For what, hurting the security thug's boot with his head???

Did you ever meat someone who liked to fight who said, "I generally choose people who are clearly going to batter me to have a good fight with"?

Well said. It's the Amsterdam/Las Vegas/Cancun effect. I wasn't trying to suggest that cannabis makes people more aggressive, but I am saying that when cannabis becomes part of the allure of coming to Thailand, it starts attracting people who have less respect for the culture, and who see Thailand merely as a party destination where anything goes. Interesting point. I hadn't considered this before. However, is Amsterdam (which also has prostitution as a big draw) have the same issues?

Why is that trolling? You should always be able to explain your point (particularly when that point is "you're wrong"), or provide evidence to support your claim. If you cannot do that, then you shouldn't make the comment in the first place, as you show that you are either not genuinely knowledgeable or are unwilling to engage with someone on the topic in an adult way. Either of which will make people not take you seriously.

You can't back up your point?

That's what he has been focussing his entire energy on since he got in! 🤦‍♂️ Immigration: protect people and wages Tariffs: create jobs for hardworking Americans Anti-DEI: protecting people from discriminatory hiring practises To be honest, if you have a problem with Trump, you basically have a problem with folks being given a hand up.

How so?

The thing is, we actually like this, or at least the environment that led to it. While this is the bad side, the positive side is that Thais get on really well with each other, support and cooperate easily, and there is sweeping societal harmony and trust as a result. If it wasn't like this, people would probably not come to Thailand anywhere near as much as they do. We enjoy the positive side, but know to tread lightly to avoid the negative.

While I don't disagree, it's not the job of security to fight people in the streets, even if they're being goaded, and it's not right for everyone to storm in and try to stomp the guy.

In your opinion.

You think he deserved a battering for very little other than goading people in the street (who appeared to have made a circle around him to goad him in return)? justice noun (FAIRNESS) fairness in the way people are dealt with:

Yes, there are some really nasty Thais online. You should see the anti-Cambodia stuff, it's very unpleasant. It's no great secret that a lot of Thais don't actually like foreigners very much. There are no shortage of incidents where Thais attack foreigners who are quarrelling with other Thais, even where the Thais were in the wrong. Sadly, a lot of foreigners seem to be completely unaware of this. (Or perhaps they purposefully block it out.)

It seems that you don't understand the phrase. If you use "old White man" as an insult, it suggests that these things, alone or in combination, are negative. That's how insults work. So, what's wrong with being a White man, old or otherwise?

Is "she" your wife or the woman your wife was talking to?

What effect does that have on how right I am and how wrong you are???

You actually need me to show you a video of someone defusing a drunk person? You've never seen it before?

I think the problem is that he was goading the whole crowd, so basically multiple Thai males felt like he had kind of put them down. This meant that they all felt that they needed to each attack him in order to make themselves feel better. It was all about fragile egos, since he was basically no threat to anyone at that point. It's sad that people cannot rise above these childish football hooligan like behaviours. And pretty sad that people are now celebrating it also.

Yes. It is online, isn't it? And Google is our friend, isn't it? Here it is: "But the woman at the centre of the altercation has reportedly told police the whole situation was just a 'misunderstanding'. A source close to the investigation told ThaiVisa the woman involved, waitress Rung-Arun Sangsuwan, had told police she and Mr Robb were 'just joking' and she did not feel under threat." https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5392839/Fatal-Pattaya-bar-fight-started-misunderstanding.html See how you're wrong and I'm right? Isn't that cool? Especially after you not only made an incorrect claim, but then went on to accuse me of being the misinformed one.

I don't see much talking going on. So wait for them to turn up! 🙄 Simple, just get assistance from another venue, or not bash the guy before the police get there. It really is very simple. You're trying to make it difficult so that you can justify the guy being attacked. It makes you happy, because of something inside you. Just look how much effort you're going to.

You have evidence that your account of the incident is true?

1, Talk. 2, Call the police. 3, Restrain in superior numbers. It's very simple. There's no need to batter the guy. You just want that because of something inside you.

What's wrong with being a White man?

Unfortunately, a lot of foreigners seem to feel this way. They would probably like to see more foreigners being attacked and injured. They seem to really have a problem with other foreigners. What's funny about it, is how unlike Thais they behave, whilst claiming that Thais and Thailand are the best!

Agreed. Several years ago an Australian manhandled a girl on the 6 by lifting her up by the throat. American guy didn’t appreciate it and got into a fight with the Aussie. Aussie fell and hit his head and went home in a body bag. Wasn't that where the girl had actually asked him to do it and the American guy basically killed him for nothing? That doesn't seem like a good example to bring up.

No. It's tit for tat. That's why you didn't see any of this in his first term.
