In the first volume of the "Nouvelle Histoire de l'Eglise" (= New History of the Church) (written in 1964 by French Cardinal Danielou and other experts) one can read that during the first three centuries of Christianity a marriage was considered as a matter to be settled (or negotiated) between families and only in the 4th century the Christian couple would go to a priest to ask for his blessing.
This book was written and printed with Vatican approval (called "Imprimatur")
It means the Pope is meddling in a situation where the Vatican should have no business at all.
There was always understandable Vatican resistance against divorce but in the Orthodox Church the partner who was deemed to be abandoned retained his or her right for a new marriage.

I thought he referred to "your anus" and not "Uranus"
Uranus, is that what he talks out of ?
Pity is he'll be believed by so many and that includes in the govt.

Are you scared Donald Trump will win the elections ?
Would it not be possible that you stay with her in the States?
Not Ever.

A person with double UK - Thai nationality and residing in Thailand is a full subject of Thai Law and the UK Embassy cannot do anything for him : this is international law.
If the person has only UK nationality then in case of legal troubles the UK Embassy can only monitor that the human rights are protected but can not influence the outcome of the legal process.

Luckily for the lesbians the Jewish Bible (Levethicus) prohibits only male homosexuality....because those days women were treated as merchandise for marriage and were not supposed to have a sex life ....so ladies go on ....you do not have the male organs to commit sodomite perversion
""no to sodomite perversion.""
So, it's homosexuality they want to ban in the first instance. How can you ban nature?
""no to sodomite perversion.""
So, it's their opinion that it is perversion. It's only an opinion. And a minority opinion at that.
""no to sodomite perversion.""
So, how does that relate to following a lawful order?
""no to sodomite perversion.""
So, religious nutters.

my goodness is this a serious question ?

it are not the corrupt people who are admired...it is the amount of money they could put their hands on

Why don't you put some video movies in avi , mp4, mkv, wmv format on a thumdrive and go to Macro or other Homepro and ask the salesperson to plug it in the USB port of the TLC television?
With Samsung no problem but with TLC I am not sure

Nonsense. Europeans are in charge of their own borders and their own refugee and immigration policy. If Merkel and Hollande want to flood their countries with a million Third World refugees a year and their citizens don't like it, then those citizens should do something about it. They put these people in office.
This kind of attitude prevailed when in 1939 a ship (the St Louis) with Jews trying to escape Nazi Germany was refused entry into the USA...and the ship was sent back so that the Germans could "take care" of those Jews.

Nothing can change the fundamental rule that :
1. a good economy is where the people believe it is good
2.a bad economy is where the people believe it is bad
....and nobody has been able to predict exactly when the change happens
Most stock market investors behave like a pack of young dogs ...if they see that one dog thinks it found a good tree for a pee they all rush to pee at the same tree...until one of the pack barks in panic and than they all run for cover.
Prof Mertens and Prof Scholes were two Nobel Price winners for Economy in 1997 but 3 years later their company went bankrupt
http://harvardmagazine.com/2001/01/risk-without-reward.html
And what to say about the (in)famous US rating agencies or even the "oracle of the Fed) Alan Greenspan who never saw any problem until Lehman Brothers collapsed in 2008 ?.
I agree but when the Nobel Laureates company went bankrupt, their company paid all their revenues out as bonuses and then filed bankruptcy to dodge bills -- a common tactic that makes the owners both very rich and immune from being pursued for corporate debts. All they have to do is not own more than a 35% stake in it (proxy buddies take care of that quite easily).
Thank you for this quite interesting clarification. My main point was to illustrate that "economy" cannot be taught as a science because the human factor is more than 50 pct / suppose there is next week an overthrow of the rulers of Saudi Arabia...or China descends in its old habits of civil wars....then again all economic predictions, models and formula's will be thrown out of the window.

How quick we are to side with the father. Why? Because he's not Thai? Who are we to automatically assume the girl's best interests is with the father. For all we know he could be a total controlling ass. Wives leave husbands often because of abuse or child molestation, or simply because some husbands are as*holes.
Good point, well made. As someone said earlier, there must be more to this story. There are always two sides to every story.
...why did the mother kidnap her daughter....if she did not trust Australian courts it is not a good sign for her

Before my retirement I was a Dutch speaking diplomat : during the 1970ies and 1980ies I was living in China, Sweden, Germany, Hong Kong and Vietnam.
I kept Dutch as the family language because I did not want to cut them from my family of which nobody spoke a foreign language.
I raised 3 children and sent them to a French school
While playing in the street with other kids they learned all the languages of the other countries fluently.
Learning a language becomes more difficult I guess from the age of 10 when the children start to reason...

I am amazed that in Thailand, how often criminals get a pass and their lawyers go to jail. Seem a complete reversal of the way things work elsewhere.

The problem of thinking that you are covered by an insurance!
I payed 80,000 Baht a year for an international insurance before. Then they refused to pay when I broke my arm in an accident. The reason they gave why they refused to pay... I have psoriasis and they claimed that had effected my bone(s). And then they went on to informed me that I could not claim anything from the insurance company because of my psoriasis! so basically I had spent 480,000 Baht over 6 years for nothing thinking that I had a good cover!!!
So you had to face "the death squads" employed by health insurance companies i.e. medical experts or lawyers paid to find loopholes which allow them to refuse insurance payment.

Why does she have to give them anything above and beyond the insurance payout ?
compare with the compensation of 100.000 Euro ( 3.5 million Baht) offered by Lufthansa to families of the Germanwings crash victims : this was certainly a criminal crash.

I am far from being a Trump fan, but I must admit that it was pretty obvious that the moderators were out to get him. The Republican establishment (which includes Fox News) is doing everything it can to discredit Trump. The polls, however, tell a different story.
The Republican establishment will push so hard until they force Donald Trump to run as a third party candidate...and we know what that means.

Is not Thai law to split 50/50 whatever is gained during marriage ?
All what I know is that the real estate he owns is registered in his name only.
But if it was purchased during marriage, which is not hard to check, then she would be entitled to half of it
Thanks for your valuable input.
Obama calls trio who thwarted train attack 'best of America'

Let us not forget that :
1. George W Bush did draw a line and attacked Iraq and this way opened the door for a sectarian war
2. the withdrawal of troops from Iraq was a treaty signed by G W Bush between the new Iraqi government and the US
Conclusion : until now doing "something" in the Middle East has been more expensive in lives and money than doing nothing and let them kill each other.
