Is this any surprise really? This was inevitable regardless of anything America does or does not do. Big brother China is a key member of BRICs, so of course Thailand will join.

Keep the fantasy alive. Going to suck so badly for you and the rest of the leftwits when the sky does not fall, America becomes more of a economic powerhouse and the mid terms toss all the rest of the commie leftwits out of American polotic.

About as factual as a unicorn crapping skittles while leprechauns pass out pots of gold.

So let me get this straight. They beat the sh*t out of this elderly couple and it was all caught on CCTV. The assailants confessed to the crime only later to cry about how they hurt their hands (superficial injuries) by beating the sh*t out of this couple and mental distress by facing the repercussions of their crime. Only to file counter charges about their own criminal activity to get the elderly couple imprisoned? What a clown show!

Another example that China is pulling all the strings of their pupets.

I did not take it as a provocation, that is a drastic assumption on your part. I took it as a joke hence my joke in what I said about 90day PO and mirror. It's all good though, you do you.

Compared to what? Chinese? Russians? Britts or Islaelies? In 8 years of being here and having to see my PO every 90 days for the last 8 years, I have seen 2 Americans. One of the two was myself in the mirror as I washed my hands.

Cry me a freaking river. I will worry about the local peace when they stop driving fruit trucks up and down the street blasting 5 bullhorns about the price of their product at 5 am. Or when they stop the political truck from basting campaign ads from dawn till dusk. Or when they crack down on locals racing their hopped-up mopeds with after-market mufflers up and down the streets at all hours of the night.

Zero accountability for this joker! But go after all the people bringing money into your country and let criminals like Thraksin make a mockery of the Thia judicial system. (golf clap)

You see people like Thaksin and his crime family making a mockery of the Thai justice system and then they expect expats to take the law seriously here?

What a great idea, offer free rides instead of policing gross polluters like all those tricked-out minitrucks that bellow out 5 pounds of soot every time they step on the gas. Or stopping people from burning their trash on the side of the roadways. Or doing proper maintenance on all the buses, city trucks, and big rigs. Yup o, the free rid will solve everything...

How embarrassing. Myanmar invaded Thai waters, destroyed Thia citizen's property, kidnapped and murdered them. So what does Thailand do? Send a strongly worded letter! Way to bend over and take it without lube.

All is well and good until China starts setting up its own police stations in Thailand and starts "disappearing" anyone it considers a dissident. Just like they have done in Brazil and many other countries.

In the US many states consider this murder or manslaughter at the very least and you will be tied as either or.

You are correct. Motorcycles are not allowed on that street there are signs posted to that effect. I take that street every week when I visit the Chulabourne hospital. Also, the driver of the car should not be on the road. Although motorcycles are not allowed on that street the driver should have checked their blindspot before attempting the lane change. It is defensive driving 101!
