  1. That's good, I never claimed Phuket was the worst in Thailand. I was responding to your claims and links.
  2. Next time you provide links to back up your opinions try to match them up. Goodbye
  3. These are specific claims Your new link and new claim that I am wrong also fails to address the statistics to prove those claims, did you even read it. Its regarding tourists only, this topic is about all road deaths in Phuket. "The sample size of this study comprised of 400 foreign tourists from Chiang Mai, Thailand with accidentally sampling. It was conducted through face to face interview survey of foreign tourists with a total population of 2,902,139 persons in 2016"
  4. Petty.....lol. You made specific claims then tried to back them up with links that failed to do so. Try again.
  5. Your first link shows deaths over Songkran with Bangkok, Nakhon Sawan and Phitsanuloke have the highest death toll, at three each. Your second link to a topic is not cited and an opinion piece with no supporting links. So again what statistics are you claiming for this post?
  6. Statistics to prove your claims?
  7. Ridden motorbikes in Phuket. Didn't find it that bad. The roads are ok. I disagree as does the topic of this thread
  8. Did your friend die in Phuket? Do you have much experience of driving in Phuket? Here's another great friend I had in Phuket, who I worked with and who died and yes he had a helmet on, my family was at his house the day before. Scots DJ Paul Norris killed in Thailand crash https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-25712331
  9. You do know that they are also reported in local news and through personal friends. I have also attended 4 funerals for those who died by the way.
  10. What makes you think I was not there to witness any of them? What makes you think defensive driving would have stopped a death when the driver is stuck in a traffic jam and is then hit from behind, smashed into from a nut that was going to fast to stop? Yes I have been there and so unfortunately has my daughter.
  11. Oh victim blaming. A lame excuse for those that die at the hands of others irresponsibility and have followed every defense measure. Yes I have also seen it and I do 2 - 3 hours driving a day in Phuket on the School runs and other destinations
  12. Best fireworks display so far, good clip of a Russian rocket storage blown to pieces. Screenshot and link. Pointless rendering the full twitter link display as you need to have signed up to twitter to view. If you have an account then click the link. https://twitter.com/Osinttechnical/status/1676512131125063680
  13. Update on the Philadelphia mass shooting, he's been arrested and named. The suspect accused of killing five people – including a 15-year-old boy – in a shooting in Philadelphia on Monday night had a previous gun conviction and was carrying a “ghost gun” the night of the shooting, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner told CNN on Wednesday. Kimbrady Carriker, 40, is set to be arraigned Wednesday on murder charges, according to the district attorney’s office. Carriker is also facing charges of attempted murder, aggravated assault and simple assault, among others. The shooting was a “random, premeditated deliberate killing carried out with an assault rifle,” Krasner told CNN. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/07/05/us/philadelphia-shooting-wednesday/index.html Meanwhile another one just announced. 3 people were killed and 6 others injured at a Fourth of July block party in Shreveport, Louisiana Three people are dead and at least six are injured following a shooting just before midnight on Tuesday, according to information provided to CNN affiliate KSLA by Shreveport officials. It was difficult to get to the victims due to the amount of vehicles at the scene, according to information from police released to KSLA. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/07/05/us/shreveport-shooting-block-party/index.html
  14. Lighten up, it was found in a storage facility routinely used by White House staff and guests to store mobile phones. They are checking cctv and a full investigation is ongoing. Patience, they will announce results when they have them. In the mean time rest assured the secret service is not hiding things otherwise we would not have known about it.
  15. You've got that the wrong way round, they had no lapse, the speeding or drunk drivers who hit them were at fault.
  16. Musk's actions have consequences. Google Search Showing 50% Fewer Twitter URLs After Twitter Blocked Unregistered Users On Friday afternoon, Twitter decided to block unregistered, signed-out users, from seeing public tweets. That meant that for Google's normal crawling purposes, it was unable to see some of these tweets. It seems that Google now has about 52% fewer Twitter URLs in its index today than it had on Friday, just a few days later. https://www.seroundtable.com/twitter-google-search-drop-35648.html
  17. Great, tell that to those who kept to the speed limit and were fully aware of the dangers of the road, then through no fault of their own are no longer here. Oh wait, you can't. I personally know of 4 here in Phuket. Yes Sh!t happens.
  18. Not that easy when its not your fault and some idiot plows into you, your car or motorbike.
  19. Meanwhile the statistics keep coming and more children and adults keep dying and getting injured. Four people were shot dead in the city of Philadelphia late on Monday, US police have said. They said another two - children aged two and 13 - were injured in the attack in the city's south-western Kingsessing area. All the victims are male. The suspected gunman is now in custody and his rifle and handgun have been recovered. Police added that the suspect, who has not been named, was wearing a ballistic vest with "multiple magazines". https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-66061204
  20. At no point did I claim you did claim Musk invented twitter. I did give a comparison though with your criticism of Mark as a discussion point. CNN overloads eh.......lol
  21. Twitter was hardly Musks idea either, he just paid over the odds for someone else's brainchild. Now we have another serious contender on the market. That's how market forces work.
  22. Great news, some decent competition now on its way with a bonus of no porn as twitter allows. Much better for young people.
  23. The US is a developed country though right? https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2022-us-gun-violence-world-comparison/
  24. If "you say so", I'm not making a judgment as I've not studied the acceptance procedures enough. I was pointing out to the poster I responded to what Harvard said
