Egypt sentences 3 Al-Jazeera reporters to 3 years in prison

Never suggested jailing these journos is in any way acceptable. Just calling out the BS claiming AJ doesn't have a strong bias. The current Egyptian government is indeed repressive but on the bright side they have been a strong voice against radical Islam. Pick your poison I suppose.
Accusing an individual or organization of "bias " is one of the tactics of the propagandist.

The KKK are biased. Neo-Nazis are biased. The Black Panthers are biased. Al Jazeera is biased. Not easily refuted, because all true.

...walking on the sidewalks in pattaya. there are two clear groups, who believe they can just make everyone else get out of their way, despite there being ample room for everyone to walk past each other without any issues. young chinese men walking with a woman. they walk down the middle of the sidewalks and expect everyone else to get out of their way. i lived in huai kwang for longer than i wished to and it was the same, as nine in ten of people walking down the street were native chinese wor

US Considering Asylum for British Jews

Evil Penevil · January 18Jan 18

That's a shocking headline. Apparently Jews are no longer safe in the U.K. as the government is unable or unwilling to tackle deeply ingrained and fanatic antisemitism. Listing Palestine Action was a good start, but doesn't go far enough. US considering asylum for British Jews The Trump administration is discussing the possibility of offering asylum to Britain’s Jewish population, The Telegraph can reveal. Robert Garson, Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, said he had been in talks with the state de

Is the Iran war the worst boondoggle in US history?

spidermike007 · 1 hour ago1 hr

It just might be, there are so many aspects of this war that remain uncertain, there's no question that Iran has outwitted Israel and the US on so many levels, and both were grossly unprepared with their strategies, and nobody knows where this is going at this point in time. This situation is expected to trigger a chain reaction across the global economy, from shortages of raw materials in the petrochemical sector to rising pressure on global food prices in the months ahead. Nobody wants that.

She makes an argument that Israel as we know it may cease to exist. Jews are already a minority, Israel is losing settlers through emigration and not getting as many settlers as it once did.

I live 100 metres from Naklua Road, I hear these morons on motor bikes going past every night particularly around 2 am. The roar of the bikes suggests that they are going flat chat. I don't care if they kill themselves but as usual innocent people are involved.

European Investors Prefer Vietnam Over Thailand in ASEAN
European Investors Prefer Vietnam Over Thailand in ASEAN

Jim Waldron replied to Georgealbert's topic in Thailand News - Discussion

European investors shifting toward Vietnam isn’t surprising anymore, it’s becoming the norm. Vietnam offers growth, stability, and a clear long‑term strategy, while Thailand keeps relying on outdated slogans about being a “hub” without doing the hard work to stay competitive. If this trend continues, the old label “Sick Man of ASEAN” will need to be changed. Based on this article, Thailand isn’t recovering. It’s getting sicker!

Do foreigners in Thailand really change or just adapt?

SoCal1990 · 13 hours ago13 hr

Had a vivid conversation last night with a group of about 10 expat friends at a relaxing restaurant down in Silom that ended up going all over the place. The group was mostly men, but a few women as well. Basically all people who live and work here and have some sort of busy lifestyle, as opposed to many foreigners living here who no longer work and end up staying home with their own comforts in some form of isolation. After we finished the meal and had a few drinks, what started as a simple c

Do expats in Thailand see relationships differently over time?

The Cobra · 22 hours ago22 hr

I’ve been thinking about this for a while and wasn’t sure how to word it without it sounding wrong, but here goes. Living in Thailand has changed how I look at relationships. Not overnight, and not in some dramatic way, but gradually over time. Back home, things felt more fixed. People settled into a certain pattern — similar age, similar background, similar expectations. Here, it feels different. The range of relationships you see is much wider, and the expectations don’t always line up the sam
