Thailand goes all in on The Homosexual Movement
No they needed to be married because marriage to most people has religious connotations and the homosexual movement wanted to make sure that they spit in people's faces -

U.S. Senators Introduce Legislation to Counter UN Actions Against Israel
America is great again? LOL. I do not know how many times during my life-time (almost 70 years) that I have read articles, or listened to news reports, about voting for UN resolutions, where the vast majority of countries support/reject the resolution, a handful of countries abstain, and often only 2 - Israel and the USA - (sometimes a couple more) countries reject/support the resolution. The USA and Israel have for many many decades been our of step with world popular opinion. The USA's "war" against communism and terrorism often with democratic/popular governments across the globe has caused tens, if not hundreds, of millions of deaths, massive torture and human rights abuses across Africa, Asian the Middle East, South/Central America, etc. (In the 1950s and 1960s the Khmer Rouge was a small band of a few dozen to a few hundred supporters, until "Tricky Dicky" and Henry Kissinger decided to bomb Viet Cong supply routes in Cambodia, which gave rise to popular support for the Khmer Rouge who took control on Cambodia on 17 April 1975, and the ethnocide and genocide which resulted in the deaths of about one-third of the Cambodian population.) Let us face it, the USA has brought massive suffering to billions of people across the globe. Supporting genocidal regimes seems to be the USA's norm (just as it continues its discrimination and historical genocide against people of "colour" in the USA. The moral authority of the USA does not exist. The USA is, and has been for so long, a moral abyss. Some progressives hope that Trump will destroy the corrupt, big-business friendly, genocidal USA political system and a new age of equality and peace will follow. But possibly these progressive fail to see that their hope, like the hope of the 1960s USA, has a dangerous dark side. Enjoy your day. -

Thailand Looks to Bolster Suvarnabhumi Airport as Southeast Asia's Top Transit Hub
Typical Thai response to immediately tumble to large infrastructure projects like a third runway when the gap is that BKK was never designed as a transit hub in the first place (it was designed as an origination / destination airport only). Further, the anchor carrier Thai International seems uninterested in being a transit carrier … they focus on bringing people to / from Bangkok and that’s it. Assuming TG wants this to happen (they’ll have to start behaving like Singapore, Cathay, JAL / ANA, KLM, Turkish, Emirates, and other serious transit traffic carriers), the core design inside BKK will have to change. Serious thought on how you efficiently hold and move people gate to gate while separating those originating / terminating in Thailand. Look at transit at, say, Schiphol (AMS) to see this done well. Heck, BKK can’t even manage moving people efficiently from international to domestic. Look at airports like Vancouver (YVR) to see how you do that well … avoiding the delays of requiring a new security screen while simultaneously separating the flow of transit / terminating passengers through separate immigration/ customs flows. I think BKK could get this done if they would just focus on emulating what makes the world’s best transit airports work well (hint: it’s not runway capacity). -

Who's Gonna Win The Tyson Fight?
The streaming quality was bad, and at the beginning quite a bit of buffering, but that improved once the fight started. It has also been mentioned in the Press that the quality left a lot to be desired. As for te fight, it was sad to watch a once powerful fighter who struck fear into many opponents, reduced to being taunted by a loudmouthed Youtuber, 30 years his junior. Still. At least he walked away with a ton of cash, and no injury to speak of.
