Any news other than corruption?
I've recently been reading The Nation online (purely out of boredom).
Is it a theme for the paper, or is it the case now in Thailand that there is no news other than corruption.
From Taksins wiping of the slate and inevitable return to power, through the blatent sticky fingers with flood relief funds, to using tax payers money for bail..... there seems to have been very little else in the news it seems.
Today, they have a write-up basically saying this is not corruption a such, it is simply part of Thai culture and pale face no understand.
I recall from the culture course about the little white lies that are used to protect people from losing face, but these are a little beyond what I would call a white lie..... more like f'kin massive lies with bells on - exactly who is saving face?????
Anyone got any non-corruption related news? There must be some as we haven't had any inter-school competitions for a while
