  1. Brilliant examples for nurses everywhere.
  2. Nothing to do with the CIA. The state ḍepartment just wanted to debrief him.
  3. He could always flee the country. Oh but maybe he isn't in the Red Bull mafia.
  4. I asked how they interpreted as in what did they say
  5. The USA had many socialist entities (where people think socialism means taking your money through taxes and using it for the common good, e.g. fire services, police, FEMA etc. ) Doesn't mean it is a fully socialist state yet.
  6. Used to be lazy and directionless. Came here and worked like heck to make money. Now thinking of becoming lazy again.
  7. It happened to me once. Stopped around 11pm at night at a junction in the days when there was no central lock on most cars. A huge black guy got it and said there were no buses so could I take him a few miles. Frightened the bejesus out of me but he was polite and did get out later without incident.
  8. People seem to have trouble differentiating between Israelis and Jews. One is a state, the other a religion. You can like one and not the other.
  9. It used to be that if you tried to help someone who subsequently died, you could be prosecuted for manslaughter. Giving CPR, pulling someone from a wreck, you could end up in court. People began to ignore anyone in distress as they didn't want to go through the court process. Then Good Samaritan laws were implemented, and it was easier to try to save someone's life without being jailed for it. These laws generally encourage bystanders to offer assistance to others and reduce their hesitation to act for fear of being sued should they fail. Good Samaritan laws provide limited immunity from being sued in specific circumstances. In many instances it applies only where help is being provided without the intention of reward or financial compensation.
  10. Free money. Who can resist. I don't suppose the contracts they signed have a legal basis to sue?
  11. A generous gift. Who pays for the fuel and maintenance?
  12. When will the authorities start to provide offroad space for these guys and girls to enjoy themselves? Freestyle events are very popular as are enduro and speedway. A particular favorite, hill climbing (motorcycle trials) is great fun. With no real hills in Bangkok, manmade hills could be created. Give young people an outlet for their energy.
  13. People sign up to defend their country all the time. The handwringing snowflakes who denied them the chance because they were so afraid of those guys should be demoted.
  14. I suppose Musk was in with a chance but they chose the organ grinder not the monkey.
  15. There was a famous incident of the school girl in Bangsue walking along railway tracks gabbing away and people in the station shouting at her that the train was coming. Taken out of the gene pool immediately.
  16. The gold simply means, "I have no savings in the bank and all my net worth is around my neck."
  17. Perhaps the Werewolf Division should look at what happened to the Werewolf Division during the war. They were all executed when caught for wearing allied uniforms.
  18. Could have been something innocuous in a packet that was made of magnesium? Would Russia be so obvious? Maybe...
  19. He looks like he has the moves to serve on the front without a gun. Next: welcome back to Russia, comrade.
  20. It has implications in many fields, but astronomy will get to the point of seeing the big bang.
  21. I think he's serious. Do these people understand what a laughingstock they make of Thailand with their pronouncements?
