6. yes, it sounds better than what we've been saying & the Right's bs 'liberal media'
censored media IS what America is all about. If you're not on the news....they act like you don't exist.

5. So far, no tourists have been murdered this month in Phuket
But if you want to talk about trouble in paradise, just read the skim the headlines from over the summer in Phuket, Thailand:
