Hear, hear.
Trek, I enjoyed your post. It was a little bit of history I was not aware of.

OK, Trekkertony, accept my apoligy.....
Hey if you want to see Thailands history you may also want to see the "Soaps" that run daily on Thai TV.
Just today as the wife and I were sitting at BKK Hospital, looking at the "soaps" (because we don't sit with our head into a phone, like most all) , a scene came on where a lady was shakeled inside a "cage" and they were going to cut her head off. My wife told me, "That was Thailand 200 years ago". Really, I said.
Maybe someone seen that show today (Tuesday @ 1:15pm) Who told you "they value life"? Yeah, maybe a butterfly.
Want to see "value life: in action" Start getting all the children off the streets with their motorbikes, or at the "very" least, make them wear helmats. BOOM! (Mike drop)

Trekkertony, don't regret starting the post...

Hear, hear...

Agree. Good thread, learned something new.

Just click FOE on the offending poster and all of the ridiculous blather disappears.

Yes, Jello (for brains) said it right: "Just click FOE on the offending poster and all of the ridiculous blather disappears."
I don't think he was referring to me...but just imagine...if you could delete all " that offends your tiny brain", where would we be? Communism? Orwell 1984? You would not have "freedom" as you think. You would have only what you are told to believe.
I presented some "facts"...So if you can't handle the truth..Or as Jack Nicholson said "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH"!, then stand in line to get your "Catholic inspired" "7 Martyrs idol beads" ..and I'm sure in the same line, you may find your Buddist images, side by side.
Is it just me, or what is happening? Don't you think if Thailand did this terrible to these 7 Martyrs, that they would try to cover it up, instead of turning it into a money making thing?
Let that sink in a bit....please.

Not really. Actually, you presented YOUR facts. You ignore any information which doesn't agree with what you believe.

Here's an article you might find interesting, Felix. "Scientific Faith Is Different From Religious Faith" or, you could also call it, "It’s better to get a cancer diagnosis from a radiologist than from a Ouija Board."

Paul, you keep saying "Who is it"? OK, give a look at this..its a bit long, about 3 hours, but I'm sure you will walk away with more than you came with....

Enjoy

Want to see something a bit strange? Go to the White Temple in Chiang Rai and look at the "hands" reaching up out of hell. Its out front as you are walking in. I guess that kind of blows the idea of reincarnation.
