Unthinkable http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0914863/ Very good - required viewing

Speaking as someone who's always observed, as against, participated in the American experience, I fully expect America to be boots 'n all in the Middle East until the oil runs out. I don't see any difference if it's Obama or Romney or Ventura. I'madinnerjehad has all the wrong ideas in my view, but his point about interfering in another sovereign country's affairs is valid. Until a country (say NZ) actively does something to some one else, let them alone. Conversely there is the wisdom of preventing a nuclear weapon existing in the Middle East, imagine all the Middle East nations clustering around the protective umbrella of a nuclear armed Iran. Mind you it doesn't seem to have worked well for Pakistan.

I'm not following this thread and I post here simply 'cause its to do with 'merica. I watched on CNN some interesting stuff today and as a disinterested Kiwi in Laos I thought I'd share... 1st Piers Morgan interviewing Jesse Ventura. Vertura is an engaging character. And a dullard 2nd Piers Morgan interviewing Ahmadinejad. I give Mr I'madinnerjacket his due credit, whilst I think he's a nutter, he held his ground and gave his point of view, can't ask for much more than that. 3rd Obama's speech at the UN today. Stirring stuff, said all the right things, and then went on to lay the ground for some serious aggression in Syria and Iran amongst other things. I don't favor any political group in the US, but my feeling is that Obama will win the next presidency. YMMV Piers Morgan rules, what happened to Jon Stewart? Coss

Sneer at you every time you glance at a Thai girl...

well done Kong...

The Tree of Life The Tree of Life is a 2011 American drama film with experimental elements written and directed by Terrence Malick and starring Brad Pitt, Sean Penn and Jessica Chastain. The film chronicles the origins and meaning of life by way of a middle-aged man's childhood memories of his family living in 1950s Texas, interspersed with imagery of the origins of the universe and the inception of life on Earth. A beautifully shot film that is bound to wow any 17 year olds looking for the meaning of life. Which as we all know is 42.

This is a joke, don't anyone get upset now....

Another shopping mall?

I made a similar decision about my daughter from my 1st marriage, when custody came up, I reasoned she was better with a happy mum than a happy dad. She's now 25 and going from strength to strength...

I'm interested too, keep posting.

Good luck Kong "but it's often said that a tidy desk is the sign of a small mind," they paraphrase that with Chefs, a spotless kitchen = very ordinary food

"securing weapons of mass destruction" I wonder if they have the time to come to where I am and kill my neighbor, secure what ever it is he has and then give me millions and millions in rebuilding cash....

Damn! Don't ever let me get on the wrong side of you

Well Done!

Nope, this is Thailand

TAT hopes to present revamped Thailand Elite Card project to Cabinet by end of May BANGKOK, 16 May 2012 (NNT) – The Thai tourism authority is hopeful to present the revamped Thailand Elite Card project for the Cabinet to review very soon. Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) Deputy Governor Wilaiwan Tawitsri said on Tuesday that the TAT’s work on the operational restructuring of Thailand Privilege Card Company Limited (TPC), which is in charge of the Thailand Elite Card project, is nearing completion. Ms. Wilaiwan stated that the result of the revamp is expected to be ready for presentation to Deputy Prime Minister and Tourism Minister Chumpol Silapa-archa on May 29th. She said that, by meeting the expected deadline, Mr. Chumpol will be able to present all information for the Cabinet to consider, in hopes of receiving an 80-million-baht emergency budget for the TPC to continue its operation until the end of December 2012. The TAT Deputy Governor conceded that, if the to-be-proposed project receives a Cabinet approval, a new budget of 200 million baht will likely be acquired to pursue further upgrade of the company.

Kong, I can only say, good luck and may the powers be with you. Coss

I have to say, Mr Jobs made a difference to my life, a positive one. How long before all computers become beige again?

It's a shame that they (surgeons) don't throw in a brain (patients) whilst they there. A rat's brain should suffice.

But Sarah is comedy, and thereto excusable.

I take no sides in American pollyticks I just saw a Dateline piece on Michelle Bachmann What a nutter, or is she deliberately playing to the bottom end of the IQ bell curve? Rhetorical question, I don't wanna know...

Or would you give him pallets of money?
