    Has bluesky site been shut down?

    No... watching it now.

    then select Bluesky from the little dropdown menu above the video screen.

    I like the demos protest music more than the reds.

    It's amazing that many people out protesting and Bluesky is the only one covering it. All the other channels are showing soap operas and transvestite comedy shows.

    Italian tourist beaten by two Thai teenagers

    in Hua Hin and Cha-Am News

    Now why would an older guy be having beer with a 15 and 16 year old boy, before trying to get them to come to his apartment?

    <deleted>?

    From this short news clip, how the hell are you able to establish the victim's age? For all YOU know, he may be 19, there is no mention of his age, and no mention that he was a lot older.

    Also, as others pointed out, there was no mention of him luring them to his hotel either, but in your sordid mind, you seem to KNOW that this was his intention.

    If you have been in Thailand any length of time, you either have had your eyes wide shut all this time.

    These youths obviously targeted him while he was in the bar and approached HIM and probably cadged a beer off him. Then disabled his bike to get him to follow them to their own bike with an offer of a lift home, then attacked him.

    Now don't you find this version a lot more logical?

    I have been in bars and been approached countless times by Thais much younger than me, and they strike up a conversation. Usually wanting a free beer. Does that make me a phedo? Normally I am with my wife. I am not up for drinking with young spunk trumpets.

    Maybe if karma is everything it is cracked up to be. Then one day you may find yourself half beaten to death over a few hundred baht, and heaven forbid a thread is started about it in TVF, because you would be labelled a pedophile... With a bit of luck, anyway.

    Goodness, I didn't mean to get your panties in such a bunch!

    As I see it, you are reading into the story a lot more than I am! :)

    And I have lived here a long time. But I don't normally drink out alone with strangers. I drink with my friends!

    An adult drinking beer with two minors......oh dear.

    My thoughts exactly on reading this. The guy doesn't sound like an innocent party.

     

     

    Perhaps your powers of presience are better than my own, but "The two offered to ride him to his hotel as he could not get his motorcycle started." doesn't say anything about him trying to get the boys to his apartment.

     

    This being Thailand, and with them not being shy in any way about outing foreigners for all the bad things that they do, do you not think they perhaps would have mentioned that if it happened?

     

    Sounds like "they" have not been caught yet. Maybe they will say he is  a perv.

    I'm definitely not condoning what they did to him, but I'm also not going to rely on his word as the truth of the matter.

    Abhisit says Tarit framed him, Suthep over 2010 riots

    in Thailand News

    Posted

    So no statement to claim that the charges themselves are bogus or that his orders were legal?

    I wonder if this guy is as smart as we are led to believe. Framed or not, where is the order that he gave to shoot unarmed civilians?

    Correction: mostly unarmed protestors with armed protestors interspersed taking pot shots at the army. As well, the protestors used rocket launchers, had snipers, were threatening to burn down BKK with a million liters of gasoline (see my sig), were raiding and holding hostages of patients in hospitals, threatened to derail the skytrain, burned down a shopping mall, raided a market and killed two market workers, burned up buses, threatened to set tankers of fuel on fire in the middle of town, destroyed city buses, ambushed the PM on several cases attempting to kill him, raided an international meeting in Pattaya with the intent to take hostages or possibly kill participants.

    The list really does go on and on, but I think it proves the point that the government had infinite patience with these thugs and let them kill and destroy things like dirty little spoiled children would do, until they decided it was time to end the nonsense. They gave the protestors plenty of warning, and when the police moved in they were shot at, so returned fire. The Reds decided at that point to act like mercenaries and paid the price. Now that it's over they want to be labelled protesters again. Sorry, guys, you can't have it both ways. Those of us who were here and saw everything go down know exactly what happened.

    I commend the anti amnesty protestors for how organized and peaceful they are. They show how to stage a protest, and not a mob scene. My fear is the red thugs are chomping on their bit to get in and smash things. Knowing them though that will be their default move.

    30,000 red-shirts coming to Bangkok

    BANGKOK: -- The United Front for Democracy which is bringing 30,000 red-shirt supporters to Bangkok this week promises that they would not embark on actions that would lead to the confrontation with anti-government protesters.

    Meanwhile, lest you forget how "peaceful" the red skirts are:

    I thought it was the size of your cake box that influenced Thai courts not the size of your support.

    And that red shirt in the top photo certainly seems to have a very large cake knife. sad.png

    It's weird, the mods deleted my original posting but your reply is still alive. I wonder what offended them about my post? At least it still lives in some capacity! :)

    Bid to curb violence against women

    I like how she supported the witch that had her son in law killed. Sure he was a bastard, but the law is the law and legal means should have been used. People can't be killing other people and just getting away with it. Who knows if that was the only reason she had him killed. And Pavena cuddling poor mother in law, the victim. crazy.gif

    Sound of whistle blowing can cause stress

    I was at Central World a few Xmases ago. They were having a little puppet show and all these kids were sitting on this carpet they had for them to watch the show. They were getting ready for the show, and lots of kids were sitting there. On both sides of them they had these massive speakers that were blaring at ear-piercing volume. I was a good 40 feet away and it bothered me. But these kids didn't even seem to notice it.
