Collective guilt is a bad thing, and, no, we should not be responsible at all. But do we blaim russians, Ivan and Petra for the war against Ukraina? Yes we do, they should have stopped Putin in time, but again, then we have to blaim many of our allies to, as well our own countries. No collective guilt necessary

If you look at it differently, we or most of the people have become better to take care of each other, and the majority have more options to become someone they want to be. Try to turn the negative spin around to something positive for your self, and change your own reality. You and me is as I feel during our few exchange of thoughts here, on our opposite ends. You slightly to negative, but, yes you are right, and me a tendency to positive, but Im also right. Then we have to choose how realistic we want to be or not. I choose to stay positive even there is daily proof of your negativity, but why should I let those negatives influence my world, my life right here right now? I do prepare for bad days, but still keeps my mind bright and light.

The nature of the game. Do you seriously believe russia is the only one provoking?

Trash have a tendency to accept trash, because they do not know anything else, or do not comprehend to know how human psychology affects and control people. To much of those in Thailand, like fly paper attracts bugs. Sad but true

A veteran can not be a pervert, or there is excuses for his actions?

she was 17 and used by epstein, and served around. Not sure about your human skills and emphasis with other vulnerable young people. Not my business and for sure not my business what you decide to think and feel about other peoples traumatic experiences.

They making friends all the time, Saudi Arabia have become a beneficial and a strong partner in crime. We do not like to think about it, but we know how this is going down one way or the other.

And with a attitude like that you are a problem on Thai roads

If you do not understand the pattern, you are part of the problem, especially coming with a western approach on Thai roads. Good luck

Some thai drivers is better than most expat drivers who is not willing to adopt to the thai way of understanding the complicated pattern of driving. Seen many expats creating dangerous situations because they are stubborn and think they know how to drive in Thailand.

I am part of a endless movement, riding a round small bullit in space at tremendous speeds, and nobody knows when the journey ends, we are just passengers without control

Not afraid of dying, just afraid of not being there when I can. Today walking through the train station in opposite direction of those heading for work, I look at their faces, their body language, and their automatic walk to their destination. This is people of all ages, all kinds of profession, and genders, but so much alike. Im so blessed to be able to jump off the wagon before it was to late.

Im more afraid not being here for those I care for, right here right now. Everything is not just about us, or I, me, my, mine, it is also about we, us ,,,,,,,,,,, Through others you can find your true self, or true experiences

I do not bash agents, I bash those who use agents who pays corrupt emigration Officers because they do not meet the requirements for legal stay. It can be me in the future, so therefore have to make sure I have enough assets to continue living legal in Thailand. Most of those who arrived here a decade or longer ago had a different reality than us who came 5-7 years ago. Everything was a walk in the park, our currency was stronger, and everything looked bright, now we facing the last loopholes disappearing, and the requirements tightens up as it rightly should.

So, what was the problem and who was the problem? Challenging cultures for sure, and for those who believe Thai is easier, well think again.

Even it is 1000's of years, doesnt automatically make them right ???? The problem is to define your searches before yourselves get polluted and jump on the wagon where you continuously create new and alternative fake realities and do not realize how far from your pureness you have come. Our minds needs the continuous growth to keep it interesting, and stagnation is not part of our nature. Find the pure orign, stay with it, instead of the materialistic hunger for more, and it becomes toxic.

It is a sad thing that your originated country make you feel alien, and not leaving you with gratitude that you are able to live the life you have now, because you where born in the country you alienate your self from. Born in Thailand, it is very much depending on your family is rich or not, to experience such freedom as you have.

I can just imagine how your wife feeling, and how she making you feel, ai, cant be easy when the family putting pressure on you.

I always sleep over in Bkk, or at airport hotel depending in what time my flight is. It is not worth the extra stress or time if you are going on a long haul.

I remember when I just could hand over the passport to the collector at my fav beach in Krabi, and get a new extension for 800 - 1200 baht when the bath was almost half of the price now. Good times it was, and sad it came to an end.

The master of simplicity! Another great mind ending up being an funny character cultivated by his followers. Another Jesus type in another time.

We can agree, buying girls at all and especially underpay them is bad, and one is worse than the other! See no problem of spoiling girls compare to give them to little. Some people like to brag how cheap they get things on sale, and bragging about how much some is paying for the girls is no exception. Low class if you ask me

I do not know anything about those good customers or their self esteem, just what the girls said. How is the self esteem of a cheap charlie? Or a average customer?

I only heard that from girls sitting in a bar, when they describe regular customers, who is cheap charlie with disguise and Gooood customer with a big smile. Good customer is often used by the girls as opposite of Cheap Charlies.
