PM orders working committee to tackle illegal narcotics
fondue zoo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
ououou, they put on their serious faces for this one. lion face, lemon face, lion face, lemon face -
I wanted my child to live, and live without brain damage so I banned all scooter use when transporting for school through part of the city. I made it clear that I would pay for any transport to and from school but family ignored that when it took more than 5 minutes to hail a taxi or call Grab. Three times it took me reading the riot act at them, spittle flying in their faces. It is the only time I've lost it and called them dumb <deleted> hicks, what the <deleted> is wrong with you all. Your fat somtam stuffing faces will probably bounce and survive, a 5 year old will be a smear on the road and gone forever. - they just don't care, thought I was being hysterical. - it finally stopped when the monkey started ratting them out and telling me "I went on a bike ride today". Well that and me physically putting them in a taxi every morning. disclaimer: I love my extended family and they're not bad people.. just sometimes stubbornly stupid with little to no thought given to consequences.

UK IT firms back nationwide tablet initiative for equal education
fondue zoo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
aww that's cute, those I.T companies think this is being done with an educational purpose, with all their talk of courseware, device specifications and necessary skills. They're going to be told, you think too much, no need all these things, just give them out make everyone happy. -
Of course human lungs are not meant to breathe in anything but the atmosphere for which we are designed. So why are so many voluntarily inhaling intoxicants of varying natures throughout history? Because we are a creature of chemical reactions and altering the balances makes us feel good/different. As a species we've been doing that to ourselves for millennia in very inventive ways. It's the motivation to do so and lack of control that is the problem. Alcohol, tobacco, coffee, sugar, or any drug of choice - handle your high. The puritans can beat their drums loudly as is their want but it makes no difference. I suspect that even if we lived in a utopia of some sort humans would still seek out ways to 'alter' the experience. <two cents only, it's a complex issue, with black, white and a lot of grey areas, and yes the kids.>

Ever since I watched the move Syriana, Matt Damon's 'son' getting electrocuted due to a faulty pool light, and then our maintenance guy testing a wire with his tongue .."it tingles if it's electrics".... w????f this has been a thing for me lately. Please note our condo maintenance fellow is a great guy, very helpful, but he is going to die. Between his ladders made of old wood and gaffer tape and his questionable electrical practices the clock is ticking.

The last two education ministers had next to zero qualifications connected to education. Let's be honest, you can't put someone in that position who might help improve the education sector. People get uppity and feisty when they think too much with all that learnin'.

As a professional white honky I agree, I avoid other white honky's. I was happy to be the token farang in my building and street. Now there are others... -

Is Thailand’s education system safe in the hands of Bhumjaithai Party?

We have to keep in mind that mothers are averse to their kids being shot. My younger relatives are ready for action, mums of those relatives are telling them all to calm down. -

I can confirm this for our school, but not really surprising. Helping kids get fat with a dash of diabetes since 2000.
