It is a bit of deja vu as you have seen this before in movies where something is just not right. It is a common theme in disaster movies and some action movies as well. The only difference is this is real and that gut feeling just does not go away when you step outside. Continue reading Post ID 16008

The damage Political Correctness has already caused Part 3

Coup d’état in Thailand 10 years on
It was perhaps the most real-time documented Coup d’état in history. Hundreds of ex-pats were posting on a popular internet forum what was going on outside there window, and the server was swamped. The one thing that was noticed was the Thai People were all for the military intervention, and fear was replaced with sighs of relief and celebration in the coming days.

Thai Junta vs Human Nature
When the Thai military staged a Coup in 2014, they enjoyed nearly 70% support from Thais because they were doing something that was seen as positive for Thailand. But now it seems they may be expanding their agenda and based on what that agenda is, they risk having the entire population turning on them as well as giving Thaksin ammunition to stage a comeback.

China’s ongoing reaction to Tiananmen Square protest shows fear
1989 is a distant memory for most people. Trying to recall what we did during that year requires some deep thought for most people who were born in 1980 or before. However with China’s over the top reaction when the anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protest comes around, it tends to trigger an instant memory marker reminding people of exactly where they were in 1989 when they heard the news of the protest being violently put down by the Chinese Government.

Freedom of expression vs Islam
When you come right down to it cutting past all the concern about creating more Muslim riots, it seems the Muslim tabu of not talking about The Prophet Mohammad in any negative light or even depicting images of him has come head to head with other views and opinions taken straight out of the Koran. Being able to express those views and opinions is what this entry is all about. Continue reading Post ID 16008

Google vs Connecting the Dots Part 3
After 100% of the dozens of responses we got via email or in person supported our view of things, the focus of our question has now changed. No longer is it a question about what is wrong with the picture Google seems upset with, the question has now completely shifted to What is wrong with the person who said there is a problem with the picture.

Education the enemy
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 16008

Thai government boosting sex industry
You would not think too much about a government trying to squash the sex industry, it gets votes on election day from people who despise such activities. But if you take a look at what the Thai government is doing, they are actually giving a huge boost to Thailand’s second very natural resource, the booming sex trade. Continue reading Post ID 16008

Internet forum politics
This story may certainly upset some people who run forum type websites. In particular if the website in question tries to posture itself as neutral, but in fact is consumed in its own internal politics banning hoards of people simply because they logged a legitimate complaint or concern.

China’s venom filled mirror
It is not often a country puts on a show that resembles an irate husband about ready to give his wife a good beating. But that in fact is what China did when it was announced that someone they had locked up for self serving reasons just was awarded the world’s most prestigious award being the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize, and that award was tied to the reason the person was locked up.
