		<description>I am concerned after reading about doctors refuse to treat injured police, and pilot refused to fly passenger who said to be a member of an opposite political party. How on earth are these going to be explained to western countries, even with good command of English? What next?</description>

		<description>At the end of his homily jonfernquest, like khun stillwater on another thread, claims media bias. I am unsure what to make of  this claim. Which media is biased? I know PAD claims that the foreign reporters are biased against them, and this might be simply repeating that accusation, but this is hardly the case for the Thailand-based print media, is it? Am I missing something or not reading widely enough.</description>

		<description>amberwaves, please explain to us how you managed to build those ping-pong bombs so that those bombs  during Tuesdays incidents only caused serious injuries to PAD and not to police. Thanks.

anyone who took up the call to turn up at protest at foreign ministry  are very brave and willing to sacrifice their own lives, limbs, etc.
I mean the total figures for Tuesday&#039;s incidents are 2 dead civilians,  around 440 injured, 75 were still hospitalised yesterday. Among the seriously injured were 4 civilians who lost legs, another lost foot, another lost arm, and others losing toes and fingers. Several had schrapnel injuries and torn-off skin.  There are still civilians in critical condition in hospitals and the death toll could rise. 

The total injured policemen was 20 officers, all of whom are in safe condition now, none died or lost any body parts to bombs.

So, if anyone took up the call, they are very brave.</description>

		<description>Why would they need those &quot;volunteers with good command of English&quot; when all they would be screaming is GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!

And even if their protestors were indeed good in English and somehow had chance to present their messages to the westerners, they would be too absurd beyond all comprehension anyway - whether spoken in Thai or English.</description>

		<description>Ha, ha, who do you think is going to win in the end, Thaksin and his proxies?

All this blog seems to be able to do is crack jokes about PAD mixed with jokes about HMK which do a real disservice to the Thai students you&#039;ve been entrusted to teach.

And of course, it will be a minor miracle if this posting makes it through, because I don&#039;t agree with you.

Media bias? Your blog convinces me that academics are at the forefront of it, particularly anthropo-apologists and their village people, not fighting media bias at all.</description>
