Do you believe in God and why
Are you for real? Do you even think about what you write? God isn't human, ergo God does not have human emotions. -

Do you believe in God and why
If going to post sarky comments try to get it right. God is not a human being so how could God rape anyone? -

When God is in everything ( for those with eyes to see ) God is not hiding- is in plain view. Soooo, where did the Big Bang come from? From nothing, apparently. -

Afghanistan’s New Taliban Laws: A Veil of Silence and Invisibility for Women
The Taliban don't care what the UN thinks or does. Not for the first time, IMO the UN is a waste of money, as all it does is whine about the terrible things that go on in the real world, and does nothing to stop any of it.- 1

Afghanistan’s New Taliban Laws: A Veil of Silence and Invisibility for Women
Anyone that thought women's "rights" would survive the departure of the allied forces in Afghanistan is living in Lala Land IMO. Some of us thought the US should have left after defeating the Taliban, as it would not have given false hope to the women of that blighted country. In the event, all it did was waste many billions in treasure and kill a load of people for no good reason, IMO. -

Koh Samui eyes approval of 12.1 billion baht cruise terminal
A new cruise terminal in Koh Samui, set to open in 2032, aims to significantly boost tourism in Surat Thani, Thailand, according to Deputy Caretaker Minister Manaporn Charoensri. Manaporn, along with Caretaker Transport Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit, visited Koh Samui to review the progress of major transport infrastructure projects. Suriya revealed that the ministry has several new initiatives underway to enhance the tourism sector. Manaporn announced yesterday, August, 24, that the Marine Department has completed a comprehensive study on the 12.1 billion baht cruise terminal project, which will cover 47 rai of land at Laem Hin Khom. The chosen location is ideal due to its deep-sea environment, which naturally breaks wind and provides ample space for the port. The study also addresses emergency response measures and insights into the potential for full-scale commercial development, including readiness for public utilities. It explores Public-Private Partnership (PPP) net cost investment as the most suitable financing option. The PPP net cost investment is projected to generate at least 46 billion baht in economic benefits over 37 years, with an expected economic internal rate of return (EIRR) of over 15%, said Manaporn. “The Marine Department has submitted the study to the ministry, which will forward it to the Cabinet for consideration.” She added that the project is expected to receive approval by next month, after which the bidding process will begin. Construction is slated to start in 2029 and will take at least three years to complete. The terminal is anticipated to be fully operational by 2032. Manaporn noted that the terminal is expected to handle 120 cruise landings annually and attract at least 180,000 cruise visitors to the island each year. Manaporn added that the new terminal is poised to stimulate tourism in the southern province. “The project has received positive feedback from private investors, as it is expected to stimulate the province’s tourism.” This initiative is part of a broader effort by the ministry to strengthen Surat Thani‘s tourism infrastructure, ensuring long-term economic benefits and enhanced visitor experiences in the region, reported Bangkok Post. by Ryan Turner Image: Supapong Chaolan/Bangkok Post Source: The Thaiger 2024-08-26 Get the ASEAN NOW daily NEWSLETTER - Click HERE to subscribe -

Kennedy Family Condemns RFK Jr.'s Trump Endorsement as a Betrayal of Core Values
The party of JFK vanished long ago, and bears no resemblance to it now, IMO. Kennedy was an inspirational leader that had a vision of a better future for Americans and the world, but all today's Dem leaders have is hate Trump, IMO. IMO if JFK were alive now he'd leave the Dems and become an independent. -

Pattaya Officials Continue Crackdown on Vagrants to Protect City Image
Pattaya City officials have continued their efforts to apprehend vagrants who negatively impact the city’s image as a tourist destination, following the directives of Pattaya City Mayor, Mr. Poramase Ngampichet. In the morning on August 24th, 2024, officials from the city’s Special Affairs Department received a report from concerned citizens about two vagrants soliciting money from passersby in front of a convenience store on Third Road in North Pattaya. The officials immediately went to the scene to meet the two. Upon arrival, officials found an unidentified homeless woman, approximately 40-50 years old, along with her 8-year-old son. The woman claimed that she had previously been married to a Scottish man who sent her monthly financial support. However, after losing her ATM card, she no longer had access to the funds to support herself and her son. The authorities arranged for her and her son to be processed with the local homeless center according to the regulations.

Police arrest contract killer after 33 year manhunt in Lopburi
Police in Lopburi province yesterday apprehended a contract killer who escaped a 33 year prison sentence after a failed assassination attempt at a hotel. Chief of Police Supakorn Chantabut, along with Deputy Chief Siwawong Damrongsatchasi, alongside other officers successfully arrested the 56 year old contract killer, Paisan, yesterday, August 24. The arrest took place in Chaibadan district, Lopburi province. The case traces back to November 20, 1989, when an assailant used a firearm to shoot Somjai, a hotel manager, and her brother-in-law Sawiang at a hotel in Trat province. Both victims sustained injuries but the perpetrator managed to escape. Initially, it was suspected that the attack stemmed from a land sale dispute, leading to the hiring of a hitman to kill Somjai. However, the assassination attempt was unsuccessful, leading to his conviction. Paisan consistently denied the charges in all three levels of court: the trial court, the appellate court, and the Supreme Court. Despite his denials, he was convicted and sentenced to 33 years in prison. Paisan fled before he could be imprisoned, leading to a prolonged manhunt that culminated in his capture yesterday, reported KhaoSod. The police team meticulously tracked Paisan’s movements, leading them to the remote hill where he was hiding. The arrest marks a significant accomplishment for the local police, who dedicated considerable resources and effort to resolve this decades-old case. In other news, a 16 year old boy was shot and killed by a 14 year old in Lopburi after the younger boy became jealous over romantic attention towards his girlfriend. The incident occurred yesterday. Police received a report at 7.05pm about a shooting at a three-way junction in Ban Nong Krathum, Maha Phot subdistrict, Sa Bot district, Lopburi province. Upon arrival, authorities discovered the body of a 16 year old boy lying on the roadside with a gunshot wound that had passed through his chest. by Ryan Turner Image courtesy of KhaoSod Source: The Thaiger 2024-08-26 Get the ASEAN NOW daily NEWSLETTER - Click HERE to subscribe -

Did Ann Coulter Really Do That?!?
All it says on the linked article is that she said "“Talk about weird …” Without more that is meaningless. I seem to remember a certain demographic attacked Trump's young son. Apparently it depends on one's politics as to what is acceptable. In any event, killing unborn children is a pretty awful thing to do and the Dems seem to want that for every female in the US. Methinks this is just another political left faux labelling of an opponent
