Chiang Mai In Flames

[Austhaied]

since some are in a singing mood, I might have a go....

The roof the roof the roof is on fire

The roof the roof the roof is on fire

The roof the roof the roof is on fire

We don't need no water let the motherf*cker burn

Burn motherf*cker burn

Hello my name is Jimmy Pop and I'm a dumb white guy

I'm not old or new but middle school, fifth grade like junior high

I don't know mofo' if y'all peeps be buggin' give props to my ho 'cause she fly

But I can take the heat 'cause I'm the other white meat known as Kid Funky Fry

Yeah I'm hung like planet Pluto hard to see with the naked eye

But if I crashed into Uranus I would stick it where the sun don't shine

'Cause I'm kind of like Han Solo always strokin' my own Whookie

I'm the root of all that's evil yeah but you can call me Cookie

The roof the roof the roof is on fire

The roof the roof the roof is on fire

The roof the roof the roof is on fire

We don't need no water let the motherf*cker burn

Burn motherf*cker burn

Yo yo this hardcore ghetto gangster image takes a lot of practice

I'm not black like Barry White no I am white like Frank Black is,

So if man is five and the Devil is six than that must make me seven

This honkey's gone to heaven

But if I go to hel_l well then I hope I burn well

I'll spend my dayys with J.F.K., Marvin Gaye, Martha Raye, and Lawrence Welk

And Kurt Cobain, Kojak, Mark Twain and Jimmy Hendrix' poltergeist

And Webster yeah Emmanuel Lewis cuz he's the anti-christ

The roof the roof the roof is on fire

The roof the roof the roof is on fire

The roof the roof the roof is on fire

We don't need no water let the motherf*cker burn

Burn motherf*cker burn

**Bloodhound Gang

Lets have a singing party then..shall we ??

Google this baby.... So f**king what by the anti-nowhere league..

No that would cover this thread nicely..

[lannarebirth]

Oh, so it's a song lyric thread is it?

Easy

I once had a friend who

Met an early end to

A kind of modern way of thinkin

He wasn't taken from us

Yeah, he's still among us

But he lives for drugs and drinkin

He liked to point the finger

His accusations linger

A deeper part of every action

He loved to play the game where

He dispersed the blame for

Every deep dissatisfaction

Easy to bitch

Easy to whine

Easy to moan

Easy to cry

Easy to feel like there ain't nothing in your life

Harder to work

Harder to strive

Harder to be glad to be alive

But its really worth it if you give it a try

He once told me how he

Couldn't wait to beat me

So he could take what I was telling

(He said)

They don't give a dam_n its

All a master plan for

Us to buy what they are selling

Easy to bitch

Easy to whine

Easy to moan

Easy to cry

Easy to feel like there ain't nothing in your life

Harder to work

Harder to strive

Harder to be glad to be alive

But its really worth it if you give it a try

(Come on, give it a try)

If I sound above it

I can't sit in judgement

Cause I ain't sure where I'd be sittin

These are all my problems

Lord, I tried to drop them

Cause this ain't how I should be livin

Easy to bitch

Easy to whine

Easy to moan

Easy to cry

Easy to feel like there ain't nothing in your life

(Life)

Hard to work

Harder to strive

Harder to be glad to be alive

But its really worth it if you give it a try

(Come on, give it a try)

Easy to bitch

Easy to whine

Easy to moan

Easy to cry

Harder to work

Harder to strive

Harder to be glad to be alive

Hear hear, This topic has brought some good information to light... The hot line to report burning in Chiang Mai 053 409 345... and a contact for someone heading off a group that is actually trying to do something ... which again is [email protected]

I am sure that head in the sand approach is not the right solution to this problem. Its not going to just go away...

I'm not suggesting a head in the sand approach I'm suggesting that alot of what gets posted here is hyperbole and it's excessive as is the constant complaining. That's all I hear is complaining I don't see anyone doing anything.

Aside from the other measure I previously mentioned our family does my gf, through a friend contacted the wife of the provincial governor to meet and talk about these issues and suggest witholding funds to subdistricts and villages with low fire prevention compliance. That's now in the works.

Two months ago a neighbor to our mountain land shook a machete in my gf's face when she brought in the authorities to stop him burning his land and adjacent forest land. It is well known in our villager that he murdered a forestry official about 10 years ago for trying to stop him doing what he liked. Unfortunately for him he was found to be in possesiom of yaba the very next week and is now in prison.

I don't know where you people get off preaching to a bunch of law abiding expats but it's obvious to me you don't have a clue how things work here. I urge you to join the group mentioned and see what change you can affect. I urge you to change your own practices to improve air quality for all. I hope the moderators will pin the hotline and group number and perhaps have a pinned thread where you can all complain in one place.

Mapguy, I went back and looked at your short posting history. It was one complaining post after another. It seems you've moved here only recently. My question is, why on earth would you stay somewhere where yoyu would appear to be so unhappy?

[mcgriffith]

OK, I think everyone has had their say- some humorous and irreverent, some serious....and some have sung a song.

Valuable information has been posted for those who want to participate in positive action to improve air quality.

Thank you all for your participation!
