Beer Chang

Developmentally disabled is the most PC but I don't see what's the problem with retarded. Retard on the other hand sounds nasty.

They end way to early.

Have to meet a friend at the airport today so am catching the last Bell Bus from Pattaya which means I have to sit around the airport and read for a few hours.

Big spenders would be repulsed by this but I figure I'm getting paid 300 baht an hour to read a book.

Reggie Wayne aggravated a knee injury and left practice early on Friday.

My recollection is that many farangs seemed to think it was an unwritten Thaksin policy and I'd go along with that.

Drug dealing and other crime has gotten worse on Lower Suk now that Thaksin's gone.

White and Asians should not use the word "nigger".

Picks u up/drops u off at hotel. 200 baht to airport. Good deal.

Those of you that have True Platinum, it's on ASN, channel 108 in Pattaya.

Hmmm. There certainly were a lot of alleged drug dealers killed by soldiers and police during an approximately 3-month time period a few years back (maybe 2005?).

But, although I've read about every story I could get my hands on about those events, I never read any first-hand, second-hand, third-hand (etc.) account that either the prime minister (that would be Thaksin Shinawatra at the time) or the cabinet authorized (expressly or impliedly) any extra-judicial killings.

So....I'm just wondering what you base your comment on.

It seemed that the powers that be t that were OK with the alledged drug dealers being shot instead of arrested.

What I'm saying is that if it's acceptable to call a person an idiot, then it's OK to call him a retard.

A developmentally disabled kid can be called retarded but not a retard IMO.

As of March 5th no more free tourist visas. The free 30 day stamp is still available.

Looks like some type of board glitch or backup problem but looks like most Feb 3 and Feb 4 posts have disappeared.

Thaksin tried getting tough on crime by shooting drug dealers.

Quite a repressive society.

As for comparisions, I suppose Milosevic looked good compared to Hitler.

Limbaugh lamented that "our political correct society is acting like some giant insult's taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards, retards."

Rush is telling it like it is.

Moved to another location and almost everyone is happy.

Brilliant move by ManCrunch getting lots of free publicity from getting their ad rejected.

Gotta try that the next time I'm subject to unwelcome advances.

Well I guess the streets are emptier and people are drunker so bad things do happen.

Freeney's ankle injury is a cause of concern for the Colts. Even if he winds up playing on passing downs, he'll probably only be at 80% effectiveness. This means the Saints won't need a tight end to help the OT with blocking which gives Brees another target.

Seems to me that buildings in Thailand are not subject to the strict fire codes of the West, so perhaps it's worth paying a little extra for a building that looks safe.

Well, the Pro Bowl was played and nobody cared.

One player complained about the corporate sponsor.

“This is the first Pro Bowl with a corporate sponsor and we didn’t see a chicken nugget all week,†Mawae said. “We’re paying $30 for chicken fingers for our kids. You think they could have given us some chicken nuggets, some fries, even a few coupons, something.â€

My teerak and I finally got around to seeing the 3-D version of avatar and we both enjoyed it.

3-D made it a special experience but if many more movies come out on 3-D it'll get stale quickly.

Extra charge for 3-D at Central festival, the tickets were 220 baht.

The kids lose. These kids for be lucky to get to Idaho.

I know she's young, and my guess is that she's good looking.

The government/Fed has an unspoken plan to reflate the economy. The reflation makes many of the problematic loans OK.

From my personal financial perspective great Depression II doesn't hurt me too much but hyperinflation kills me.
