My new home

I found another Blog site that suits my intentions better than here so I've moved everything over to MyMultiply.

The NBA Gays and all that.

Tim Hardaway, former Miami Heat guard, has hit the headlines with the revelation that he wouldn't want a 'gay' player on his team.

"You know, I hate gay people, so let it be known. It shouldn't be in the world or in the United States."

There's a furore in the media and the the NBA commissioner distanced himself from the comments but his sentiments were quietly agreed to by many representatives of sportsmen across the USA. The general feeling was that the overwhelming majority agreed with Haradway but they would never go public, for obvious reasons.

IMO, the liberal position has been falsely forced down our throats in so many areas; racism, homosexuality, drugs, women's rights, green politics etc., and for all the media deluge and the political correctness we are subjected to, in the end, not much has changed.

I think we're due for another 'revolution' a la the sixties, only this time common sense may be the order of the day.

To pick up the pen again..

OH No! A coup!!

It's a strange feeling when you come downstairs for work, pick up the morning Bangkok post and see the Banner headline screaming COUP D' ETAT. The initial question is "What, here?"
I looked around and the girls in the office were crowded around the TV. They stopped for a second to observe me, obviously wondering what a farang will do on a 'Coup' day!

I can tell them that I'll pop off to work as usual, dribble nonsense on an internet forum, because the situation calls for nonsense to be dribbled, worry about my two printers both being repaired as we speak and of course I'll be posting my blog because Chavalit Van has got his wish, Thaksin has been outed!

Slow Sunday ...*yawn*

Only the perpetual meanderings of Cha-Am Jamal provide any substance today. His response to yet another 9/11 piece is hardly worth the mention, "Iraq was already on the cards" except to illustrate how little one needs to write to get a letter posted in the 'bag'.

Of more interest to most, would be the lead article in the Perspective pages. "Putting child sex criminals on ice" is a disturbing piece about the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in bangkok that deals with the pursuit and prosecution of paedophiles in South East Asia.
It mentions one case, among otters, of an 86 year old American who has been sentenced to 200 years in prison for child sex crimes.

Paedophiles are particularly clever scum. They are well organised as a group through the internet and they often present themselves in high profile positions instead of the oft-thought 'rock-spider' image.

I'd like to see a large government funded 'grass on a paedo' scheme introduced where the locals can earn a reward for reporting cases of child sex. Imagine the effect it would have on the creeps if they were treated to an inflight presentation of "Get paid for putting a sex-monster behind bars" on their trip to Thailand or Cambodia.
Admittedly, it's a bit 'Nazi Youth' but paedos are the lowest of the low. I suspect even the Thais would be queueing up to spill the beans on their relatives for a quick 10K baht.

I've often been critical of just exactly what our governments are doing about crimes such as this. It's so easy for someone to witness child sex offences or be offered pornographic material containing young children but or governments seem to be bound by legal issues in their efforts to pursue and prosecute the guilty parties.

Perhaps a 'Hotline' advertised in public places and a pro-active police force could stamp out this disgusting situation.

Needless to say, more action is required.

The helping hands that are Bangkok's finest

Cha-Am Jamal is alone in today's Post bag with an amusing short note in reply to an article about drunkeness in Bangkok. "Wrong kind of help" notes that Bangkok's police force are coming to the aid of drunks who can't find their cars. Having seen dozens of motocy taxi drivers boldly having a large Chang at 8.00am in full view of anyone who cares doesn't fill me with any great confidence in the road rules here but then that's par for the course in many areas.

I almost chuckled when I read a recent report how a 'drunk' police officer had his drunk driving charge dismissed as he was attending an accident in his home town on his day off. Apparently he had a few and then learned of a road accident. Being the only cop in the town he headed off to the scene to deliver vital aid and was busted himself. The judge said he was a credit to his uniform.

I'm not sure...

Another slow day for the 'bag'. Well, slow, if you're not a fan of Chavalit Van and his incessant pummelling of our Dear Leader. Chav's on fire again with "Trying wrongly to recover credibility", but of greater concern is his sense of humour. Here's Chav's joke...

"Why does a tiger wag its tail?"
"Because a tiger is smarter than its tail. If the tail was smarter, it would wag the tiger."

Yes, it has nothing to do with swatting flies. It's all about who is smarter!

Scary, Chavalit, scary.

So while a few of the wannabes are falling by the wayside, in particular, Sir Lance from Rayong, who can't get a letter published these days, there's one player who's made a dent.
The backwards spelt Robert has made his third appearance in the last week. I'll keep an eye and hope his contributions do improve.
