BangkokReady

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.

Horrific. Thai people would never stereotype and insult foreign people en masse... 🙄

Christ, just kill the thing. What about human welfare?!

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.

Sounds like it, but I'll never get one, still have an old Nokia works for me. Actually, the QR code is probably something you print and then it gets scanned at the airport by an automated scanner.

Right in the profile then left when you met?

A nice thing to do, but a lot of homeless people want to be homeless, or cannot cope with living in a home, due to mental illness.

They were bred to kill, and that's what they do. 🤷‍♂️

Of course. He's a troll user so he's saying something that he knows bothers people.

It is a "London bus", though.

As I wrote before, silence... Next he'll be saying that he doesn't have to acknowledge that because, "it's a right-wing talking point". 😆 Make the wild claim/accusation then: deflect, deflect, deflect. 🙄

I did. I was commenting on what someone else was saying as part of the discussion. You should be able to see that.

I merely described what you were doing. It's all there if you want to go back through the comments and confirm. No personal attacks here. I have no need of them.

You clearly don't know what ad hominem means... 🙄

Do you?

The combined ignorance and arrogance is amazing. "Go ahead, I'll wait... 😃" Then when the evidence proving them wrong arrives...? Silence...

The problem with a lot of these liberal types is, not only do they think they have some sort of responsibility to troll anyone who disagrees with them, and think that it's required of them to keep them taking on the internet and winding them up for as long as possible, but they also appear to have zero qualms about lying and trolling, even while constantly accusing others of doing the same. It feels like they think they're "winning" as long as they keep replying, even if it doesn't move the conversation on at all. And, even after all this trolling and harassment, they still think they're the good guys... 🙄

So they knew it was a BB gun? I assumed they thought it was a real gun...

All you really need to know. I'm guessing the back one was first, from behind, then in the neck as she turned, then the stabs to the stomach when she was already lying on the floor. A real frenzied and sustained attack. What's really sad is that the girl is already a victim of her circumstances (abandonment, abuse, etc.), and she's just added a load more trauma and challenge to her life.

"Hey! We didn't make these kids incredibly impressionable and naïve for you to use!"

"I cannot recall" is fairly standard response when you don't want to answer the question because the answer will get you into trouble. 😉

Sounds like he was simply changing his "principles" to suit the role. In other words, he liked having power over others. When you changed the "others" his "principles" appeared to change because he had to act in a different way to exert power. So he didn't really have principles in the first place.

Free clothes? Noooo! Million pound "after dinner speeches" to a company that you did favours for while in power? Yesss! 🙄

It sounds like they're actually looking for a way to give them less.
