Please pray for all suffering from these floods and next holiday dont barter just pay the asked price with a friendly smile:). I wish I could do more to help.

I totally agree with N1ceV1d. How can people be so incredibly cruel and insensitive. The Thai people affected by the floods are suffering, and here you are making fun of them.

Thais will overcome that evil flood. I guess we are all responsible for the after effect of global warming.

Where's billionaire Thaksin to chip in his dough to help his countrymen in need?Or is it just for buying English soccer clubs?

@Hatorah well then, I think we stop the querrels here. it is true that you and I have different opinions toward how things happen. personally, I do believe in praying but there are things that I choose to explain in a scientific way rather than spiritual way. cheers.

@TyrantSchnauzer : it's ok...I just tried to gear you in the right direction in which we are guided by the Holy Bible. I understand how today's youth perceive things - "I did it my way". Well, I do it YahWeh, safe under the shadow of His Wings(Psa. 91).

I encourage you to read the Bible and get some answers from GOD. It's not going to get better in the World...The Pope has just announded "A ONE World GOVT" of which he is the Beast. The Anti-Christ is another guy which we will soon see.

@Hatorah lol you're so funny. it seems that you relate everything to god. so ur saying that all things that happened are god's actions? ha! and what's your proof for the judgement thing? you really missed my point here. I was saying that it happened because of human actions and the way nature is. this includes the earthquakes you mentioned too. I consider it tectonic movement rather than god's judgement. it is you who really need to wake up and face REALITY.

@Hatorah Sure it's very important which passport god is holding ;-)

@TyrantSchnauzer : YESHUA warned us about tyrants and scoffers like you. It shows you are not reading the Bible because at the END, it's all about JUDGEMENTS dear. GOD has given the WORLD 2000 years to think about it. HE did not sacrifice HIS Son just so heathens can have a Xmas celebrated on Solstice.WAKE UP! The way you are talking, I don't think that your on your way to humble yourself before the LORD for Salvation.

BTW, Earthquakes are everywhere..here in Quebec, SINK HOLES.

@GlobalCash1 : Jesus is a heathe name given by the GREEKS. So there.. If you know anything about YESHUA, you'll know that He returning as a Mighty LION to judge this Planet So there ..no wishy washy King He will be. First time He came as a suffering Servant, Second time, a Mighty King~ whether you like it or not :o)

BTW, YESHUA IS A JEW...and He did not invent Xtianity.
