Re: Ex-Vietnam Lieutenant Apologizes for His Role in Massacre
Robert Mc Namara - the ex US Sec of State has publicly stated that the US failed to recognise the legimate aspirations of the vietnamese to self-determination and instead reduced the whole affair to an anti-communist crusade. Of course - financial intersts of business decide which way the "war" went...

Re: Ex-Vietnam Lieutenant Apologizes for His Role in Massacre
In a general sense USA 's role in Vietnam was just an extension of the disgusting role of eurpoean colonisation in SE asia, with a dollop of anti-comminist hysteria and a flawed domino theory logic thrwon in for good measure. I think the US got "sucked in" and did not know how to get out (without lo...

Re: Beware of the Thai cheat!
Aardvark, Mortiboy and JimboLV - Ta, good responses - I know a bit more now. Seems that "temptation" and acquiring "western habits" would be the main pitfalls. I guess fidelity comes down to the quality of relationship and also giving genuine "love and kindness" - more chance of success if people tr...

Re: Beware of the Thai cheat!
How many blokes on this site have brought Thai w/gf back to falangland successfully? Is the failure rate 80% as some posts suggest. And do Thai women (married) really spread it around as much as some posts suggests? Are thses the reasons most men would prefer to go to Thailand to be with w/gf - or i...

Re: The reality of Heroin
If addiction is an illness then it shuold be dealt with by medicos and not police. If addicts are sick they should be treated and not jailed. Far better for a doctor to administer heroin at about $50 a pop, than the addict burgle $500. Part of the deal of being a "registered addict" would be the los...

Re: Personal ''diet program''
My grandmother started every day with a 2 glasses of boiled water (let cool) with a couple of drops of vinegar and lemon juice. She told me her mother passed this to her - so seems this "cure" has been around a while. Grandmother lived well into her 80's. I have been told to avoid any fizzy drinks -...

Re: Aussie in jail for stealing a Bar Mat in Phuket
If the owner of the Aussie Bar first pressed chages and thsi becomes known, then I thnik Aussies while give his bar a miss - I will. She was stupid to not show respect to police (if this is true), but for the bar owner to set police on her seems harsh. Tourist Police in Patong usually seem fairly la...

Re: 3 paedos Busted in Pattaya
Ulick - It was my misfortune to attend a Christian Brothers school for some time (Drimnagh Castle, Dublin) - sadistic bastards, I now looking back I find it hard to believe this was (almost) accepted practice. I understand that the "old rules" no longer apply.

Re: English girl facing firing squad in Laos
No - not a drama queen - just belive in due process and the rule of law. Why is she "scum" if she has not been found guilty? How did you conclude she is "scum"? I wonder how many of the "hang em" posters on this thread are functioning alcoholics, and how many drive their cars while p*ssed (what abou...

Re: English girl facing firing squad in Laos
Herion addiction should be treated as a medical condition. The cost of providing heroin legally is miniscule compared to the cost of preventing its growth distribution and sale. At least providing heroin 'medically" ensures the user is getting clean heroin (not cut with crap) and there is opportunit...
