The Guardian? ???? Their opinion was also that Amber Heard was an 'imperfect victim'. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/may/22/metoo-is-over-if-we-dont-listen-to-imperfect-victims-like-amber-heard That's an interesting way to describe someone who fabricated a sexual assault to destroy the reputation of an innocent man. Forgive me if I dismiss their ridiculous editorial pieces. Their opinion on Depp's future career and Heard's career as an 'activist' are irrelevant. She'll be lucky to escape perjury charges after lying about donating her divorce settlement to charity.

I would disagree. Prior to this 2022 case Johnny Depp had been labelled a domestic violence abuser. Now, even though his drug and alcohol issues have been exposed during the trial, he has been cleared of the accusation of domestic and sexual violence. I'd rather be known as someone who drinks too much and takes drugs than a wife beater and perpetrator of sexual assault. Depp has experienced huge public support during the trial. Countless friends and ex partners spoke glowingly under oath about his decency as a human being. He had won his reputation back in the court of public opinion long before yesterday's verdict. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him landing major roles going forward.

Hair cutting at Thai schools: Student attacks teacher at Loei school
JonnyF replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
Yes I am well aware we are not in the US. This thread is about Thailand and it may have escaped your attention that there are a lot of guns here and people get shot here for very minor reasons. I recall two in the last week. One because some guys turned up in a noisy cement truck and another because a stranger asked someone for a beer. Again, not in the US. In Thailand. You may also be aware that loss of face is no joke here. Forcibly cutting the hair of someone's child in front of their classmates would fall into that bracket so my point is maybe it would be prudent to stop this humiliating practice before a parent having a bad day turns up at the schoolgates and fixes the problem themselves, Thai style.- 53 replies

I followed this case pretty closely and it was good to see justice served. Amber Heard was clearly lying. For an actress, she was incredibly unconvincing on the stand. Now her career is in tatters, pretty much unemployable due to the wave of public opinion against her and she will likely be made bankrupt by the damages awarded. She could have just taken the 7 million divorce settlement and carried on with her life of luxury and Hollywood career. Not too smart that one.

Hair cutting at Thai schools: Student attacks teacher at Loei school

This doesn't surprise me. It was just a matter of time in fact. It also wouldn't surprise me if a gun is used at some point in the future. They need to stop this humiliating practice immediately before someone gets seriously hurt, either by a student or a parent. People get killed here for a lot less than humiliating/assaulting someone's child.- 53 replies

It does seem that Tourists are somewhat exempt from the stupid rule. Maybe I need to get my hair braided and slip on a pair of elephant pants next time I'm out and about in BKK. Seriously though, clearly someone with connections has an interest in manufacturing/selling these useless things. LOS has turned into LOM. Very sad that the decline of Thailand continues unabated.

Don't smoke weed and drive - it's the same as DUI of alcohol

I'm getting the impression they really haven't thought this through properly.- 104 replies

These are simply toys for the Generals and a mechanism to take some brown envelopes as part of the deal. Hence, weapons are not required. I see them flying over our farm near Korat. Probably got one of their gigs along for the ride. Unfortunately and somewhat predictably, they cannot fly them properly so I am always a bit nervous when they are over the top of our property in case it comes down and explodes into a ball of flames, like this one did in March.

Maybe it's nothing to you. But to other people, the widening wealth gap under your administration has very tangible effects. Real impact on their lives. As for what you were reading on the plane, I would have expected a comic tbh. But maybe anything more complicated than a blank piece of paper would have overloaded your simple mind. In fairness, maybe the photo was taken before he was handed the crayons.

CCSA Expects to Announce Covid an Endemic Disease Soon
JonnyF replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
An announcement about a possible announcement. Riveting. Let us know when it's ACTUALLY declared Endemic. Thanks... -
Yeah I regret getting the third. It made me really ill. It was much worse than Covid in fact, which I still caught despite having 3 jabs and being compliant on the mask wearing charade.

Let's say we're going to act in good faith, then try to annex one part of the UK from the rest of the UK by abusing an agreement that we pretended was there to maintain peace on the island of Ireland. Makes for great future relations.

There is photographic evidence of it, she admitted to it and apologized, then was formally warned by the police. Not every crime results in a fine you know. Sometimes it's jail time, sometimes community service, sometimes a fine, sometimes police choose to warn instead. Doesn't mean the crime didn't take place. They wouldn't have warned her for a crime if it didn't take place. In this case the police chose to warn instead of fine in this case, so you claim the crime didn't happen ????. That's what called 'lack of logic derived from extreme political bias'.
