As it would be the Christian extremists have alienated themselves from the general population. But with the risk of legal challenges from the Thai courts for distorting facts, it will prove to be at the very least a popcorn eating event once it starts to unfold. [Read more →]
Unfortunate as it is, it seems every religion has its own bunch of extremists. Muslim extremist are most often in the news because of their violence. However there is one thing in common amongst all religious extremists, and that is they all have very far from 20/20 vision including Christian extremists. [Read more →]
In what was meant to spark a scandal that the Thai government allegedly was planning to kill Thaksin, has simply backfired on the Red Shirts. Two thumbs up from the public endorsing the idea is not exactly the response they had in mind. [Read more →]
Thai denial about past reality was cited in a story we posted named “Say it isn’t so”. There also seems to be a denial about the future and likely man made disasters caused by the laid back ‘don’t worry about it’ nature of Thais. All you need do is look at Thailand’s biggest industrial estate ‘Map Ta Phut’ in Rayong, and you can very quickly connect the dots why fears of Thailand building nuclear power plants is completely and totally justified.

In voting results that can only be described as an eye opener, nearly 2 out of 3 Swiss said no to the visual expansion of the Muslim faith. Simply Switzerland has voted to prohibit the construction of new minarets but they can still build mosques. [Read more →]
Prior to the very recent uprising between Cambodia and Thailand over Thaksin Shinawatra, it was a bit of a toss about Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen. But now seeing that he appears to be ignoring his own Constitution to make political attacks in Thailand as well as ignoring international standards pertaining to extradition, it is now obvious he prefers the shadows to the light.

From the word go on trying to find people to lay the blame on for the October 14 market crash has been interesting. And at the time of writing this post, it appears swinging at shadows is the theme. [Read more →]
When it comes to selecting an Asian country to set up shop in for small and medium size businesses, Thailand is far from the sweetest choice. While one government agency seeks to attract foreign investment, another agency seeks to push foreigners away. [Read more →]
With the scent of racism in the air in the United States, standing too close to the source of that scent may prove to be more contagious and more politically fatal than the H1N1 swine flu. With that said, the US has become a political minefield overnight. [Read more →]
It has been suggested by some that the political problems President Obama is facing may be tied to latent racism. The virtually unheard of outburst by Congressman Joe Wilson does have other flavors than just disagreement. [Read more →]
The numbers are shocking as to how many foreign owned companies have pulled up roots in Thailand. A number of reasons are cited, and all contribute to people from other countries who would like to call Thailand their new home, simply are forced to call their old home in their own country home once again.

The US and George Bush fathered the war in Iraq. Because of that parental responsibility the US must not prematurely send its child off to fend for itself. And although the parent and the child have a desire to part ways before the child reaches full maturity, the underlying abilities to survive alone have the final say. [Read more →]
Before the global economy decided to visit the south pole, Thailand made a conscious decision to weed out some undesirables who were lingering in Thailand on endless tourist visas. That decision was largely based on saving face. Now things have changed and the methods used are now hurting Thailand. But if Thailand was seen to go back, it would be seen as a loss of face, even if it is absolutely the right thing to do in today’s economy. [Read more →]
When you stop an think about it, ask yourself how much money is spent on trying not to hurt someone’s feelings. Then ask yourself is it really that necessary to spend all that money because some over sensitive people have decided not to seek counseling.
