SoiBiker Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Never been to any of those places,, am i missing something? Yes. You're missing out on being able to speak only English and eat inferior versions of Farang food for inflated prices. 555 That's not entirely fair. They have inferior versions of Thai food, too.

thaibeachlovers Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I'm taking this one with a pinch of salt. I find it hard to believe that ISIS gives half a toss about Thailand. If they hit the obvious targets in LOS it probably won't be because of Thailand, but because they're a soft target in Thailand and the objective is to kill/ maim infidels. That's why they hit Bali- lots of infidels and little security. Just to be a bit cynical, if that photo is of KSR, the best thing that can happen to it is that it is removed from the face of the planet. It's always been a 'hole, but now it looks like something in the circles of hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovelomsak Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 If they want Russians I think they simply need to bomb condos full of Russian families. Do it in the middle of the night Take out first 2 floors and no where to go,quite simple really. Why go out in public with other people all around.

A building full of Russians would not gain as many outraged responses as a street full of revellers. The terrorists are not stupid, though our leaders would like us to believe so.

billd766 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Probably be Nanaplaza or Patpong then All that needs to happen is to block the entrance to Nana Plaza and there is NO other way out that I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not Thailand they care about, at busy times in high season, Khaosan Road and Walking Street are full of Brits, other Europeans, and Americans all bunched together. A perfect target for suicide bombers and shooters. Just imagine Songkran in Khao San road full of tourists and a number of IS suicide gunners and bombers.

smotherb Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 If the men get 47 virgins,what do the women get for blowing themselves up?47 feminist men to serve them day and night. You don't really understand feminism, do you? Hell no. I've resisted successfully. SoiBiker, please explain. Are you saying a feminist man could not please a woman? No, not at all. Just that feminism is about equality, not about men being subservient to dominant women as some seem to believe. On reflection, though, I think a discussion of the nature of feminism is perhaps beyond the scope of this forum. I think DrTuner's analogy is credible even though his accounting is suspect. Men who believe they are not superior to women would be rather good servants of women. If a discussion of this nature was beyond this forum, it would not stop the discussion.

Dibbler Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 yep, just a matter of time, so many other very busy targets that could be hit too and you only have to look at how the cops handled the last incident here eg giving themselves the reward a week after one person was caught etc. The difference between the Paris incident and here and how the police handled it was like night and day The difference between Paris police and Bangkok police is that the former are an agency concerned with public security and law and order and go through training to deal with situations like what was presented by the eight terrorists recently. The latter are mostly a revenue generating agency whose officers are expected to pay for their uniform, weapon and boots, and sometimes their positions, and then must find ways to collect revenue to pay it back. Very different recruitment and training processes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoiBiker Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Tulva appears to be the quarterly publication of the Feminist Association Unioni in Finland. An interesting organisation. On their rather informative website, they describe their aims as "to promote political, economic and social equality of the genders and to achieve its goals of a human society based on equality and tolerance". http://www.naisunioni.fi/english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some countries already do this - Kurdish fighters? And also daesh terrorists. Actually, men and women can be equal but will always be different. It is the last part of that sentence that those who are into "political correctness" do not seem to understand. The world is not "gray/grey" as some would like us to believe.

True, but remember in Paris the gendarmerie were happy to allow the islamists to create their own mini caliphates where only Sharia applies, and a uniformed police officer walking in such an area would be beheaded in seconds by allahu akbar chanting religious nuts. Compared to Bangkok where the utterly clueless police have still managed to keep full control of all population sectors(except the v rich). The muslims will have an easier job attacking in France than here - where nobody in Bangkok except for a few liberal demented foreigners support their evil plans.
