The US has been dealing with the problem of homegrown terrorism for years.  Give them free housing, food, and a check in the mail every month.   If they get rambunctious and fire bomb and loot a few blocks of businesses, blame the police department and promise to give the looters more free stuff.  This process has worked well for decades so far.

The likelihood of a serious war with major world players increases with each report of world economic decline.

War deflects pressure from the real culprits, for the misery of the people.

And the other 1/2 are going to sit this election out and purchase bomb shelters and store up supplies for the coming US calamity.  

Asking tourists to stop drinking alcohol before swimming, is like asking a Thai not to eat Som Tom before using the toilet.

Not going to happen.

It might be a dark conspiracy.  When the world goes to war, foreigners may be rounded-up and placed in interment camps like the US did the Japanese during WWII.  Be sure and let your GF know where you hide your gold!

you are either misleaded or trying to mislead others.

law is not changed. old law continues. Constitution Court just asked law makers to revise it and law stays the same until the revision is done. if revision is not done within 6 months, old law again continues.

and reason for Constitution court to do that is, current law gives offenders same sentence for abusing a minor at age 15 and age 12. Constitution court want the law revised as the want higher punishment for the offenders of minors at age 12 then offenders of minors at age 15.

 

and if you say, old man lines up for minors etc, you will be at the same group of that Swedish minister, stating facts you have zero idea.

and if you say all believers of islam do not allow their woman to show their faces, again, you are stating facts with prejudice and stating facts you have zero idea again.

"all believers of Islam"   You are putting words into my post that I did not say.   I seldom, if ever use the word "all" as it is too broad a brush to paint a subject.  What the heck difference does it make if a girl is 12 or 15?  Bedding these young women is just wrong on every level.

One can only imagine the number of wealthy old men, lining up to take advantage of the new law and filling their beds with naïve underage young teens. 

This is all OK in Islam, but whatever you do, do not allow the women to show their faces.   Hypocrisy on the highest order.

Syria and Russia should be very careful, Obama may be forced to draw a Red Line!

PM's performances have always been spectacular.  I see an Academy Award coming any time now.

Are you really that easily offended?   Try not looking for something to complain about.  Life is wonderful for those who look for it's wonders.  Try being positive and complimentary, you may live longer and be happier.

Unnamed sources say that the Mexican Officials contacted D. Trump of how to mete out justice and H. Clinton on how to dispose of the evidence.  

This election has become so mean spirited that it appeals to my jaded sense of humor.  We now have a dark comedy which could quickly evolve into an American tragedy, a political soap-opera.  The end of America's world dominance must surely be results of this election.

trump the actual man is much more bizarre and clownish than any artistic representation. I wonder what the effect would be if a Superpac sent a postcard and email to every U.S. address just of that sculpture. Not Hillary's campaign of course. A superpac. I'm just wondering as obviously that won't happen, whether that would help, hurt, or be neutral for Hillary.

There are no US Presidential Candidates, only mediocre un-incarcerated buffoons.

Just when you think the US elections could not get any more bizarre, then this!

I feel embarrassment for the average US citizen having to endure an election that has become a freak show.

Everyone knows that tourists come to Thailand for the young "pole" dancers. 

In a world bereft of quality leadership, the PM bucks the trend.

It is a tough job.  Who is the person who could take on his responsibility in a country divided?

Be careful what you wish for.  A newly elected government could become a disaster for Thailand's prosperity.

 "Human scum" is a common epithet, along with "criminals" or "traitors."

These words do not describe the defectors who are seeking a better way of life.

These words do more appropriately describe certain N. Korean leadership.

Paper, be it cash, bonds, securities and so on, are all becoming suspect as the world slides slowly into a financial abyss.

Be smart and place at least some of your wealth in commodities that can not be devalued like paper.

Precious metals, real estate, antiques, art and so on will continue to hold their value as the world's financial giants become insolvent and the world as we now know it changes from paper to digital.   Even more suspect as a store of wealth.

So sad.  Still a young man in his prime.  RIP.

I would love to be able to express my opinion about this in an honest manner.  Suffice it to say, this move should be considered very troubling and sends an unmistakable message.

Doing wicked harm to young Thai women appears to be an entitlement of Thai males.  Alcohol and drugs are optional.

They found the situation normal!   Was this a good thing? 

Was very relieved to see that the suspect was not a Hua Hin ex-pat chess player gone rogue. 

Disputes are often resolved swiftly and decisively in Thailand.  Consequences for ending disputes by violent means will depend.

Honesty, integrity and responsible leadership are in short supply around the world today.

These admirable character traits are considered a weakness to be exploited by the criminal leaders who now rule the world.

Thank goodness for TVF for showing the way in fairness and impartiality when vetting these threads.
