Couple Arrested for Murder and Dismemberment
BangkokReady replied to Georgealbert's topic in Isaan News
A 22 year old mother, murdered because she asked people who borrowed money from her to pay it back. Thai people find some pretty wild reasons to excuse killing each other. -
Over protection of children
BangkokReady replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Its apologising for swearing . If you accidentally swore , you excuse it by pretending that you were speaking French . "Excuse me for speaking French" It's "Excuse my French". And it's not for accidental swearing. It's also not seriously pretending that the words are French. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article is about the phrase. For other uses, see Pardon my French (disambiguation) and Excuse My French (disambiguation). "Pardon my French" or "Excuse my French" is a common English language phrase for asking for excuse for one's profanity by the humorous assertion that the swear words were from the French language. It plays on the stereotype of Gallic sophistication, but can be used ironically. -
Primary School Cancels Easter Celebration to Promote Inclusivity
BangkokReady replied to Social Media's topic in World News
What are you talking about? Your compulsion to disagree with people whom you perceive to have a viewpoint you dislike appears to cause you to make no sense at all. Why would someone need "evidence" to ask "How likely do you think X is?"? It literally says that the school celebrates several different religious events. If it celebrates non-Christian festivals, then it should celebrate Christian ones also. You just spew garbage and make no sense. Maybe finish your coffee, read posts properly, and engage your critical thinking before commenting. -
Primary School Cancels Easter Celebration to Promote Inclusivity
BangkokReady replied to Social Media's topic in World News
What are the chances that it's reducing the Christian festivals while maintaining or increasing the non-Christian ones? Sounds like it's the old, "Diversity means non-White and non-Christian, and the less White Christians, the more diversity". Seems like diversity doesn't quite mean what they say it does. -
Minister Demands Stricter Security at Bangkok Malls After MBK Brawl
BangkokReady replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
They aren't university students. That explains why they are so different to university students in the West. They're vocational students, so not really proper students. It happens all the time. Probably low-status, so need the boost from violence. -
You asked me to explain something, so I did. I'm not sure what else I can do to make you understand. To be honest, you sound a little unhinged. You really haven't made a very clear point. It's very rambling and you're quoting one thing that was said in response to another, as though there was a direct connection. You're asking one thing, and then pretending like I responded to something else retroactively. It's pretty incoherent, even for you. Maybe have a rest, come back and re-read what you wrote, and see if you can understand/explain your point a little clearer. 🤷♂️

What I have said is perfectly factual. You not liking it does not change that, nor do your bizarre attempts at disagreement. 🤷♂️ Quite the assumption on your part to suggest that I enjoy your outrage. It's actually quite tiring. Those of us with functioning brains simply acknowledge the risk things like this create and move on.

Trump Takes Backpedaling to an Aerobic Extreme
BangkokReady replied to placeholder's topic in Political Soapbox
Of course. Trump is a smart and shrewd business man. He's not going to do anything stupid, and if one of his policies becomes clearly negative, he's obviously going to adjust. I'm glad you're finally posting more positive news about Trump. Good for you. -
OK. Fairly simple. I'm sure you know all of this, but just don't want to be honest about it. 1. Only giving the assumed name, when the person could be using their real name. 2. Referring to the suspect as a women, when "she" clearly has the appearance of a man makes identification harder (I know you think the "but the mugshot" argument is a get out, but people don't see a mugshot walking down the street, please learn to think critically). 3. Describing the person as a woman means that someone could believe that they have female physiology and are less dangerous than they really are, leading to someone being put in danger. 4. If police staff believe her to be a woman, then, once caught, she might be secured somewhere with women, putting them in danger. 5. If police officers believe her to be a woman, then officers might use less force when making an arrest, believing her to have the strength of a woman, rather than an adult man. The list could go on, as there are so many scenarios where it could cause harm. But I think that's plenty to support my point and prove you wrong (as usual). It's pretty clear how correct I am. I'd love to see you back up your points like this now and then, but we both know you don't because you can't.

Thailand Prepares for Bold Rate Cuts to Spur Economic Recovery
BangkokReady replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Why not? -
I figured you'd be along soon to defend the undefendable. Don't you ever get tired of being awful to people just because your warped ideology says it's OK?

Ridiculous. This is literally a case of endangering everyone just to not offend a very tiny minority. A perfect microcosm of the whole trans debate.

Biden’s Attempt to Fundraise for Democrats Falls Flat

Why wouldn't they want Joe's support??? -
I hate to tell you this, but the Native Americans are also illegal aliens. 🤷♂️

Au Bon Pain and Café Amazon.

That's fairly typical in chain cafes in Thailand. I see Thais doing this all the time. Often you see meetings or classes where they buy one drink and sit for hours. I even often see Thais take up a multiple table with their bags, then half disappear for a while and come back later.

Must Read German Attacker of Dentists in Korat Found Dead with Slashed Neck
BangkokReady replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
My suggesting was that two aggressive rottweilers in the area would make it very difficult for a group to grab the guy, kill him, then make it look like a suicide. -
Thailand Prepares for Bold Rate Cuts to Spur Economic Recovery
BangkokReady replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I watched this the other day. Amazing the level of debt people were willing to go into just so they could create the façade of living a good life. That one guy was like, "I wanted to have a successful life, a house and a car, so I borrowed the money to have those things, even though I cannot afford to pay it back." He wanted to have the appearance of success, even though he hadn't actually achieved it. -

What happens when rates go into negatives? Do they start taking money from depositors and paying money to borrowers? -
Are Thai teens more mature than West

Does the inequality ever make you uncomfortable?
BangkokReady replied to RSD1's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Inequality is obviously an issue in Thailand, but why single out 7-11 workers as your point of reference? They may be low paid, but they're hardly living in poverty. Of course they aren't resentful, they live fairly comfortable lives and don't really care about foreigners anyway. They have many benefits that foreigners don't, even if you have a little more money than them. Why would you not reference genuinely poor Thais living in actual poverty? Homeless children, people living in shacks under bridges, disabled or sick people crawling around on the floor begging. They are the ones living in real need, and probably the only ones that you should really feel guilty around.
