Just as I thought...

When's the next TV meeting?

If same question would have been popped around 6 or 7 years ago, maybe, right now there are much more better places to live in with that kind of money (South America, Hong Kong, Macao, Vietnam and why not even Cambodia)

Not sure about Coke, but it seems harder and harder to find 7Up around anymore. Does anyone have any idea what's that all about?

If the world organizations would ban idiocracy, the world, including this forum, would be a very, very, very quite place. Just had enough of people who watch the news and suddenly they're just sooooooooooooooo knowledgeable...pure ignorance

Your post isn't helpful, but I guess it wasn't meant to be.

So it seems that even you find no reasonable argument why the breeding of these offsprings of human idiocy (your words) should not be banned.

In my opinion anyone who "needs" this kind of four-legged killers should seek and obtain immediate psychiatric counselling.

Maybe or maybe not. Have you checked in with your shrink yet?

Nothing better than some good old competition eliminating, just to state that the only drug trafficking and flesh selling will be done by the Thais or maybe Russians if proper taxes are paid, since Asians love them white scoundrels

And yet another 1 day miracle...pathetic

Nice, looks like WW3 is actually in motion then. Would somebody remind the US that with the technology nowadays this is not going to be some remote shiit anymore like Vietnam or Iraq? Guess the govt. officials have already made plans...

I'm actually looking for one also

Looks like someone is trying very hard to convince Thailand that US is needed, just to make sure they don't make bff with China...pathetic

I'm just going to disregard all the predictions made by Mayans or whatever, just as I'm going to disregard 2012, but in all honest truth, things that are happening around us do not indicate a very jolly future. My most imminent concern would be the tensions between US and Iran and then considering China's and North Korea's position in the unfortunate eventuality...that doesn't look unreal or impossible to me at all, not mentioning that most of the biggest wars in history were preceded by a financial crisis and all the chaos that we're living in now...doesn't look good at all, folks, that's all I'm saying

Like everything in this world, everything has to be treated with common sense in order to work. Congratulations for the way you're raising your kids, I'm terrified for the moment when I'm going to have mine. I know that everything I talk about it's easier said then done. But just because the current trend points internet and all this electronic era, doesn't mean that this is the right way...all I'm saying is that we should have the right to interact with the world the way common sense dictates us. Everything is beautiful as long as it's natural and makes sense, for us as souls and reasonable, rational, decent human beings

Hi alexth,

no need to be terified to raise kids. Just give them guidance and do what you think would be the best for them. Raising a kid (or more kids) is not easy, but as you said use your common sense and everything will be fine. The problem with Thai people is that they don't seem to have common sense!

As for your feeling about internet and electronics. Well, it's just that they are much more available now than in the past, so you need to find a balanced way to live with them. Don't hate them, just use them to your advantage and try to give this to your (future) kids as well. The internet can be a wonderful thing (it can be used for information (but need to be careful) and communication, it can be used to learn something (if used the correct way), to entertain you (movies/games etc.) AND it can be used to make money (I have a webshop as well besides my normal job.). As I said, try to use the modern tools to your advantage.

I never said I hate internet and electronics, being away from my main business, internet and electronics is what allows me to be away and enjoy Thailand while doing some other things here, no way I hate any of it. I'm just saying that kids are spending more time than they should in front of computers and IMHO parents should show them a basketball or a football from time to times, I'm pretty sure that won't make them regress, it's called health for God sake

I smile when I see the comments....

"It was better before Internet, when kids were out playing instead of sitting in front of the computer!"

Naw, I don't think it is not the kids or youths who are in trouble with their socializing and Internet.

It's you, who doesn't keep up with the evolving society. You are getting old.

I take it as a compliment. Since you have that almighty internet around, try googling "right to an opinion", or some government censored that where you are and now you're convinced that there is no right for an opinion

Haven't been there yet, but from their websites it doesn't seem that cheap

going out playing kids games, do sports and what most of us (in our 30s or older) used to do when we were kids.

I think that finding girlfriends online is just pathetic

"going out playing kids games, do sports and what most of us (in our 30s or older) used to do when we were kids."

Yes, I did that too when I was a kid, BUT then again all the electronic toys (PC's, iPads, touchscreen phones, Xbox etc.) were not easily available as it is now was it? The KEY is that you as a parent (I think you don't have kids if I read your comment (correct me if I'm wrong)) are responsible of what content they get exposed to. My 2 kids (1,5 and 4,5 year) are already using the PC and iPad, but I make sure that they cannot find violent games to play. You need to use these electronic toys in advantage to help them learn their ABC's etc. Of course it's more difficult to control the more old they get, but the point is that you as a parent for sure have influence in this.

"I think that finding girlfriends online is just pathetic"

Well, it's just the modern way of communication, so for sure there are more people who find a girl on the net (I didn't, but I can imagine that it can happen more and more in this Facebook time)

Good on you to try and explain this. I find many friends on the net and I have never considered myself pathetic. My cross cultural knowledge is expanding and improving daily.

Was talking about dates...not just friends...anyway, I'm not gonna go on and on about it, everyone has the right to it's own opinion

hahahaha, I tend to agree, not even Americans are doing a better job at keeping their citizens dumb

I don't have the iPhone 4S yet, but as far as the iPhone 4 is concerned, cool applications start showing up after jailbreak. Just my 2 cents

Narrow minded cause I'm not fetching girlfriends online? This is simply hilarious. Shy to ask a girl for a date? I am 30, I own a computer since I was 9 years old, but I received an education from my parents who tried and push me for as many outdoor activities (fun wise). You guys can say whatever you want, but let me know what you're gonna do when your kid is gonna turn out obese, as sedentary as their grandfathers and with their eyes looking like a panda bear.

I know internet and electronics in general are the biggest part of our new life, can't argue on that. But why not teach kids to use one of them Nintendo WII or Xbox Kinect and move their <deleted> sometimes? Why not take them out jogging with you? Send them for basketball, soccer, swimming, whatever practice?

With some of the opinions here, no wonder the new generation is gonna drive us straight to hell. Kids that are made, owned and distributed by corporations that not only own us, but our kids too.

Simply amazing...

Fred,

Thanks for the reply mate but like I say I don't trust the post up here.

Never heard any complaints whatsoever

Everything has good points and bad points. I believe that Facebook, or Farcebook(ha ha) and Twitter have more bad points than good. Looks like to me they cause lots of divorces and problems in the world.

Are you for real? How can facebook and Twitter cause divorce? Do you live in some kind of fantasy world?

No, but sadly a lot of people do. Pathetic, but this is the world we live in

Networking that ends up in divorces, break ups, sex and so on does not affect me as much as watching kids hooked on that stuff 24/7. I see 6, 7, 8, 9 years old kids that spend ALL of their free time in front of the computer, with their eyes glued to that s**t, instead of going out playing kids games, do sports and what most of us (in our 30s or older) used to do when we were kids. You ask one of the little clitters about stuff like hide and seek, cops and robbers and so on and they look at you like you're from another planet and when you try to explain them, they don't even know where to begin and comprehend the idea. That is truly sad, at least for me it is.

Since ever, I only had 2 dates I meet online and it wasn't a "hello! how are you? let's meet up" kind of thing, more like related to some common activities (not sex related ) and with one of them I'm best friends now after almost 5 years, other than that, I think that finding girlfriends online is just pathetic

Doubt bags were forgotten, more like the mule got a whiff of BIB

More like a tip or maybe just a bad shipment that they needed to dispose of anyway, so what better way than getting rid of it by helping the hand that keeps business running smoothly? Really...how is it that someone just "forgets" to pick up 73kg of methamphetamine? Needless to say, that for this kind of tips, cops don't send in newbies that can be spotted from a mile away
