#5277059 Appointing Jatuporn Would Ruin Hope For Reconciliation: Editorial

Posted Bakseedaa on 2012-05-06 09:26:14

Why not make him a Cabinet member, he has about as much savvy as the cabinet in my sitting room, but he does not have the same shine...  The man is a complete ass and will do this government a world of good. The blind leading the blind comes to mind...   I love living in Thailand for these reasons..  nothing is unbelievable in this country..or impossible...  maybe he will stand for Prime Minister at the next election..  He would get my vote..

#3928349 Thai Court Delays Extradition Of Alleged Russian Arms Dealer Viktor Bout

Posted hammered on 2010-10-04 19:09:54

The filing of the extra case by the US was silly and overkill. Not surprising the Thai courts made this decision, and if a case is brought it should be heard for the sake of justice. It makes sense it is not just pulled. Let justice be done and not just poltical manouvering.

Im not commenting on the rights and wrongs of Bout here but the overly aggressive attempts of the US to use Thai courts to do exactly what it wanted, which were also not helped by sending a plane packed full of marshalls straight after the initial decision. Thailand is not a colony even if it surprises some it wont act like one.

What a turn around.. They should give this guy a medal of the highest order.. Like the earlier post said "thais getting screwed by farang, unheard of". Look what happens in thailand everyday we get screwed over in every sector, it's so refreshing to read a story like this and see the boot on the other foot.

Maybe if this did happen more often thais might treat us fairly, equally, the same same, that's all I ask.. Very good story, maybe a leson for the thai people.. :jap:

Very clever and cunning!

good luck to both of them. greed is a great way to go after people.

and the kid has chipped teath, probably head first over handle bars of a push bike or similar as most kids do at one time or another, and the mother not being able to afford treatment or maybe she is just a bitch, who knows! :angry:

anyway, at least the young lad is in good hands now.

How do you know the young boy is in good hands?

It will all boil down to the root of all evil. Money!
There is nothing evil about money. How would we manage our lives without it? How would you pay for you food, clothes, etc?

To say "Money is the root of all evil" is very different from saying "Money is evil".   The first expression is saying that if you examine evil you will find money at its root. It doesn't mean that all money and its uses are evil, but simply that evil is fuelled by money. If you say for example that "matches are at the root of most forest fires"  it doesn't negate the value of matches.
The original quote, from the Christian New Testament, 1 Timothy 6:10, is,"For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil." In general I notice that religious teachers do not greatly admire worldly wealth. Jesus taught that rich people will not go to heaven. Unfortunately his teachings were soon corrupted, and in the 15th Century Jean Calvin taught that worldly wealth in fact shows that God loves you. He also taught that only 4,000 people are going to heaven and they've already been chosen, so it doesn't matter whether you believe or not, nor whether you live a righteous life, if you are of the elect you're going to heaven and the rest of us are not. Sorry, this has nothing to do with the price of rice or armed men taking over a concession.

Four thousand, eh - and if wealth shows that God loves us, then presumably the 4,000 richest people go to heaven - wow, Forbes already has all these names.  This version of God sounds like he could have been a principle adviser to the Bush administration. As if we needed more evidence that it is all fairy tales compiled by a bunch of self-appointed religious scholars in order to consolidate their own power - which is almost indistinguishable from money, oddly enough.


#3918449 Thanks To Thailand's Newin, A Reconciliation - Albeit By Default

Posted TheBarbarian on 2010-09-30 12:34:49

The only thing Newin wants is to burry the wrong doing of murderous generals his own roll in applying fighters in black on the streets that caused the uproar during the Pattaya Summit and he wants hos political ban overturned. Their cannot be any reconciliation when protest leaders are accused of terrorism while the yellow shirts receiving bonuses from the military for raping democracy. The Nation should know better but they do not want to know better. They are themselves to blame for numerous innocent victims. Their directors brought yellow flowers to democracy rapists.

Thai at Heart.

With all due respect I am sure if you check you will find that bomb attacks and shootings happen on a pretty regular basis in Baghdad even with its current  level of presumed high level security.

The same scenario applied in Northern Ireland as well, I assure you that from my experience of being involved in military operations the urban terrorist is indeed a difficult enemy to pinpont.


The local authorities are not trained, nor are they even geared up to cope with the Urban terrorist scenario.

I am not meaning that a humble guard should go Rambo like to prevent something like this happening.  However, when something gets lobbed over the wall and damages the lawn and smashes some windows, I mean god forbid they have to actually walk around every 30 minutes or so to check the premises.  Who knows what could be out there?  Stray cat up a tree, burglar with a swag bag, the bogeyman, hole from a grenade in the lawn and some smashed windows.

I know it is a large facility, I know it is in the centre of town, I know TIT, I know, I know, I know.

However, an explosion in the general direction of where you are supposedly guarding is precisely that.  Obviously it wasn't worth a look, I mean who knows, it could have been a bomb.
