No diversity or inclusion, no alphabet people, thanks for mentioning it, i'll give it a go. -

clivebaxter replied to CharlieH's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Watched a lot of these crime doco's but never one quite this harrowing. How anyone could want to de fund the cops after watching this I don't know. So many serial killers all at the same time was pretty weird. Well worth a watch. -

But it does here, what the penalties are in other countries is of no concern. -

So why get involved in drugs where the sentence is often life? -

Young and pretty ones never seem to be inside for the full sentence do they? Maybe should could pretend to go crazy like Corby in Bali, that worked for her. -
Cynical attempt to re write our social history and convince people England has always been diversly awash with black people. They seem to up the lies all the time, black Ann Bolyn, black Queen Charlotte now black vicars and families in a 1955 English village. If you watched it on itv half the people in the ads would be black as well!

What is the good news about living in Thailand now?
clivebaxter replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Air pollution, terrible driving standards, poor education system, mostly moronic Tv, corruption, undemocratic and the archaic fuedal social system as well as the vast wealth inequality? -
Thai TV hardly covered the Olympics - what else will we miss?

Thai singing shows do not put people on to make a mockery out of them, that is the sort of nonsense you see on western shows. At least not that I have ever seen myself. I have been watching them for over 25 years and been to recordings of them at Tv studios. While some are less than great they are not deliberately selecting people who cannot sing. I'm only talking about Thai music contests featuring luktung, morlam, phua chee wit, or rarely, lukrung, not Thais singing western material or string, that is usually awful IMO. -
Killing animals is not against Thai culture they kill thousands a day to eat. It's against the nonsense from a certain institution, but killing them is the only serious long term solution, it's been show to work in other countries. CNVR only works in small environments like Phuket, it's supporters only have excuses why it does not work countrywide. Meanwhile the soi dog population continues to grow.

How can you judge only 50% know what they are doing when you don't know the song, the original singer or the style and what the requirements are of a particular genre ? Maybe you should ask the gf for a lesson on some background, even if it's not important to you it obviously is to her. -

Mink just won the womens world snooker championship but hardly a mention, so your claim is not true. -

That's the x factor etc not Thai shows. You must have seen a lot so can you post a few examples of shows made from Thais who can't sing, according to you. -

Why would they want to be famous internationally? I once asked a famous singer if she was interested in being promoted on the BBC world music spot, she said no. -

Singing contests are the best thing about Thai Tv, apart from the backstory sentimental settings they like, along the lines of poor family living in a shack, dads got cancer mum working 100 hours a week selling noodles etc. It does help if you know the songs, who sang them originally and who the judges are. Thais have an enormous talent for song and dance and many famous stars owe their success to talent shows. Today they still throw up some remarkable talents, even kids. This girl nong guitar is one of them, singing a famous Pumpuang song-
