Does the inequality ever make you uncomfortable?
My mother told me life was not fair early on, and I learned quickly she was right. is it fair that some people are tall and attractive, while others are not? Is it fair that some people are clever while others are thick? -

British Jumper’s Tragic Video Fuels Site Closure Demands
Ever wonder why people would pay money to see Evel Knievel jump over buses? So they could witness the crashes when they happened. Brit TV, I sure, has over-the-top graphic death scenes in movies. If you're going to censor, better censor it all. Right. Gotta censor any that may be disturbing to your citizens, yeah? -

US Social Security
fortunately for me, I went to work after 4 years in the AF flying in VN and a 6-month stint with Dupont - I worked with 20 others doing basically the same job but within a month or so I was doing about 40 % of our office work. I couldn't take more than a couple of days off in conjunction with a weekend and had to catch up when I returned, but I kept everyone else's work done until they returned, I also had no snow days at the rest did plus I had to work eithe Sat or Sun each week while most of them were not "qualified" though several had higher salaries. But, I couldn't get promoted as it was that time in our history that the govt decided to catch up on promotions for minorities and females so i kept losing out, did a remote assignment as a tech rep in the VN theater, but then all in my office got the same promo I did. However, I was offered a job in a new office - which enabled me to acquire managerial positions along with operational experience too and enabled me to retire making a really great salary. I am now of course an OLD man, but I know my family will be taken care of even if I die tomorrow. I retired here in Thailand knowing that my salary would enable me to do whatever I wanted and I still love it here. I have family of course in the US and based on what they write, I have no plans to ever move back there. My only foreign travel will be to visit my daughter going to college in Seoul on an exchange program with her university here in Bangkok. But US passport holders do not even need a visa for Korea if the visit is under I think 30 days. Easy in nd easy out. Now with the LTR here for 9 more years, same story here easy out and easy in. Fortunately 99% of the people that were selected for my organization had weeded out most of the bad but I did help some leave earlier than they planned, but they were not fired but they no longer worked for my organization. We of course had to do more every year but without any increase in numbers of employees nor budget and sometimes even those were cut. Having to do the budget and congressional oversight briefings were sometimes not very pleasant but at least I got my point across and never had any negative repercussions. I was able to work as hard as I did only with the support amd sacrifice of my family. Great job to have and great rewards too. -

Thailand Holds Off on 30-Day Visa-Free Change Decision
You have to be kidding. I'm pretty sure cops drive down the street every day, more or less. They aren't blind. Anyway, I'm sure it's all a matter for the police, not for Thai Immigration.
