  • That uneasy feeling people have about Donald Trump

    Posted on December 12, 2016 12:02 am by Richard

    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

    Posted on September 26, 2016 12:02 am by Richard

    People who live in politically correct places are discouraged from having independent thinking. Simply mention you are digging and doing investigation into something that is not deemed to be Politically Correct, and within minutes there will be pressure to forget the idea or suffer the fallout and damage to your place in society.

  • Coup d’état in Thailand 10 years on

    Posted on September 19, 2016 12:02 am by Richard

    2006 coup

    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

    Posted on October 29, 2015 12:02 am by Richard

    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

    Posted on June 12, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    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

    Posted on September 18, 2012 6:01 am by Richard

    Islamic protest

    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

    Posted on September 5, 2012 12:12 pm by Richard

    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.

    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 16008

  • Thai government boosting sex industry

    Posted on January 15, 2011 12:03 am by Richard

    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.

  • Internet forum politics

    Posted on October 23, 2010 12:03 am by Richard

    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

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

    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.
