no, not in the slightest


just imagine that it was your child in the cave there, found by the sheerest luck and rescued in the nick of time through the expenditure of a huge amount of effort and goodwill - would you be forgiving the coach?


interesting also to see the use of cultural relativism - 'thais do it differently' - as a justification.

i don't know whether child endangerment is a crime in thailand, but it is also a place where feudal power structures persist, to the extent that no Thai may stand in the presence of the king, and of course a notorious centre of exploitation of women and children.

those conditions are more likely to account for the resignation and gratitude shown by the peasant families whose sons were trapped in the cave than 'buddhist forbearance'

You seem just lovely. If you want a good debate/argument, this forum will provide in spades, but really, why do you and two or three others get off on joining threads for no reason other than to call them boring, or "drivel" or whatever? Whom does it benefit? Does it make you happy? If so, seek help.

I am lovely thank you, and you're another person who delights in critical clap trap so don't bother in joining the bandwagon.

You just have to click on their name and look at their posts on the two forum games where they appear to spend most time to get a feel for what kind of person they are.

Ah yes, I see. A lovely person indeed, as lovely as a ten-year-old scrawling obscenities on a lavatory wall. Can't see a single comment that's not a stupid joke to attempt to belittle others or just to say that a thread is boring, or "sucks". Pathetically sad. Strongly suspect from their tone and attitude it's one of the previously banned come back in another guise.

i may have rushed to judgement KK, apols, and what i've since read about the coach's actions in the cave makes me reconsider my views a little bit - but no change in my total admiration for the rescue teams

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
