  1. He is a Southern political representative and may be justified to oppose the Pheu Thai lack of interest in that region. Can't argue with that.
  2. It seems like a smart move. With her nomination as President coming late in the election process, being able to show your Vice President to the voters, and both respond to questions on a real news channel as opposed to a self-confessed entertainment channel seems like a good idea. It is all a very compressed timeline for both of them. I presume the public want to see them in action together to get a feel for how they will get on as a key part of government.
  3. These guys are so clever and tech savvy one has to ask why Africa hasn't developed more. Seems clever guys make more money from crime than office work.
  4. Always confused when developed nations' blue collar workers want higher wages but complain about cheaper Asian products. Can't blame them for wanting a better standard of living.
  5. It will be good to punish the police who helped him get way. But what about the current police who know where he is and refuse to act?
  6. Sounds like a lot of people were looking forward to de-stressing... but now, back to the rioting.
  7. I think it celebrates victory in WWI, which saw Thailand on the side of the British and French.
  8. I just completed this quiz. My Score 20/100 My Time 72 seconds  
  9. Libraries are a place of freedom and access to knowledge. Censorship had been proven not to work. If people can't read Lady Chatterley's Lover in a library, they will pass around on grubby illegal copies. Books just don't kill people. Not so sure about guns.
  10. The Great Fire of London started in a bakery too. That's how things start. Just saying.
  11. There goes billion dollar missiles, main battle tanks and other expensive gizmos.
  12. Many people will be calling him a coward for this. Not me.
  13. I don't believe Thai politicians think about long term solutions. They refused to believe Dutch experts when we had that massive flood in 2011. My guess is they will go for quick stopgaps like a wall here and there while buying up all the highland property they can.
  14. I agree that people should be given equal respect but the coach could always choose a full team of female-by-birth players based on skill.
  15. Seems there is flooding every year or so but the junta didn't do anything. One day I suppose...
  16. Satan killed only 10 people in the whole bible. God killed millions (with the flood, plagues etc ). Satan tortures only bad people in hell. God gives babies brain cancer. Hmm...
  17. Weird that someone would sign a peace agreement with these animals. Shame.
  18. I don't think 10% will go gambling. Better to ask how many gamble on the lottery.
  19. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/02/07/many-dont-know-obamacare-and-affordable-care-act-are-the-same-thing.html I think evidence counts. I believe AN thinks so too. P.S. you could simply Google "do Americans think Obamacare and the affordable care act are different".
  20. Read it. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/07/upshot/one-third-dont-know-obamacare-and-affordable-care-act-are-the-same.html
  21. If you weren't such an idiot calling people liars without evidence I wouldn't do this. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/07/upshot/one-third-dont-know-obamacare-and-affordable-care-act-are-the-same.html https://www.cnbc.com/2017/02/07/many-dont-know-obamacare-and-affordable-care-act-are-the-same-thing.html Kind of makes Americans look foolish.
