There is a certain class of guys who would need to pay for sex and pay well, otherwise they would never get it. Step forward the members of the "ugly, fat bellied, big tittied brigade".
If it is genuinely self defence the first time he hits the ground you make sure he cannot get back up, if it means hitting him again then so be it. But if the attacker is lying on the ground with no sign of getting up then you do not hit him again.
I am the exact opposite, I found that driving in America, my car, not motorbike, in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Nashville etc etc was much safer than driving in the UK, and the drivers more courteous.
I won't mention driving in Thailand.
If people want to come and live in this country or any other country and are contributing to the economy, why can't they just be left alone without all this hassle from immigration?
Just imagine the UK if every adult was contributing to the economy instead of all these immigrants costing the taxpayer.
They just do not realise they should drive on the inside lane unless overtaking.
On a 3 lane carriageway the vast majority of Thai drivers are so stupid that they hog the
middle and outsides lanes all the time.
I do take your point about Thaksin and I agree with almost all of your posts, but let me point out that when I first came to Thailand to stay Thaksin was the PM in 2005.
As an expat I compare Thailand then and now, Thailand is much worse now, but compared to the UK the good still outweighs the bad.
"Look at how stupid the average person is." That's a load of nonsense, in the 20 years of living in Thailand and meeting people of all nationalities, although I have came across the odd idiot, it would be very wrong to say the average person is stupid.
Maybe if he took care of his appearance he would have got a lift without waiting for hours. I would not like someone looking like that sitting next to me.
