Knowledge allows one to build an atomic bomb. Wisdom keeps one from using it.

Where was this website when the Abhisit government was in power? Oh, that's right, there was obviously nothing there to criticize. Yeah, right.

"Mr Kaewsan said the government was trying to use...

That's an interesting joke Susana, and it raises an important point. The interesting part is that the man was in HEAVEN asking why God didn't save him. It is interesting because only a saved person...

Let us not forget that less than 100 years ago most dentists were also cutting hair. ;)

I am not much of a fan of dentists either. I think they forget who the customer is. They never seem concerned with what I want and insist on telling me what they are going to do with MY mouth. I...

"There is just an ocean of a difference between just sharing an opinion, telling what I would do personally, stating how I feel..... or stating that others are morons for having a different view of...

Yeah, the guy committed vehicular homicide, but let's hold off on the hearing until we decide whether to charge him with speeding. How silly is that?

"National Insurance" plans are nothing more than pyramid schemes and the bottom of the pyramid is already collapsing in most countries that have them (e.g., Social Security in the U.S.). The...

Predisposition to cancer is primarily genetic. My grandfather lived to 97, died in his sleep, and was active and alert until the day he died. My father (currently 90 y.o.) inhereted the same...

Modern medical care has evolved beyond a right to become some sort of social obligation. I refuse to be so obliged.

If I can't survive naturally, then I'll just die. I am not afraid of dying;...

I don't often remember my dreams for very long after I wake. They are usually pretty cool though, and I often would prefer to stay in the dream world than wake up and have to deal with 'reality'.

Thanks to all who appreciated my post. I have been reading and contributing to the forums for nearly a decade. Wow, has it really been that long? I have seen many come and go (e.g., Seeker AKA...

Although I visit regularly and look for new posts to read, I often find that the novelty has worn off. I have been to Thailand many times and have a Thai wife and family (kids, grandkids, in-laws,...

Good, no reconciliation for you!

How can you refer to Thais as "these people" when they are all nice enough to refer to you as "farang"? How calous and disrespectful of you ;)

"However after 10 years of living in Thailand I have a tiny amount of experience regarding Thai ladies." Shouldn't this read, "...I have a tiny amount of experience regarding Thai bar girls"? ...

Bigoted comments are inappropriate and unwelcome. There are other sites that are perfect for the type of individual that wants to parrot anti-Thai stereotypes.

"Maybe she thinks it a bit too soon to be making declarations of love." I have to agree with Susana on this one. I think it was a bit early to be declaring love. Three weeks on Facebook??? The...

That's the hard part about being an adult; you have to learn how to control yourself. This person's behavior was more like that of an impertinent child. Prisons are built to keep people who can't...

A little over 10 years is a very short sentence as it is. To shorten it even more is a total miscarriage of justice. In the U.S., premeditated murder alone will bring a life sentence and it is...

I like the lack of an "official" presence (i.e., law enforcement, government regulaters, social workers, etc.) in the coutryside. The very definition of liberty is limited government. The people...

I go to Thailand to get away from "civilized" countries.

I drive all the time when I am in Thailand and I've never had a problem. I don't think Thai drivers are any worse than Los Angeles drivers. Of course, I spend very little time driving in the city...

I guess the most unusual thing I've eaten in Thailand would have to be fried silk worms. They are quite good too :)

If you want to walk, take the stairs. Escalators are for fat lazy people like me 555

Yeah, it is a good idea to take a proper gander at what you write before posting it.

Yeah, damned propergander ;)

If the children are living with their parents, then the parents should be deported and, by extention, the children with them. If the parents are gone and the children are orphans, then they should...

"...why should you have to disappear if you do not agree with something." Because certain elements of this site are offered for access to members only. To become a member of this site, you have to...

Typical government "solution" to the presenting problem. As ususal, it will have zero impact on public safety.

Ho, ho, ho! Thanks for that bit of holiday enlightenment, Mr. Paul. ;) Happy Holidays to one and all!

Ho, ho, ho!!!

I always thought it was the "magic dust."

I like economy of expression and, while all are technically correct, I would say, "I have a test tomorrow." Shoot for the fewest words required to express the thought and you will always be easier...

I never eat at McDonalds. To me, it's little more than low-grade dog food. It is hard to imagine they could do a good business in Thailand, where there is so much really good food readily available.

The wife didn't have a key to her own apartment and needed to get the security guard to let her in, only to discover the bodies? It sounds to me like she poisoned them and used the security guard to...

"...Abhisit Vejjajiva administration's crackdown of the violent red-shirt protests in 2010."

Those of us who don't suffer from severe memory loss clearly recall that the protests didn't turn...

I have used this bus terminal on several occasions and getting a centralized ticketing center is a great idea. It also wouldn't hurt to air condition the waiting area because it is always very hot...

I have been a member of this site since 2003 and I have seen it evolve over that time. What the moderators in the early days would have objected to would be fine now. That is a good thing to a...

Yeah, that one was a boomerang.

A Harley Davidson motorcycle, a good woman, a cold beer, a full belly, and a pocket full of cash. Who could ask for anything more?

"Alright you, put down the banana, back away slowly, and keep your hands where I can see them." 555

"The rally would be his last, he said. Either the government would go, or he would." Can't say that he'll be missed much. Whatever will he do with himself when he loses his pathetic "fight."

Richard, Have you traveled to India? I am planning on going and want to get around the country by rail, so would appreciate any experiences you could share.

"If the turnout is small, that would mean the group lacks credibility and the public does not approve of it." That's my prediction. Whether he actually calls off the rally is a whole other issue. ...
