How come Americans only assassinate good presidents/leaders?

2 million pills is a small shipment nowdays, Id say it was a diversion to keep the army busy while 10 million or so went a different route.  Looks as though the army was informed beforehand and ambushed the diversionary shipment hence no casualties and they came out the heros.

You can't blame the students the failure lies squarely with teachers and their obvious lack of skill and or knowledge in actual teaching

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.  I taught for a very large chain of private schools in Bangkok for 10 years and am certain that as soon as school directors/management start considering schools as educational institutions instead of cash cows things will improve dramatically.   So much valuable school time and resources are wasted on the school promoting itself with activities such as Open days, Sports days, Parents days etc etc.  Whats wrong with for example Sports Days?  Nothing is wrong with Sports day.  What I objected to was losing my students for the last period each day for 3 weeks so they could practise cheering??  Thats right, 15 hours wasted on looking good for the parents.  That is a tiny example of what goes on daily right across the board.

Schools also need to pay real salaries if they want real teachers.  Some teachers today are earning less today than when I started 20 years ago.  Sure there are some bad teachers but in my experience its only a very small proportion, there are many fine teachers out there who are unfortunately hamstrung by the schools.

I cant really speak about Government schools but from what I hear the situation is the same.  After I retired and moved to Isaan I was offered a job in a local government school.  I refused saying I was retired but the director kept coming back week after week with an increase in salary and a reduction in the hours I would need to 'attend'.  He finally gave up after he reached the figure they were paying the previous teacher who unbeknown to him, I knew previously.  The director had been skimming the teachers salary and couldnt care less what was taught so long as a white face was seen around the school from time to time.

Nothing will change.

Ryan & Kinzinger, career politicians (20 & 12 yrs respectfully) and simply part of the problem.  

 

Cheney ... what a joke.

 

A bit telling when your own party casts you aside.  

 

The old guard has to go, stop reelecting incumbents, if you want change, as they've failed the people for decades, while enriching themselves.

The people of the US have failed themselves.  How can almost 50% want this incompetent egotistical pathological liar in office, I mean its not like anybody doesnt know.

Not a hope in hell, Thailand [as have many countries] a love affair with plastic.

I've never seen a country that uses so many plastic bags for goods, food and even drinks.

Everything is wrapped, served, eaten, drunk or delivered in plastic

And it almost becomes an arguement if you refuse a bag or get laughed at for trying to "save da worl"!!

This is all just a big show.  Yes, they'll all be there at centre stage "grilling" the police hospital reps but of course it will be found that Mr Thaksin truly is too ill to leave hospital and for reasons of privacy the detaills of his ailments will not be released.  Furthermore, he must remain in hospital under constant care at taxpayers expense until at least February when, coincidently, he will be pardoned.  Next!

What are the chances of these machines tearing off arms or legs as we have seen with other machines at the airport?
