I think it is a british thing "queensbury rules"  " A fair fight is a fair fight"  etc but I also think its one of the British values that is gradually being eroded. One of the "benefits" or rather consequences of multiculturalism in my opinion

Bring back the Krays, E. London would be very different. I thought I was Bangladesh when staying at IBIS Whitechapel!

Where I come from, Liverpool Uk . attacks on elderly relatives are very rare,   like any other city, there is  no shortage of scuffles between  youths, but 5 onto one really is frowned upon, by those involved and by society in general,  it is considered a sign of cowardice , and is even  liable to result in repercussions from one's peers, the same can be said for attacking from behind, or kicking a man when he's down. 

Similarly in Scotland, especially kicking someone when down. There are repercussions. Must be  British thing. 

Now in Scotland, this square go culture is a thing of the past, i heard. 

I wish prayer was compulsory when I was at a comprehensive school in Scotland.

How does that work?  Seen many one to many and never witnessed the many stop to elect the person to fight.  In the real world, fights are rarely one to one.  We Farangs are the minority here and hence the natural consequence of us fighting many Thais.  Same would happen in Mexico, Columbia....

Interesting, it would also happen in Finland, Spain, Portugal, France, Philippines, China, and Vietnam. 

I've been to the doc and got some medicine to take to get rid of this. 

I'd never heard of it before and have no idea where it came from.

Maybe a recent procedure on my oesophagus?

Oh

Wahhhhh, unfair to falang, wahhhhh. This whining gets old. If you don't like the way Thailand does things go back where you came from. I don't blame Thai people for being angry at foreigners when they misbehave. They have every right to be prejudiced if that's the case, it's just human nature. You're all a bunch of intruders to them, they didn't invite you here. And from where I sit it doesn't look like you have much understanding or respect for them. (I'm not referencing this incident or these particular criminals, only the ones you generally imply are "so unfair") And it's the kettle calling the stove black - you're no less prejudiced, your prejudice against Thais is transparently revealed by all  your remarks. You have no moral authority to preach from. Nor do any of the rest of you. Who cares how the press covers it? There is little or no real journalism left ANYWHERE in the world. The rest of us didn't come here to listen to a bunch of doddering complainers. We know where we're better off - here - and we're grateful. I've managed to get through 10 years here without being treated so unfairly that I have to cry to the newspapers. Imagine that. If you want to change the world join the Peace Corps. And lastly, this is an example to prove all of you wrong - Thai people actually being arrested by Thai police, but that's not good enough, is it? Of course not. You enjoy complaining too much. 

Exactly, the Thai bashing is out of order. 

Trying to imagine a couple of Chinese, or Muslim, or whatever being aggressive at a Scottish festival like Hogmany. We aren't going to say he Mr foreigner let's have a square go, especially if they were bigger, like most foreigners are to Thais.

and no shame involved at all. that's how it is here  so if you intend to" have a go" anytime   take your mates with you, When in |Rome an all that

Don't most countries do the same when foreigners or immigrants are involved?

Not farang for a change

I just got a voluntary class 2 payment from the government(343 pounds) and see that if I pay this for the last 2 years, I'll only have 5 years more to pay to get the full amount. 

Also just noticed that I can delay my pension.

Does anyone here do this and or what are the benefits?

Wow, they are not even allowed to kiss in public in Thailand.

You are allowed to say 'Jews' now and 'Jewish State' is the official political term. Get updated, bro.

Of course, don't let them weaponize antisemitism.

You are either alcoholic or not. 

Simple test, have 1 drink at 8am in the morning, another at 3pm and one more at 9pm. If you can do this, you are not an alkie.

After being an alcoholic for 23 years I breathed a sigh of relief when I blew well below required limit after a couple of beers at a Christmas party. 1st and only time I was ever tested

Alcoholics can't have a couple of beers.

The one time I was breathalysed  was the exact day that I had not had a drink..which was kind of a relief ( lucky ??? 5555)  

I know a couple of people who did jail time for killing people after drinking and driving. I don't see the funny side.

You chose either a very unfortunate, or else an entirely appropriate, screen name.

 

One might even replace "German" with the name of the governing Party in the 1930s and 1940s.

Another one weaponizing antisemitism. 

There is absolutely nothing wrong with pointing out that Biden's administration has more Jews that any other religion. 

Can we talk about the lack of Muslims in the Senate/Congress?

Of course the US falsify the number of Muslims in the country. Inaccurate representation of Muslim communities in the Census has significant implications for political representation.

Oh no! He said 'Jew'. ANTI SEMITIC! Shut it down!

 

So it's hateful to wonder to which country the Jewish US Foreign Minister is pledging his allegiance to by saying that he comes as a Jew? How can this dude be objective in that matter and represent the US citizens interest and not just Israels?

 

 

Jews are the majority of the Biden administration yet only 2% of US population, why is this and does it have any effect on US policy? 

How many Muslims in Biden administration? 

Valid question. 

US invaded Iraq to help Israel, so will do the same with Iran. 

Aa an alcoholic, this was a frequent occurrence for me in 90s Bangkok. 

Things were different then, I was never in the news for getting into  a drunken fight in a blackout. 

My pool has had a friendly toad for a couple of months, now his buddies have come and making it dirty/green. 

Any idea how to get rid of them without killing them?
