Report Sex Scandal Shakes Thai Buddhism: Monks Defrocked Amid Allegations
"As the Thai Sangha confronts these challenges, the focus remains on upholding the traditions that form the foundation of Theravada Buddhism, ensuring that both monks and laypeople maintain the values that promote spiritual enlightenment and moral integrity." Like with many of the world's religions, Thai Buddhism is not representing the teachings and practices of their supreme deity. I was born a Roman Catholic, attended Roman Catholic schools, attended weekly mass while in school, and even won my high school's religion prize in the final year of high school. I my final 2 years of high school I learnt that some of my classmates had been sexually abused by the school's priest and some of the Christian Brothers, while a few of the Christian brothers were alcoholics (as was my father)). After finishing high school I "left" the Church, disillusioned with the contradictions between the teachings of the Church and the behaviour of its "ministers" (priests, Christian brothers and nuns) and so called-Roman Catholics. Many Roman Catholics, I concluded, were non Christians. I can say the same about Thia Buddhists. Apart from the scandals we have recently seen in the Thai press (which have been going on for many decades), I have heard stories from Thai friends of Thai marfia bosses killing people, and then going to Buddhist wats to make a sizeable donation to help "counter" their sins. Many many Thai Buddhists are not Buddhists. That is the reality. The institution is morally corrupt. -

Crime Former U.S. Soldier Arrested After Disturbance at Pattaya Beer Bar
Personally I find your obsession with teachers, and assumption that they are all drunken whoremongering pedophiles creepy. You sneer at low salaries, so tell us, How do they afford all the excesses you list on the 30K you assume they earn? Mind you, given the huge wealth you so often boast about your grasp on reality- in terms of money certainly, is perhaps doubtful! No, I very much suspect that you either failed to get a job or were dismissed from the "profession". What was it, inadequate qualifications, rejected at interview or sacked for misbehaviour, laziness, drunkenness perhaps or simple incompetence? You appear to have an epic chip on your shoulder for some reason! -

USA CNN Analyst: Climate Fear Stagnant for Decades Despite Alarming Events
Agree for the most part. How long have you been here? At the rate Thailand is improving, in 20 years I think it will be almost like the West. 20 years ago it seemed half the cars on the roads were environmental disasters. Still too many but with so many of the newer cars emitting little emissions (EV & ICE) it will improve. Most the disgusting cars are not registered and pay fines when they're stopped. They can't run forever 🙂 The burning trash is much better at the local level and is frowned upon by probably most Thais. It was just accepted 20 years ago. Most villages now try to get people not to burn with some success. Still burning but there will always be selfish know it all people that just don't care like a house nearby us. To them it seems to be a badge of honor and they need it to justify their pathetic existence. I just smile and walk/ride through the smoke.
