    Why does this require specific examples? Racist is racist, full stop. And you are taking this thread off track. I am talking about extreme racist and bigoted expats living in Thailand, not elsewhere and not swaying this thread towards politics abroad.

     

    I have met several expats here who appear to be extreme right wingers. Yet, as one poster has mentioned, I`ve met several expat men who are in relationships or married to Thais in Thailand, some with children, that for reasons I don`t understand seem to have made Thais exempt from their superioristic points of view. Maybe it`s because it suits them to do so? But these people do hold a type of arrogance bringing their old prejudices over to Thailand that I don`t like.

     

     

    It matters because the term racist is used by generation pantywaist to label anyone who does not believe in open borders; who does not celebrate diversity; does not believe multiculturalism is beneficial;  is conerned by Islamic fascism, has witnessed the ethnic cleansing of inner city and the establishment of ghettoes, opposes the establishment of sharia compliance in Europe; is worried by uncontrolled, mass illegal immigration etc. That's why we moved here.  Calling us racist is meaningless..

    From personal experience I find 2 bitches harder than 2 males to keep together. The two males may have the odd fight but after the fight that is the end of it, they are happy again. Bitches generally do not forget and can have continuing issues/sulking. Also I find fights between bitches a little more serious, where as 2 males its just a bit of a slap around. 

    The in-laws female Retriever we used to look after for a while. When my bitch hit about 8 months she was getting physically bigger than the Retriever, my dog had no issues with this, the Retriever did (knew she was losing her position). So aggression started to happen. The Retriever is a great dog  with people, but likes to be boss with every other dog in the village. My dog would never retaliate to injure, just put her in a submissive hold - which was good as no one ever got injured even though the Retriever had intent.

    Luckily for us though we could send her back to a few weeks after the aggression started. However, not long ago (6 months after they last saw each other), we drove past on the way to the vet. Even seeing each other through the car windows 20m away from each other set them off. She is the only dog my dog will show any sort of aggression to in the village now. Thai dogs can even fear bite her and she will just continue walking along and ignore them, but the Retriever is a whole different matter.

    Litter mates I think are either inseparable to the point where they will have anxiety issues, or aggressive. A lot of hard work to get them right...I could imagine your situation. 

    you are really feeling that poor child's pain aren't  you? 

    Windows 10 Activation from pirate copy to make legal

    in IT and Computers

    Posted

    I had a legitimate copy of windows 7 which automatically upgraded to windows 10 over 18 months ago but two months ago my comp crashed and I had to replace the drive. I discovered the windows 10 version is a pirate copy I think. I am getting a message on screen to activate windows.  What will happen if I do activate windows? Can I buy a license key this way? Will I get castigated and blocked?  I am concerned because I am travelling to Europe and do not wish to travel with an illegal copy.  Any advice would be welcome  Apparently I cannot use the OEM number from my original windows 7 package.

    Interesting! Weirdly music playing isn't something I've noticed about the place. I will try to pay attention in future and open my ears. Definitely don't recall any kind of rap. Their clientele is mostly South Asian and Arabic reflecting the tourism demographic there. Portion size people can get an idea from the many pictures here.

     

     

     

     

    Indeed it may have been a one off aberration - hopefully not to be repeated. 

    Candle Festival in Ubon 2017

    Maybe it's me writing this on an older thread.

     

    And it seems quite simple: I just understood that the candle festival always takes place on the two Bhuddist holidays:

    Asahna Bucha Day followed by Khao Pansa (misc scripts exist).

     

    And that is definitely July 8 and 9 this year.

    I think it should be known that heavy traffic is expected (four day long weekend).

    Yes I am inclined to this date rather than the oft quoted 20/21.  Thanks for your imput.
