It is a young mans dream to travel the globe. The stout of heart do and some find early death in a geophysical circumstance that had prevailed for eons. Such is the mystery of chance. Rest in peace dear traveler.

I have been working over 35 years in the field of geophysics. How much longer can I expect to dodge the bullet?

I am in Astrophysics. How long do I have?

#5195111 Resistant Malaria Spreads Rapidly To Thai-Myanmar Border

Posted bangkokburning on 2012-04-06 09:06:52

Very troubling. Dengue is already pandemic here.

This is Fulciparium malaria note.

Funny, when I meet all these (stupid) European hippy types young and old in the islands and they pull out their citronella and all sorts of non-deet concoctions. I always tell them I prefer to put poison on my body, greatly outweighs the risk of severe illness from Dengue or death from Malaria. They laugh...hah hah.

Give me the 95% DEET every time!

Basically same article from AFP:

Sucks really.....only doing what America does.

Don't for one minute think America is the only country on this planet selling weapons. They all do.

The US had him extradited illegally because the Russians have already succeeded in buying off half each of the local governments of Pattaya and Phuket. The Thai judiciary has clearly demonstrated a long history of failure to be impartial and independent. If the United States could have successfully guaranteed a transparent extradition hearing for Bout in which all deciding parties avoided peddling influence, I'm sure the US would have done that. There's no logical reason to freely give Russia ammunition for diplomatic tension. If Bout had been successfully captured in UK, Australia or Europe, you can be sure the extradition hearing would have occurred and been legal.

Please provide a list of laws that were broken with the Thai extradition of Bout to the US.

Your last sentence is redundant since Bout was NOT arrested in either of the three legal domains you have listed. The laws there have no bearing on this topic.

Only 25 years after all the people who have been murdered with illegal weapons that he sold?

Are you kidding me??? This guy has sold weapons for the U.S where the U.S couldn't be seen selling weapons to certain countries. He's been in business with them all along, and now they crucify him for whatever reason! Besides how many people are killed by American soldiers on a daily basis all over the world in the name of OIL!!! The American government has killed more people than any other nation on this planet!!!

Oh, I don't know about that last statement. Did you forget Germany, Russia, Japan and China during the 20th century?

Edit in: Please tell us how many people were killed yesterday by US soldiers in the name of OIL. Betcha can't do it!

What an absurd remark.

No donot leave change the people who you hang out with and stop reading the newspaper. This stuff happens every where. The latest from the states was a buch of college students being killed. If you are from the states you cannot go there.

After four hours of futile negotiation, the police decided to fire a taser gun at Sakdawut's back

Pure genius.

Good thing he was not carrying balloons on the BTS - they would have clubbed him with something in 4 minutes. Posted Image

I find it rather odd that the Thai govt have no issue in excepting this good will offering of building a new school from the USA,but refused their help during the worst flooding for fifty years.

No they didn't - the US military was quite active in helping during the floods - but don't let the facts get in the way of a good rant lol
