Popular Post GentlemanJim Posted July 31, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2013 I think Thailand should forget all about trying to get various parts of it declared as World Heritage sites, instead, I think they should now lobby hard for Thailand to be given it's own independent status as the tenth planet in the solar system (yes I maintain that Pluto is still a planet!), as it consistently comes out with things that are so far off this planet it is deserving of the recognition. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pathetic is how even PT ministers try to cover up PTT's mess and convince locals not to sue PTT. Don't forget, Thaksin is a major shareholder of PTT.

rametindallas Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Instead of a 'Save the World' campaign, PTT should be taking out full-page ads in Thailand and around the World apologizing to the Thai People, the Thai tourist industry, the foreign and domestic tourists, those in the fishing industry, the people in neighboring countries and everywhere this pollution has caused, and eventually will cause, environmental damage. PTT was so ready to 'Save the World' that it only has 200 meters of oil boom. Another example of lip service over action and looks over substance. How many days is it and Plodprasop if just now admitting Thailand doesn't have the resources to fix this mess. The lies continue and all in authority are so incompetent that the best they can do is HOPE it is not too bad. The PM should cut her Africa trip and supervise the situation so it doesn't get any worse than it hast to. Too bad this government has its priorities so skewed. It is disgusting how little they (seem) care for the environment and those who depend on it. Edited July 31, 2013 by rametindallas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noitom Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Leave it to the detached aloof Thai marketing people at PTT to launch their campaign with absolute indifference to the spill. This spill was supposed to be "nailed" by the Thai navy as we read in this pages the day it was discovered. Not to worry was all the rage. This catastrophe on a global scale is now turning in to a typical Thai circus maximus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABCer Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) How typically Thai! The cynicism is striking! Do what you want. Piss on the feelings of people. Shit in your own home. Print a pretty catching slogan on a cheap shopping bag and distribute it free. The 'elite' have been doing whatever they wanted for so long and keeping their ranks closed so tightly, they have reached the top stage of mental degradation. The funny part is they really think they are smart! But the World is watching the obvious signs of inbreeding - moral and mental degradation.

stevehaigh Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 i am really happy to hear they know their priorities. i guess making online stickers is a lot easier than cleaning up oil spils in other news, Halliburton just accepted responsibly for crappy concrete on the Deepwater Horizons rig that spilled millions of gallons into the gulf of Mexico a couple of years back and and then covered up the information from investigators. The fine was a whopping $200,000! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wealth Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) Divers find unidentifiable matter under the sea "We found that some of the coral near the beach had also turned black," Achit Sitthichai, a marine expert from Marine and Coastal Resource Conservation Centre Division 1 in Rayong, said after a 30-minute dive to study the changes caused by the oil spill. He also found black sediments under the seabed in the shallow zone. "I cannot explain the cause of this change. We will have to wait for experts to identify these black objects and the change in the coral reef's colour," he added. http://nationmultimedia.com/national/Divers-find-unidentifiable-matter-under-the-sea-30211579.html -- The Nation August 1 Edited August 1, 2013 by wealth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
