Sawadee Kha! I'm about to go to Bangkok and I'm very excited about my holiday. Already booked my flight to Suvamabhumi Airport and from there I'll go travel around Phuket and of course stay a couple of days in Bangkok, I saw your awesome website on Bing and it seems that you know a lot about Bangkok. Would you please give me some advice where to stay in Bangkok City? I've heard there are a couple of good hotels in the main town and in the southeast... Thank you in advance!

“You came here for two things: To defend Derbyshire and to justify your own idea of race and superiority.

So on one hand you’re defending a racist, and on the other, well, you are a racist.”

Jay, that’s the kind of “incoherent leap of bad logic” the original poster accuses Derbyshire of. Perhaps you could read what I’ve posted and address that (I think if you did, you’d find it isn’t racist). It’s more productive than resorting to name calling which is basically the first refuge of the incompetent.

Why would I resort to ad hominem attacks and snark as an answer to your prototypical racial inequity BS? Because you’re a cut and paste kiddie without the mental capacity to understand a real debate on the issue.

You came here for two things: To defend Derbyshire and to justify your own idea of race and superiority.

So on one hand you’re defending a racist, and on the other, well, you are a racist.

No one with any sort of intellectual capacity should bite, because doing so would only give the appearance that you have anything resembling real data or facts. No, sorry little man, no one should ever give your “arguments” the credibility that a reasoned discussion would bring.

“but a racist piece of trash that wants to play with the big boys and justify your superiority complex.”

Why do you resort to ad hominem attacks? Either you agree with what I say, or disagree and give reasons. It’s embarrassing.

Thank you for your comment. Your hostility suggests that you are unsure of how to rebutt the evidence I have provided. Calm down. No need for the abuse.

You could also posit that there is no such thing as “race” and that your preoccupation with such leads one to believe that you are nothing but a racist piece of trash that wants to play with the big boys and justify your superiority complex.

“No, it’s not accurate and you are speaking from sheer ignorance, obviously not having read the SCOTUS rulings by O’Connor et. al. on the subject.”

What the Supreme Court define it as and how it works in practice may be quite different.

Some articles by Gottfredson on efforts to ensure equal representation:

“If you did studies with controls for genetics, SES, etc, you could figure out exactly what fraction of difficulties were caused by discrimination, genetic factors, poverty, etc.”

Dr Kanazawa from London School of Economics considers pay discrimination a myth:”
