Earthquake Rocks Bangkok: Building Collapses with 40 people inside
Good post. Certain people won't have any time for common sence posts like this (they've probably invested in condos build in the last 20 years that could be worthless or worth way less than bought for). In Japan quakes of similar magnitude might have made a glass fall from a table and be a minor inconvenience, but that's about the extent of the damage. Not left buildings uninhabitable for the foreseable. -

FBI Agents in Southeast Asia Implicated in Misconduct with Prostitutes
File photo for reference only A report from the U.S. Department of Justice has exposed incidents involving FBI agents in Southeast Asian countries, including the Philippines, engaging in sexual activities with prostitutes funded by local law enforcement. The investigative summary, released on March 27, covered misconduct occurring between 2009 and 2018, as highlighted by the New York Times. In 2018, a specific incident in Manila reportedly involved FBI agents accepting sexual services paid for by an undisclosed local law enforcement agency. While the report identifies Manila as one location, it also notes similar activities by FBI personnel in other Southeast Asian countries without specifying further details. The allegations encompass a range of questionable behaviours, including five FBI employees soliciting sex overseas. In one case, an FBI employee allegedly provided a colleague with a suspicious package containing approximately 100 white pills intended for a foreign law enforcement officer. Another incident involved questionable conduct at a karaoke bar, where employees were given room keys or numbered papers linked to hotels, with a supervisor reportedly present. This event included two employees sharing a room and engaging in sexual acts with prostitutes. Philstar.com has sought comments from the Philippine National Police, the Philippine Department of Justice, and the U.S. Embassy, but no responses have been received. In the Philippines, prostitution is illegal but remains prevalent. Under Article 202 of the Revised Penal Code, engaging in regular sexual activities for money is punishable. The Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act further classifies such acts as trafficking, imposing sentences of six to 12 years of imprisonment. As the report emerges, it highlights the challenges of addressing such misconduct in regions with legal and cultural complexities surrounding prostitution. The implications for international law enforcement cooperation remain to be seen, pending further comments from involved parties, reported Philstar. -- 2025-03-31 -

More Wise issues
Whilst I agree with your assessment of larger transactions it is likely that the much better exchange rate (usually) with WISE will always outweigh the higher fees. Your final statement is misleading as the fees are irrelevant without also quoting the respective rates of exchange. As a retired bank manager any SWIFT transfers I do are free................it is still noticeably more cost effective to use WISE. -

Government Hires Crackpot to "Study" Nonexistent Link Between Vaccines and Autism
There is no mountain of evidence, RFK jr hopefully will start the ballrolling with a full and transparent analysis of this so called "settled" issue which is in fact far from proven,settled or set in stone..."science" should not reject scrutiny...things set in stone are more like religion than science. RFK jr is not anti vaccines he is anti rushed,untested and mandatory vacines. -

Naval Academy Moves to End Diversity Policies in Admissions and Library Holdings
Exactly! Blacks need to get back in the kitchen as cooks. You CAN'T have them sitting as equals next to White Christian Nationalists (or Nat-C's for short) in the chow halls. -

Earthquake Panic Empties Andaman Coast: Tourist Numbers Plunge
How TF can they anticipate and earthquake in Burma? I guess youre one of the AN Thai bashers! I have not seen any announcement that they have surveyed every building, perhaps that have looked at the main ones and are in the process, but I'd say its impossible to have done the entire city in 3 days. I suggest you have made that up. As for down playing it, well, they got away relatively lightly, no need to have the world thinking thailand was flattened, as has been doing the rounds on social media, or do you think its best for everyone to panic unnecessarily? I think your POV is just negative toward Thailand.
