Then, let's call it even. I don't care about what they say.

Good grief, what the heck is a "VAX disappointment"? ????

Love to see the reaction if Jesus turned up and started walking on the water .. 

Well, it is quite obvious.

He will be told to get the fock off the water because Thailand is a Buddhist country.

Obviously, you just ran in the wrong direction.

You're supposed to run along the waves and not towards them.

These rules are unfortunate as all the pandemic science has shown that outside is the safest place to be...if done responsibly, I.e., individuals or small groups observing sensible physical distancing. There has been little to no documented cases of virus spread from being outside. It's really shameful policymakers around the world can't seem to grasp this fact.

Well, they are politicians and not graspers. Comes with the job.

Over 200,000 deaths in India alone, rising rapidly, its not a number its human lives. Over 3 million million deaths worldwide and rising rapidly. 

 

I think they only one who needs schooling into the human cost is one who does not realize the impact this is having in the world. Yes a covid denier.

 

However let me give you the opportunity to come up with a solution to this crisis?

All is relative.

Be real. 3 million out of 7.5 billion have no real impact in this world accept personal tragedies of course .

I mean in direct comparison to the impact of the measures taken to deal with this crisis. It is tried to fight one evil with another. A solution can only be a compromise. The middle path. So far in 1.5 years no real progress has been made. The death rate is constantly rising as claimed by the "non deniers" and the global economy lies in shambles.

Failure in any respect. Obviously time for a new approach. Think out of the box.

If you really do not want to die by this virus eat poison or shoot yourself. Problem obviously effectively solved but... 

I can not heal this world, I do not try to heal this world and I do not want to heal this world but rather advocate the opinion that this planet would be better off without humankind. Humankind has proven in this "crisis" that it is unable to cope with a global problem and hence will eventually be doomed. With or without this virus.

Just let them get on with it then? Ignore the deaths, its just a blip, hospitals sending out SOS for oxygen while the patients inside are dying. Media hyperbole. I want to be scared? Who said I'm scared, I have compassion and I know what the science is around the pandemic, perhaps you could also show some humanity, or maybe not.

 

Obviously another covid denier that would rather ignore the suffering of others as its not touched you personally.

Not the material a genius is made of.

Humanity is a very strange word considering that humankind is the mother of all problems on this planet.

Nope, I am surely not. Stupidity among humankind is undeniable.

Here's some facts for you:

 

Photos show the devastation of the COVID-19 humanitarian crisis in India, where the crematoriums have been burning for so long they have started to melt

 

https://www.businessinsider.com/photos-indias-crematoriums-have-started-to-melt-so-many-bodies-2021-4#only-two-months-ago-india-the-second-most-populated-country-in-the-world-was-reveling-in-its-success-of-reining-in-the-spread-of-the-coronavirus-1

 

Nevertheless, the Indian mortality rate is just a mere 0.0145%. It appears that India is a lil short of crematoriums considering a population of about 1.4 billion people.

Think don't feel. There is no Bogeyman although the media always try to sell it to you.

"Neither nor. It is just an objective statement. Personal interpretation up to you."

 

I see deaths rising rapidly again globally, have you taken a look at India yet?

 

 

I just did and I reckon officially 0.0145% of the Indian population has died with or by the virus.

Is that a mitigation view or a denier view. You have me confused.  Research Long Covid and get back to us.

Neither nor. It is just an objective statement. Personal interpretation up to you.

Me thinks that the entire subject of work law liberalization has been misinterpreted by some foreign lawyers causing all the excitement and confusion.

The degree change has to be seen in respect to migrant workers coming to Thailand under MOU conditions and stay here on basis of Non-Immigrant L-A.

Previously, those people had to stick with one employer once they were permitted to work legally, one type of work and the employer was responsible for accommodation. Usually at the premises where they were allowed to work. 

Although they may have worked legally there activities were not in line with the law because manual labor and/or unskilled labor was exclusively reserved for those holding Thai nationality. This has been corrected now but obviously causing confusion. 

You may want to take a look at the subject of migrant workers in Thailand at the link Migrant Labours in Thailand

For "farang" and/or any other nationalities not falling under MOU there is only very little change. Actually, nothing to get exited about. Mainly short term activities to the benefit of Thailand and her people.

Simply said, this statement cannot hold to be true:

noo it doesn't!!!  electrocuted means electrocuted

 

you just assumed he died!

And the solution is:

Verb

electrocute (third-person singular simple present electrocutes, present participle electrocuting, simple past and past participle electrocuted)

1. (transitive) To kill by electric shock.

   He was electrocuted for his crimes.

2. (transitive, proscribed, informal) To inflict a severe electric shock (not necessarily fatal) upon.

Usage notes

• (Discuss⁽⁺⁾ this sense) Formally, the words electrocute and electrocution always imply fatality. Informally, however, these terms are rather often used to refer to serious but nonfatal electric shocks. Standard usage is to reserve electrocute and electrocution for fatal electric shocks, and to use shock or electric shock for nonfatal ones.

Source: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/electrocute

Not electrifing but comprehensible.

The best fortune teller is a brilliant mind but even this can not predict the unpredictable. Hence, it will come as it eventually comes with or without fortune telling or in other words there is nothing to worry about, honey coz this ain't change a thing. 

Do this vandalism job in Singapore and get your butt caned for sure as a reward. 

Sober or drunk doesn't make a difference 'coz just don't drink if you cannot control yourself afterwards.

What the problem with this people acting like barbarian.. that poor boy jus doing his job


Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect

Me thinks that adopting caning from Singapore might be the more appropriate answer to deal with these  kinds of acts that appear to get more and more common nowadays rather than just appealing to the culprit's better nature.

The latter just fails to work as also the school brawling problem showed most recently. Just vowing to be a better person paired with a wai simply does not do the job. In this case our PM appears to be betting on the wrong horse and therefore things seem to get worse rather than improving.

Just awful. I have no words. This rapist should NEVER be let out of jail. The premeditation, the targeting of underage girls, and the lack of any remorse.

Shame Thai prisons don't resemble the latim american ones as this lad's sentence would last only minutes

Don't estimate Thai prisons. Just put him in a prison with real men and let them know what he did.

The first one we took off the street looked like in the pic. Eventually he turned into the one shown in my avatar. Quite often recovery does not take long in the right environment. Hence, don't shoot him, treat him. Proper behavior in a Buddhist country. Therefore, the dog's name is also Bunmi.

Why so many "dog lovers" here on this post?

Get rid of the Soi dogs by whatever means......they're vermin!

They carry more disease than most other animals in Thailand.....personally, I despise them...I carry a bamboo pole and hit any that threaten me.......!

I won't stop in my vendetta to rid my Soi of these pests........making merit by feeding these vermin has sweet FA to do with buddhism!

Fair enough if there was something like reincarnation that you get reborn as a soi dog. Anyway, karma will certainly get you sooner or later when you hit any dog with a bamboo pole that you feel threatened by. Action causes reaction and some soi dogs may only be aggressive because there were mistreated in the past and not because there were infected by the rabies virus. 

Also one should bear in mind that this "vermin" was born here in Thailand without a choice while all those two legged foreign rattlers have even more than one. They may shop at any perfect soi dog free 7/11 in any other country of this planet. As easy it is.
