So no homework they just get more Dumber than they currently are, Kids of today ok mum home early no homework on to the computer games

homework does not equal knowledge. Do you know this difference between declarative and procedural knowledge? Learning skills? Learning how to apply knowledge? Can't be done by rote learning. This is a step in the right direction.

Far-right terrorists? Oh, I know what you mean.... would never have guessed with such a telling avatar ???? 

What a lot of daft old xenophobes there are in this forum, I wonder why any of them ever left their own countries. And please, spare me the 'But, but the Thais are xenophobic too', didn't your mum teach you that two wrongs don't make a right?

And the naivete and gullibility of Farang who believe that being civilized in an uncivilized country (Thailand) somehow wins us points.

 

The truth is that your morals are only a burden on you in Thailand. They are only an asset in places the value them.

 

Us white people really need to step into the modern world and stop pretending and fantasising that everyone respects our values 

well you used words....

Problem is it's all food for the conspiracy theory, doom mongering, tin foil hat brigade.

And there are a lot of them on there.

You would think the cronavirus was the revisiting of the 14th Century Black Death the way some of them get themselves worked up on here. They have no sense of perspective, proportion or being able to sniff out bs. Funnily enough, the same thing a lot of them accuse the Thais of being all the time, go figure ???? 

When I ride outside of Bangkok, I see cars and mostly pick-up trucks doing dangerous overtaking a lot. See overtaking on bends, with oncoming traffic or before junctions. 

Before everyone starts jumping to conclusions, I know it is TVF and how they love to do that here... most news are saying it was a family dispute, not a copycat mass shooting.

Nah , They will Urge/Beg the government for handouts.  ????

 I think you will find it is the rich who get all the handouts and not just in Thailand. 

Neo-liberalism at its finest, shift the risk to the driver and laugh all the way to the bank

Im sure the destitute folks of Venezuela would happily let their government be overthrown by old Uncle sam in exchange for a minimal diet of Arepas and perhaps some aspirin.

 

When one has nothing, it doesnt matter who offers something, as long as its something.

Yes, the classic coup playbook, destabilize the country, cause trouble and then move in to say you are 'helping' - you should read some history

Sorry if I offended your feelings about security guards. I quoted one line, which found to be rather comical. I'ts a well known fact that many security guards are sound asleep at 3AM.

oh please, let's stop with the 'offended your feelings' trope. Because someone doesn't agree with what you are saying doesn't mean their feelings are offended - it is such a non-argument

I see the tin-foil hat brigade are out in force

Looking for coup backers, it is what Washington has always been good at

Do people actually believe the nonsense printed in this newspaper? And I use the world 'newspaper' very lightly in this case.

What has probably happened is the guy has some disease, he collapsed, someone at the Sun heard about it, put 2 and 2 together came up with 5 and bingo it is the Coronavirus

Questions like this inevitably bring out the imaginary John Lennon theory of "no countries", where people should be free to choose wherever in the world they want to live, without the restrictions of any local laws.

The people who advocate such fantasies rarely think through the consequences of the mass migration, from poor and underdeveloped countries, that would ensue. Often the same people decry the deterioration of their own home country from just partially open borders.

A great theory, that would eventually (in 100's of years) result in a complete melding of the world's population, but at what cost, and what would be the leveling out point? Would academia, science, fascism or religion be the main philosophy? 

 

I live more in the real world, with experience telling me that open borders will not work at this point of world disparity and unrest. (and disease!) Thailand has found that out, as their previous lax attitudes to border jumpers resulted in the country becoming a haven for criminals and other undesirables.

Of course, their attempt to become more in control of who enters and stays is typically chaotic, disjointed and even bigoted.

 

I would report any overstayer who harms me, mine, my bank account or is noticeably harmful to the community at large.

(Unless such action would result in harm to me, mine or my bank account)

 

 

 

 

then maybe we shouldn't have a world where countries are ripped off and made poor then - then we wouldn't have this migrant problem, just a thought ????
