  1. Perhaps would it be better if he had stopped for a few hours and have a discussion with his mates on what to do next before pulling the trigger, hopefully coming up with a better solution, that is to "slowly behead the wounded terrorist with his mates while yelling god is great"?

    Just a thought!!!

    I don't think that is in the marine corps code of conduct!

    It is a clear violation of geneva convention rules for a combatant to fake his death.

    That marine acted appropriately. Period. He may very well have saved his life and that of those around him. He should be given a medal for crying out loud. Not investigated. What a crock of media hyperbole. People who jump on that without thinking are doing just that "not thinking".

  2. Is there such thing in the world as "a hypocrite understanding the meaning of the word hypocrite"?

    You have as point. When a person is very busy thinking how smart he is and how impossibly stupid the rest of us are the meaning of the word "hypocrite would very likely escape him.

    It's also interesting how a person will jump on a mainstream media bandwagon and mistake that for intelligence and original thought.

    Let's all line up behind old Danny Rather and repeat what he has to say! :o

    Did I hear some say "tiresome"? :D

  3. So you are saying everyone is an idiot who doesn't believe the hate mongering vitriol you are spewing? Nice to have an open mind and insult many at the same time. Do you know the definition of "hypocrisy"?

    Islamic schools have been teaching hatred for non muslims for 30 years. It is time for that to stop.

    And spare us your hate america rhetoric as it's not appropriate here. We've it all heard it ad nauseam.

    How isn't it appropriate? If you are talking about the thread I agree.

    In Thaivisa it is totally appropriate. Doesn't matter how you look at it. The GI was badly trained that he shot the guy, but it's a war that dubya asked for, in fact insisted on.

    Hard to work out what to feel about the people having their heads lopped off in terms of the GI shooting the Iraqi soldier. Iraq won't change anything. Cheney gets the money his company needs and the US gets the discounted oil it needs, so really all is well with the part of the world that means anything (to America).

    You want to spew vitriolic hate mongering do it here:

    Otherwise spare us the rest of us the tired worn out anti-american cliches, Last I checked this isn't a political forum.

    I'll be glad to rip you a new orifice over at the bearpit if haven't been banned today!

    First of all i don't hate americans, mostly i feel sorry for types like you with limited outlooks on life :D. I also feel sorry for muslims with limited outlooks as well :D

    Maybe if one wasn't happening the other wouldn't occur? You have to ask where the cycle stops. Let's face it Israel, which is a more developed country than Iraq by some large amount, still hasn't got the intelligene to work out "stopping has to start with one person saying enough".
    I see Ice understands what i mean :D . Sorry to be "In your face" Kasi. But in the end everthing, everybody is responsible for it's/his/hers own actions.

    The US wants cheap oil and support middle east politics this way ... :o I'm just saying you're creating your own mess. Just sorry to see other people getting caught up in it. It only comes from a limited Brain use... yours... your presidents.... more then half of your voting population....

    PS: Most cliches are very true :D

    Again I'll invite to look up the word "hypocrite" since you so freely accuse me and a host of others of narrow mindedness and stupidity.

    You think you are having original thoughts when in fact you are just aping anti-bush and anti american talking points. Perhaps you are the one who should try thinking for yourself.

    Regarding the shooting incident in Fallujah perhaps you should look up in the geneva convention about when a combatant is feigning death. Especially when you consider how readily these terrorists will sacrifice themselves to take you out. You can pop off all the mainstream media baloney you want but don't mistake it for having an original thought.

    You can call me stupid and narrow minded all you want but that doesn't make you smart.

    While you're looking up the word "hypocrite" read the definition of "sanctimonious" as well.

  5. Well the iraqi injured and weaponless man sure can't tell his story here anymore  :o  :D

    And then the US wonders why certain people get angry ???  :D

    And are you/have you been angry about the killings from the "terrorists", you know beheadings of innocent people, etc.......what's your take on that. Geesh, I have to wonder why "certain people" don't get angry about that. Not much outrage concerning these truly innocent deaths if we compare to the current "war zone". So get "angry", no problem, but why you don't express any anger for what these others people did/are doing. I truly don't understand.

    The beheadings are equally as sick. We should be equally as outraged when a white hostage is beaheaded as when an unarmed and wounded Iraqi man is casually shot in the heart by US marines. But somehow, there is far less sympathy for the Iraqi. Its not difficult to see why there is so much hatred of the US in the Middle East.

    Well i'm not in the midle east, neither of muslim religion, neither of arab origin.

    It's pretty simpel why the sympathy is For iraqi people.

    Iraq didn't invade the us....The US invaded iraq under false pretenses because of a vendictive president who wanted to settle daddy's score. Period

    Don't start with the war on terror , iraq was related bla bla ... it US garbage patriotic nonsense for idiots to believe.

  6. In 1979 for three weeks I was a guest at immigration detention in Bangkok. The awful feeling of getting locked up the first day is indescribable. It was a 60X25 foot cell with about 30 people. Mostly hard luck chinese, burmese, maylay, with a laotian a philipino. I was told I was put in the best cell with the well behaved(I was never mistreated, many times I managed to beg a phenobard from the nurse, the only times I really slept). At night you could hear the crying, screaming and moaning from the other cells. Hideous. My cell was also the transit cell for farang being let out of prison and deported. I heard a couple of stories from prison upcountry.(shades of Warren Fellows' story). Read his book if you want your skin to crawl.

    Anyway you don't wanna get locked up in this country! Even with immigration!

  7. I just got the little dish and UBC set up and noticed it lacks "fox news"

    All they say I "mai mee"

    But I would really like to have! Is there any recourse to UBC to carry fox news?

  8. Why don't you buy a second hand one and sell when you leave.

    75,000 for 6 months is quite a chunk to fork out on rental!!

    75,000 should buy a used suzuki. I've seen them for 50,000 on car lots in phuket town.

    200,000-300,000 should buy a late model corolla (air bags, good stereo, cheap on gas, my preferred ride).

    There is an advantage to renting though more spendy. Less initial capitol outlay. Less paper work. And if you crack it up you are just out the 5000 baht deductible. I rent long term a nice newish corolla from a guy in chalong/phuket.

  9. Bush has made the mess America now has, so it is up to him to clean it up. After the next four years there will no one to blame or commend but him. It seems only right that he should be responsible for his actions. It's just such a shame that so many people have died and will die because of his misguided foreign and domestic policies.

    Actually if you take into account Saddam's body count. And took that as an average then factor in the body count under US protection you have a negative number.

    GWB is saving countless lives everyday we have taken Saddam out of the picture.

    So much for your whining misguided bleeding heart.

    No one absolutely no one will deny Saddam was an evil individual.

    What was Saddams body count?

    Over 600,000 and still counting the bodies in the mass graves!

  11. What is remarkable in the post election arena is how unhinged the Bush-haters have become.

    There is a high level of civility(except the notable exception of tornado/gent) here compared to some other forums.

    I'm relieved the most liberal US senator who lied about his vietnam record was soundly put in his place of ignominy.

    I can understand why so many are so sorely misinformed about GWB because the mainstream media is systematically against him. Just look at the crew on CNN and you would think someone ran over their collective dog.

    The reason Bush got re-elected is that he has proven himself tough on terrorism.

    With his leadership everyone should be breathing a sigh of relief. These murderous scum suckers, like the ones here in southern thailand have their days numbered.

    How there is possibly any justification for flying an airliner full of people into a skyscraper???

    If there is anything GWB stands for he stands for the annihilation of the dirt who would commit such acts.

    The rest of you can do your group Bush is a monkey acts, but the truth is that the mandate of the american people is to squash these terrorists.

    YOU DONT HAVE TO LIKE IT! Because as Americans and victims of 9/11 our foreign policy will not be dictated by the myopic nitwit who walks the streets of Paris!

    I celebrate the decisive victory of president George Walker Bush.

    I am content to let anyone who want's to steep in their ignorant hateful myopia simmer

    cheers! :o

  12. I saw some 12 year old single malt in Chalong for 1200 baht. Haven't tried it yet. Good price though.

    BTW Jim Beam is Kentucky bourbon while it is a very good whiskey it is a very different animal from a good scotch.

    Note: Jack Daniel's is a Tennessee sour mash whiskey notably different from the Kentucky bourbon which is much smoother.

  13. It is clear that they provide only lip service to the issue or protecting the reef because they are vested in more divers with more gear.  I can tell you that most of the Instructors don't even know how to control the buoyancy! 

    ...complete rubbish! You must be able to control your buoyancy in order to pass the entry level Open Water course. As an Instructor you need to be able to control your buoyancy to the extent that you can control others buoyancy too, if need be, such as when somebody begins to make an out of control ascent or descends too fast.

    Dive companies make money from selling diving but you're not going to sell much diving if the environment is in poor condition. There's not much the dive industry alone can do about coral bleaching but I can promise you that, at least on the boat I work on, we assess diver ability before letting them loose on a tricky and/or fragile environment. Those who are less experienced are generally dropped in where they can't do any damage, this doesn't lessen their enjoyment any since their limited experience means that a simpler dive is still relatively awesome and beautiful. This also means that they have more to discover as they gain more skills and experience :o

    Don't forget also that many dive companies organise reef clean-up days too when, instead of earning money, they are looking after the environment :D

    Peace.

    I don't think the dive tourists contribute significantly to the damage going on.

    The dive co I routinely dive with is very conciensious. They wont even alow you to wear gloves to keep you from touching things.

    And thats right you won't pass the elementary open water course if you can't control yout buoyancy.

  14. I saw an accident at the dolphin roundabout last year some time - a farang on one of those big rental bikes had been literally squashed between a minivan and a songtaew. The bike was wedged under the minivan, and it looked like the guy had almost exploded - there was bits of him scattered in about a 4 meter radius... A small crowd gathered around, just looking...

    I've never seen such a gory one but motor bike accidents are so commonplace I barely even notice anymore.

    I've had lots of close calls. Mainly from numbskulls running red lights in Patong.

    Watch out in particular for the Italians and middle easterner tourists on motor bikes. They almost have exclusive rights on "brain dead behaviour".

    But the thai guy riding a motorbike holding a child with one hand and talking on the cell phone while happily sailing through a red light is a picture to behold.

    Tips for road survival in Phuket: Turn signals, keep your eyes open, and expect to see some of the stupidest driving on the planet(trust me I'm 48 and have lived all over the world, the driving in Phuket rivals the worst anywhere). If you aren't an experienced and sensible motorcycle driver think twice before renting one. The statistics really are not in your favour.

    I like it though just because I'm an adrenaline junky. Actually I really really like it. Because I'm really really nuts. :o:D
