It wasn't a crowbar, it was a toy. They knew they were in control. They acted like professional men, officers of the law. Props to them.

Please... The police treated him perfectly. An angry kid with a toy. They were never in danger.

Yeah, but they certainly knew poverty in their childhood. Their adulthood was certainly easier than the generation nowadays, particularly regarding buying a home

"My place or yours?" doesn't really count, buddy .

I dunno. My dad is a boomer. He grew up in a family with 9 siblings in (what was once) a slum area with no indoor toilets. He didn't even have long trousers til he was 12 (living in a bitterly cold part of Europe). Surely that's harder than a lot of Isaan people's lives, no? Don't most boomers know poverty? The economy was not that great in the West back in those days, nor was sanitation, infrastructure, healthcare etc. etc. Christ, my mate lost almost all his siblings to Diphtheria, like 6 of them. Boomers know hard times. A sick buffalo ain't the greatest hardship.

By "looking down on them" do you mean: buying them drinks, giving them tips, buying them gifts, marrying them, buying them a car, taking care of their family, building them a house, and allowing themselves -naively - to be fleeced of everything by the cunning of the poor village girl?

In all fairness, it sounds like you do nothing.....but that's not an insult.... I'm jealous of your lifestyle.

Ah yes, the farang-haters crawling out of their nests for this pile of rotten garbage.

Never lend money.

Something tells me you couldn't think of any.

Meanwhile what has Biden done? ????

I honestly don't know how you've gotten away with calling them fascists so many times without having your posts removed. There's nothing factual about it; it's your opinion - yet you spout it like it's a fact. You rarely provide any link/evidence when calling them fascists and you have never provided conclusive evidence to back up your claims.

In what way? The only difference really is that in India they mostly eat vegetarian curries. And their curries are rarely very hot Whereas, in Britain it's mostly meat curries and menu items like Madras or Vindaloo will blow the ass off you (unlike in India).

I've never heard conservatives refered to as "sleazeballs" before. Something about pot and kettle springs to mind

Exactly How "the left" can think they are correct in this equation, I dunno.

You aren't aware Britain has homeless? You aren't aware asylum seekers are arriving on boats without documents and then being out into hotels? I find this very hard to believe.

Exactly. I saw a photo of British homeless sleeping on the streets outside a 4 star hotel filled with illegals (who were actually complaining about the hotel conditions in a video online, lol).

Not in Thailand, buddy. It's 60 here. And there's no need to split hairs of a few years anyway; you get my point: he took on guys several decades younger than himself. Although, he's an idiot, it took some balls

Yeah, god damn socialists.

An OAP slapping a young fit bouncer.

Who knows? It's just as likely they questioned the bill or something. And got told to pay up and go away.

You mean the elderly farang, slapping a much younger man, probably decades younger - and one who does bouncing as a profession, lol. The old guy was brave and dumb. I dunno how I would describe the bouncers. They probably felt they needed to put on some theatrics to save face. It was certainly unprofessional to take it that far.

Yeah, it's too much to expect professionalism and sense though. Just a "let's kick them in the head til they stop moving" mentality. The old farang was definitely dumb for slapping the bouncer, but the bouncers were also wrong for their - attempted murder - attack on an old man who gave a feeble slap and his son who had done nothing wrong except trying to defend his dad on the ground getting his head repeatedly kicked. I don't suppose there would be any debate if it had been a woman on the receiving end of this attack after giving weak slap; we do love some good old fashioned man-on-man violence to applaude.

That's my goal. ????

Yes, I agree. Anyone who knows the stock market knows that the S&P generally does 10% a year on average, so 20% in 7 months definitely has positive vibes.
