  1. Then how has it become the dominant culture around the world? That doesn't sound like something a weak culture could achieve.
  2. If I was being very generous, it's a way of pointing out that non-White people might have trouble doing these things and we therefore shouldn't judge them as a result (a little patronising and illogical). This angle is to help White people understand non-White people. If I was being more realistic, it's a way of saying that things that White people might be proud of, or positive things people could say about "White culture", are bad because they are different and linked to "Whiteness" and non-White people don't have to feel bad for not having these things. This angle is to attack White people.
  3. A lot of it seems to be accurate. Certainly in terms of attitude, if not always reality. Kind of weird that it seems to be being presented as a negative thing.
  4. But his grandma told him... 🤷‍♂️
  5. I just completed this quiz. My Score 90/100 My Time 37 seconds  
  6. I thought the same. The "comradery" here comes from preventing another rider from something that might make him consider wearing a helmet more often, which is very much a good thing. People seem to get a little confused when it comes to the police and the reason for having fines. Surprising, given how dangerous the roads are in Thailand (and how often people complain about this fact).
  7. Can you bolt a piece of metal to both ends of whatever is broken? Like a splint? That will probably be better, just not great to look at.
  8. It's already illegal. This is about parents.
  9. Then it probably shouldn't be called the "anti-spanking law", as spanking is quite mild.
  10. Sure, White majority countries need non-Whiteness artificially injected into their politics. That should really help with xenophobia and ethnic nationalism... 🙄
  11. It looks like you wrote "correct", not "agree". 🤷‍♂️
  12. Even if they manage the latter, I doubt the former will ever happen, by design.
  13. The thing is, people can make sense and still be wrong. If say "A means B, therefore we have no choice but to do C", they may sound completely convincing and appear to have a good point. People can present a "logical" argument and still be wrong.
  14. I think the issue with you asking this is that it was Hitler's subjective opinion, so you can't really say whether it was correct or not.
  15. He needs to re-read what he wrote and have a good think about why he does what he does. He basically admits that he said the thing he said purely to make Thai people like him, which is pretty messed up.
  16. Therefore we should allow dogs to kill humans? An odd take, but you're free to voice your opinion...
  17. Hitler was a powerful speaker, a populist, and appealed to people's fears.
  18. Interesting perspective here: Vichai Matakul, a writer and creative professional, commented on Apple’s decision to remove the controversial ad. He explained that Thailand has lost a valuable reference from a creative and production point of view. The movie showed new perspectives of Bangkok that went beyond temples, Chinatown, Cowboy Alley or Pattaya. “The loss of such a reference is significant because future filmmakers would have used it for their research. This movie had excellent footage for future projects. Now Thailand could be discussed as a problematic filming location because of the problems Apple has had in the past. Other locations might be preferred to Thailand.” Oh dear: “My only question today is: What do I have to do for the Thai people to accept me? What do I have to do for the Thai people to see me as an equal? Just because I look different, does that mean I can’t be Thai? This has really shaken my self-confidence and hurt my feelings. I want to tell Thai viewers that I am serious about this content. I stood up for Thai people on CNN because I thought it would make them love me and accept me as one of their own. I apologize to anyone who was offended,” he said.... If this guy knew Thailand as well as he claimed, he would know the answer to this question.
  19. Horrific. Thai people would never stereotype and insult foreign people en masse... 🙄
  20. Christ, just kill the thing. What about human welfare?!
  21. Surprising that people are commenting on it, given how dangerously Thais drive every second of every day. This can't be anymore dangerous than a family of four riding one motorcycle, the wrong way, in the dark, with no lights on and no helmets.
