Ummm....if this happened in the US wouldn't it be seen as lewd public behaviour and they both be classified as sex offenders for the rest of their lives?

Having said that, the humiliation of the video being shared publicly is fairly stiff punishment....pardon the pun.

The day Thailand operates a nuclear reactor will mark my last day in the Kingdom.

A country which to date cannot operate a functioning, safe, pedestrian crossing system within its urban areas is not one yet ready for the storage of radioactive material.

Well goodbye then because Thailand already has a functioning nuclear reactor in Chatuchak. It was comissioned in 1961 and has been operating from 1962 until today.

So don't let the door hit your dumbass on the way out.

The functioning nuclear reactor at Atom for Peace is a small boiling water reactor.....used for reaearch only.....hardly worth a mention, as these quite common in developing countries.

Hardly worth a mention???......

The serious radiological accident in Thailand occurred in Samut Prakan province in 2000......

When sealed radioactive sources are no longer in use, and there is no intention of using them again, they are usually called “disused sealed radioactive source” or “DSRS”. Worldwide, the number of sources that are considered disused is very large [2] and warrants dedicated efforts for their management in a safe and secure manner. If lost or not properly controlled, disused sealed sources can be a threat to human health and the environment. Exposure to large doses of radiation from an unshielded high activity source can be lethal or cause severe radiation injury. If the source capsule is damaged the radioactive material can be released and dispersed, resulting in contamination to the environment, social and economic impacts. 2. Why we need the safety and security management on DSRS The serious radiological accident in Thailand occurred in Samut Prakan province in 2000, when cobalt- 60 head of a disused teletherapy unit was partially dismantled, and taken from that storage to be sold as scrap metals [3]. Three victims died and 10 people received high doses from the radioactive source. It was an expensive lesson to be learned in Thailand.......

So what does one do with the waste? Store it for the next millenium??

Legalization now! Nobody is forced to use them so don't start with the ruining lives etc

Death penalty is outrageous by itself, but for drugs it is just crazy. Legalize and tax it, simple.

And thereby create another situation as has been with cigarettes. Smokers pay about 10% of the total health expenses associated with their addiction, and frankly, I find it offensive that the taxpayer picks up the rest.

Legalize anything if you wish, but the cost must reflect what is spent on medical expenses for those using the 'product'. Cigarettes should be $100+ a pack of 20 if the system is to recoup even close to the costs of treating smoking related illnesses. Alternatively, state resources should not be provided to a person who has inflicted illness or injury on himself through drug use, or any number of other health issues over which he has had control, e.g., obesity, except where there are contributing medical causes.

No, don't ever legalize hard drugs. Decriminalize it, but only for users. Script it to addicts and watch them as they ingest it, so they can't on-sell it, and treat it as the health problem that it really is. Big difference. Ask any junkie if they are happy to be a junkie. They aren't! The are sick!

Traffickers should be dealt with appropriately, 5 -10 years should sort them - and that's still more than what most pedophiles get :-( But then if addicts had access to their drugs in a clinically managed way most traffickers would be out of work anyway.

And as for cigarettes, governments everywhere are addicted to the huge taxes they collect from tobacco companies - and it's not like they put the money back into health systems to pay the costs for smokers dying from tobacco related illnesses.

Legalise murder?....oh that's right, the Vietnamese government already has!

I once met a guy who had lived on death row in the US for TEN years...before the courts changed their mind and decided he was not guilty of the crime (murder, in his case) he was accused of after all. I met him when he was travelling and speaking out against this barbaric form of punishment that has been proven to not even serve as a deterrent to this obscene crime.

For the last ten years or more there have been coalition troops walking past the poppy fields in Afghanistan - but not destroying them as you would think would be prudent is tackling what is essentially a health issue of drug addiction throughout the world, especially given that 97% of the worlds heroin is produced from the poppies in Afghanistan. The issue appears to suit some governments on the one hand, but not other governments on the other.

Aside from that, it must be a hell of a person who decides on someone elses life.

It's not a spy, just Google mapping the area so they can make money out of them locals. But watch out for the cars that are equipped with micro wave transponders that can read your brainwaves & steal your intelectual property. They really suck?

Dang.....that's a lot of taxi drivers to arrest in just one night!

A great loss. With Gaddafi gone as well, who is left to guide the world's fashion industry?

Can someone tell me.........who was first with this fashion sense.......Col Gaddafi, Kim Jong-il or Michael Jackson?
