...and why was it necessary to use the label 'transgender'?

...and the victims not labelled 'heterosexual', or whatever their predilections?

Include me in that. Wise to not get involved in European conflicts.

Or is it too difficult to take an ethical position? Luckily for the world, most countries did become involved in European affairs- that's what stopped the systematic murder of millions of people aka 'The Holocaust'. 

Anyhow, I hope you're sharing your 'wisdom' with Ukrainian civilians.

Children will be children, education in the classroom would help 

Exactly, like compulsory swim classes for primary school children. I'm thinking here of the Australian model.

When I was working in Songkla, driven this road many times, lovely area, baffles me how a fatality can happen on this road.

 

Motorbikes, so dangerous if not experienced in riding. 

These young girls, out and about, enjoying themselves, what a waste. 

Bloody parents, letting these young people ride motorbikes. ????

 

That's very harsh. By looks of the video footage, the car driver failed to give way.

Arrrggghhh! That is such an offence to my sight!

Disgraceful, unprofessional, thuggish behaviour from the police.

Hoping against hope that this will be Thailand's 'Rodney King' moment.

...but not holding my breath!

By the look of things my daughter is learning all she needs to know about living in Thailand under this sham of an administration.

You mean staying on top of the bull?

Thanks darksidedog for this "This prison isn't full of guilty people. It is full of poor people."

Thailand aint no Robinson Crusoe on that!

Seems to me the more extreme the politics of the so-called 'leaders', the more they want to stick their prudish noses into everyone's business! 

Military governments of every ilk are such prudes- publicly at least ????

So how is it a 'largely inaccurate report', apart from the Police quote?

"In a largely accurate report..."

It actually says 'accurate'.... apart from the copper's ingenuous contribution.

Well done you brave young poeple.

I wonder how long before 'democracy is returned' at 300 rounds per minute? ????

Year on year the road fatality stats aren't getting any better so it would appear to be acceptable by the Govt. to have on average 40 people killed daily on the roads, and yet the country goes into economic meltdown over the deaths of a mere 58 mortals from CV19... ???? ????

Point taken, but at the end of the day not a valid comparison... ????

Have the lackluster Thai government been shamed into actually doing something because of the virility of posters on Thai Visa I  wonder???

probably not..... ????

And this is where our spineless western governments need to do something. Imagine if a health minister in UK or AU or US said he would never apologise to asians ? There would be outrage and most likely riots not to mention letters of protest from every Asian country , but when tables are turned , our spineless governments keep quite

'quiet'

Wha a silly, ill-informed comment. 

Thanks to all responders here (well most of them anyway). I did not ask the initial question but the information provided here is quite useful.

An old lady calls the police about some young men next door running around nude in their yard.

 

When the police arrive, the officer looks out the old lady's window and says, "I can't even see into their yard."

 

"You can if you stand on this chair," says the old lady.

 

Either don't look or every time he does it just ask him in a loud voice to cover-up his miniature plumbing.

That is soooo funny. I just visualized the boys in grey and the looks on their faces as she said it ha ha 

You tried being the nice guy, you tried to prompt him with a minor 'official'. I'd get down there tell it's inappropriate. Next time I get the police involved.  Boy, what an insensitive slob (HIM, not you mate). 

I'd like to know what you mean by 'Make Thailand great again'.  When was it 'great'? For that matter, define 'great'.  

Mate, don't worry about the grandiose wording, just do the best you can do within your means for those you can reach.  Even 'just' paying for your adopted child's education, supporting and encouraging his or her learning makes Thailand 'great' for one kid, one family and you. 

I'm at a stage in my life where I have had 30+ years of experience and developed great wisdom in my role and get better every day (I hope!) but counter-intuitively, I am less likely to find to find a new job because I am too old.
