You justify IDF soldiers shooting children because they hated Israelis? You justify dropping 2,000 pound bombs on apartment blocks because they hate Israelis?

 

Yes, most Hamas do hate Israelis. The feeling is mutual. Time to start talking and less engendering of even more hatred. For now, a plurality of both sides wants a peaceful solution to this war that doesn't involve the eradication of the other side.

Don't put words in my mouth. Oh I forgot to add in my post. They sleep in the bed they make. You can quote me on that!

Now their biggest fear for the world is not a pandemic, global weather or WW3. It's disinformation and misinformation. They know what's good for us great unwashed.

As the WEF tackles the theme of Rebuilding Trust in a world that’s lost its unity

What, "Build back better" didn't work for you? You elites can build back my trust when you go back where you came from and own nothing and be happy!

I'll charge you rent!

Most people know the answer to that question already but keep following the white rabbit.

Yes, most seem to follow the sheep! 

One wonders if the scientists employed by government follow the science or the narrative.

This is a positive way forward to boycotting Bitkub.

I must have missed the memo. Is there a problem with Bitkub?

I think it's the other side that needs to agree to a Palestinian state!

Made me feel better.

It's also very generous of this great pres to be paying Ukraine's government workers. I think American's are also funding Ukraine pensions. That's so nice!

Torsak Sukvimol says police officers around the country have been instructed to strictly enforce the law when dealing with drivers found to be over the limit.

Different kind of police officers for sure. You have to instruct them to enforce the law!

Nowhere that I can find, does it say that the vessel had a leak. Where did you glean that little gem from?

That boat sits low in the water. With waves of up to 3 - 4 meters, they will break over the deck and enter the vessel. One report says that this then caused the water pumps to stop working.

Apart from those two little errors, your comment is accurate.

"after the engine of the boat failed mid-voyage and water began to flow into the vessel". This says to me that there is a leak. Perhaps not from the bottom but a leak all the same. Water going into a ship is a leak. That thing they are calling a boat should only be in a small lake. Just look at those beautiful lines. It's definitely not for open water even in the Gulf of Thailand. Nevermind passengers! Most vessels will ride out a storm without an engine. It's called drifting. Wonder why that engine stopped? The passengers are very lucky.

You give us back our people and we will have a cease fire. If there is one more rocket fired from Gaza, ever again, we will wipe it off the face of the earth. How on that?

Cigarette lighter not working? Anyway if you only use it once a week to go to Macro, and obviously really want to have video, put your dumb phone on the dash turned on to video or better yet use an old dumb phone just for that one day a week. Just saying.

I was told by a nurse I knew from a well known hospital in Bangkok.  She said private hospitals are required to accept serious emergency cases.  Such as the type of emergency in this story.  If the patient has insurance or not

Yes you are right and the unfortunate part of this is that any rules made here are normally not followed up with actions, or even  reported, so these scum hospitals do what they want. Kind of like a corrupt organization and there are so many of them here.

This is arse about tit, normally Thais ( like a lot of asians ) look a lot younger than they actually are.

Sure that's true.  Also you put the right make up on the right 13 year old and in a dark bar she can look 19. I am aware of thais doing time because of that. Yes they were not too smart or didn't notice but they noticed the prison time!

According to a recent federal briefing note, the CAF is facing a recruitment crisis as it struggles to find willing Canadians to fill the military’s thinning ranks. 

That's understandable! They don't feel safe in their gov't bathrooms anymore.

The 5 pillars of road safety are

 

1. Education

2. Enforcement

3. Engineering

4. Emergency

5. Evaluation

 

In relation to this video how do they apply?

Firstly we must acknowledge that the videos doesn’t show the whole picture – particularly the course of the woman when out of camera shot and the angles of visibility.

 

Education

Both parties involved clearly have little education on road safety – most governments do this but in Thailand it is almost non-existent, they didn’t even think to wear crash helmets and are using pee-taught driving techniques that are common to Thai road users. The woman clearly had restricted control over her vehicle. This means when human error occurs the results tend to be more serious than they need to be.

(my guess is the woman saw the bike come out of the junction and assumed she would pass behind, but the man saw her late and stopped thinking she would go in front – the resulting combination of human errors  - split second judgements – meant the collision occurred)

 

Enforcement

No -one stopped them from driving without helmets or carry an under-age passenger

 

Engineering means both vehicles and roads – we can’t judge the vehicles but as has been pointed out there are several concerns about the junction – road markings and visibility been the most obvious.

 

Emergency – the response time in the UK for SERIOUS injury is 8 minutes (at present this doesn’t happen very often) BUT in Thailand there are no targets and no uniform emergency services, first responders or paramedics.

 

Evaluation – as can be seen by the nonsense promulgated on this thread alone analysis and metrication of this accident is pure conjecture by amateurs. Will the police do any better  - of course not!  The result is we learn nothing from this to help prevent future crashes

 

PS – “sneaking round the corner” i=s not a complete description.

 

The man is obviously being cautious because he can’t see properly and the lines of travel is extremely common on Thai roads – if you want to understand this then you need to understand that unlike Europe where road travel was common before the motorcar, in Thailand the main mode of transport was by boat – the traffic sense, rules and behaviour stem largely from that culture hence the line of the male motorcyclist.

If you repeat to yourself whilst driving in Thailand “I’m in a boat” “I’m in a boat” you’ll suddenly find you for in with the traffic much better.

Of course if you’ve never navigated a boat on a river, it may not be that apparent to you. You have to shed your horse and cart mentality for a boat one.

 

There is one pillar of road safety.

1. Don't go where someone else is going.

She had the right of way and his poor riding habits caused this accident.

So, the judicial system isn't collapsing?

Oh it should be fine. Don't worry. It's quite similar to the Thai system. Good luck with that!

So you tell me what you don't like with a will qualified lawyer getting this post? Was it Sri, Obama or both that trigger you?

Ok, I thought he had never been a judge before and failed to research his history completely. I didn't think a lawyer should be placed in a top appeal judge position while never being a judge or with little experience. In any event obviously he's an Obama shill and personally I think Obama wasn't a good pres. How on that?
