Prior to coming Chiang Mai I got the news updates about Thailand from ThaiVisa.com. Some of the news updates were so horrifying I often decided against coming here and thought Nicaragua would be a better choice. I investigated some of the stories further and found a few to be complete lies or at best, half truths.
One such story that made ThaiVisa headlines was about two Caucasian men found dead in front of their TV watching a sporting event. Two grown men, one Aussie and one from the UK, they were deader than shit covered in vomit. This was scary.----- I don't recall if it was days or weeks later I did a follow-up search on the story. I was curious. What did these med die from?
As it turns out the two men had what appeared to be cocaine on the table in front of them, coke or crystal meth (a white powder substance on the coffee table). The headline made is seem as if it was a big fucking mystery as to how these gentleman died. --- No mystery. They bought illegal drugs, consumed them and got screwed to death by the dealer. ThaiVisa left out the part of the drugs on the coffee table. It's more provocative if you leave out the whole story. Truth can be a real downer if you are into spreading lies.

What I found to be even more interesting is all the comments left by the schmucks with nothing better to do with their lives than leave benign judgemental comments about the half-truths, lies and innuendo. First off, you are leaving a comment about a story that is a half truth or lie.
It's easy to leave a comment on a web page about a lie. It's more difficult to actually get off your fat ass and go out and help. Making the world a better place would require real effort. --- I think it's safe to say if you are perusing the web for horrible stories to comment on the life you have is not quality. Did these people raise children that went out into the world and made it a better place? No fucking way. You know that didn't happen. These are the actions of misery, hate and fear. Misery spreads misery because misery loves company.
