drug running gets offed. As far as assest forfeiture, do a Google for Auctions Asset Fortfeiture and the same thing is going on in the US, big time.

Thai government, US government War on Drugs, War on Crime, same thing, keeps the control of the dirty things in the hands of politicians, same same.

low class people all over the world litter. Thais are no different.

Some languages express certain or particular thoughts better than others - using perhaps one word where another language may take multiple words, e.g. stehpenkein in German means 'piss while standing.'

Which German men are being shamed into not doing by being labeled by women as stizpinklers 'wimps' if they do.

Is it right to say that a person who only knows one language (or languages of only one group) limits his own capacity to think and express him/her self?

Not necessarliy. Thinking in English is more productive say, than thinking in Thai, because there exists more vocabulary to express your thoughts to others. There are hundreds of thousands of English words, and new words created daily to explain new concepts. That isn't true of other languages, because the new concepts are mostly being developed by English speakers native or otherwise or at least best explained by English, say computer technoolgy or medical / bio chemistry etc.

Have you noticed how Thais will often use English words to explain a concept / idea because there is no equivalent Thai word?

I lived w / friends in a apartment house in BKK. The trash was picked up virtually everyday. The cost per month for 12 people's trash? 100 baht.

The Thai muncipal government body is not even charging enough to cover the cost of trash pick-up never mind future dump sites, recycling costs, etc. It was explained to me that if they charge too much, the people will dump the trash on vacant lots all over BKK.

Thai planning - oxymoron

Cathlocism is indeed a religion, where as Christianity isn't.

best christian fellowship I know of in BKK is at the end of Soi ? Near the Emporium. Espcecially if that fellow from the States (indiana ? ) came out.

Anyone who can debate well, whether they agree or not.

Pretty scarce around here.

Poor designs? That's bullshit. Those engineers you cite were trying to explain why the buildings collapsed before the info about US government involvement was widespread.

Secondly, why did the WTC 7 Bldg collapse?

Answer the question. You're bored with one of the most important events in recent world history that was the start of a 'war that will not end in our lifetimes?"

Go watch TV. May I suggest FoxNews. Its for the dull witted types that are easily bored with facts.

Waleed Alshehri (Flight 11) (Trained Pilot)

A sixth person on the FBI's list, Saudi national Waleed Alshehri, is living in Casablanca, according to an official with the Royal Air Moroc, the Moroccan commercial airline. According to the unnamed official, Alshehri lived in Dayton Beach, Fla., where he took flight training at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Now he works for a Moroccan airline. On Sept. 22, Associated Press reported that Alshehri had spoken to the U.S. embassy in Morocco.

"His photograph was released by the FBI, and has been shown in newspapers and on television around the world. That same Mr Al-Shehri has turned up in Morocco, proving clearly that he was not a member of the suicide attack. " - Daily Trust 24th September 2001

Something wrong with the URL links tonight.

Mike Ruppert has publically accused Cheney of being the mastermind behind the entire plot. Cheney, as you recall, was secretary of the misnamed Dept. of Defense during the Gulf War and ran the war from the Pentagon.

More and more individuals are looking at the facts and highlighting exercise drills that took place on the morning of 9/11.

It is clear that at least five if not six training exercises were in operation in the days leading up to and on the morning of 9/11. This meant that NORAD radar screens showed as many as 22 hijacked airliners at the same time. NORAD had been briefed that this was part of the exercise drill and therefore normal reactive procedure was forestalled and delayed.

The large numbers of 'blips' on NORAD screens that displayed both real and 'drill' hijacked planes explain why confused press reports emerged hours after the attack stating that up to eight planes had been hijacked. Click here for that article.

The drill scenario also explains a comment made by air traffic control personnel which was featured in a July 2004 BBC television report. Click here for that video clip and article. The controller is told that a hijacked airliner is heading for New York and responds by saying, "is this real world or an exercise?"

Alex Jones was one of the first to highlight the wargames in his documentary film 'Masters of Terror', which was released in August 2002. Click here to watch a video clip. Alex explains why the Associated Press later had to admit the fact that the CIA were running drills of crashing planes into buildings on the morning of 9/11.

What were the drills called and what was their nature?

1) OPERATION NORTHERN VIGILANCE: This was planned months in advance of 9/11 and ensured that on the morning of 9/11, jet fighters were removed from patrolling the US east coast and sent to Alaska and Canada, therefore reducing the amount of fighter planes available to protect the east coast.

2) BIOWARFARE EXERCISE TRIPOD II: Alex Jones first reported on this back in May when Rudolph Giuliani let the details of it slip in his testimony to the 9/11 Commission. FEMA arrived in New York on September 10th to set up a command post located at Pier 29 under the auspices of a 'biowarfare exercise scheduled for September 12. This explains why Tom Kenney of FEMA's National Urban Search and Rescue Team, told Dan Rather of CBS News that FEMA had arrived in New York on the night of September 10th. This was originally dismissed as a slip of the tongue. Giuliani was to use this post as a command post on 9/11 after he evacuated WTC Building 7. As we reported back in January, Giuliani knew when to leave WTC 7 because he got advanced warning that the Trade Towers were about to collapse. "We were operating out of there when we were told that the World Trade Center was gonna collapse," Rudolph Giuliani told Peter Jennings of ABC News. How did Giuliani know the towers were about to collapse when no steel building in history had previously collapsed from fire damage?

3) OPERATION VIGILANT GUARDIAN: This exercise simulated hijacked planes in the north eastern sector and started to coincide with 9/11. Lt. Col. Dawne Deskins, NORAD unit's airborne control and warning officer, was overseeing the exercise. At 8:40am she took a call from Boston Center which said it had a hijacked airliner. Her first words, as quoted by Newhouse News Service were, "It must be part of the exercise." This is another example of how the numerous drills on the morning of 9/11 deliberately distracted NORAD so that the real hijacked planes couldn't be intercepted in time.

4) OPERATION NORTHERN GUARDIAN: The details of this exercise are still scant but it is considered to be part of Vigilant Guardian, relating to simulating hijacked planes in the north eastern sector.

5) OPERATION VIGILANT WARRIOR: This was referenced in Richard Clarke's book 'Against All Enemies'. It is thought to have been the 'attack' component of the Vigilant Guardian exercise.

You won't find the above in the mainstream media.

But you can here: 9/11 Stuff and War Games

while trying to show the influence the saudis have in the usa and how many of the terrorists were saudis,

How do we 'know' the 'hijackers' were Saudies? Because my government tells me so? Boyare you dumb.

The fact of the matter is eight of the alleged suicide 'hijackers' are reportedly still alive and well.

How much do you know about air traffic? How much do you know about architecture?

I just happen to be a licensed pilot and I know that whenever a pilot in a Metro area strays off his assigned course even a few degrees that ATC is all over him. There is a standard policy in the States to send up an intercepter plane for any commercial airliner that is off course. This was done several times in the time period leading up to 9/11. Furthermore, there were no successful hijakcers in the US for almost 10 years prior to 9/11. But four on one day and not one was intercepted? All of these in the most protected airspace in the world. Give me a break.

Did you know we have discovered that the Pentagon was conducting war games on the morning of September 11? No, you don't do you? There were up to 22 different bogus blips on the radar screens all over the Northeast that morning and the ATC NORAD people thought it was a "game."

I am also a licensed building contractor, But that has f*ckall to do with the fact that the fires never got hot enough to melt steel. Why do you think oxy/actylene torches are used to cut through steel? And arc welders are need to weld steel together? Because it takes extreme temps to melt steel.

Furthermore, no steel / concrete building has ever fallen due to a fire. And yet we had three code built structures downed in a single day. One of the Bldgs, WTC 7 wasn't even hit by a plane full of fuel and yet it collapsed. Why?

There were 400 questions given to the Bogus 9/11 Commission that were not answered. Why? The families of the victimes want answers to those questions and 66% of New Yorkers want a private independent investigation into 9/11.

You don't know what your are talking about.

These are conspiracy theorists who don't even get main stream news attention.

There is where you make your mistake. You think mainstream media is more credible than Internet sources. They ain't.
