    Road side tips are a common practice, 2,000 baht at the station or 1,000 now and no receipt.

    We all know where the money goes

    But i thought the Dibble got half the fine anyway so the theory you mention is moot.

    The illegal practice that he mentions is not moot, it is well known as happening.   I believe that you're referring to the official 50% split of the collected fines between the RTP and the BMA but the RTP's 50% goes to the police station or area, not to the individual officer who wrote the ticket.

    so Lou. He can allow someone on Ko Panghan to sell ecstasy pills legally?? Really! 

    That is not what I posted in my response to BestB who made no reference to the sale of "ecstacy pills on Koh Panghan", that was a context that you introduced.  

    According to the Act, from which I quoted directly, what are considered illegal narcotics in certain social circumstances can be licenced for import as many of those narcotics are used for perfectly legal purposes.

    are not you resourceful

    What?  Was that a question or an accusation?  What "resourcefulness" are you going on about?

    Under the Narcotics Code, individuals who produce, import, export, distribute, or possess Category 1 narcotics without permission face a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison and a fine of 1,500,000 baht. 

     Where dies one apply for a license and permission to sell illegal drugs ?

    Exactly like CNN and MSNBC, etc., then.

    I'm guessing you've never watched these outlets....just spewing the talking points

    1)  I have watched them, frequently.

    2)  What "talking points" are you claiming that I have "spewed"?

    The empty vessel?  There are so many posters here (consistently) making so much noise about Fox and its presenters; what is it that is said about "empty vessels" and "most noise" or does that adage only apply to the enemy?

    (D)eny

    (O)bfuscate

     

    2/5 - you can do better than that.

    As could you...what are the daft brackets supposed to indicate?  What did I "(d)eny" or "(o)bfuscate" [sic], exactly?

    Next time at least spell check the thread title. Quite humorous, Who is Walters?

  8. What is more interesting than the bizarre OP is that so many Fox News haters (and chronically lame mockers of others who watch it) are now outing themselves by admitting to watching it.  Either that or, by definition, they're just expressing ignorant, unfounded and unjustifiable opinions without ever watching the channel!   I wonder if any of them will admit from which cable news channels, that are apparently so much better, they get their news?

    Yeah, good luck with that. The fact checking includes the talking heads, not just the news station anchors. So faux news is at 58% and CNN is at 22%. I watch CNN regularly and the only false info there is from the Republican pundits who spin their nonsense anywhere that they can.

    Pure lunatic mayhem, lies, propaganda, and conspiracy theories. Lots of middle aged peroxide blond presenters in short dresses and layers of plastic face paint trying to look attractive. It's pretty sickening to think it even has a place in the mainstream. It's basically a live streaming tabloid posing as a form of reality. 

    Exactly like CNN and MSNBC, etc., then.

    Example at hand Volvo-XC90 is the only car in the UK in which no passenger has died.

    Nonsense.  I've been a passenger (and the driver) in many vehicles in the UK from Bond Bugs to original Minis to Volvos to Silver Shadows and Corvettes (and many others in between) and, as far as I am aware, I have never died in any of them!

    No, not at all, notice the question mark that means I was asking a question.   I hoped you could answer it for me...what is a "fixed white line"?

     

    Apologies if I took your question within the context of your usual facetious and literal approach to these discussions.... 

     

    >>   Fixed White Line / Solid White Line / Unbroken White Line / Thick Solid White Line

    Thank you so much for confirming that "fixed white lines" as you describe them don't exist, they are all "fixed" to the road!

    a junction with a fixed white line

    ...as opposed to a loose, all-over-the-place white line?

     

    We feeling a bit 'literal' today LL ???  - take a sip of your juice...
