I sure hope those expressing outrage over this have never patronized any form of prostitution or pornography, including massage parlors, peep shows, strip clubs, and the like.

PAD protestors shoot at the media and threaten bloodshed. Another 80 million people around the world just lost any ounce of respect or sympathy they MAY have had for them (and counting).

Nice uniform. And no it's not a joke, why would it be a joke for a high profile person to highlight traffic safety. It's a worthwhile cause, not 'best hairstyle' or 'best nose hair' award.

Because she was angry she set fire to her house and almost killed her dad? Wow, usually if a kid is severely abused maybe, then maybe, I can see something like this, but nowadays kids do anything when they don't get their spoiled ways, japanese kids included. Truly something wrong…

Thank you Athletes, it really isn't that complicated (and no one here who has chastised others for not knowing enough about Thai politics have themselves not offered their own explanations by the way). The PAD will never be happy, it is a fundamental difference between the elite/upper crust and the…
