Normal posters cannot start a new topic in the "Thailand News" forum.

As for nasty stuff especially when it has to do about women, a bit of double standards there. If nasty things can and may be said of men who dabble in politics, why not about women who get into the arena?

There are forums on a myriad of subjects effecting people who live in Thailand on Thai Visa. I find it difficult to believe a person could be so myopic as to not have at least one question about something other than politics while living here.

It seems to me there is something else going on. Like I said, although I have posted on Thai Visa for quite a while I never ventured much into the realm of politics. You have been a member for 10 years and have over 6,000 posts and you have never started a topic. Does not that strike you as odd?

You are correct I do have a double standard.  I never say nasty things about a woman.  It is the way I was brought up.  I can disagree without being nasty.  

Getting a bit off topic, but ...

I think I once started a topic, but mostly I first search and find, which means no need to ask.

As for nasty things about women, my mother at 84 is still capable of pulling me by the ear for being impolite Posted Image Mind you, with some verbal fluency it's possible to be both polite and politically correct and still devastate in a nicely phrased judgement Posted Image

Well said, Uncle! :)

Tino - are you in denial as to the evidence presented to your own eyes?

Or are you going to claim it was photoshopped?  If so, please provide some evidence.

Is this the USA way now? Provide some evidence because I think in a groove?

Sir you need to calm down! I am calm... Oh tazed me to death already...

Don't repeat smart talks or they will end up not being smart anymore... Just be objective and THINK.

No it is not photoshopped, I see one today in the big mall in Chieng Mai with Army Force Written under it in a clothes/fasion store.

Does it mean the person who put it on is aware of the WWII and so on? No it will also not provide evidence your way.

I know dam well what I am talking about, I come from Rotterdam if you know the history of it I don't have to say much more.

Indeed I did think.  And when I read your comment, "Specialy if you see what you want to see." I was aghast at the disdain you showed to the previous poster.

And what makes you think it is "the USA way"?  Good lord, take a pill, chill out...

At least you admit the shirt itself is real.  The fact that you are from Rotterdam does not give you an exclusive right to the understanding of the meaning of the symbol.  Bit of a high horse you're on, careful you don't fall off.

In Topic: Constitution Court Disqualifies Red Shirt Co-Leader Jatuporn Of MP Status

Quote:  "Red-shirt leader Jatuporn has arrived at Constitution Court; he says he's not worried about the verdict as it's a minor issue /TANN"

Well, if losing one's status as a Member of Parliament is a "minor issue" then I wonder his contingency plan is...

In Topic: Open University Degree - Getting Tired Of The Questions

It's annoying to be put on trial by the ignorant, but maybe you have to be prepared for insularity, even among people who ought to know better, especially if they've got something you want.

The Wikipedia article on the Open University has some very good information.  Perhaps some extracts from that or something similar in bold, large font and colour may sway your skeptical inquisitors.

chonabot, I was originally from the US, but even so, I'm aware of OU.  So, congrats on earning your degree.  Perhaps the Americans in your interviews made the unfortunate jump from OU to "open learning" which is an unfortunate phrase describing the many on-line diploma mills in the States.  I got my undergrad degree part-time nights and weekends over a lot of years, and still think that working whilst going to school is the best way to go, albeit the hardest.

I've got to agree with Xangsamhua.  A judicious cut and paste on the Wiki article, then highlighting, enlarging, and colouring in the appropriate bits, should give you a factual, educational, and entertaining handout for your interviewers.  Besides (and I'm not Thai-bashing), the Thais I know enjoy a bit of colour on their documents!
