In fighting IS, don't mimic its evil ways
News, Kong Rithdee, Published on 07/02/2015
» It was a sad week, a week of satanic beheadings, then the barbarous immolation, executed and filmed by that godless bunch as if in mockery of Hollywood war movies. A week of moral anger and global blood lust, from Amman to Tokyo by way of Iraq. A week of sadness that quickly morphed into something like vengeance, as war cries sounded over the medieval fortresses of Jordan and Egypt and echoed to the South China Sea.

Footie ecstasy prescription won't last long
News, Kong Rithdee, Published on 14/06/2014
» Tell me, what’s happiness? Football, of course. Not playing it, not qualifying for it, but consuming it. Precisely, happiness is watching the 64 matches of the highest-level football played in the far-flung Amazonian longitudes, the broadcast signals being sucked live from space to the tubes of 65 million Thais at the expense of — a bargain, I believe — 427 million baht paid for by tax money from the public purse straight to a private firm.

» On the screen, the two women made love with such passionate intensity that the whole cinema was stunned into silence. The rubbing of flesh, the whispering, the discovery of physical longitudes and uncharted territories, went on with a sense of longue duree, so long that the initial giggling from some of the audience was hushed by the realisation that this was an attempt to display love, and not just titillating same-sex sex.
