  1. Ok, but the court gave a different sentence. think there was a hint in the headline? Do you think there was a hint in the headline? Transgender Inmate Sues Trump, Claims His Rhetoric Incited Prison Rapes
  2. Maybe so, but Trump launched a trade war against everyone. He can't win against China if he is fighting with everyone.
  3. Only Patong. Phuket is a big Island and the folks up in Surin Beach or Bang Tao or down in Kata don't behave like this
  4. She was sentenced to prison, not to sodomy. Rape is a crime. It is rather telling that some of you get delight at knowing she is being violently raped. It takes a very sick and diseased individual to derive happiness from the forced anal penetration of another man. No wonder so many of you are seen as kiddie diddlers by the general public. Sick sick, sick, just like the inmate,
  5. So you are not one to respect court verdicts and courts sentences then?
  6. I did not find her claims credible. Not that I doubt that she may have provided sexual favours, I do doubt that she was compelled or forced to do so. I think she was a party girl who grew bitter and resentful, once she realized that she was not the special person her sexual partners told her she was. Getting old and plump sucks. As recent events show, she was given to embellished and inflated stories. Idiots like Andrew the self entitled lazy one were easily taken advantage of in large part because they were idiots. '' She is not in a Club Fed. She is currently in the FCI Tallahassee facility. She is in the wing for people who have good behavior and it is a dorm. set up which means rows of metal bunk beds with little privacy. The prison does not have a good reputation. The local newspaper, The Tallahassee Democrat reported a year ago that A summer inspection of the women's prison by the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of the Inspector General revealed "alarming" conditions, including inmates living with "black substances" on walls and ceilings. "We found that some inmates in the female prison lived in housing units in which water frequently leaked from ceilings and windows on or near their living spaces," the report says. "We also observed poor conditions inside communal inmate bathrooms." Inspectors also said there were "serious issues" with the food service that posed a risk to inmates' health. Rotten food was consistently served and stored in areas with rat droppings and insect infestation. Another idiotic suggestion of a fake conspiracy? The deceased had already been caught lying after her vehicle crash when she claimed that she was dying and had kidney failure.
  7. Why push a nonsensical claim of a plot? The man was 88 and had chronic diseases. He had heart disease, lung disease and was a diabetic. He was already missing part of his lung that had to be removed when he was a young man because of his chronic lung disease. The poor guy had been suffering for years and was kept alive by modern medicine. At some point one has to let go. He was not going to bounce back at age 88 after having a catastrophic stroke. He was ready to die and had seen to his funeral arrangements. How much more pain did you want him to endure? As sad as the event is, I am glad that he is now at what he felt would be his eternal peace.
  8. Will anybody think to clean drains before the rains start?
  9. Vaccine isn't going to be effective because it is a parasitic disease.
  10. That is not the appropriate medication. The disease is caused by parasites which enter the body. You have to kill the parasites. If they are visible in the skin, destroying their 'nest" helps. However, the most common treatment is with miltefosine. This infection was common to the personnel deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, so treatments are well tested over the years.
  11. Maybe it is simpler reason? The been there, done that experience. Once you have visited Thailand for 2 weeks a couple times, the thrill is gone for most people. Vietnam wasn't a go to destination until recently. Now it is. Once tourists have had their fill of Vietnamese pollution and corruption, they will move on, perhaps to Taiwan once it is absorbed back into the mainland, or Myanmar, if the war ends, or even South korea. Japan is already experiencing a tourism boom.
  12. Trump is opposed to any action against Iran at this time. He is the one opposing direct action. Give them credit for that. The guy is actually trying to stay out of wars. We may not like his strategy or methodology, but that is his core position. He is an isolationist. If there is a trike against Iran, it will be by Israel and it will come with a tradeoff that Israel must unilaterally end the Gaza war once Iran is no longer funding terrorism in Gaza.
  13. What was factually incorrect about his statement? The wikipedia entry shows him to be a progressive and community focused politician. If the intent was to disparage the man, then you failed. Common sense says that Iran should not have nuclear weapons. The culture of the rulers and much of its Shiite followers is that it is better to die than to live. This is the culture which gives us suicide bombers and which just the other day enabled Pakistani muslim militants to massacre 20+ Hindus in Kashmir of which many were children. You ignore the fact that they teach their children to believe that martyrdom death is better than living. Israel has demonstrated that it does not attack nations that ae at peace with it. You can criticize Israel for Gaza, but the reality is that if it had wanted to it could have wiped the place out in a few days, much as what Iran did to some Syrian cities, without any concern for non combatant casualties. Iran has invaded and murdered through direct sponsorship of militants and terrorist attacks. Your gymnastics of justification as you ignore Iran's responsibility for multiple wars is fantastic.; Syria: 600,000 dead, 14 million refugees. Kurdistan and associated Kurdish enclaves: Ongoing attempt at ethnic cleansing of Kurds, thousands dead. Sudan: 100,000+ dead, 5 million+ refugees. Iran is a sponsor and supplier of weapons to the SAF which is mass murdering black Sudanese. Yemen: Intervention by IRGC and sponsorship of Houthis, 150,000+ dead in ongoing war, 250,000+ in war induced famined, 4 million+ refugees Iraq: Ongoing active involvement of disruption of iraq civil government Gaza; Ongoing supply of weapons and sponsorship of Hamas The ignorance rests with you. These are the militant groups that are funded and supplied by Iran. They act on behalf of Iran and are located in countries where Iran seeks to disrupt and exert control; Lebanon: A state within a state that undermines the elected Lebanese government- Hezbollah (Party of God), Hezbollah ( Party of God Brigades) Lebanon, Israel, West Bank and Gaza: Palestinian Islamic Jihad (Harakat al Jihad al Islami al Filistin), Hamas Iraq: Undermining and attacking the elected Iraqi government; Asaib Ahl al Haq ( League of the Righteous), Badr Organization. Syria: Harakat Hezbollah al Nujaba (Movement of the Party of God’s Nobles), Kataib Sayyad al Shuhada ( Masters of the Martyrs Brigade), Zaynabiyoun Brigade Yemen: Ansar Allah (aka Houthis) With slogans like “Death to America, Death to Israel, Cursed be the Jews, Victory to Islam,” it should come as no surprise that Iran is Pakistan and Syria: Afghanistan: Fatemiyoun Division Bahrain: Saraya al Ashtar , as a sponsored unit of Iranian Guards, Saraya al Mukhtar none of the above are organizations focused on building a civil society.
  14. One article does not make a trend. It will soon be forgotten. The Indian Sea tsunami of Christmas Day 2004 was catastrophic. The Phuket tourist strip was washed away in some places and Patong's tourist economy knocked out. A year later, the time share and vacation unit owners were back for high season. 2 years later the tourist economy was up and running again, and 3 years later, tourist numbers had recovered. Khao Lak which was wiped out took about 4 years, and that was because a large part of the local population died. (4,000+ people including tourists). Yes, a building under construction collapsed. It may not have been because of the earthquake, but rather poor design or construction. The investigation is not even completed and you are making assumptions. No other buildings collapsed did they? Yes, there were some cracks and cosmetic damage, but there are no buildings collapsing now are there? Japan has weekly earthquake and tsunami scares and yet it is experiencing its biggest tourist season yet. The Chinese are used to powerful earthquakes, and the Bangkok damage was nothing compared to what they can have. Bangkok's risk of a catastrophic earthquake is much less than other nearby regions. The big pool of purchasers now is from Myanmar and still from China. Bangkok's quake risk is no worse and is usually much less than what they have at home. And, the consumer reality is that many prospective purchasers may not be aware of the earthquake or just do not care. People looking for a bolt hole or a place to park some questionable wealth don't care. The overall number of foreign condo unit purchasers is still relatively small and a minor quake in Thailand will not have a longstanding impact. What matters most will be currency exchange rates, and whether or not the purchasers will feel safe. They will still be purchasing condo units in seaside tourist destinations like Cha Am, Hua Hin, Surat Thani, Krabi, Phuket and Pattaya.
