Thanks for the ping. Man, that is terrible. I got a feeling the guys that ended this miserable creature's life will get off easy, though. Rebuilding it is not the same as having the original - this will be taken as a bad omen by the Thais (and me too!).

Tragic situation all around.

The BBC said that the perp is a Muslim. Is that correct? I don't trust the Communist media of the world to report a straight story. Esp, in light of their Janus deception, pretending to care about Muslims and Religion of Peasce, etc yet never talking about Republican Muslims, the democratic movement in Iran, support in Iraq and Afghanistan, and those that condemn terrorists, etc.

The same people who want Americans to believe that Billy XXX is the best President ever is telling us that we must understand and appease the oily dark skinned A-RABS and that every single Muslime is evil and hates America and pro-Bin Laden.

Color me skeptical. Unfortunately, many here who would not trust these b@stards to report the rising of the sun or the correct time fell hook, line, and sinker for the hate-mogngering of the racist Demons, Communists, and their fellow travelers.

And last time I check, "nuking 'em all" is still genocide.

Apologies for the rant.

I heard a story about a fellow who stepped on a 20 baht note to keep it from blowing away in the wind. Word is he got his throat cut. Jungle legend?

Probably. But if it really happened, I'd venture to guess that it escalated to that. You know, someone didn't take to those smiling, slight, soft featured, poorly dressed little guys complaining and told them to piss off or something. It happens all the time here to foreigners that can't or won't read the different body language, get in over their heads and pay a severe price for it.

Thanks for the ping. The press had best emphasize the fact that the guy is "mentally ill" or there will be quite a retaliation against the Muslims in BKK. This mental illness is shared by too many Islamists IMO.

Your rant just made everyone stupider that read it.

"mentally-ill Muslim"

Wouldn't that be a redundancy?

This map will show you where to go. I always stay at the Suk 11 hostel (king sized bed, private room only about $15).

I'd rather be a "stupid bleeding heart FRino" than a bloody mass murderer.

The difference between what too many here propose and the proposal that came out of the Wannsee Conference is instead of killing Jews we are killing their alleged "haters".

The similarity is that both are evil.

Thank God Pres. Bush does not share the delusions of the "Nuke 'em all" crowd. Otherwise America would have committed the greatest evil ever seen in the history of man.

Sooner or later we'll find out if Adbul will pray to a smoking crater.. Sorry you don't like it, but the cult can NOT anger the world for much longer and not get a major, major retaliation.

Killing terrorists does not equal to thermonuclear genocide. How can any American ever claim the US to be a beacon of justice, liberty, and a God blessed nation if we chose to annihilate millions of innocent people without just cause and with a clear viable alternative?

What we are doing is working despite the treason being committed by the DEMons and the DeathScreamMedia. Yahoos yelling about "them terrorist Muslime A-Rabs" don't help the war effort. The way to win the War on Terror is not by proving every statement Bin Rotten ever uttered to be true with stupid, bigotted actions and statements.

Hell, if you ever want to get rid of the liberal scum infesting the country, getting 70-90% Islamic/Arabic support is a sure fire way to do that. Republicans and Christians have more in common with Muslims than Americans have with liberals.

I'd rather side with a Muslim than a Communist any time of day. And no. I said Muslim, not terrorist. A terrorist, I'd put in the same grave as a traitor.

Had the Soviet military decided to just nuke maybe 5 US cities, would you have sat back and said 'well, we can't do anything cause innocents might die'.

Your attitude would have lost us every war we ever fought, and all future ones too.

Oh, don't bother to write back either if you're going to play the race card and say it's possible to get 70-90% islamic support.

I'm not going to waste my time with anyone so hopeless.

Putting on my Thai superstition hat, this is a very bad omen.

Do you have a source for this?

Garland must be pretty big in Thailand to need a garland vendor. I think I'll give that a try at Christmas time.
