sriracha john

discount the BS-rate of 30%

LOL..... that struck me as a very funny line, Axel.... thanks for the good laugh this morning..

is that some official government rating? like the prime lending rate? LOL

or does it float up and down like the baht/dollar exchange rate? LOL

LOL.... thanks again

this report is so funny... more egg for Thaksin's face.

Now I know Thaksin has a big, fat, round face, but just how MUCH egg can it hold?

Article Title:

Egg on govt’s face after clumsy mission

http://www.nationmultimedia.com/page.news....20941&usrsess=1

Here's to hoping one of the bird flu-contaminated eggs hits his face.

I'm not blind to the fact that racism is world-wide. Bottom line?.... We're on the same side. It'd be more advantageous to recognize that.

these ridiculous and baseless claims to superiority by other Western nations.  And I say this as a person of color.  How do you make these claims, Sriracha, do tell.

From the point of view of a world traveler (27 countries to date). As someone that was raised and actually lived in America and didn't "study" about it from a book. As the father of mixed race children raised in America.

There's nothing ridiculous about claiming America is the most violent country in regards to just about any issue. They have 1,000,000 persons locked up in prisons nation-wide. No other country comes close, in numbers or percentages. A simple trip to any prison there will enlighten you or anyone about the realities of racism in America, be it from folks like the Aryan Brotherhood or any black

gang-banger. America has how many members in the Klan? To give you an idea of the magnitude, I dare say their numbers alone are greater than all the hill tribes of Thailand added together. America is where the phrase "hate crime" was coined.

Does Thailand have racism? Yes. Do other countries have racism? Yes. But in it's ever-present desire to be world leaders in all arenas, America is by far the most violent in it's racism. Sorry to burst yours and Boon Mee's bubble, but that's the reality. If you doubt it, talk to just about any "person of color" IN america.

Thailand and other S.E. Asian nations are by far much more racist than America.

Americans are, bar none, the most violent about their brand of racism. Good movie regarding same is, "American History X". I highly recommend you watch, if you haven't.

A big ol' circus tent would be appropriate on many levels.

VERY appropriate!..... His administration is a big circus with him as ringleader. Also reminds of one of P.T. Barnum's line, "There's a sucker born every minute."

Neighbors used poisoned meat to thin out the herd of assaultive dogs at the last place. Was surprised by this as it's not common here to kill them, but they had had enough of them barking at and chasing their kids. The effect seemed to last too, which was also surprising.

I'm waiting for Thaksin to proudly proclaim as did against the U.N., that

"CNN is not our father"

According to the evening news, Somchai got a million baht (from his wife), passport, and is now in Burma. Guess that's the last we'll see of him unfortunately..... Justice denied once again.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha....

this report is so funny... more egg for Thaksin's face.

One of his many "house of cards" to start falling down.

What's the percentage of readers that have either been bitten, chased, or severely intimidated by a pack of barking, growling soi dogs?

I find it's a serious public health and safety issue.

"It's a hotel with the letter "E" in it's name."

I'll just whip out my map then

LOL.....

just be sure to check for all the hot"E"ls that have an "E" in their respective hot"E"l name......

it doesnt take a great leap of the imagination to think that the self-righteous and marginalised, havng arrived at this point of reasoning, could well think that their very own lives could be sacrificed to prove their point

wishing that Bush and his "war on terrorism" folks could fathom this concept...

Needless to say, I will not be using the hotel again, nor will I be recommending it. And I have recommended it a lot in the past.

Any chance of naming names?

If we follow the normal Thai political tradition of making accusations, the answer would be:

"It's a hotel with the letter "E" in it's name."

It's a complex issue... that, as this article depicts, affects not only the victim, but all those around her as well.

Anybody registered the domain name: UBCsucks.com yet?

Yes, I believe it is linked through:

One of Toxin's many companies partnered with a monopolistic satellite dish company... Now THERE'S a recipe for complete dissatisfaction.

Plagiarism, Harry. By the way when you cut and pasted the Mangosauce article you missed the first line:-

Do you want to teach English and get paid with pretty sea shells and colourful beads?

Please jog my memory. You're...er.... a teacher, aren't you?

Scouse.

LOL @ being busted for plagiarism from mangosauce...... sheesh....

americans are incredibly racist.

Sorry, had to comment here. I guess that is why they always overcharge foreigners for everything? Why they only serve Americans first in a restaurant or a bank queue??

I was agreeing with most everything you were saying, sbk... until this popped up. It's pretty much a given that many, many americans are racist. Those racist practices you describe occur quite regularly.

if they see a Thai girl with a farang most local people assume she is a bargirl.

I'm wondering how accurate/inaccurate this assumption of theirs really is. It'd be an interesting sociological survey to determine exactly what percentage of girls with farang are, in fact, bar girls. If it's over half, then perhaps this assumption is not so inaccurate, yes?

A university degree with an English major is no guarantee of proficiency. I know at least a half dozen whose verbal skills have not progressed beyond the "Hello, how are you?" of Prathom 3. Sad, but true.

Yes Max benefits are 1800 a month he just needs to get a job also if possible.

$1800 x 41 = 73,800 baht/month...... not enough in and of itself?

Foreigners who fall into any of the following categories are prohibited to enter the Kingdom.

        ((cut))

(4) Being mentally unstable

I would think that that would be beneficial to staying here, not a hindrance.

And you're "richer" too, John, for taking down that non-politically correct avatar!

but it's sentiment selectively remains....

Is there more of this happening or am I just reading more about it?

I will be careful in future about telling my friends how safe Thailand is for Farang women.

May I suggest you do inform your friends, but you can drop "farang" from your report, as it seems to occur to all; as the report I read of another incident in Thailand that occured on the same day about a 13 year old Thai girl that was also raped, and then murdered

Can you guess Heng's family business?

Child Prostitution? Organizing Cambodian beggars? Illegal logging through National Forest encroachment

OR All of the above
