Yes but the U.S do not consider this extreem but purely asking the victim a reasonable question.  Now if someone was to use the same technique on a U.S citizen just watch the outcry.  The U.S are accountatble to no one and they know it. If you speak out against them then you will get your face slapped

Not sure whether naivete or stupidity best describes what you have written. That gritty feeling in your eyes and ears is from the sand where your head is buried. To suggest that the USA is running around torturing people without provocation--and that using the same technique on a U.S. citizen would evoke an outcry--shows a gross ignorance of facts and trivializes the beheadings, the three thousand World Trade Center murders, and a whole list of other jihadist atrocities.

Still, those Americans defend your right to be ignorant and say what you will and they can only laugh at isolated rogue ignorance knowing that it is not a reflection on the countries from which such rogue ignorance has come; and that said countries are barely able to defend themselves in peacetime from immigration and economic aggression, let alone defend themselves against an imminent threat. First sign of trouble and out goes the call, "Uncle Sam, please-please help us, we are so scared."

You're quite right. That happened in WW2. Fighting against the odds against oppressive fascism the call went out for help and after a couple of years of thought and profit taking Uncle Sam finally hauled ass!

Thai/Chinese Phuket, her parents from Phuket to..

Were do you guys find your issan ladies? in bars or what. dont not understand how you can live with girls from Issan, most girls from issan  have no education and zero money, then you most send money home to the village each month haha

Well it's quite obvious that yours doesn't hang out with you for your cutting, Oscar Wilde-esque wit, the ability to construct a sentence with at least a semblence of cohesion  nor the basic skills ( possessed by an adult with an IQ above that of the average garden shed ) of being able to spell and punctuate better than a 5 year old. So it must be for the money.

Here's a hint. If you're going to insult people try at least to appear more intelligent than them rather than come across as somebody who points at areoplanes when they fly over.


#5013057 Chalerm Pledges To Eradicate Drugs Within One Year: War On Drugs

Posted nurofiend on 2012-01-29 11:24:16

maybe they should think about taking a different approach rather than declaring a 'war on drugs', because that seems to have only worked in... oh yeah... it's never worked...and it never will.

the very phrase is a joke in itself.

wars have an end...

the more you actually think about it, the more ridiculous it seems... a 'war' costing trillions of dollars worldwide on a few substances... a few substances that alter people's consciousness, some being addictive..

a 'war' that criminalizes these substances, which in turn adds far more death and pain and suffering..

and these drugs are available EVERYWHERE... so if they were legalized, availability wouldn't be any different... possibly less so, for younger kids...

if you medicalize drugs such as heroin... give it a generation and any bit of a 'cool' or 'rock and roll' factor associated with it would be diminished... it would just be seen for what it is, a cure for patients who can't handle society or their own personal existence...

also, obviously drugs would be a lot safer...

and just fyi,  the world wouldn't suddenly go batshit crazy if drugs were legalized!

but we'll just keep fighting the war, that seems to be working for society.

Shocking. Maybe workers should ask for their pay in advance or at least held in escrow.

Hardly - do you pay up front ?  Have you ever used Escrow services ? A more sensible comment would be to assess if they had received reimbursement for airfares which by the report they would not but also this is the same thing that happens to Thai people in Dubai - they pay their own way across and work in appalling conditions as indentured labour and get paid only when they finish in a lot of instances and can work a year with only meagre food and terrible accommodation provided and no-one does anything about it.

Not against this post but It appalls me why Farang constantly throw off at Thai's being the rip off merchants when is fact it happens in all society.  It is just more open here and mainly in a minority.  Here we have Thai workers willing to spend, travel and pay to be able to earn for their families as they can't get decent paid work here.  Then they get ripped off and these are the low end of Thai society not the hi-so scammers.  These are poor people/workers willing to risk what they have for work.  It saddens me to read this but again, looking at this guy walking with 17M Baht?  That won't buy much in Sweden for very long and the fool risks jail for 500,000USD?  Not a pro by any means.
