  1. Democracy is an inferior form of government.

    Sir, Your evidence.Other than your life isn'tworking. So you cast blame.

    Democracy dies not protect its citizen from majority rule. The tyranny of the majority can be as intolerable as a malignant dictator. A Representative Republic offers better protection and eliminates the one vote one person.

    And what country/countries have this form of Government? Or is this a Utopian dream?

  2. Wow, they must have been buzzing. Let’s close down a street and have a race. The adrenalin rush would be off the limit, and then just getting organized and the Police and Army start chasing you all over the place. And if they are caught and charged they become a hero. What great imagination and guts these guys have.

    My mates and I used to do exactly the same in the UK. The excitement was brilliant. And the girls loved to watch ……………………..just a different prospective

    Truth is not above the law when it comes to social disorder. This is my perspective not prospective!

  3. In Thailand, I've mostly experienced anti-Americanism from people from the UK and the Euro continent. I mean direct in your face irrational disdain to my face just because I'm American. I find this funny because the feeling I get is that they think they are smarter and more sophisticated than Americans. They seem to think all Americans are hicks with no "culture" who are Fox News zombies and think exotic cuisine is a hamburger with an avocado. Basically, to make that assumption about any random American they meet is simple BIGOTRY.

    Also sometimes I've experienced random people coming up to me and going into an anti-American rant to my face assuming I am not American. These are priceless moments when I speak back to them in my ... American accent. I actually don't confront them. Just the look on their faces is payback enough.

    It's ironic because many Americans (who can't afford to travel outside the U.S. ) are crazy about people from the U.K., Australia and New Zealand, especially because of their accents, music and actors.

    I've been to the UK. So, I know the people there are nice. However, I've always wanted to go to Australia and New Zealand. But, after hearing their venom towards Americans, I'm not so sure.

    "Venom towards Americans" Where did you get that one from?

    As a New Zealand citizen, living in and also being a citizen of Australia, where it is common sport to "wind" each other up and for both of us countries to "wind up" Americans is simply an enjoyable game to play. Hardly rates as venomous!

    Edit: Spelling error.

  4. La Monita for the pork carnitas Cali tacos.

    For Mexican head to the place beside Paradise Park on Sri nakarin.

    That's a bit of a trek to be honest...not tried the food yet....always end up there on a Monday when they are closed....dunno why....

    Gotta give up the booze!! cheesy.gif

  5. An utterly impossible demand

    Foreigners don't understand Thainess.

    Isn't that right?

    True.

    Thais themselves do not always agree abut what it is either.

    It is an idiot word, someone came up with trying to explain an entire nation.

    What is Farangness?

    Ask a Thai cheesy.gif

    oh dear.

    yet another who rolls on the floor from his own joke.

    Yes, a cynic having a laugh about the "silliness" of this conversation.

  6. I imagine the ptp ministers would be ensuring they have removed all the evidence of their corruption and of course all the porn. Then again they might think because they are so special they can just keep them.....

    I bet they have pawned them...biggrin.png

    Pawned or porned? cheesy.gif

  7. "However, he declined to give any more information to the police and refused to attend a press conference held today by the police, claiming that he wanted to consult his lawyer."

    Arrested and then let go? Someone who knows someone?

    It doesn't say anything about him being let go. He just didn't want to attend a press conference where everyone points at him.

    I merely posed the questions.

    But, if he was in police custody I would have thought there would be no choice about "attending a press conference"?

  8. Waste of breath and time. Israel does not want a fair peace, for while hostilities continue, they can continue to build settlements and kill Palestinians, both things Israel likes doing.

    The ONLY peace Israel will agree to is 100% their terms, ie something like "All established settlements, Golan Heights, all already conquered land, all of Jerusalem, and all un-settled Palestinian land with aquifers to become part of Israel officially.. Also, to continue to blockade Gaza, and for the UN not to admit Palestine as a sovereign state.

    Bastards

    And Hamas is doing no wrong? Just asking.

    In case you want or need to know, I don't particularly like either side.
