How do you get private investment for things like flood defence and land bridges? Is there a return on the investment?

I realise these people don't like smoking, but why don't they get this mad about pollution? They must be glaring at a smoker smoking outside (likely harming no one) while they themselves are breathing in all kinds of pollution from Thailand's air. If they aren't wearing some sort of filtering mask all the time while outside, they would have to be quite unhinged to complain about people smoking.

It literally happens in this story... 🙄

That wasn't "mob justice". They strung up a dead body.

Why treat all dogs the same when it's one type that's causing the problems? Ban the dogs that are bred to kill and do most of the disfiguring and killing. I think sometimes you forget that when you constantly troll and disagree with people for fun, you often make nonsensical arguments.

The guys just a bit of a crackpot. He tries to make out that all foreigners are bad and all Thais are wonderful. He comments on a public forum, then if anyone replies to him, he starts to get angry that people are "getting involved". As if his comments exist in some kind of vacuum, whatever he says is fact, and anyone who disagrees is winding him up. That's why I found it particularly ironic that he would give another user a dressing down for behaving a lot like him.

Why ban the dogs that aren't bred to kill and don't regularly kill and disfigure people?

The obvious answer is to ban dogs bred to kill, but would that even get enforced?

You need to look up what primitive means before you discuss it.

Mr. Pitsanu has the making of a pretty awesome album cover, should he choose to change his ways and head in a musical direction... 🤔

He's being dishonest. Asians sleep on the floor or other hard objects because they can. For whatever reason, they find it comfortable, probably because they are a lot smaller than us Westerners. Same with the big wooden sofas. I can't sit on them for more than a few minutes, Thais are happy to use them all day. Sadly, when you say something that people don't like, the lies begin... 🤷‍♂️

would it be fair to say that part of the culture is primitive ? Obviously, yes. It pretty much fits the definition of primitive exactly. Unfortunately, the "you can't say that" brigade decide that certain things aren't allowed to be said, even if they are factually accurate, because they consider them too negative.

Surely the question is should you defend yourself? Unless it's a sustained attack, it's quite likely that any fighting back will end up with a mob of Thais attacking you or you being charged with a crime.

Past tense. 😬

Imagine if they had a press conference very time they arrested a Thai for similar level offences... 🙄

They will, though. That's the problem.

Yes, wait until the dog kills someone, then you know the dangerous ones that you need to do something about. What a genius Roger is... 🙄

I'm glad they didn't get away with these two crimes. The strolling along Walking Street being the worser of the two.

"My job is to build the road, not worry about utility poles."

Could easily be that they were asking her a series of questions to gauge her legitimacy as a tourist, with some intended to confuse or amuse, observing her response.

To be fair, if they bought 10,000 of them, that's 5,200,000.

I think there are two factors. 1, men and women are about 10-20 years apart in terms of when they peak in eligibility. 2, they're also about 10-20 years apart when it comes to aging. A man at 18 has potential, but is not super attractive as a long-term romantic partner. He needs to work hard to achieve this. A woman at 18 is almost peak attractiveness as a long-term partner. She needs to work hard to maintain this. Men are probably peaking at 30-40, in terms of attractiveness as a long-term partner, while women have already lost a lot of attractiveness by this age. This is why it seems so natural that men should find younger women attractive, while women find older men attractive. In terms of aging, while a woman will begin to look very old by her 50s, a man will still look OK. But once a man reaches 70, he's probably going to be showing his age also. I think that one of the problems with relationships in the modern West, is that while there was this kind of imbalance, there was a kind of deal where if the women was chaste, the guy stayed with her forever, even when she was old and unattractive while he was still fairly eligible. Now that women want to sleep around until their 30s, men are losing interest.

Likely a typo, but this chap does seem a little bit loopy. He seems oddly obsessed with the idea that someone claiming that the state may abuse the power to kill people at will is, in fact, an attempt to justify rape and torture committed by criminals. 🤔

Women are very different to men, so probably not.

So, for 1-10 years, imprisonment is OK, but more than 10 and we should just kill them?
