What's your point? Are you saying that the vessel sank because its Captain was a woman? The vessel was a used oil and gas survey vessel and repurposed as a hydrographic, diving and salvage ship. It underwent a power refit in 2020. The initial information indicates that the vessel was without power in rough seas and inclement weather when it was forced into the reef. The subsequent fire is unusual. One does not have to be a genius to expect that the vessel power system most likely failed and suffered a catastrophic event. It is a scenario seen previously on multiple vessels in the US, British, Russian, Chinese and Canadian navies. How about waiting for the board of inquiry to present its findings before blaming the ship captain's gender?

Thai Hostages Still Missing a Year After Hamas Attack
Patong2021 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
False claim. You post to draw attention away from the fact that the Gazans violently and cruelly murdered 39 Thais and abducted 26. Where is your concern for the Thai victims? Thai workers departed left following the October massacre. A small number returned in June at the request of the Thai workers, because the wages and working conditions are better than in Thailand. Thai workers earn 8-10X more in Israel than in Thailand. Your claim is a negative myth perpetuated by people who wish to present Israel in a negative light. The reality is that migrant farm labour encounter wrongful treatment worldwide. It happens in Canada, Sweden and USA too. This neither excuses, nor explains away such event. However, the reality is that such events are infrequent and when they are discovered they are addressed. Israel relied on Thai farm workers and was not in a position to discourage their presence. They did the jobs previously performed by Palestinians who resided in Gaza and the West Bank. The labour treatment complaints are in some cases justified and reported by the workers themselves. In other cases are reported by inspectors or labour unions. There are worker hotlines and site inspections. Israel, like the EU, USA and Canada by law requires that the migrant labour dwellings be inspected and notices be posted in worker residences. For example this circular is provided to farm workers; Agriculture workers' Rights January 2024: LaOved – Worker's Hotline is a non-profit organization that provides advice, guidance and legal aid to workers. The following rights are guaranteed by Israeli law to all workers in Israel whether Israeli or not, with or without a visa. If any of the rights where not given/ paid to you, please contact Kav LaOved. We cannot help you receive your money from the employer if you contact us a few days before you leave. Please contact us at least a month earlier https://kavlaoved.org.il/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Agriculture-workers-ENG-1.2024.pdf Some of the complaints come from groups who have a vested interest in lodging these complaints, i.e. Labour and social activist groups in Israel. others are politically motivated These complaints mirror those seen in the EU and Canada/USA. Mistreatment of migrant labour is unacceptable, but farms are labour demanding and the conditions seem onerous to those not used to hard work. The treatment of migrant labour in israel is no better or worse than what we see in the western world and is still much better than that seen in the Arab Gulf, Turkey, SE Asia and in Thailand itself. That is because there are labour protection laws in Israel that are enforced and upheld by an independent judiciary. How about some concern for the Thai victims of the Arab initiated and organized massacre? Why were Thais murdered? They were obviously farm workers and not Israelis. Why were the Thais abducted and tortured? -
The FOX network readily admits that many of its shows that disseminate the the most exaggerated stories are not NEWS or INFORMATION productions. They offer the OPINION and COMMENTARY of the anchors/hosts. Some of their hosts have been forced to leave when they were caught in their deceit. Examples are Tucker Carlson, Bill O'Reilly and Lou Dobbs. Two of the most recent deceptive claims were exposed when Fox News was sued for defamation in 2021 by two voting machine companies alleging the network's hosts and guests knowingly promoted falsehoods that voting machines were rigged to deny Donald Trump's reelection in the 2020 presidential election. Fox News agreed to pay $787.5 million to resolve the defamation suit filed by Dominion Voting Systems over the network's promotion of misinformation about the 2020 election. The Smartmatic case is still in process. FOX's own managers and Rupert Murdoch admitted that the claims were unfounded.

Condoleeza Rice would be unacceptable to many because of her status as a single woman. She reportedly had a cat named Sheba and co-owned a home with another female faculty member when she taught at Stanford. She is from Alabama and there are many people in the home state who will never vote for anyone who has her pigmentation.

Ok. And your point is what? That the claims made by people who insist that vaccines are bad are valid and should not be questioned? We all saw the fraud that successfully conned people into believing that there was a link between childhood vaccines and autism. Even when it was exposed and the man responsible for the fraud admitted it, the proponents of the "conspiracy" claims and nonsensical claims refused to retract or to acknowledge the fraud. Robert Kennedy Jr. is still pushing his autism claims and there are still tens of thousands of people who accept the claims despite it being shown to be a fraud. There comes a time, when such people can be ignored and be told to be quiet. If they don't want the vaccine, fine, let them deal with the outcome and leave the rest of us alone. If they contract polio or their kids are brain damaged, let them deal with it without government handouts and the demand for sympathy from the rest of us.

Yes, he is involved in some large and important projects. However, a large part of his success is owed to other people, particularly the people who have come up with the innovations that he makes his money on. Take Tesla for example. Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning created Tesla in 2003. Elon Musk provided fund raising and oversight, but did not create the innovation. That is not to detract from his accomplishments, but to point out that he is often credited for the visions of others. He is successful at the assumption of other people's genius and the execution of the details. In terms of making money he is one of the best. Unfortunately, as a human being he is not particularly nice. The man is obnoxiously arrogant and lacks the humility of people like Warren Buffet or Jamsetji Tata.

When did the US stop deporting unauthorized immigrants because the last I saw, the US was still deporting people. -
Israel Hamas War the Widening Middle East Conflict

Dead man walking. It is not a question of if he will be unalived, but when. They will find him because he has enemies within his own people. -
Easy to do. A little dab will do and off they go to the races. Males have to maintain that tower of power. Even if women have to use vaginal lubricant, the amount needed is certainly far less and makes for less of a mess than what men must undertake when they wish to engage in carnal relations with other men. There is a reason why some gay clubs are called Crisco discos.

And yet none of the promoters of the controlled demolition claims have been able to demonstrate how it was achieved or can even demonstrate the events they claim. There is a reason why the orders and societies of professionals like architects, engineers and chemists reject your claims and it is based on scientific fact.

You were not surprised that the first two to criticize the article are associated with "conspiracy" claims were you? Considering the claims you make and the narrative you spew, it is not hard to see where you get your inspiration, right comrade? Assange was not and has never been a journalist. He was a cyber criminal who made his living from hacking and the use of the information stolen.

Danish man stabs himself with medical knife in Bangkok hospital
Patong2021 replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Really. Is he a friend of yours? You seem to know his life story. For all you know he might of been an IT worker. Well compensated and seemingly functional. Sometimes they just lose it. How would anyone know otherwise? -
Down under or Thai? Aussie mum trades Oz for Land of Smiles
Patong2021 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
She will find out the hard way. Let's visit with her in 2 years, then 5 years and if she lasts, 10 years. She will eventually tire of the lack of potable water. Drinking out of plastic bottles with all the micro plastics, having laundry that smells rank after the heavy laundry detergent perfume wears off etc. is her future. 😁
