Catholicism allows all sins to be confessed and forgiven. So the pedos could confess to another priest, who might also be one or not, and be forgiven. Plenty of Hail Mary's, roserie rubbing, and perhaps a bit of self whipping. And voila, good to go!
A thoroughly corrupt, very wealthy, society who have corrupted their version of religion and are now being exposed for the number of sadists, cruel, evil and sexually deviants that have been supposedly dispensing Christian charity and guidance.
Your first paragraph demonstrates a complete misunderstanding of the "Sacrament of Reconciliation" (aka "Confession"), and what is involved for both the penitent and the confessor.
The second is your personal opinion.
You see - horror of horrors - I am a Roman Catholic!

USA takes in over hundreds of thousands of legal immigrants a year.
Except I seem to recall that the Trumpeters basic case for their "beautiful wall" is that Mexico is far from being a safe place, full of people who are so dangerous that they must be kept out of the USA...

...this is a long term political fight that will drag on for months taking the country down a slippery path in which a distracted and bellicose Trump can do huge damage to America and its Worldwide interests.
1Unfortunately, I rather suspect that Mr Trump is such a stranger to reality that he will believe, in the scenario you outline, that he is innocent, that the people likely to impeach/convict him are "bad men, very bad men", and will do just that.

It's a roundabout that will never stop. Pay higher minimum wage and in around 3 months with price rises needed to support the rise your back to square one. Thais don't realize that any income rise has to be funded and the only way is in price rises... Greater efficiency is never going to happen sadly . Thais don't in the main work hard and you could argue why should they . The only way it will change is if they are rewarded fairly for working harder and more efficiently . Let's be honest it's not a minimum wage as such but a set standard wage or would seem like that
Yes a good point, Perhaps it should be retitled the "Universal Standard Wage".

The lottery provides a form of employment (perhaps better described as an occupation) and a basic income to a significant number of people who quite probably would otherwise be a charge on the funds for the destitute - and we all know how well that works don't we?
The two I buy from (at the behest of "best beloved" - numbers chosen by a method known only to her and her father), are an elderly lady and an (extremely pretty but sadly very thick) young lady. Both are, I would hazard, unemployable.
I know that "middlemen" are creaming off a lot of the profits. I appreciate that the printed tickets are cumbersome, outdated and quaint, but I quite like that, (perhaps because I am cumbersome, outdated and quaint). Does anyone think that an online lottery here will not have some group of people in the process of administering it who do not take a cut? I would rather that the profits at the point of sale should go to the old lady and the pretty simpleton rather than to Big C and 7/11.

What exactly means set up a company?
And how to proceed after 3 years with your visa?
Does both not give very much security for future investments.
Well, obviously, if your startup is successful and turning a profit after three years, your visa expires and the business is turned over to a Thai. No doubt that will be made clear to you - at the 2 year and 10 month point...

I think it is part of the national curriculum.oh u did not know that chinese is already beeing teached at the "better"thai schools ,our 6 year old is on its second year now!
Makes sense really, when you consider that China is by far the largest and most influential country in the region.
Much the same idea as British children learning French and/or German.

I should imagine that Alibaba will be able to come to an arrangement which allows them to use their own guides.Just wondering where all those Chinese speaking Thai tourist guides are going to come from.

One and a half centuries ago Great Britain built a huge empire, to a very large extent by rocking up at various places, and offering commercial deals which benefitted the local rulers. The economies and resources of these countries (colonies) were then used to trade within that empire, to the ultimate benefit of Britain. The local rulers were often left in place to run local affairs more or less as before. It was known as colonialisation.

Perhaps the deal is: we get you into Thailand, you pay us back over the next umpteen years.If they are so desperate and have no money ,where did they find the cash to come here?And don't forget we do know where your family live.

Farang think too much. Must go now, Mercedes are on the other line, questions about interior colour schemes for my new car...There are sooooo many things to comment on here that it is difficult to know where to begin!
First, if there is an intention to drastically improve the education levels of Thai people, you first have to improve the efficiency, effectiveness and honesty of the Ministry of Education; see the MANY recent stories on how massive amounts of money are stolen, then add 'the tip of the iceberg' theory to the total.
Second, while it is a nice idea (in theory) of up-grading people's baseline skills and abilities, that simply doesn't work well when the baseline is so low. If you want to see an improvement in the skills of a 20 year old, your first need to inoculate basic skills at a younger age so that there is something to build on.
Okay.
So, a MAJOR new educational program, starting from scratch, is going to up-grade the skills of 200,000-300,000 current workers and generate 100,000(?) new workers with high-level skills all within 5 years. Er... who is going to be running this program? It is an extremely valid question...
Further, I can't help but notice that there is a HUGE pot of money here, and based on a cursory reading of Thai history, there is a very high-likelihood that a very large amount will be siphoned off. And, to add further pain and misery, the likelihood of achieving the designated numbers of highly-skilled workers is... wait for it... unlikely or plain impossible.
I applaud the government for trying to create and/or improve the abilities of Thai workers; an investment in education is almost always a good thing. I say "almost" as the implementer of the project, I assume the Ministry of Education, has not demonstrated that it has the capacity to achieve the results hoped for.
In other words, a GIANT pot of money is going to the east, coincidentally the home region of many of the coup leaders.
Hmm...

Only the chosen few will gain from this & they are already awash with cash. Local businesses will continue to suffer, the economy will then suffer .... then the people will continue to suffer more & more hardships. There has got to be more control of who gets the lion's share of all this ...... & it must be the people of Thailand that benefit, but knowing how greedy, selfish & the lack of concern for others in the Thai mindset here ...... the already "have's" will not allow it. Thailand will be in real jeopardy if they allow this to continue ..... com'on government put your foot down!!
You forget, this a government of the "haves", by the "haves" for the "haves".
The "haves" have sold out to Mr May, so they "have" a little bit more.

Why be upset when you are being entertained by a comedian. No substance in his posts but shallow rant. You really can’t be serious with someone who derive his information from his gf and a cast of 30.
Hey, no Eric, her views matter - she lives in Bangkok, as do her 30 mates.
Most of the 60 + million Thais don't live in Bangkok, and as we all know, their views don't matter...

Well of course it won't, the money won't be going near Thai banks.
This "surge" of tourists will use Alibabas's travel agency, Chinese airlines, book their hotels online, book any tours online. None of this will have any impact on the Thai local economy because the bookings and money spent will all be with various of Alibabas's operations, even down to the means of payment!
And they were worried about "Zero Dollar Tours"!

No idea how much you know about the educational system in Thailand. All government, primary, and secondary only have summer school because Songkran (New Year) was a few weeks ago and the new school year starts in a few weeks.

As far as I am aware the "Summer Schools" run from a week or so after the end of the semester (mid-March) up until Songkran. The schools are closed between Songkran and early May.

How do you understand the Australian pension system to work?
The "bit" from my post you quoted was, in turn, a quote from "Hauptman UK's" original post. Really you ought to be asking him.
Personally, I have only a vague idea how the Australian Pension system works, I do know someone from New Zealand who apparently doesn't get a pension at all because he lives here.

We frequently get sent policy proposals from CCO to discuss and obtain feedback from members.
A hot topic over the last year has been the suggestion that expats should have their state pension rights restricted. Somebody in CCO has obviously looked at what the Aussies are doing because the proposed changes appear very similar to how I understand the Australian system to work.
How very interesting. I recall you made a similar post a few months ago - back in October 2017 in fact. Perhaps you will allow me to quote you:
" snip - I think TVF members from the UK need to be aware that there is growing hostility in the UK toward returning expats. Probably partly fuelled by fears that, post Brexit, there could be sizeable numbers of older expats returning to the UK from Europe.
I am a member of the Conservative Party and at a recent constituency meeting that I attended we had a government minister as a guest speaker. The topic was immigration and Brexit. There were a lot of comments about returning expats and some discussion about stopping pensions to expats after one year overseas. We were told that NZ and Aus do something similar and its being looked at by DWP.
Certainly there are big shifts in public opinion going on right now."
So, six months ago it was an unnamed government minister, now it is a policy document from Conservative Central Office which has been sent to your branch for consultation?
If you are going to post these stories, (and frankly I think it is just that, stories) you really ought to get the details consistent "Herr Hauptman". I am not a member of The Conservative Party (I very much doubt whether they would have me) nor indeed of any other political party, but I don't think a minister would announce proposals on such a sensitive national topic as pension reform during a visit to a local branch; nor frankly can I imagine Conservative Central Office sending documents on such reform, as a consultative exercise, to a local party.
I think that you are trolling, "Herr Hauptman".
Anyway, I am minded to Email the Conservative Party, and ask them to confirm whether they have been discussing these proposals with their local parties, either during ministerial visits or by issuing consultative documents. The reply might be quite interesting. I don't suppose that you could let me know which branch of the party you are a member of? It would make your Central Office's task in formulating a reply so much easier!
No? I didn't think so...
