  1. Hi There,

    I am trying to buy a fishing kayak (sea fishing Kayak) around or in Bangkok but somehow can find any dealers on internet. I have seen one in Mega Bang Na a couple of month ago but it was more a gadget from feel free then a real sea fishing kayak (they didn t have all kayaks from Feel free).

    I was wondering if someone could help me out and advise a shop around BKK to find this.

    Cheers

  2. Hi There,

    My son (4 years old) has severe car sickness. I guess a part is due because of the car movement and another big part due to stress (as soon as he gets in the car he already looks not comfortable and starts to show signs of car sickness a minute or 2 after starting).
    i have been told by the Pharmacist that Domperidone is a good medicine to prevent car sickness and wanted to know if some of you have already used this medicine or could recommend another one.

    I am also wondering if the inclination of the infant car seat can play in car sickness. Would be real glad to have some of your advises.

    Cheers.

  3. Do they honestly believe they can manipulate nature with "witchcraft". This is 50's experimentation without foundation!

    No, but it's possible to release chemicals (I hope safe) in cloudy areas to "brake" them and release their humidity that results in rain. It's a common practice in several countries in the world. It will however never solve a drought problem in a country but only bring some rain in some geographical areas.

  4. My friend's gf just finished working in Dubai. She was treated like a civilized country would call slavery. $40 a week, 16-20 hours a day, 7 days a week and with that money she had to buy food once every two weeks if they let her or live on white bread. Last month she was deafly ill for a short while and they would not let her go to the hospital and insisted she cook for the family. Why western countries support countries like this who have no regard for anyone but themselves is beyond me. They even held her passport as security. If UAE is supposed to be one of the more liberal countries in that region, then good luck with the rest.

    I see the exact same happening here with cambodians, burmeese and laotian...

    When was the last time you saw one locked up for a very mild post online? Really?

    blink.png It was a comment to the previous quote from steve654...

  5. Several middle eastern countries and their people, have some of the thinnest skin and apparently some of the lowest self-esteem, of anyone on the planet. The number of things that they forbid is a mile long. A society without joy is no society at all, in my book. You can't drive. You can't listen to music. Have fun? Forget about it. Criticize us? We can't handle it. We are not real men. We are half men. We cannot take anyone saying anything bad about us. And put in jail without the most basic of comforts? That is 13th century barbarism. Shame on these super freaks. And I am a tolerant man. But, some lines should not be crossed. They should know better. I would expect something like this from the Saudis. But the Emirates?

  6. Will 2 months a year really make a difference or is it just a paint job? I don't know. Just asking?

    Not at all. In a fish hatchery it takes around 2 month to get 10 gram marine fishes such as seabass or grouper. You will never be able to "repopulate" the golf of Thailand with a 2 month fishing ban.

    Better control of the fishing boats nets, control of quotas and amount of fishing boats and fishing quotas reduction for a couple of years is the solution (example Tuna in the Mediterranean).

    But again... corruption will be the main limit....

  7. Wow... you don't know shit I presume...

    95% of Muslims in France are completely "fitting in" in France, 4.9% don't try but stay in their apartments and are the older people and their kids brought to France in the 20's and 30's to build apartments that were given citizenship and parked in lousy apartments. the other part which represents less than 1% are stupid <deleted> claiming they are fighting in the name of Allah... exactly the same minority as the ones trowing stones and pig heads at Mosques...

    "95% of Muslims in France are completely "fitting in" in France"

    You just made that stat up; didn't you?

    I am french and lived there before living here and I know. Of course I made that number up... Whether it's 95, 96 or 94% is irrelevant. You barely don't see people in France that don't want to "fit in", only "10" stupid guys that are shown on TV...

    Take 100 people that are muslims in an office in Paris... you won't find one that is not integrated and feels french... Its only a very small minority and this is the one that is shown on TV...

    16% of French Citizens Support ISIS, Poll Finds http://www.newsweek.com/16-french-citizens-support-isis-poll-finds-266795

    Thats 16% of all French citizens so what do you think the percentage is for the muslim community 50%, 60% 70%??

    I can assure you that supporting ISIS does not "fit in" with France

    Several polls (you can google them yourself) consistantly show that between 20-30% of muslims world wide support violent jihad. While it is true to say that not all of the 20-30% have the balls to actually do harm they are part of the enabling world of violent islam.

    Yes, I read that.

    You can do what you want with polls... take 50 samples in a suburb in Paris so called no go Zone and yes 16% will say they support ISIS (which doesn t mean that they will come and kill even if they can considered as a threat by some)...

  8. I spent over 30 years working and living in Saudi Arabia and 5 years in Iran. I expect my knowledge of Islamic thinking is just as reliable as your wild eyed estimates.

    I lost one of my employees to Al Qaida in an attack precisely like the one in Paris so your living among them is hardly something I will find very impressive.

    I suggest you retire and come back when you have some data that is backed up by some reliable source.

    Pulling statistics out of your ear (or any other bodily orifice) aren't conducive to intelligent conversation

    The subject and all comments are not really about muslims in Saudi arabia or Iran under Sharia law, but more over msulims and their integration or not in NON muslim countries...

    Taking this country as example is absolutely not relevant as these are 2 of the worst islamic states in the world with extreme racist people and absolutely not tolerant muslims (at least for Saudi Arabia) that are not even tolerant to muslims from their neioghbouring countries.

    My example is about France as everyone is talking about how Muslims are dangerous and not integrated due to Charlie Hebdo's unfortunate attack... You think I am wrong... fine, but it's strange from a person who has never lived there and argues only after having heard the news.

  9. Agreed, but I still feel badly for the Muslims that just want live their lives peacefully and fit into Western society.

    the problem is very few want to fit in to western society. They want us to fit in to sharia, the call to pray while annoying can be argued the same as Christian Church bells but my not being able to eat pork in front of them or buy it in my local Market because it is haram is bs, same with not allowed to buy alchohol, drinking or talking to a pretty woman. Where are the Jewish, Christian, Buddhist, or hindu prayer rooms in airports?

    ....95%+4.9%+1%= ??? it has to add up to 100% ............... I guess you are in the 1% of the stupid ones?

    clap2.gif If you read litteraly what I wrotte and can't understand that it's a "picture"... than you are as dumb as those applying the same rules by reading and doing 100% what is stated on all different religious books (without thinking, adapting and evolving in time)... that leads to integrism...

    "95% of Muslims in France are completely "fitting in" in France"

    You just made that stat up; didn't you?

    Let's look at these made up statistics.

    I have seen estimates where there are approximately 6.5 million Muslims in France.

    1. If, as Amir claims, 95% are fitting in that would mean 6,175,000 of them are peaceful supporters of the French way.

    2. Amir goes on to claim 4.9% are sitting in their rocking chairs watching television, and are another 318,500 non-combatants.

    3. Amir then goes on to claim 1% are "stupid <deleted> fighting in the name of Allah". Since the percentages he cited add up to 100.9% of the total population, I can only assume he meant that only 0.001% are those <deleted> persons he describes. Carrying on on with my assumption of his 0.001 as being the <deleted> types, that would bring their numbers up to a grand total of 6,500 individuals.

    Considering the mayhem caused by the three Islamic terrorists in France, just imagine what problems some 6,500 like minded Islamic terrorists could cause the French nation and Europe in general.

    More frighteningly, project Amir's own guess that 0.001 of the 1.7 BILLION Muslims world wide are radicals and your answer arrives at a standing army of...1.7 MILLION potential jihadis.

    Think about it

    Come one... you know very good what I meant... These numbers are a picture. If you are so smart and a math freak, why you don't go and look for yourself, go to Paris, make a survey... take 1000 Muslims and see for yourself if you can find only one single person that is a menace to society because he is an Islamist radical and wants to kill in the name of Allah. I doubt you will find one. I even doubt that you will find 20 of them that pray 5 times a day... You probably will find a few that have wife's that cover their hair and pray 5 times a day but it doesn't mean that they are not adapting to day to day life in Paris.

  11. Agreed, but I still feel badly for the Muslims that just want live their lives peacefully and fit into Western society.

  12. Why don't the Muslims get out and protest against thier fellow muslims who are carrying out these attacks. I am sure if they did it would go a long way to healing the divide b/w islam and the rest.

    700,000 People marching in Paris today to protest against these terror acts. Out of these poeple is the muslim council of France and thousands of muslim... Some prominents are also present...

  13. As a gay Jew I know for a fact a lot of Muslims want to kill me!

    Some Christians too!

    But percentage-wise, I am sure more Muslims.

    I don't think it is "Islamophobia" to be aware and conscious of objective facts.

    Probably because Muslims who for most of them live in arabic countries have a much slower development level (and so less open mind) than in Christians countries which for most of them are developed. Religion (islam) but also education and I would even say especially education has a big responsability in this.

    I hope this will change with time and that muslims become more adapted to modern world. I don't think anyone is denying facts, but again putting everyone in the same bag is not fair.

    Rejecting and hating muslims in general will not help for sure.

  14. Because I am sick to death of people using the word racist to describe people who are anti islam (and for good reason) by not educating you on what the word means you will continue to use it out of context and just encourage others to use it when it has NOTHING to do with people not liking islam or what it stands for.

    Additionally since I am married to a person of color and have kids the same as well as having family of color it kinda makes it even more ignorant to call me a racist because of my views on Islam.

    Call me Anti Islamic or anything else you can think of but Racist is not the word simply because of what I have taught you already about what the word means and it does not apply to people who hate islam.

    I don't think you are only anti-islam. With your previous comments you are anti people who are muslims and so racist to arabs (who are 90% muslims).

    Maybe I didn't understand you right... I am anti-integrist (islam integrist for example) and against countries wanting to set up islamic states.

    No just Anti Islam and anti muslim because I personally believe that based on the muslims of the world have sent a clear message that a cartoon is more important to protest than to protest Islam Atrocities like Lee rigby or 7/7 bombings or 911 or the 23,000 plus Terrorist Islamic attacks since 9-11 it is very clear that a cartoon of Mohammed is way more important to protest than the killing of thousands if infidels.

    So yes I am anti any person that wants to kill me because I am not a muslim

    Ok got the message. For you all muslims are potential terrorists as all want to kill non muslims.

    So are you saying that you are scared of Thai Muslims? They could kill you for not beeing muslim. If That's the case, you should not go to the south of thailand and i am not mentioning the deep south... too many there ;-)

  15. Racial hatred usually employs a simple, stereotypical approach. So if a Thai Muslim doesn't dress like a Muslim, no one will know that they're Muslim.

    Are you really so IGNORANT

    Learn what the word racist means before using it because it make you look like an idiot.

    Islam is not a race it is a political ideology and is not based on any specific race muslims can be white, black, brown, yellow or any other shade additionally Muslims come from many races

    Calling someone who is anti muslim a racist just shows that the person doing that is a complete moron

    Diamondking, you're such an ass. Why the stupid insults? People know what I mean, whether it's simple bigotry or racism...what difference does it make, really? Are you trying to defend your hatred of Islam as not being racist? Fine, big deal. Just don't be so retarded all the freakin time.

    Because I am sick to death of people using the word racist to describe people who are anti islam (and for good reason) by not educating you on what the word means you will continue to use it out of context and just encourage others to use it when it has NOTHING to do with people not liking islam or what it stands for.

    Maybe I didn't understand you right... I am anti-integrist (islam integrist for example) and against countries wanting to set up islamic states.

  16. I can provide examples of this if you choose but as a Muslim you know i am correct anyway and your Taquiya/Kitman will not work with me wink.png

    Wow, I guess you are assuming by my Avatar Name that I am a muslim? Wrong. I am french, I eat saucisson and drink beer, don't give a shit about who is what but don't like that someone generalizes people due to a minority of the same community, religion, color or what ever you call it do (vary saddly) the headlines with terrorist attackes.

  17. Look man, Islam was created long time ago... things evolve in time and people adapt... those who don't are called fanatics which is not necessarly good.

    I agree that some statements in the Coran are maybe a little agressive, but it's not better in the Bible.

    VERY few Christians take the Bible literally or act on hateful verses written thousands of years ago. There are millions of Muslims who take the Qur'an literally and live by its word on a daily basis. There is no moral equivalence.

    I agree with you 100% and I find it sad that some muslims don't evolve and adapt.

    Muslims in "muslim countries have however no problem living their lifes following as much as possible the Coran and this DOESN'T make them terrorists. And more than the majority living in Europe adapt to the country they live in (especially for those born in it). Maybe for some not enough, but again this doesn't make them terrorits.

    Apparently for some posters here like DiamonKing, because of some crazy ass M&^#!&^%ers that pretend they are muslims (but are not real ones and should be more considered as a Terrorist Sect) and create terror ALL those who are muslims (and look like) should be punished. Unfortunately some fear against arab looking people are established... but it does not mean that all arab, muslim looking and muslims should be punished or are a threat.
