Property isn't "debt". The loan is secured against the property. People don't talk about mortgages like they do debt. Ridiculous. How is anything I said "Thai bashing"?

She's been in steady employment for 20 years. That's a long time to be still paying off a reasonable family car. Chances are she got into debt buying things she didn't need.

20 years of working the same stable job and 100,000s baht in debt? I wonder how much of that is garbage like iPhones and pick-up trucks...

Australian, so probably both...

Especially a death-van or stinky overnight bus.

You don't need to compare it to anything to say that these children should clearly not have been riding on this motorbike and allowing them to do so directly led to a man's death. They objectively do not have the skill or the mentality to be responsible for riding a motorbike safely.

Don't reply to MalcomB. He's a troll and literally says whatever he thinks will aggravate people.

Pretty much whatever they want. The parents don't seem to care.

"If someone bullies you, tell your teacher!" "Praised by parents online." 🙄

Probably best to run away whatever the numbers. Fighting a local is like fighting a woman; if you lose, you lose, if you win, you lose.

A lot of guys like it when another foreigner is attacked, as it makes them feel more special.

When you teach people to hate foreigners, then show them there are no consequences for attacking them, this is inevitable.

But we all know that could be something as simple as complaining about being scammed.

Not just that, people are picking the most toxic sides from each culture. Thai people seem to want the rights of Western culture with the benefits of Thai culture. "Give me this, give me that, I don't have to listen to you, but still talk nicely to me and don't criticise me or I'll lose my sh*t."

I think you can close the thread right here. Colonialism, drugs and prostitutes...

If only Thais were there, this is believable. Thais rarely intervene in anything, unless they're particularly outraged and in far greater numbers than the offending party.

When we all know the right thing to do would have been to let the cop shoot them! Because that's what "good farang" do.

There was no "insurrection", and Trump left because he was voted out. Of course he will leave at the end of his term, if elected. The idea that he won't is pure fantasy, concocted by the never-Trumpers to try to keep him out of office.

Nah, he left. There's no way for him to stay forever and he didn't do it before, so there's no reason to say that if he wins he'll stay forever. It's just more lies told about Trump. Pretty irresponsible lies at that. The best we can hope is that the never-Trumpers are just so stupid that they didn't realise what they were doing. Di Nero certainly seems stupid. Unfortunately, some people believe the never-Trunpers' lies and things like this happen.

Organised, left-wing, anti-Conservative violence - and that's actual violence from groups like antifa, not just threats - dwarfs any random pro-Trump calls to violence. The left has all the outcast, unemployed, "revenge on society", communist types in their ranks.

The idea that he won't leave if he is voted in this time is ridiculous. He was voted out before and left. That is what happened.

I blame Robert Di Nero. "If Trump gets voted in he will never leave." Sure, just like he did last time he was voted in. 🙄

Unless the sniper had already been neutralised.

Unfortunately, a lot of people don't realise that a photograph shows only a fraction of a second of time. They feel that if they can see something in a photograph, it is happening for the length of time that they are viewing it.

Antifa IS a group. They are a violent, left-wing, fascist group, who attack innocent people for their political views or allegiances.
