  1. "However, applying for a seat means competition. We lost the competition but the support we obtained accounted for about 70-80 per cent of UN members, meaning many countries still trust and believe in us."

    ...down from how many countries in the period 2010-2013, when Thailand did win a seat?

  2. Earlier this month Thai Immigration Police discovered he was on the island, living in Plus Condominium in Kathu. They alerted the Russian authorities, who cancelled his passport on October 13, allowing him to be arrested for being in Thailand illegally

    why not cancel his passport in April when he skipped the country?

  3. I once went to the Tiger Temple in Kanchanaburi. There was an even mix of foreign and Thai visitors, however, I noticed that none of the Thai would got near a tiger, only the foreigners would go close up and touch the animal. So I thought, the Thais lived together with tigers in their country for a long time, maybe they know a thing or two about them...and so I declined the monk's offer to hug the beast.

  4. As an amateur philosopher I've pondered that aspects humanity are not on a continuum but very distinctly stratified.

    I draw much of this from TV posts.

    I'm not sure about that.

    A relevant example might be delusions of racial or ethnic superiority. Superficially, we might think that people are either afflicted with them or not.

    But there is a continuum involved: people hold with these types of views to various degrees, some quite extreme, while the wiser amongst us might have been able to just about move on from them all together.

    So the more I refrain from posting, the wiser I appear...thumbsup.gif

    ...but if I refrain, then you wouldn't know about my apparent sagacity...w00t.gif

    a paradox for sure, wonder if there is an equation to define this self-defeating conundrum blink.png
