China has painted themselves into a corner by their heavy handed diplomacy with their Asian neighbors and indeed the world.

Chinese can not be trusted. 

China would likely benefit from losing several million people in a brief nuclear skirmish...

They forget to test the toilet cleaning lady.

Going thru marine bootcamp may have proven easier...I alway marvel at how difficult they make the visa process...perseverance is the key...outlast the bull hockey!

Purchased a new Mazda 2...great fuel economy, easy handling and maneuvering thru traffic...comfortable on long trips...lots of trunk space...back seats fold down for more space.

When you purchase used...try to find an original owner car for sale...less likely to have been used and abused.

Good luck!

universities will have to reinvent themselves so they stay attractive to students even when they can (no) longer offer the traditional campus experience. --

Over paid and overrated uni-professors.  Maybe a cut in the high salaries will bring the costs of a higher education back down to a reasonable investment. 

For some as yet inexplicable reason, some IO at Udon Thani get off on making the visa process difficult...especially that middle aged male who seems to get upset over every document.

Constant hassle and in ny opinion harassment.  He appears to hate his job and everyone who comes to him for visa service.

I personally ended up using an agent just to avoid the annual drama.

Many Thais will applaud the departure of foreigners from their country. 

Disappointed!  Expecting one of those taxi rides from hell...overcharges...and brief scuffle!  ????

That should be obvious for everyone who followed the news in the last couple of months.

But it seems some so called leaders "think" it will go away anyhow. And they prefer to blame others instead of fighting the disease. To be prepared we need better leaders and leaders who care.

Sadly, it is doubtful that any better leaders can be found...the world is woefully lacking in strong moral character...integrity and honesty.

Possibly, they've only managed to kill 867,000 plus enemies of so far!

Did not fire a shot...not one soldier injured or killed!

Mission is already completed. The main mission is to quiet every critics and make them think twice. State terror against their own people. 

Kinda like Thai dissidents disappearing in the middle of the night?

This thread smells of stale beer and cigarette butts...

Watch your 6 boys...easier to dispose of you when not in government custody...

I'm thinking announcing his recovery...puts another target on his back.  

Maybe announce an unexpected relapse...followed by passing away...allow him to go incognito...pen his disapproval of Putin under an assumed name...

This really surprises me...expected the Saudis to sweep this under the rug...wondering, who did the arm twisting?

In other words...N. Korea is the ideal nation.
