Thats how I felt for over 10 years on this site too. There comes a time (for me anyway) when you just can't be bothered with some people anymore. At times I enjoy reading some of the bickering between posters, so my block list is very short.

why make things more difficult yourself? I've blocked one person and the forum is a lot better for me to read due to this. That person is not offensive, but it's like he's on one lifelong acid trip. I can't be bothered with the jibberish he posts every day.

Considering the quality of many rural roads here and the flooding every year, it makes sense to buy a bigger vehicle.

Do the national parks currently enforce the no alcohol rule? Do they search bags or spy on people?

What are you talking about? She was likely cheating on him for some time based on how quickly she went to the new guy. He likely killed her to defend his honor (in his mindset, which is not uncommon here). She didn't play the game smartly. At least let the air cool a bit before bringing the new guy into the equation.

I'm not defending the killer but the woman didn't need much time to hop from one man to another did she. It sounds like it was premeditated to dump the boyfriend and get with the next guy the day after, meaning she'd likely been cheating on him. Both elements means a huge loss of face.

It was my understanding from Thai tattoo artists in Bangkok that they will do Buddha tattoos above the waist, but not below. Naturally some people (netizens) will take offence at anything.

Makes sense. Everyone is looking after their own interests. The morality of being top dog no longer stands for much.

I'm waiting for those who brag about flying business class all the time to explain these numbers. As a cattle class passenger, I don't get it.

I think the current interest rates on mortgages are hurting a lot of people. It's ridiculous how much of the payments are interest.

We get it. You used to play volleyball at a decent level. I get the feeling that you are a good guy, but you're rubbing people up the wrong way, especially when asking for advice. Hence my concern about you working with children. Regarding your initial question, I have no idea, but if you can help the students, I honestly wish you well. As Impulse said, people do volunteer for altruistic reasons, which I'm all for.

Did you have a work permit for the work you mention there? If your gonna get all touchy with posters who have valid concerns and even one who defended you then I'd also not want you working with children in a sporting atmosphere.

I seem to be the odd one out as I see many Thai English teachers now who can speak good English. They can't write it very well, but in the other three skills I've seen a lot of improvement over the years.

The fact I can see what is going on in front of my eyes is why I'm so surprised by your acceptance of a two tier justice system. Sure some foreigners are causing problems, but the majority of laws broken are by the host population who know the law a lot better than tourists do.

I think you need to up your meds if you think that relating to the laws of a country.
