I don't believe an economic migrant would spend the amounts paid to a trafficker and secondly undertake the, clearly life - threatening trip in a rubber boat to get to the EU. Only a desperate refugee would take such risks to escape a clearly dangerous situation.

Definitely the tip of the iceberg. The 14 indicted are middle level officials in FIFA. The one they are aiming for is the head, so they hope to turn some of the 14 to testify against Blatter.

Thailand Unexpectedly Cuts Rate After Growth Forecast Cut
Plainsdrifter replied to cavanami's topic in News
The lower the interest rate equals less investment into the country leading to a weaker baht. -
It's inevitable that solar, wind or other similar energy will be developed. I guess people in the middle east will return to time honored occupations like robbing and kidnapping religious pilgrims on their way to haj.

Every person should have the option to choose. The absence of the right to choose is what is terribly wrong with this religion.

Saudi Arabia Hosts Women's Rights Conference
Plainsdrifter replied to bust's topic in Non-Thailand News
Very hard to encourage women's rights in a culture that is lacking elementary rule of law. In most western countries nobody is above the rule of the law, wereas in tribal Muslim lands only the very poor and unconnected are subject to it. Only the Muslim religion as opposed to encouraging many beliefs to exist isn't healthy either. In western countries religion evolved over the centuries but it is blasphemous to question or change Islam. -

Over the past 30 years China is the only country where I consistently get sick in from food consumed there. -
Nigeria Not Important To Rest Of World It Seems
Plainsdrifter replied to bust's topic in Non-Thailand News
From what I have read about the massacres, most, if not all media avoid reporting on them and on boko haram because of fears of getting harmed themselves. That's why the number of actual deaths vary from 200-2000. -
Wonder if they refund the fee if bag is lost. I know from experience they exclude damage to zippers and wheels when they bang them up.

Flying business class may have something to do with it.

The Former Mayor Of Patong, Pian Keesin, Was Found Dead This Morning.

At least he didn't leap from the balcony. -
El Al is Israel's national airline so they seem to respect ultra-orthodox passengers' demands. El Al doesn't fly on the Jewish Sabbath and only serves kosher food onboard. Many other airlines fly to the Jewish state, but I don't believe they tolerate this type of behavior. I bet if this stunt was tried on United, the passengers would have found themselves off the plane or placed under arrest.

Don't Mess With Nuclear Russia, Putin Says
Plainsdrifter replied to waerth's topic in Non-Thailand News
Eastern Ukraine is the site of many giant factories that produce many of the jet engines used by Russian aircraft, helicopters plus countless munitions. Do you suppose Putin would allow Eastern Ukraine to leave Russia ' s orbit? -
In this case Japan enjoys the best of both. They get to get their way of not allowing Muslims in their country and they get to enjoy and use energy supplied by Muslim countries.

What is really a pain in the ass is on long haul flights are children sitting behind you that can't seem be able to stop kicking the seat in front of them, with you sitting there. I have to confess that I accidently dropped the contents of a cold drink over their once. Since the flight was full, they unfortunately couldn't move from their soaked seat to a dry one. I apologized of course, but the kicking stopped and the child and parents both jumped to wary attention whenever I had to get up and pass their seats.
