On the contrary, the only one here who is aggravated is you. After all, you're obviously very concerned with what I do, whereas, I am not the least bit concerned with what you do.

I agree! So, it's really a matter of personal choice. I could be a cheapskate and do them myself, or I could spare myself the aggravation and hire a professional to do my taxes for me.

Applying for a visa extension is easy, getting it is an entirely different matter. So, do try to bear in mind that getting an extension for some individuals, with different situations than your own, might be far more complicated without an agent.

I could do my own taxes every year, but instead of pulling my hair out and going stark raving mad, I hire a professional to do my taxes for me. Hence, some of us just don't like dealing with government bureaucracies and we're willing to pay agents to do it for us.

Yes, they do and that is very unfortunate, but we are not discussing them, as you very well know. So, stop trying to misrepresent my positing and coming up with straw man arguments that are irrelevant.

You're right, I wouldn't because my family members do not go around antagonizing their neighbors or deliberately putting themselves in harm's way. The problem with you is you simply refuse to hold anyone responsible for putting themselves in harm's way. In fact, I highly doubt that you would accept any responsibility for your car being stolen if you parked it in a high crime area with its doors unlocked and its key in the ignition.

Let me try to make this as simple as possible so even you can understand it. If I walked around Harlem wearing a Ku Klux Klan hood and robes and made racist anti black speeches and then got shot by some angry black I would be responsible for having created the situation that caused myself to get shot. Now, that having been said, the individual who murdered me would still be guilty of murder.

That was called the knockout game by the perpetrators, who were low IQ Blacks. Their victims were almost exclusively White or Asian.

Where exactly was I belittling and mocking?

I wrote, "if you are going to engage in an activity with the deliberate purpose of upsetting other people then whatever happens to you is on you." So, are you suggesting that a person who deliberately sets out to antagonize others by playing loud music, or stinking up one's neighborhood with rotting garbage is not responsible for any unpleasant consequences that may befall him?

I find it difficult to have any sympathy for people who deliberately antagonize their neighbors. When I lived in San Francisco there was always some A-hole who played loud music just to disturb and upset others. So, bottom-line, if you are going to engage in an activity with the deliberate purpose of upsetting other people then whatever happens to you is on you.

I don't think that would be in anyone's best interests, but I do understand your sentiments.

If it was up to me, I would exercise diplomacy and remain polite and respectful while informing the Chinese what they are requesting is unacceptable. However, at the very same time I would also inform them that in the interest of fairness they would be given the opportunity in the Thai Press to challenge and refute any news articles and broadcasts they disagree with.

It depends on the situation. People are always hesitant to help in a situation that might endanger them personally. If a car skids off a road and crashes into a tree, other motorists will immediately stop and render their assistance to those individuals in the crashed vehicle. On the other hand, if a criminal is physically assaulting someone, then very few people anywhere will help. But that is to be expected in a society that feminizes men and considers masculinity to be toxic. In my own case, I have intervened on behalf of my fellow citizens who were being victimized by criminals many times.

Section 374. Refusal to Render Assistance "Whoever sees any person in life danger, in spite of the ability to assist without fear of danger to oneself or the another person, refuses to render assistance shall be liable to imprisonment for not more than one month, or a fine not exceeding one thousand baht or both." https://library.siam-legal.com/thai-law/criminal-code-misdemeanors-sections-367-374/

Glad to hear that! I haven't touched the old girl in years due to her eating disorder and her current weight of 352 pounds.

I'm sure you'll feel better if you just take a few days off, relax, get a massage, and go out and buy yourself a new dress.

Let me get this straight, you're leaving this website because someone on these forums upset you????

That might be helpful, but it won't resolve your anger issues. You'll need professional counseling for that.

And if you were to read out loud anything written in contemporary English orthography pronouncing every word exactly as it was written none of us would understand you. Hence, when English-speakers learn to read, they do so by memorizing the words, not by sounding them out. And for that very reason children in the English-speaking world are lagging two years behind their Finnish peers in Finland, where the written language is an exact representation of the spoken language.

No, my contention is that the United States has ethnic and racial groups that have much higher homicide rates than Israel's Jews. In the United States, for example, African-Americans comprise 13% of the total population but they commit more than 50% of the nation's homicides. Latinos makeup about 18% of the population and have a homicide rate of around 20%.

Absolutely, and long before you were defecating in your diapers.

I don't debate drunks, so come back when you've sobered up.

Of course this is different, elephants don't know any better, whereas criminals do. That having been said, one does not need a lethal jolt of electricity to discourage animals from entering his property. In fact, my cousin had an electric wire that prevented her horses from wandering off. Also, according to the article, installing electric fences against wild animals is illegal and a serious offense. So, it looks like the plantation owner has gotten himself into a lot of hot water with the authorities.

Oh come now! The English language hasn't been spelled correctly for centuries.
