Thailand Set to Recriminalise Cannabis Amid Expert Outcry
dinsdale replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Seems you didn't see the word apparently or you don't understand what it means. @sungod did not say "I'm a stoner as I use cannabis." Can you see the difference or is your morning imbibing session affecting your senses? -

Doctor's opinions about something else being safe and effictive has been proven to be incorrect. As for the above article there's no reference to any independant data so it's only blind faith and believing what you're told that makes you take it as truth. Critical thinking is a very important human trait. -

You don't need to use any reference at all. I don't say "the alcoholic's typical response ....." and it's nothing at all like the term farang. If it was then all people who drink are alcoholics and all people that smoke dope are drugs addicts. Rediculous comparison. -

Undoubtedly the overuse or abuse of dope can have deleterious effects and although you try and keep this on the anti-dope narrative you cannot deny that this also applies to alchohol, tabacco, ice and yaba. The point you are missing is that this applies to a small % of users. Recreational use is what it says. Recreational. Not abuse. Yep there are people with SUD (Substance Use Disorder) with the severest form being addiction but again this applies to all drugs and not to everyone that uses drugs. All tortoises are turtles but not all turtles are tortoises i.e. all drug addicts are drug users but not all drug users are drug addicts. p.s. As for being a stoner why the personal attacks on people you don't know? Do you drink alcohol and if so can I call you an alcoholic?- 170 replies

You know for a fact that "Thailand's youth" are abusing dope do you or is this just an opinion? As for youth what age would this be? Bear in mind that "Thailand's youth" are also using alcohol, tobacco, ice and yaba. Of course your generalist statement is nonsense. Yes, there is drug abuse but I'll bet the majority of abuse or casual consumption will primarily be alcohol and tabacco. You don't need to be an "expert" to work this one out.- 170 replies

I would very much like to see actual evidence of this claim supported by independent scientific proofs. This is just more of the demonising rhetoric to support the govts. (aka Thaksin) push to recriminalise.- 170 replies

Cannabis crackdown: Only marijuana buds return to the blacklist

Aint no reassurance here as it's the buds that are making the money. Complete imbiciles being directed by the Puppet Master. -
I got the old confused emoji from someone so here's more info to unconfuse you. I said this article is incorrect and it is. It's ASEAN nations wanting cross border currencies and as I said Indonesia is pushing this. An official meeting of all ASEAN Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors kicked off on Tuesday (March 28) in Indonesia. Top of the agenda are discussions to reduce dependence on the US Dollar, Euro, Yen, and British Pound from financial transactions and move to settlements in local currencies. The meeting discussed efforts to reduce dependence on major currencies through the Local Currency Transaction (LCT) scheme. This is an extension of the previous Local Currency Settlement (LCS) scheme that has already begun to be implemented between ASEAN members. https://www.aseanbriefing.com/news/asean-finance-ministers-and-central-banks-consider-dropping-us-dollar-euro-and-yen-indonesia-calls-for-phasing-out-visa-and-mastercard/

Once again an incorrect article. It is all ASEAN nations considering this and it's being pushed by Indonesia. China saying they are going to do this is old news.

One dead, 30 injured in Singapore Airlines emergency landing
dinsdale replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Baby asprin and alcohol don't mix so that's out for anyone who wants to imbibe and moving your legs is one thing but walking gives full body circulation and you can also stretch out those back muscles. Mild turbulance happens all the time and most people will manage to keep their balance. Turbulance that will put people at risk will (mostly) be detected by the pilot hence the fasten seatbelt sign. There's around 14,000,000 commercial flights a week globally so the chance of going for a walk and hitting undetected severe turbulence is very small. This turbulence event on SQ321 is very rare. Again the lesson that comes out of SQ321 is stay buckled up when seated. -
Thaksin Advised Against Exerting Excess Behind-The-Scenes Power
dinsdale replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Are you talking about the same Thaksin here? If you are I give you the award for being the most incorrect post I've seen on here today. Wait scrub that. The 2nd most incorrect. The article (although technically yesterday) about SQ321 must take 1st place. If your comment on the otherhand is tongue in cheek I suggest the use of an emoji to make it obvious. -

Probably don't know what a dunny is. As for seatbelt useage Asians are notoriously bad. Take any domestic flight flight here and as soon as the wheels touch down you can here that click, click, click of the belts being unfastened and a lot of times they're only fastened because their told to do so. Plane's touching town at around the 140 knots/260km/h mark. It's madness. I make sure my belts good and tight for every controlled crash landing and buckled up during the flight. Yep, dunny needs to be used and on long hauls legs need to be stretched but this amounts to minimal time unfastened. -

BBC YT vid above saying 6 critically injured. Down from previous number of 7. I think it's now very clear that no indication of this turbulence was known until it was too late. For me this indicates a clear weather turbulence event that the doplar radar failed to detect beforehand. As for the pilots there are no visual clues that turbulence may be ahead in a clear weather situation. -

Court shakes up Senate race: Judge advises removal of EC regs
dinsdale replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Makes zero difference. It's a sham. Senators should be elected in a national election along party lines. Oh wait! Can't have that. The Senate would comprised of majority of those who want reform and were elected by the public. This would be simply intollerable. Sounds like democracy. Silly me. -

I've seen this a lot on this thread and I agree to a point but as has been pointed out by myself and others on long haul flights getting up and having a bit of a walk around to get the circulation going is medically recommended for the avoidance of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). If it happens that the plane hits some clear air turbulance not detected then that's bad luck for sure but in reality the chances are very slim. If you're in your seat you should be strapped in. I always am. -

Are defribillators and oxygen bags (manual resuscitators) onboard passenger planes with cabin crew trained in their use along with CPR? If not this may be something that needs to happen. If this poor bloke did have a cardiac arrest maybe trained staff could have got his heart beating again. -
Thaksin Shinawatra’s Influence Revives Political Cynicism in Thailand
dinsdale replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Thaksin Shinawatra’s Influence Revives Political Cynicism in Thailand Another rediculous headline. For something to be revived it must have at one time or another stopped. If and I say IF anyone wasn't cynical of Thai politics before the last election they sure are now. Let's face it cynicism is a synonym for Thai politics and always has been. So no rivival. Continuence is the term. -

Ok you are right and the following info is obviously wrong. Please pay close attention to point 1 in the 5 differences. Myocardial infarction (MI), colloquially known as "heart attack," is caused by decreased or complete cessation of blood flow to a portion of the myocardium. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK537076/#:~:text=Myocardial infarction (MI)%2C colloquially,hemodynamic deterioration and sudden death. https://www.bhf.org.uk/informationsupport/heart-matters-magazine/medical/heart-attack-and-cardiac-arrest 5 differences between a heart attack and a cardiac arrest: (Remember a heart attack is technically known as a myocardial infarction) A heart attack is not the same as a cardiac arrest. A heart attack is when one of the coronary arteries becomes blocked. The heart muscle is robbed of its vital blood supply and, if left untreated, will begin to die because it is not getting enough oxygen. A cardiac arrest is when a person’s heart stops pumping blood around their body and they stop breathing normally. Many cardiac arrests in adults happen because of a heart attack. This is because a person who is having a heart attack may develop a dangerous heart rhythm, which can cause a cardiac arrest. A heart attack and a cardiac arrest are both emergency situations.
