Its only the internet, people who grew up with black and white television need to understand its not to be taken so seriously.

Find a girl your age and one that has an open mind and some appreciation for the fact that you come from a different culture and that there is such a term called "meeting in the middle". There seems to be this perception that all Thais are dead set in their ways but that's not necessarily true.

I don't get the wrong side argument. We drive on the right side of the road where I come from too but its not that hard to make the adjustment. Its not like its a completely different form of travel, like going from a submarine to a space rocket or whatever.

Sickest thing I have read so far this year, keep going thai gov, many months to go...

My point was its a stupid comparison. You don't ban cars because they might kill people. Banning guns is viable because their sole purpose is to kill or injure some one. Hunting rifles are beside the point. I have close relatives who own them and they keep the locked up. I highly doubt they would think to brandish them among people.

Great line of reasoning. A car is for transportation. What are the uses for guns?

Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

yeah, the US even needs more GUNS GUNS GUNS to make it an even safer place than it already is...... how SICK !!! Obama got that right..... no guns, no shootings. It is as simple as that (and most civilized countries in Europe where guns r near to non-existent in public are living prove of that)

Yeah but what about if a family on their way home from church gets attacked by muuuslims? If they dont have at least an assault rifle each they gonna get slaughtered by those savages. You have to defend yourself, its just like the movie Mad Max! Except with muuslims and hispanics and black gangbangers, oh and potsmokers too, with the munchies!

Amazing...

"The kid shouldn't have skipped school"

If the next news report is about a rape are you gonna write "the victim shouldn't have worn a short dress"?

Its not only the fact that a lot of people have guns its also the mentality and the culture of such hostility and fear.. "Oh some one is in the basement probably trying to steal a few of my belongings I better end his life"

In another country the first impulse would perhaps be to call the police and run over to a neighbour.

"Mentality and the culture of such hostility and fear"? Sorry, in big cities like Cincinnati there is real crime and it is completely plausible that someone would break into a house to steal or worse. It's ridiculous to assume that the choice was defend yourself or simply let them steal something...because you can't predict what the criminal(s) in the basement wants, will be satisfied with or to what extent they will to get it.

In another country - the first impulse is to run because people are defenseless. Just like the first impulse is to stand by and do nothing when one of your soldiers is run down in the middle of the street then hacked to death by two men with machetes. I'm sure they all called the police so why didn't the police stop it? Where were the police in Paris? Where were the police in Cologne? As the saying goes, "When seconds count, the police are minutes away".

And for the posters here who want to take this tragedy and say stupid things like "wingnuts will say the kid should have been armed too"...that's just sad.

Well the whole premise is to have a society where citizens don't shoot other citizens. And this is where opinions differ. In good ol' Murica you have a 200 something year old paper that you for some reason view as an incorruptible and holy sacrament and there is this notion that independence and freedom pertains foremost to the right to use deadly force which is quite laughable.

Agree to disagree yeah...

Yes and I would imagine the purpose of a run of the mill burglary in a residential area being theft and getting out before you are noticed. Not touting a gun and killing the occupant because of pure evil and malice.

At least where I come from (Northern Europe) I think we have long since surpassed the notion that a tan signals wealth. It does sort of scientifically improve your appearance though, adding shadows that pronounce your features and also hides some blemishes. And i also guess a lot of people just thinks it gives a more fresh and vibrant look. I think the whiteness craze in Asia is a giant step above the minor tanning craze in the west.

I passed them on the motorbike at night a couple of days ago opposite Central festival. Nice to get an explanation, it all seemed a bit random at the time

The" superstars" on thai tv overdo it sometimes, I guess its mostly make-up but they end up with a silver complexion and it looks absolutely ridiculous.

If the pay is so low, why do we pay first world prices for coffee?

Look at the muay thai gyms and that whole industry in Thailand. You are practically paying the equivalent of two Thai trainers monthly wage for the training. That's an even more extreme example.

No its not but right now its 2016 not 1916.

I cant for the life of me understand how you can question the fact that the situation for workers in Thailand is far worse than for those in Europe, to narrow down the term "west" a bit.

Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

Come on now, in the west we have the rule of law and there are ways for people who are treated wrongly to right the situation. Thailand is in another universe in comparison. And you know this.

The thing that most of you seem to miss is that thais are completely at the mercy of theist employers..

My gf has a qualified position at a huge company. Ones in a while she and her colleagues get "asked" or more along the lines of told to work 36 hours straight doing inventory. I ask her if they pay for OT she says "I hope so".

Forget about thainess this, service industry that. Its about the people in positions of power having zero regard for human worth.

Control the Internet. Suppress the common people. Keep education for the masses minimal. Why are the people no happy? Oh, sorry they are! All 99% of those specially selected to answer polls. Country is going downhill fast. Pity.

Ignorance is bliss. Do you really think thais sit around and reflect on freedom of speech and democracy? They are thinking about the next snack.

Come on he only tried to stab a guy, its not like he shared something on facebook.

UNFAIR? Then what is fair? If the media did not help to expose this, all the slave workers would be perpetually suffered in silence and the concerned government officials together with their cronies are reaping in big money.

Fair according to them is adhering to the pillar of thai culture i.e making sure nobody looses face.

Do you ship to Saudi Arabia?

Concerns about violence? Why? Better yet, why are the police NOT doing their job and policing the even in force, if indeed, they feel violence might erupt?

Ask a thai person about what happens every time there is big concert.

I saw a bunch of koreans walking merrily along the highway on their way there yesterday.

Its given me a new home.

Doubt it..

Ok, for now then at least

I will keep enjoying it till they throw me out.
