Stop accusing me of supporting violence. I pointed out that both sides are complicit and that both should be charged. -

What do Tucker Carlson, Jordan Peterson, and Elon Musk have in common?
I treated it as a BS statement and responded in kind. To prove your allegation you'd have to find every scientist on the planet and ask them if they deny climate change, and then if they did if they were paid to do so by a fossil fuel company. That might prove somewhat difficult. That's the problem with throwing words like 100% out there and expecting everyone to believe it. Putting an IMO or similar in there would not provoke a reaction from me, but I'm not going to allow an obviously unprovable statement to go unchallenged. -

British Man Tells Story of Life in Bangkok Prison in New Book
For those unfamiliar with the original story. "12 May 1994 A 34-year-old Briton, who was in Thailand studying martial arts, was arrested at Bangkok airport early yesterday and charged with smuggling two kilos of heroin. Jonathan Wheeler, from Southampton, was arrested by Thai customs as he prepared to board a flight to Taipei, Taiwan." https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12697620.briton-on-drug-charge/ 1994 - NOT 1993. "8 Feb 2000 Jonathan Wheeler has lived in Bang Kwang prison for five and a half years. The story of how he got there is so familiar that it is a cliche. He was trapped in a gambling debt and threatened with death unless he carried a package out of Thailand to pay it off. The dealers tipped off customs and while Wheeler was stopped the people with the serious quantities of heroin slipped through. Wheeler's life - working in a bar on the island of Ko Samui and kick boxing for a living - was over at the age of 33. He was sentenced to 50 years." Again, making it 1994, not 1993. Note how the story has changed from what it was 24 years ago. I guess you won't sell as many books if people know the truth about why you were in prison.
