It sounds like he didn't enter through immigration.

He'd have to be pretty aggressive to warrant stabbing him to death. Hopefully she isn't able to avoid responsibility if her claim is untrue.

It's fairly obvious that these are people with a trans agenda asking for gender affirmation to be tacked onto a same-sex marriage bill. I'm not applying anything. Nor am I showing any bias. I'm simply discussing what was said in the article. I think you're misunderstanding what I have said, and what was said in the article. All parties claim to be worried about the wording. So it isn't just about being treated equally and being allowed to be married.

Very unlucky that the one time that he does it someone was filming... 🤔

While it's possible that the van was new and well maintained, how likely do you think that is? Most vehicles in Thailand stink, even the relatively new ones.

Everybody knows that Lou. But when the source is from vehicle exhaust it smells does it not? Where was it reported that the van was filled with the smell of exhaust fumes? Why does it need to be reported? You can simply use your brain. If the gas was coming from the exhaust, it's very likely that there would be the smell of exhaust fumes, unless the carbon monoxide was somehow being filtered out into the vehicle. 🤷‍♂️

It's part of the culture. Better die than risk upsetting someone.

Or out into the street. I wouldn't wonder out onto any kind of fire escape in Thailand.

You may indeed be a monster for sharing this image... 🫢

I would imagine the woman thinks it's funny and not untypical, given the kind of people attracted to Thailand and the "holiday attitude" that they seem to have, but the child is probably a little more confused.

Just noticed there's a woman and child standing in the background watching him. I wonder what they're thinking.

Even though it says the attacker, a martial arts thug, was wondering around for hours looking confused and aggressive, and even attacked someone else? You still think the victim must have done something to provoke the nutcase to kick him in the head from behind?

Is someone who makes a citizen's arrest a good Samaritan? Aren't they people that help someone?

What's your secret?

Tranquil and bustling? I don't think you can have both.

Largely meaningless. The person in question still wants to be a man, and that is what they want the legislation to make legal. You have neither successfully rebutted what I have claimed, nor have you pointed out any bias after stating "Bias One". The article clearly states what is wanted: "Activists say using “parents” and “mother and father” in legal terms will affirm those who identify as LGBTQ on equal terms with other couples." They want the legislation to make them legally considered mother and father/parents to the child/children. Once again, you've failed to rebut what I have claimed, and you have again used the word "Bias" without showing that I have displayed any bias. You can't show that I am displaying any bias, as I have not done so. I have merely comment on what is in the article. You are wrong on all counts.

What's a Farang?

Although it sounds highly illogical and unlikely, they could have decided that one of the two boxers had clearly won and paid out as such.

Someone tried to fight a ghost???

It was crazy to see the grandpa from Look Who's Talking in there...

Many a true word spoken in jest.

An interesting point of view, although I think you've possibly misunderstood a couple of things. First, "old man yells at cloud" suggests that someone is angry over nothing and reacting in a futile way. Which, personally, I do not believe to be the case here. Second, if you encounter a problem, share it with someone else, then receive validation that you are right to be annoyed and the offending party has indeed done something that is socially unacceptable, you will feel better about the situation. Discussing your problems will generally result in you feeling better about them, unless people disagree and point out that you are in the wrong. Although this, while negative, might give you a chance to realise you were wrong and work towards rectifying the situation. Obviously, if you are endlessly negative about everything and anything that you encounter, it could drive people away. I don't feel like that is the case here, though. The complaint seems reasonable.

Are you seriously suggesting that people blasting sound out of their phones in public places like bars, cafes or busses is fine and normal, and to object to it is to be a "grumpy old man"?

Lol. Sure thing, Grandpa. I guess all us whippersnappers should quit complaining and get off your lawn, huh?
