  1. Saying that he was probably drunk is not a personal affront to his character. Intoxication is a leading cause of death from a variety of causes. That’s a fact. And it’s therefore not unreasonable to suspect intoxication as a possible factor. So nobody is “blaming foreigners”. And everybody knows that the infrastructure is 3rd world, nobody is discounting that. But everybody also knows that barriers are there for a reason, and nobody pushed him. Until a formal autopsy is performed no one will know for sure and people are entitled to speculate and they will do so.
  2. I’m all for death penalty to those who deserve it but There’s one good reason to stop it. There will inevitably be innocent people and the falsely accused put to death before they can prove their innocence. There have been dozens of people falsely accused, mostly black, executed in the US. Many others were exonerated just before their execution. In Southeast Asia, China, Russia, political prisoners are falsely accused and some executed.
  3. That’s a pretty crass remark, You don’t get out much, do you?
  4. The camera. Why do you ask? Is there a reason to doubt her credibility? There is undoubtedly plenty of video footage - have you seen it? The camera doesn’t lie. In law the credibility of the witness is taken into account by the courts and law enforcement. It is extremely unlikely that anyone would make something like this up and endure the inevitable fallout. The police can usually tell when someone is lying, that comes with the job.When they find him they will question him and hear his version. Then they will decide whether probable cause exists.
  5. The 999th reason not to get that drunk in Thailand. People just minding their own business generally don’t have any problems here. He probable won’t even remember what happened.
  6. That would be perfect. But if someone unfamiliar with the “business” encounters this and becomes upset, emotions dominate over rationality. You have to be careful where you “shop”. If someone is new to Thailand and hasn’t familiarized themselves with the country with information online then these things are more likely. I think he’s pretty aware now
  7. Isn't it nice to see some amusing news rather than hear all the sorrows of mankind?
  8. From a distance, yeah funny to look at, but yes they are ɑ$$h0Iels.
  9. Interesting point, I bet a lot of people haven’t considered that. Wonder if it means that stock brakes might be inadequately designed. Good to know, thanks.
  10. You can’t educate the uneducable.
  11. You'll have to bring the police a fatter brown envelope that the one they're already getting. Wait, instead, why not let the police make a commission on the fines for every conviction? Nahhh, too much like common sense.
  12. Of course - for those of us raised in a brothel - just like family
  13. Not gonna happen. Same as your Red Bull guy.
