Ummm NO,

They had no choice.

You think they were gonna fight the Japanese, how could they ?  

What would you have done to ensure hundreds of thousands of your people were not slaughtered, and your cities bombed  ?

Cos we all know how benevolent the Japanese were against any occupied natives.

No doubt Guesthouse could have turned the war around if only he had been there.    

Why Thailand Fought On the Japanese (Axis) Side During WWII?


Simply put - Because they thought that the Japanese (Axis Powers) were going to win.

its pure wank, pandering to to those sycophants and sad sacks who frequent thaivisa as an alternative to genuine human contact.

given the average age on these fora is north of 50, you would think most had had their fill in school.

the trading of reputation, especially in the the thread introducing the the new "feature" demonstrates exactly how needy some on here truly are.

I am completely obsessed by this new feature and check my points constantly. I once pathetically begged for a greenie, but now that I'm in the 'excellent' category, am too proud to stoop to begging.

From the outset I've mostly been respectful of other posters, sparing, allusive and fair in my criticisms, thoughtful in what I post, minded my spelling, punctuation and formating and gone to great pains to avoid using those awful emoticons.  As such, point system or not, how do I improve on posting perfection? It's not fair!

Also, I've noticed that certain emotional topics, like the perennial red/yellow slugfests can be gold mines of greenies, once you've sussed out the audience and post appropriately. I've been tempted to go digging there, but decided it would be just too easy. Where's the sport in shooting fish in a barrel (or roping a 'girlfriend' at a go-go bar)?

Then there are those that get points just for showing up. While mothers are a legitimate voting bloc, here on TV, as a practical matter, they are a bloc of one for one. Whatever happened to 'tough love'? As my mom is not computer savvy, it's not fair!

Honest greenie whores with no helpful mothers or friends are left with little option but to spend hours honing their submissions, gauging member sentiment, and studying up on the most opportune times to post. It's exhausting and it's not fair!

What I'd like to see is a hair-pullingly complicated system where there are check boxes of (-)5 to (+)5 points on a whole host of subjective and objective criteria like spelling, punctuation, wit, grammar, relevancy, pathos, helpfulness, etc and where the weight given to each mark depends on the reputation level of the giver, which in turn varies from category to category. For example, those with high marks for wit should be given greater weight when judging the wit of others. If it makes everyone as nuts as I already am, well, then that would be fair.

You are missing the point here. These creeps were arrested and prosecuted. Humans rights abuses such as you mention are those perpetrated by the government of the offending nation. No nation is without criminals. however in some cases it the nation itself that commits the crime, not the individuals. This is clearly not the case in this instance.

agree with the above comment,

also wonder what affect his will have on the human rights scoring the us is always touting , perhaps that will be forgotten about again , hmm

You mean the most in debt economy in the world don't you? Your response is exactly what you'd expect off some Americans.

I'm not sure if this post could help you but I'll try my best

let's start with the word "ซึ่ง"

ซึ่ง by itself  means "which, who , that .. etc." in some sentences such as  'ผมอาศัยอยู่ในหมู่บ้านซึ่งอยู่ในป่า' means 'I live in the village which located in the woods '

"ซึ่งหน้า"or "ซึ่งๆหน้า" is more like an adverb means " Face to Face " or Openly or Directly or straight ...  so ซึ่งหน้า(or ซึ่งๆหน้า) is a word you don't have to separate it when you translate.

and your translation" I was too shy to bring it to her personally. To hire a child to run over and give it to her was again too embarrassing" is ok

20-25 (don't forget to save some for gas) Gulfstream V's for execs/top cats in the army, police, parliament, and of course Thai Airways.   Sorted.

None of these leagues crown their ultimate annual winners as "World Champions". Major League Baseball
has called their final series the "World Series" since 1903 when the name was more of a marketing statement. The winner of the World Series is called World Series Champions. MLB is the primary sponsor of the World Baseball Classic. The National Football League has playoffs, and a final game called the "Super Bowl", whose winner is called the Superbowl Champions or NFL Champions. The National Basketball Association has playoffs and the "Finals", the winner of which is crowned NBA Champions. The National Hockey League has playoffs where teams vie for the Stanley Cup, and are called Stanley Cup winners.
