Jenny kisses: There are so many black men imprisoned for life, and so many black men executed in Alabama and other North American countries, and all over the world, because they have been falsely accused of rape. One has to understand that this is an organized campaign, originating from Departments of Women's Studies of American universities and than enacted by feminist activist cells that usually are camouflaged as women's safe houses or women child foundations. There sole agenda is to turn the police and judicial institutions against men. They never attempt to consider the male part in any conflict. For these gender fascists, men are always pigs, and the heavier a punishment, the greater there victory. But whenever a women stands trial for murdering a man, they will certainly lobby for as light a punishment as possible, or even to have her walk free. When will man organize and oppose those feminazis. The Department of Women’s Studies of every American university that has them could be reported for teaching hatred. And the hatred preached by imams is mild in comparison to the hatred preached by lecturers at Departments of Women's Studies.

Jenny kisses: Der er så mange sorte mænd fængslet for livet, og så mange sorte mænd henrettet i Alabama og andre nordamerikanske lande, og over hele verden, fordi de uberettiget er blevet beskyldt for voldtægt. Man må forstå, at dette er en organiseret kampagne, der hidrører fra afdelinger af Women's Studies af amerikanske universiteter og end vedtaget af feministisk aktivist celler, der normalt er camoufleret som kvinder sikkert huse eller kvinder barn fonde. Der eneste dagsorden er at gøre det politimæssige og retslige institutioner mod mænd. De har aldrig forsøgt at overveje den mandlige del i enhver konflikt. For disse køn fascister, er mænd altid svin, og de tungere straf, jo større er sejr. Men når en kvinde står anklaget for mordet på en mand, vil de helt sikkert lobbyarbejde for så let en straf som muligt, eller endog at have hende gå fri. Hvornår vil man organisere og modsætte sig disse feminazis. Department of Women's Studies af enhver amerikansk universitet, der har dem, kan blive indberettet til undervisning had. Og det had prædiket af imamer er mild i forhold til det had prædiket af undervisere ved afdelinger af Women's Studies.

Art and Culture / Painting

Because of humidity and insects in the tropics, as well as war and fires during the earlier ages, very few old paintings are preserved.

Paintings from pre-historic times were found in the Udon Thani and Kanchanaburi areas. These paintings are characterized by monochromatic stick figures in red earth tones done as frieze and usually depicting a domestic or hunting scheme. Sometimes, the paintings are engraved decorations on bronze drums and pots with intricate linear designs, mostly showing Chinese and Indian influences.

From the era of the Mons from 6th to 11th century, no paintings remain. Only foundations and few walls with traces of paint on edifices were found plus a number of incised geometric drawings on brick, ivory and stone.

From the 9th to 11th century, the few relics found are intimately related to stone materials. By the end of the 13th century, with the ascend of the Sukhothai kingdom, Thai forms of painting evolved alongside the development of sculpture and architecture. Painted works were done almost solely for religious purposes and designed to inspire only the pious. The artists began to develop a unique style of painting and drawing using stone, brick and metal.

According to written sources, paintings were also done on Chinese cloth and incorporated with Chinese motifs; however such paintings were not preserved and only those which were engraved in metal and stone remained.

Many of the remaining engravings depict humans and animals with overemphasized torsos before floral backgrounds. One of the remaining paintings of the Sukhothai era can be found at the Wat Chedi Jetteo illustrating a Buddha in a reclining posture; it’s on a plaster surface and in black, white and red colors.

Thai paintings from the 16th century onward are characterized by divine or royal personages in gestures, postures, costumes and jewelries similar to what can be seen in classical Thai theater. Practically all paintings were done as murals, not on canvas. A result of this particularity has been that paintings could not be preserved when buildings were damaged or destroyed.

The National Arts Gallery

The National Gallery (Tel 281-2224) on Chao Fa Road, opposite the National Theater, exhibits traditional and contemporary works by Thai artists. The gallery is open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays 9:00-16:00. Admission is 10 Baht.

I have once read (but do not know whether this is scientifically confirmed) that in France in 1789, there was an ergot epidemic.
