  1. 50 Baht a minute, what a rip off.

    Is the internet really that bad in Myanmar that VOIP won't work ?

    Yes.

    Was there twice early last year... no atm, no 7-11, no motorcycles allowed in Yangon city limits. Only crisp, flat, new US bills can be used in transactions along with the local currency. Same may apply for Euros, didn't use them to know for certain.

  2. So much for having his arms and hands in the air when he was shot. Just try holding up your arm with four bullet wounds in it. And the head shot being the last shot fits in with the story from witnesses that Brown was bum rushing the policemen when the policeman fired on him. It's spelled E-X-O-N-E-R-A-T-I-O-N.

    The cop was firing with vision from one eye... the kid cracked his socket just moments before.

  3. The Australian couple shall now hide behind anonymity laws designed to protect the identity of children in cases of high news interest.

     

     

    They need to be named, and to be bought before a court in order to be forced to accept the full consequences of the choices they made. 

     

    Oh yes, they should be pursued aggressively as if they left that baby in the forest alone... (extended profane rant).

  4.  

    Strange that something like that is not seen as a war crime. It did end the war of course.

     

    I am sure they did see the bombing of London as a war crime and not the fire bombing of Dresden.

     

    In war there is no good side.. the Brits, Germans Russians French Americans all executed POW's  But when I was young in war movies it was always the Germans doing it until I saw some good documentaries that showed both sides did it.

     

    At the Nurnberg Trials the mass bombing of cities was not, as far as I know, used as a war crime against the Germans or the Japanese. To accuse them of this would have been extreme hypocrisy seeing as what the British and Americans did to many German and Japanese cities was way worse.

     

     

    You've learned nothing about the nature of life on earth...

  5. Rudolph Hoess, Auschwitz's commandant, was, by his own admissions, history's greatest mass murderer.

    The reason he used at The Nuremberg Trials? - Just following orders.

    He was sent to the gallows in the grounds of Auschwitz on 16th April 1947.

    He admitted to killing as many as 3.5 million and his confession was the basis for the original plaque outside Auschwitz which claimed 4 million died there. That plaque has been removed and the new one reads 1.5 million instead of 4. Upon the collapse of the Soviet Union, their archives became available and it was proven that the most he had access to was 1.5 million.

    i was unaware that he was apart of the Nurnberg trials, I was under the impression that he was tried later as a part of the Auschwitz specific crimes against humanity.

    The confession Hoess signed was in English, a language which he did not speak. He and others were

    tortured to obtain confessions.

    An old American lawyer who was directly involved and present at war crimes trials told me that they

    did not dispense actual justice, but "victors justice." Some of the Allied judges admitted, in writing later in their lives, that the war crimes trials resembled Stalin's show trials more than anything else.

    Did anyone notice that the Germans and Japanese were never charged with bombing civilians?

    The reason for that was the Allies had done it too, and much, much worse.

    The U.S. chose to not criminally charge both German and Japanese MONSTERS it found useful (Nazi's

    who ran spy networks in Eastern Europe, and Japanese who performed horrific experiments on living humans. America desperately wanted the chemical/biological warfare data the Japanese had obtained).

    NASA's Werner von Braun, anyone?

    And the 'old American' lawyer's name is...?
