The OP was refering to mopeds and quads.

By definition, a moped has both a small petrol engine (normally not more than 50cc) as well as pedal power. I don't recall seeing these anywhere in Thailand.

I think he meant what we call in Oz "stepthroughs" which are Honda Waves etc., 100-125cc in engine capacity.

Huh? What are you trying to say?

I like Bangkok Airways because I am a big unit and the space between the rows of seats (leg room) is more than most other Asian Airlines. They deserve the awards that they have won this year, so expansion of their services is great news!

Not that unlikely then?

Nope. The Chinese will ensure that the donated money goes to exactly what it was meant for.

And $15 million to the Palestinians. Have the Israeli's been warned that new rockets should be incoming?

I was waiting for someone in the pro-israel brigade to post something ridiculous like this, and you are the first clown to do so. It is not going to happen Bassosa.

I hope as much international attention is paid to this incident as to the boys in the cave, to ensure disasters like this are not repeated. 

 

Dont let the world think that Chinese tourists’ lives count for less than Thai footballers.

On the television here in China at the moment Classic Ray, the news bulletins are putting the boat incident before the Thai footballers.

I bet Kushner whispers pro-israeli things into Trump's ear every night.

When I drive in the country , lots of insects hit my windscreen and die, leaving greenblatt everywhere!?

The Turkish president was initially marked as a great hope to connect Islam to democracy. In practice, Erdogan was discovered as an anti-Semitic slanderer, and as a demagogue who sells his people illusions about the revival of the Ottoman Empire. 

In the last 15 years, when Erdogan served as prime minister and president, he has systematically destroyed the most sophisticated - some will continue to say demonic method - almost all the centers of power that might have posed a threat to his Islamist rule.

His wild incitement systems against Israel are a prime example of this. However, the "refugee crisis" through which he flooded Europe with illegal immigrants and forced the "old continent" to his will. At the end of the 19th century, the colonial powers referred to the corrupt and degenerate Ottoman Empire as "the sick man of Europe." Turkey of today has developed another, more disturbing disease.

Erdogan's survival in power has so far been possible not only because of his political abilities, which should not be taken lightly, but also because of the weakness of the opposition - which Erdogan always knew to exploit for his own purposes. And if Erdogan does not achieve his dream today - an absolute victory in the presidential and parliamentary elections, one hopes that the opposition and the population in Turkey will be able to unite around another candidate in the second round of presidential elections so that Turkey can be saved before it is too late....

Where did you copy this from?

You sensitivities do not seem to include similar posts supportive of your own views.

Basically I hit the "like" button for those whose point of view I agree with-even you sometimes Morch:)

I don't like to type long posts so that is why I don't include POV's from other posters.

Identifiable in uniform? What  uniform? She was wearing a white coat

Her mother has been shown on the television showing her blood stained white garment with the medical emblem on it and the hole that the bullet created.

I find your language when you type posts to be very extremist, radical and often inhuman. You need help.

Israel's IDF was justified in shooting her.

Send off?

Your minority view (Israel's IDF was justified in shooting her.) is repulsive.

Those who think like you are a big part of the problem.

Good, no more nonsense about Israel from you.

No retreat. No surrender. Get back to your bikie gang.

Than allow me to comment, over 170 of mortar shells have been lobbed into civilian targets in Israel in less than 24 hours

Then........

How many bullets, teargas cannisters, tank shells and missiles (from the IAF) have been fired in a similar 24 hour period by Israeli troops? I am asking you seeing you seem keen to compile statistics.

Of course most of the Palestinian home made rockets without any guidance systems do no damage except make a small hole in a field. How many Israelis have been killed or injured in this current protest? 0?

Just another  attacker who got too close to the violent confrontation and paid with her life.

Again you somehow twist the truth to come up with the word "attacker" when she was going to help one of her countrymen. She was armed with dressings and bandages.

 I think the term nurse may have been a translation error if she was in fact a volunteer medic.

“I told her it was dangerous to approach [the fence] but she answered that she was not afraid to die and wanted to help the young man,” a fellow medic told Gaza reporters, according to Haaretz.

Help the young man. Somehow you translate this as a terrorist act?

Why do you think this? What is your vision for East Jerusalem?

This "war' that has been going on for a long, long time, is very disproportional on all levels.

Morch, unfortunately I am very busy at the moment, and while I have been finding the time to occasionally post on here, I will go through my files to refute your accusations when I have more free time.

Two out of the four sources linked aren't Israeli.

The Sydney Morning Herald has many pro-Israeli journalists and the Washington Post is often accused by peace groups of presenting biased opinions that whitewash the imbalance of the 2 sides.

Morch, I appreciate that you try to present a balanced view sometimes, but your sources for "weapons in the ambulance" stories appear to be all pro-Israeli publications.

Calling the deceased a nurse is a lie because she wasn't a nurse. 

Where is your evidence for this? Do you want the Palestinians to just give in, lay down and die? They are different to you and have every right to protest and resist!
