  • Pandemics thrive on idiots

    Posted on August 9, 2021 12:04 am by Richard

    When it comes to disease control the first mistake is thinking it functions with compassion.  The second mistake is knowing that but acting like it does. Continue reading → Post ID 16449

  • Trump’s Whitehouse staff risk unrecoverable career damage

    Posted on March 9, 2017 12:02 am by Richard

    Until now landing a job at the Whitehouse was seen as a huge career boost. But with Donald trump in the Oval office and him being unhinged and living in his own narcissistic world doing more lying than telling the truth, people will simply wonder why you did not just up and leave.

  • Dictators and Psychopaths

    Posted on January 16, 2013 12:02 am by Richard

    If you ever started to wonder why tyrant dictators found their way to the top of the pile, all you have to do is understand a few disturbing things about human nature. Few species on the planet are known for killing their own kind, and it takes a certain mind set to just up and kill another person without remorse or sense of doing wrong. There are way too many facets to explore with the mentality behind this. However the one thing that is certain is the tyrants will find their way to the top unless equal and opposite force is applied to stop them. Continue reading → Post ID 16449

  • Over sensitive Thais suggest deeper problems

    Posted on May 29, 2012 12:02 am by Richard

    Thailand certainly has it’s own unique reputation, some of it good and some of it not so good. But when other people point this out and particularly so the negative aspects, the news headlines the next day most certainly are prompting for an apology for stating the obvious.

    Posted on February 8, 2011 12:04 am by Richard

    If you step way back you will see a disturbing pattern of events when the words Muslim and extremist are used in the same sentence. It does not matter what part of the world is being described, the news stories have a similar theme, and that is dead teachers and burned schools. Continue reading → Post ID 16449

  • Slipping democracy

    Posted on January 22, 2011 12:03 am by Richard

    When trying to understand what conditions would let a democracy grow and what would make it decline, there seems to be a common theme across the board. There are forces that grow a democracy, and there are forces that kill a democracy. Ironically it is the classic good vs evil scenario that best describes this. Continue reading → Post ID 16449

  • A world of drama

    Posted on January 16, 2011 12:01 am by Richard

    Just sit back and look around. It seems no matter what direction you look, things are heading south with violence, the potential of violence, and the devastating effects of climate change. Never in the history of man has so much negative been going on at the same time, and we can only wonder and speculate as to the reasons why. Continue reading → Post ID 16449

    Posted on December 30, 2010 12:00 am by Richard

    It is that time of year again to take a look back at what happened and who was effected most by what. Unfortunately much of what happened in 2010 will be repeated in the future. Continue reading → Post ID 16449

  • The Chinese government meltdown

    Posted on December 22, 2010 12:02 am by Richard

    In what very much resembles a struggle in quicksand, the efforts of the Chinese government to ignore they are far from the mainstream and are looking to punish the people that pointed that out, appears to be exactly like a terrible Two temper tantrum. So we sit and watch this self destruction unfold. Continue reading → Post ID 16449

  • Burma’s elected leader freed by junta

    Posted on November 15, 2010 12:00 am by Richard

    In what clearly looks to be throwing a bone at the dogs of democracy, Burma’s junta has released Aung San Suu Kyi from house arrest that was keeping her from taking office. But after looking at the first 24 hours of her release, it is starting to look like it was only a delay and the people of Burma are already falling in line behind her.

    Posted on November 10, 2010 12:01 am by Richard

    It is very unfortunate for ASEAN that Burma is part of their family. There is no polite way to put it other than ASEAN will never have the needed global respect with Burma acting like it does. Continue reading → Post ID 16449

  • Sometimes you just need to say it

    Posted on August 8, 2010 12:03 am by Richard

    It seems that children have an advantage over adults that is found in their innocence. They are not the least bit concerned about saying what is on their mind. As for adults, many have simply lost that ability. Continue reading → Post ID 16449

  • Fat people

    Posted on August 2, 2010 12:05 am by Richard

    There it is right in your face, calling fat people fat. Trauma, tears, being upset that someone spoke the obvious that they were fat. But political correctness promptly smoothed that over so people would not be upset. At the same time political correctness removed a very key motivator to lose the fat.

    Posted on May 30, 2010 12:03 am by Richard

    This could have been easily named ‘BP Unplugged’ or ‘Secrets to global economic meltdown’, but the problem is much wider than that. The human track record is very clear that when tempted by greed disasters happen, and they happen a lot. Continue reading → Post ID 16449
