Default Is this a lie... or just stupidity?

PAST SUCCESS??? No mention of PRESENT FAILURE, is there? You can't
count a slow decline in a business as a PAST SUCCESS. A decline is a

potential and you failed to make anything of it. How would "everyone on
Skype" know of your "success" when you have a failed business?

Krypsis, he's just TOO thick (or most likely drunk) to get it!

One only has to look at a well-established and extremely successful
business venture such as Jerusalem Falafel, which I believe is still
going strong in Chiang Mai by all accounts.


As far as I can tell, Jerusalem Falafal restaurant is still doing very
well, and under the same management. The woman on the left in this photo

is the owner of the restaurant and was at the police station to give
evidence against Johnson. Her restaurant makes and sells the same
products that Johnson made and most of his customers, when they got
tired of his racist behavior, stopped purchasing his products and bought
hers. He was forced to sell his business at a loss. She is still in
business. Her products are still selling well and can be found in all
the supermarkets, expanded shelving now that Johnson's products are no
longer taking up space.

To clear up one matter; Johnson keeps saying that he never owned a
business. It's true. In Thailand, all businesses must be at least 51%
Thai owned. The business was in his wife's name. Perhaps if she were the
figurehead for the business it would still be viable today. Instead,
people assoiated Johnson with the company, violently disliked him, and
boycotted his products.

of. Obviously the copious amounts of early morning liquor he consumes
wouldn't have helped either I guess. Was doomed to failure from the
start.


Let's re-phrase that to be 'copious amounts of early morning through
late afternoon liquor.' A bottle a day keeps the snakes and spiders
away. The DT's are difficult at best...
