There's no way that snake weighs 50kg. It's more like 50 pounds at that length.

Hamas terrorists wear civilian clothes, like cowards, and hide in the hospitals and schools.  What do you expect?  Hamas leaders, bigger cowards, hide in Qatar with their stolen billions from the palestinians.  Those tunnels took years to build and no one noticed anything? The palestinians see the terrorists amongst them yet say nothing.  They are all complicit.  Hamas give themselves up, release all hostages and it all stops.  Assume you are an infidel, a non believer in Islam.  Know what your desired destiny is? You should be thanking Israel but too influenced by the propaganda from Al jazeera.

Hamas is derfinitrly not innocent in this one, but Israel is equally as much to blame! You can twist and turn that for as long as you want, but it won't change the fact and there's absolutely NOTHING I'd like to thank them for, apart from showing their true colors, which finally backfired and the world is waking up to it! 

Hopefully he gets the 25!

What about pistols at 20 paces? Wasn't that popular?

I prefer swords because you have to get up close and it's you and your skills versus your opponent. Guns are too easy! Also, a "zipper" on your body, after they've stitched you up, looks way more impressive than a bullet hole. 🤪

Aaaaaaawwwww! What a massive loss for human rights, freedom of speech and mankind in general!

Because of people like him, I wish there was a hell for them to burn in for all eternity! 

Because they don't have to hide out of fear of antagonizing the hyper masculine super-straight. They also don't get harrassed, laughed or sneered at in Thailand. They can just be themselves, as it should be. 

There's absolutely nothing sexy about that guy whatsoever!

Since alcohol and cigarettes have no medical use, and they pose definite health risks to people of all ages, then just ban those completely. In fact, ban anything that has no medical use. Hub of bans. 

Alcohol actually does have a medicinal purpose, it's used as a disinfectant. I agree, though, if alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should be cannabis.

please stay on topic. This post is about weed. duh

Well, if someone wants to ban weed when alcohol and cigarettes are legal and do way more damage then cannabis then it's a very valid argument to bring them up. Booze is even worse than heroin when it comes to the damage it does to the addicted and their social environment! It's the epitome of hypocrisy!

So 4% of the population are committing 18% of the murders?

 

Surely that can't be correct?

 

The numbers I gave you are from the UK government.

Like to see this knife crime graph over-layed with an graph of ethnic growth in the area. Pretty sure the line will be quite comparable. Seems more blacks the more knife crime, more asians the more rapes and sex abuse, more muslims more terrorism. Go ahead , prove me wrong

Right,  because the fine white English men don't commit any crimes whatsoever...

In the 3 year period from 2017 to 2019 70% of the murders in the UK were committed by white guys, 18% by Black's, 9% by Asians and 3% by "other" ethnicities.

I doubt that there has been a major shift since 2019 when it comes to ethnicity, which means the majority of murders committed in the UK is still done so by white people. 

You need to get off the race hate train!

Yes have full paperwork original invoices etc etc but they were purchased in the UK

In that case the potential buyer in Thailand would have to declare import taxes on them, which will probably affect the price they'd be willing to pay for them, if they want to buy them at all. You can try your luck at MBK center. They sell used watches on the first or second floor at the opposite end of the building from the sky train station. 

Sorry, but zero sympathy from me whatsoever for this guy. He committed 47 offenses in 17 years, he was convicted of 22 of them, and he committed 17 of them in just one year. Some people just never learn their lesson, him having been one of them, and then they cry when they won't let them out again. Should've thought about his actions and their potential consequences beforehand!

... "he was convicted of grievous bodily harm and handed an imprisonment for public protection (IPP) sentence—a sentence with a minimum term but no end date"

 

That not self explanatory enough ? 

 

Along with more than a few details left out...

 

"In 2003, Rider was jailed for assaulting their father. He was later released and, Mahon says, went on to clean his life up and find a girlfriend. But in 2005, while still on licence for the earlier offence, he was arrested again after assaulting a colleague and given an IPP sentence with a minimum tariff of 23 months.

 

Mahon, a nurse from Durham from whom he was estranged, only found out he was serving an IPP sentence after he died. She said she had never heard of them before and was stunned that it meant the length of his punishment lay in the hands of a parole board rather than a judge.

 

She is now campaigning for the cases of all IPP prisoners to be reviewed. “I do not condone what Scott has done. In 17 years, he committed 47 offences and was convicted of 22. But I think these sentences are inhumane and they need to be abolished. To get a 23-month sentence and serve 17 years… how can they justify it?” Mahon said."   (source)

 

Not exactly someone I want walking around in society.  Convicted of 22 crimes, in 17 years, more than one a year.   Career criminal comes to mind,  with 2 violent assaults, last one while on 'license' for assault, and then commits another.  I guess the first 21 conviction didn't teach him anything.

 

And sis now a crusader, though I'm getting the impression, she distanced herself from him (estranged) , as didn't even know he was sentenced 'IPP'.   Guess she didn't visit much.   Not much hope when your family abandons you.   Big surprised he off'd himself 

 

I love this part .... "Rider’s sister said that the sentence robbed her brother “of the chance to have a family and the chance to turn his life around”.

 

Actually, he got 21 chance, but simply chose to ignore them 

 

How about a story about the guy in jail, apparently forever, for stealing a phone.   What's up with that ?.  That might actually be a story.

He's got no one to blame, but himself!

Webfact does what a checkout line tabloid has to do to get readership. Always grab a piece of news by the most sensationalistic angle, regardless whether that angle covers the rule or the exception. With matters regarding gender roles within the LGBTQ group, which is by nature rife with confusion, webfact would add a few potholes here and there to make sure readers have ground to sow their own biases. Case in point:
 

 

Bias One : "one of whom now wants to be a man," - "One of whom," Thanadech has already gone through sex change, ie he has long passed the "wants to be a man" stage. In his mind he is now a man (whether the laws agree is another matter.) There's no mention of his girlfriend, the one whose child they are raising together, "now wants to be a man" either.

 

Bias Two: (they, the couple, are concerned) the bill doesn't effectively mean: they will be legally considered a man and a woman and the legal parents of those children." 
This is what Thanadech is quoted as saying in the article"

“I want the equal marriage law to be passed. It will make my family complete like any other family of men and women.” Though something might be lost in the translation, "family of men and women" in this context should be understood as "straight family."  Thanadech wants equal rights for his family as those of a straight family. No where did he said that there must be a man and a woman to "make my family complete."
 

Again, it's splitting hairs. No one cares. They can get married and rhats all that matters. The rest is woke BS.

Thailand also prides itself as the land of Smiles, but you need to look closer. ..

 

Anyway what webfact posted is a very brief article, however true to form is chokeful of loose-ends and choppy statements so that opinions could be easily misconstrued (or maybe that's the intention - as often the case with this news outlet)- and spun away.

 

Right at the top,  "Fears of discrimination in Thailand" is a misleading title. 
Sweating out the details, tweaking the blueprint of a bill about marriage equality is the opposite of fears. Had there been fears this bill would not have gotten to where it is today. But stoking "Fears" is irresistible, it "sells newspapers" you see...
 

The whole article is just unnecessary fear-mongering and the headline is clickbait, if you ask me. The Thais won't have a problem with gay marriage, regardless of wording.
