Hmmm... could it be one of those Missouri Synod Lutherans?

Because of stupid posts like this, I will no longer be posting any first hand information on this thread. I am living in Bangkok and watching this unfold on local news. You just lost your source. Have a nice New Years.

killjoy, I think you miss the point. Here in the United States there were coordinated attacks by Muslims on September 11, 2001. Instead of targeting the source of the attacks (Muslims) everyone in America has to deal with restrictions on travel and other inconveniences.
The sarcasm you see is an outpouring of anger over political correctness trumping what some view as common sense.

As to what has happened, do you think these are attacks by or against the juntas? Any predominant vector for the attacks?

Do you not understand irony and sarcasm over there in Thailand? The other posters are merely pointing out the absurdity of the mass media here in the U.S. of reporting these bombings in the most politically correct manner, never mentioning that they are likely perpetrated by Islamic terrorists who have been at war with the western world for decades. Furthermore, the U.S. mass media absolutely hate our President Bush and will go out of their way to never report anything that might somehow justify the "war on terror" that he has initiated.

Ironically, it is the politically correct liberals whom the Muslims most want to eradicate from the face of the earth (aside from the Jews) because of their decadent lifestyle. They also see Bangkok as a decadent place as well.

So when we make comments like "Maybe it was those Jehovah's Witnesses again," we are simply pointing out the absurdity of our mass media in reporting these events.

Americans have a penchant for dark humor and sarcasm during times of stress. Blame it on Mark Twain! If you read those posts literally, you will be upset. If you look at the underlying message; it is a serious point wrapped up in an apparent bon bon; an effective means of conveying a point in a discussion. Twain used humor to discuss slavery in the U.S.; a very unfunny topic, indeed.

This story presents the fact of the explosions as if they are some sort of natural phenomenon, like a tornado touching down in a trailer park. The story does not even note 'responsible parties are unknown, at this time'. Posters are noting the reporter's total lack of interest in who planted these bombs.
