I get so <deleted> off with someone who replies first, saying 'oh here we go', so jaded, and so judgemental (I know if someone's judgemental just by looking at them....). I'll bet when they have sex even before penetration they say "well, this won't be much fun".

I think bar girls refer to them as 'ATMs'.

Hatred of women? Where do you see that? What's wrong with you? Are you Gary Lineker, jerking off to your white knight complex?

The post I replied to did. You just cherrypicked one part of my comment. Try to follow the thread mate The reaction of one person to a scream will be very different to another, don't judge everything by 'what I would do'. No arithmetic necessary.

Just the bit that offended him, nothing germane to the subject. It's quite pathetic that anyone who writes disagreeing even slightly with someone who makes a blatantly racist comment (in this case: 'typical of Thais, trying to deflect blame') is always accused of 'defending Thais'. Low-born and uneducated Thais behave and respond in exactly the same way that similar people in New York or London or Melbourne do. Some are offensive. Most are fine. There are many bigots in the world, it's the law of averages that some of them will subscribe to this forum. That doesn't mean that their racially-motivated insults should be ignored.

Thank you for your concern. Did you have any comment on the actual content of my post?

If someone screamed unexpectedly at me I could certainly lose my concentration through shock. Why is that hard to believe? I don't even know if that happened here, but that's not what your saying, is it? Anyway, it's utterly insane that because I said it's wrong to single out Thai people for being a nation that tries to deflect blame more than others, that I'm then accused of defending this driver. Some members of this forum really are hard of thinking....

No dummy, my point was that it's just stupid to say that THAIS like to deflect blame when it's just the human condition, worldwide. Got it now? I don't defend Thais, I just prefer some actual intelligent comment.

No, it's sometimes just jewellery, sometimes a display of their faith. Not an amulet.

Just check 'down under' before agreeing a takeaway.

"Else Majesty" ????????????????

How could you miss it? It was in the post I quoted. On the Chang early today?... Its a forum about Thailand, NOT a Thai-bashing forum. And especially when the remark was so ridiculous. Thanks for the chat....

Because trying to shift blame is only a Thai thing. Jesus.... ????

Totally true, ignorant but unrepentant foreigners are very often insensitive to local culture all around the world. Europeans wearing skimpy beachwear to the mall in the UAE for example. It's illegal, but security guards rarely say anything. It's usually an old local lady who will shout at them eventually. Also I had words with a Chinese man shopping topless in Lotus Hua Hin a long while back. Not my job I know (I'll say it before the usual fools jump on me), but I was actually offended.

I forgot how much you like to quibble. Do you see the name of the establishment? No. Do you see the name of the owner or manager? No. Do you see any names of those involved other than the person attacked. No. Do you see any names of the collection of other local business owners who have rallied around to close this n matter down quickly? No. The media got a sniff of the matter but don't have these details because they have been kept quiet. Shhh. So just leave it, eh?

It's like working at the BIB!

Enjoy your fois gras.

It has been hushed up. The local businesses got together to make sure no names leaked out. The guards were sacked from their jobs to appease the man attacked and the authorities. I trust you see the difference.

I've never heard of costs being awarded in Thai courts (I could be wrong), but this wasn't a court case anyway. Damages were agreed and paid to hush this all up for the local businesses.

And where exactly does it say he's seeking damages? It doesn't.... He's seeking justice and a lesson learned by over-zealous private security goons. ????

And who exactly are 'they' and do tell me how you know what 'they' are thinking? ????

I think the word 'many' is completely wrong. I know 'many' farang here, and I don't know one that outwardly displays any worries of inferiority (which is the word you were looking for). They all seem quite at ease in their dealings with Thais. Perhaps you meant to say 'some', and to qualify it with the fact that you're not speaking from personal wide experience of seeing farang being nasty to Thais....

I agree. My comment was itself sarcastic. ???? Not all countries have an elevated system of humour. In many the general level hardly gets above basic slapstick, with lots of screaming and if on TV, with silly sound effects.

Not surprised, satire can be clever and witty, but sarcasm is just the sharp tool of a blunt mind. ????

Can it translate sarcasm?
