  1. misbehaving due to drunkeness can get you in trouble anywhere

    I think you've misunderstood the point of my post, it doesn't have to involve being drunk but I do think you need to be exceptionally careful in those situations.

    no you do not, you do not have to be more careful than anywhere else in the world, thailand by the way is still many time safer than USA/europe which does not have this 'face' BS thing. So, whats going on?

    Please,people, stop listening to BS like this,,,,you do not have to smile and allow a bully to fxx you right up the ass like this poster suggests because of where we are and whose nation this is- that is utter crap. And that is NOT thai culture. God, i hate sheep who post like this. 30 years and i and all my friend, who really respect real Thai culture( which does not say its okay to bash somebody if you lose face, and which is very lovely at its heart) have never, not even once fallen victim, or adopted this pussy mindset.

  2. I think the whole 'face' thing is overrated and over estimated and misunderstood.

    No one likes to be made to look stupid but westerners are mature enough to accept when they are wrong and understand that its part of life...Asians and Thais in particular just don't have that same level of maturity (in the same way that Children may not)...that is pretty much it....

    this post is total BS, forget about the face thing,. yes, 1 in 10000 may get hurt, same everywhere

    I have been coming here so many years, never over pay, never allow myself to be ripped off, made a policeman eat his own mobile phone, etc, etc, if you want to act like a sheep then the wolf will eat you.I hate farangs who post ' you must respect thai culture and allow them to bully to you " NEWS FLASH 1- its not thai culture, true thai culture is very respectful and polite and you do not help it, them or anyone allowing bullys to get away with it

    2- you do not,i never have, none of my friends ever have, ,,,face? we are polite, but if you overcharge us there is going to be a problem, what will not happen is that we will pay and kowtow

    yes,. you may take a risk, but by taking a risk you are not being what basically amounts to a pussy.

    Some people just pathetic. why not just bend right over with a sign saying " fxxx me right my ass" and be done with it.

  3. Slightly off topic. Less than 1% of American prison population are atheist.

    http://www.skepticfiles.org/american/prison.htm

    The same time less than 10% American scientists are religious.

    http://www.stephenjaygould.org/ctrl/news/file002.html

    Maybe just statistics but think about it...

    all desperate and sad people cling to something,, Thai's and most Asians do because most poor, have to work too hard, have little real hope in life because they are totally exploited by those who rule over them using their made up religion to do so.People in prison do same.

    But your stat on USA is totally flawed for one simple reason-people lie!

    In west one earns what is called "brownie points' by attending religious brain washing. This is the case in almost every prison I have studied from Uk- france, from USA to canada. They also attend because they are able to meet and make 'show friends' with people who help them with their parole.

    That is the only reason the stat so high.

    There is no way that they are this way otherwise. Look at the root cause of all things and they become obvious.

  4. We all know that the Thais are always right and everyone else is wrong. So what if the rest of the world criticises Thailand, they don't understand the Thai way and Thailand will be fine without them.

    wrong Sir, there is a line they cannot step across and when they do they get bitch slapped.

    The most famous and hidden is when the British/Americans bombed the area around the palace just after WW2 and sent a message. " , you betrayed us, do it again and those bombs we just dropped will level that building and many things you hold dear...'

    Of course no UK/USA diplomat will put it this way.One was quoted as saying " we simply wanted to remind them we still retain a degree of power and agreements should be kept"

    And, since them they have semi behaved.

    Behind the scene the west can do far,far more than what the locals would have you believe. They simply cannot risk exposure on some things or world wide boycott.

    Injustice/exploitation happens not because evil corrupt entity's like the Thai food industry use mafia like tactic to scare off people into complaining ( I went to one meeting in similar incident and the meeting hall was full of burly men with sour faces looking angry at any western male and going up to them asking them their name or if they were the gentleman making the complaint. It was so obvious what they were trying to do.It failed.)

    Thai food industry is able to operate under like mafia conditions because not enough people complain about it, stand up and against it- if they did, thing would change and the poor would get the respect and treatment they deserve.

    Right now, they are exploited.

  5. who is going to sit by and do nothing whilst this gentleman actually tried to help people from being exploited?

    **** Comments in all caps have been removed, there is no need to shout ****

    To the gentleman on trial WELL DONE SIR, do not lose hope or give, your efforts will not be in vain. other will now put extra efforts into exposing these pathetic cowards.They cannot silence you or the many or support you or the good work you and many do.

    Thai exploiting, corrupt,lame food industry- give it up, your already losing, don't lose more face by losing more.Treat people like you know they should be treated a fair wage, for a days work, provide good work conditions, good social practices and nobody will have need to expose you.

  6. the report failed to add - for an amount of money an inmate can easily obtain a phone with full internet access ( when there are serches a appointed gaurd with safegaurd it from those not paid off and return it later.Inmates who have this are advised to use in certain areas so not as to make others "jelous" some lease/rent them out.One west gangsters still runs his coccaine operation quite well via this service ), sex with a 'cute ladyboy", a nice room, favorable visit conditions that allow an inmate to have unobserved sex, favorable rooms,good foods cooked at place very close by,etc,etc,etc .

    The thai prison system is a joke and any attmept to make it look accpetable makes me laugh.

  7. who has taken magic mushroom/DMT? What happen's when you take them in correct way?. People all say same. We are what eat.These things changes us for good (,ever see mushroom /DMT associated violence, social disharmoney?)

    in exact same way Mcdonalds/drinking too much changes us for bad.

    The plants grow in the area in afrka where we all came from. The apes ate, tripped out and expanded their consciousness, to be exact, to be able to question ones own thought process ( the hallmark of a good trip) and so, they decided to expand.

    Evidence of their diet including these propetys has been recorded.

    Shamanic traditions, the most equal and not warlike would ingest during gatherings.

    This lecture says it all- as strange as it may be. But not nearly as strange a virgin giving birth, a talking snake and a loving god whohas murdered apx 30,000 innocent people yet who many in the world still beleive in!

    This is why we evoled to become what we are today

    This is silly. This non theory (not being necessary to explain anything at all, and having no evidence to support it), seems not to take account of the simple fact that evolution cannot and does not work through preservation of actions animals take during their lives. This is like believing that weightlifter's grandchildren will be born with big muscles!

    Evolution works through differential survival of animals with different genetic attributes. It has to be genetic in origin or it wouldn't be inherited, and therefore would not affect future generations.

    Eating a ton of magic mushrooms wouldn't affect how your grandchildren behave in an inheritable ( = evolutionary) way! Just random internet nonsense.

    Silly? mmm, my best friend was up until his late 20's a Commando Captain who would kill, torture, abuse quite freely and with great pleasure his captives, men under him,etc, a sexist, a theif, a racist.

    He was mirror image of his father.But not mother who was a hippy.

    She introduced him to these things in early 30's---- the change was incredable. Instant. He is now a champion of human rights, equality, even gay and aninal rights.

    And he extols this to his children, who when come of age will also probably partake.

    Do you not think that chrecterics of how ones brain is shapped is passed down from one parent to another? And those can be changed by these propetys?

    I do.

  8. I googled Fraser Clarke - nothing usefull came up.

    Can you give a link or more details?

    Fraser Clark: Monkey's Trip, ... REVERSING THE 'BIG LIE' THE TRUE STORY OF Monkey's Marvelous Trip From The African Jungle To Inner & Outer Space.

    Thanks for the link.

    An interesting theory, that certainly should be researched more - but who is going to fund that research?

    this is very important, because then Drake's formula (see in earlier posts) needs to be revised to include the probability of magic mushrooms.

  9. really,,,I think not, nobody dare's put their money where their mouths are. Somebody say they call my lawyer-a lie.

    The only one getting the slap is that cop-and you who speak too soon.

    Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. -- Carl Sagan

    to me its very normal- do what they did and I will act same.want evidence- ask my lawyer and go to thonglor with me.Can I get any more fair? Because you sheep do not like one who stands up and against these scum posing as cops I become the " bad guy" I am actually doing this for a good cause.To stop these fools disgracing their office and bully the sheep.

    My lawyer

    Mr Praychaya

    maybe he's on my payroll......

    maybe you lot need to to man up. they only do this because people like you let them.

  10. Who's your lawyer Hermes..? smile.png

    Mr Praychaya

    one of best in land, honest, kind, human-rights away, smart, hardworking

    I never let thai cops touch me, search me, they get angry, tryto muscles me, but thats hard in public, so have no choice then take me to station where my lawyers tells them the correct way they should behave.He also got me of slapping one and forcing him to eat ( well, I just stuffed it into his mouth )his own mobile phone in front of whole crowrd( for which I often get called a liar.....no problem). YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SUBMIT TO THESE TESTS.

  11. I'd much rather give 'death' to people who tell other people how to live their lives.. i don't know why priks like you 'care' so much what other people put into their bodies, that you think they deserve death because they decided to get 'high' off something that's not alcohol-which is legal and has been proven to be just as if not more destructive than these other drugs that are supposedly so terrible .. They need to end the war on drugs garbage.. ok there has to be laws and there has to be penalty for breaking them, but ruining the life of this nice Thai-American guy who got caught with a personal use amount of speed-4 years for that! and then life or death penalty for someone that's dealing it.. if you havn't hurt someone or directly damaged someone like a rapist or murderer-those are the people that deserve harsh sentences..and they often do less time that someone who got high--, THATs what i call injustice.

    OMG a human with sense.

    Its nobody business what someone chooses to do in this regard.

    And, look where we are, a nation that will happily sell its daughters, who top brasses bread and butter is just that and where if you have $$$ you will never go to jail.

  12. And, FYI, there are plently of poor souls who should not be there.Either innocent, set up ( as i once was) or suffering some other gross injustice ( recently I heard of case where a nice gentleman decided to split with his hi-so girlfriend. For that she had him arrested and sentenced to 6 months for stealing her hair dryer!

    Justice is never equal anywhere, here its a tragic joke.

    So, stop being a fool, and do something nice, it makes a differnce.

    There are some who have been fitted up, probably not plenty. However, you cannot arrange a visit with an innocent party or victim of Thai injustice. Unless you know somebody you are likely to get a drug trafficker, sex offender murderer or other undeserving case. In my view if you have time and a bit of money it's far better to help the real deserving like Schools, the poor or even Wats, than some criminal Nigerian drug traffiker or dodgy sex offender.

  13. Give drug offenders death and it solves the cost issue

    such total and utter brainless stupidity. Amazing that one can say that. Okay, lets look at what you said and destroy it step by step

    1- we are all drug offenders. You probably do not even know that.That fact speaks for itself. You have both possesed, comnsumed and transported illegal drugs. On a regular basis. So, you will happily put your own head in the nose will you? Probably a good thing.

    So, how shall we handle this little dilema? in your logic- we all die.

    2- drugs,,,,and do you include smoking, drinking in area's, countrys,etc that forbid it.That deserve death does it?

    How about some medicines.

    Many meds that one can get in west are unobtainable here and technically illegal.

    Death? Oh dear....

    3- Solve the issue?.

    You obvioulsy have no idea.

    Why bother even making a comment? If I was to get death for certain for eg- taking adderal, which is illegal here I would up the ante.

    Stop I would not do.

    I will never allow any goverment in the world to dictate what i choose to take not take.

    And this one- what a hypocrital joke that would be.

    If necessary I would carry means to escape , eg gun, I would run, and probably take hostages. create merry fxx, go quitely i would not.

    I would, and almost all prisoners I speak to agree , make so much trouble it would cost YOU so much more. Yes, you. Happy with that? I thought not. Well, it would not cost you because you said ' all drug offenders should die and technically you are one too.

    Plus, many prisoners tell me they are so bitter in what they term unfair sentencing they leave hell bent on revenge when they leave.

    Tell them they are getting death and you would have a war on you hands.

    Even i would start a whole range of things that really fxx up a goverment which was so dumb it would cost that society a fortune, i would totally support acts of terrorism specifly targeted at those who endorsed such laws ( which death pentaly also is)

    Want that on your hands? I tell you what, you better go and rethink this one.

    For one, its never going to happen. for two, looked at how it can never work and how hypocritical it is.

  14. Why would you want to? You have to assume that the residents have done something very wrong so why would you mess with seeing them. All you will hear is how unfair it is that I got 50 years for getting caught with 2 kilos of cocaine.......bla bla.

    Watch the Discovery Channel film BANGKOK HILTON and call it your "Visit".

    why would you want to? A really DUM question. Errr.. because its a good thing to do. Apart from the pathetic failed hypocrasy of the whole world's way of dealing with something that YOU/I pay for .

    50 years-out in apx 6-8, straight back at it, the chances of ever seeing the inside of a jail, facing " justice" ( what a joke- we're all technically guilty of this ' crime") are so minscule that all prison is,is truly a university of crime.

    WE, you/I, for supporting such a stupid veiwpoint pay a huge sum for this.We have to pay for their keep.We give them a free education and network they avail themselves to and vastly promote the very 'crime" we are supposed to be stopping.

    It will never work.

    And, FYI, there are plently of poor souls who should not be there.Either innocent, set up ( as i once was) or suffering some other gross injustice ( recently I heard of case where a nice gentleman decided to split with his hi-so girlfriend. For that she had him arrested and sentenced to 6 months for stealing her hair dryer!

  15. thank you for your kind concern.

    I have been a visitor for many years.

    I would suggest you decide which nationality you would like to see and call the relevent embassy.

    The european one's are the best and will welcome your inquiry.

    Others may just try and brush you off. The majority of european/american will be for drug offences.

    Other's may include sex offences and if this bothers you please make sure you mention it before hand.

    Some prisoners are very positive and make an interesting day.

    The condition in which they are kept is nothing short of disgusting and inhumane. The whole system regarding drugs and the punishment of these people quite absurd-as it is everywhere else on this planet.

    For now all we can do is bring a little lightness into these poor peoples lifes.

    Details-

    You will have to get their name, from embassy, give yours, bring ID, and show it and agree to surrender to body check at times.The guards are very nice who deal with this.

    There is a shop where you can buy some food- always wellcome.

    It is very easy to reach and a worthwhile investment of time.

    To me it prove the totally flawed international justice system and way we deal with these "criminals"

    THANK YOU

  16. I googled Fraser Clarke - nothing usefull came up.

    Can you give a link or more details?

    i wonder why, maybe i spelt name wrong

    pls try again

    best I have ever heard

    he has scottish accent and his lecture " the great lie' is the single best one i have ever heard on this.

    He come as close as possible in proving the utter absurdity of relgion and the real rational behind them all,

    also how they are all basicly the same and why they promote what they do.

    He also goes far deeper in disgussing the pagan relgions how they came into being and why they left, the differnce bettwen fake relgions and their true origin and why primate became man.

    The only hard part for many on this truly great lecture is that part ( why primate became man.It was no accident in one sense and yet, certainly by no God type design. I totally accpet it because I have excpericed it)

    to some it sounds so far fetched, to other like terrence mcknenna, Hawkings, and so many more, its make perfect sense espially when matched with hard evidence. Which it has.(dawkings admiting it sounded very likely possible-he says he know that they ( we) did oneday decide to walk out of the jungle and the results are us, but reserves complete agreement on the why because he is not an expert in that feild.

    Fair enough.

  17. The problem with agnosticism is that it leads to Pascal's Wager. If you don't know whether or not (a) God exists, would it not be wiser to act as if there were one, considering the consequences (none if one doesn't exist, eternal damnation or bliss if there is one and you picked the right/wrong one)?

    I imagine being agnostic as standing in front of a naked electric wire, not knowing if it is live or not. Now you can say "I don't know if touching this wire will kill me or not", but unless you're taping for "Jackass 4", you're not going to touch that wire.

    Faith would mean trusting your 25 years younger Thai wife or her brother to flip the breaker.

    An atheist of course uses an instrument of science to test for a live current.

    But seriously, how does someone who labels himself "agnostic" manage not to be either atheist of believer?

    you do not understand atheism if you need to ask this question. We cannot proof there is no god.We do not say there is no god.We make no assertion.it is therefore not up to prove anything.

    And we point at relgions total lack of a single shred of credible evidence and say " i choose not to belive based upon evidence, or lack of.

    If you show an athesit evidence he would, or should change.

    There are no real athists because if you say there is no God, you become a "anti-atheist" and must show some evidence.

    Atheist like me must conceded in the possibility and that I have no idea what happens when I die ( nor any real care)- therefore in fact we're all agnostic.

    Agnostics concede the possibilty.

  18. The Four Square Church of Atheism meets at a bar every Wednesday in Pattaya. There we sing lovely hymns such as " There is no God " and " Where Will I Go When I Die " . We all adjourn after 12 beers with a lovely wench to our little monastic cells.

    I am sure this is meant in jest- and please accept my apology if it it is

    if not I think any spent mocking anyone without any hint of sometime positive or an alternatiove offered, this is the true label of what the brits call a 'sad bastard'.

    Most relgious people are fine, good people, and very well meaning

    yes, they should slowly come to understand exactly what blind faith causes but only by polite discouse. And then after indulging in so much beer to go out and expoilting a young female simply because you benifit from living in a land which is truly backward because of the ideal's you mock quite pathietic and morally disgusting.

    Atheism is about truth- the truth is 'men" like you give it a bad name.

    You disgust me.

  19. I think we are mixing 2 different issues.

    1/ Is there a god / gods?

    I don't believe there is, but I completely don't care that others do believe, to me it is not an issue, what does it matter?

    2/ Organised religion.

    Every organised religion is evil, stupid, nonsensical, based on indoctrination, backward.

    Of course one could argue that believing in god(s) will inevitably lead to organised religion.

    But let's be optimistic.

    Stranger things have happened.

    After all, is atheism not the fruit of the christian culture?

    no,its not, athism existed long before and was the driving point of some main teachings.

    Please check out the lectures by Fraser Clarke.

    And anyone who think the debate of relgion vs athism is just " hotair" is pretty dum,, is the debate between tuth/untruth, progress/ no progress- just 'hot air'?

    Relgion is the fruit,. a rotten one of the male agenda ego.

    A tool needed to control idiots and at same time make then blindly follow it and..... the genius part of it, do so blindly because it offered them what the fool/backward craze for so much= feel special/valued/loved/important.

    The 'fruits' of this so wretched man (male) man enity " fath" doing something because the bgig juju wants to you and has a nice little plan just for you! can be seen throughout history,,, the suppression of the female, the crusades, the inquistion,the reasons why some nations are really messed us with little hope of real progress any time soon.

  20. Incidently Dawkins considers there to be a scale of Atheist belief, he rates himself a 10 because he is utterly convinced that there was no supernatural element in the building blocks that created earth. I would consider myself perhaps a 9 because I cannot entirely rule out some form of ' alien ' contribution. It is however a huge leap to then believe that said ' alien , billions of years on continues to guide and mould mankind. Hence I completely reject the theist concept of a God , that makes me an atheist.

    '

    no he never did- not even once. He rated himself 9.9.All true athists are agnostic in that we must, because we choose to go where the evidence leads us and we cannot prove there is not a god, only that its incredabley unlikely beyond all plausiblity ( which God, there are 2000, why no evidence)

    And so, unlike relgius people, we must keep a tiny shred open for that.

    Remember, atheist do not say " there is no god' that is anti-athiesim. We just say " based upon what we see and what you claim but are totally unable to show- we choose not to beleive in your assertion- we make none, we need show nothing'

  21. so , so wrong , athsim has nothing to with it because about beleiving the universe was created by sceincitfic chance. We often do not really beleive in chance either.We only need point holes in relgious theory- its is the one making the assertion. NOT us.

    Although many athists may talk like that.That is their opinion.

    This does not concern us and should not. All we point to, all we are concerned with is relgion's total and utter failure to even so much as show a shred of credibility .

    Relgions lack of evidence is what concerns us.

    We do not like 'faith" we like science because unlike talking snakes, virgin births,. flying chariots,etc,etc which are devoid of evidence we can demostrate all we claim.

    You can show- nothing.

    Its that nothing that is cauing the death of relgion.Common sense is prevailing.

  22. I respect those who say the truth " I believe ...there will be a place in heaven" is fine. I used to believe in father Christmas. Now I do not because we all know he does not exist.

    We also all know that there is not a shred of real evidence of either God's ( all 2000 of them) nor heavens or hell's or vitually anything claimed by any of major relgions.

    And yet, as adults we still seem to want to cling to these.

    I think the word 'faith' ( accepting something without any evidence) very dangerous.

    Would you book a hotel on faith?

    Buy a car on faith?

    Find the best doctor for your loved one on faith?

    No, you would use a logic chain as you do in every other area of your life to decide.

    It will be based upon rationality which would weed out who/what is viable.You would not hear '

    I choose XXX just because it was written 2000 odd years ago in an old book which can be read 1001 ways, is devoid of substantial evidence, but I was told to just "have faith' so to hell with the logic I apply to everything else, i choose XXX anyway"

    Religon exists because is appeals to ones ego ( you are special and loved), allays the fear of death and provides the 'feel good factor" .

    Without that one could not expect to see something so utterly flawed still in existence.

    A sad statement upon mankind.

    Atheism is the 'faith' that the universe was created by chemical chance.
