The relevance of that McNamara's Morons video is that DEI attempts to promote people beyond their intellectual capability. 

 

We have always known the truism that "everyone will rise to their own level of incompetence." 

 

What's different now is that people are short-circuiting the system based upon their DEI status and inflicting their incompetence on us all without even having the decency to put in the effort to climb the ladder. 

 

And I jest you not - this is as serious as a heart attack. The 70% population is crashing in numbers due to depopulation. If you think things are bad now, wait till you see what happens by the year 2040, 2050 max. And a fair number of us will be alive to see that. 

 

I wouldn't go as far as "bookmark this comment and come back in 15 years" but countries including Thailand will meltdown as there won't be enough people to conduct a functioning society. 

I agree with what you say but I think Thailand will fare better than you think. They have their own issues but so far seem to have avoided the DEI virus

You should be careful choosing who to fly with. In the US, 5% of airline pilots are female. Air India is even more, 10%.

fortunately there will always be a man present on the flight deck "just in case" and they are never expected to park up unsupervised

it can affect the whole organisation. Stock prices, dividends, and survival of the business are important. 

those things are indeed important to most people who live the in the real world  However, to the advocates of this DEI insanity who either live in the protected environment of low quality "universities" or who are "employed" in non-jobs funded by the taxpayer or who simply live off benefits,  none of the things you mention have any meaning whatsoever

Apparently they are all on a sex strike so we'll not need to worry about the next generation of lefty weirdos as they won't be born at all. 

We can only live in hope

A person with Down's Syndrome would not be qualified to fly a plane. A person of a minority race, gender, or even transgender might be qualified. If they are, they should be considered for the job.

"considered" sure that's perfectly ok  but not given or guaranteed  a job because they are "special" at the expense of a more capable "normal " person.  If I was running a business I would expect to employ who ever I wanted without explaining myself to somebody like you

And, yes, I am a lefty - a very far-left lefty. 

There will be a cure for that soon hopefully,

No! No! No! Attitudes like that are precisely what DEI is trying to eliminate. People are not "bad rubbish" just because they are different from you. 

lol no no no what?   DEI is contrary to nature and as such it is unsustainable.   How happy would you be on an aircraft if you knew the pilot only qualified because people with down's syndrome were currently under represented as  commercial airline pilots?

So a tourist gets assaulted by a Thai thug   I read that bit but nothing in the OP about chaos on the beach or drunk tourist except in very general terms.

It's not just the Booze! The Ganga has a lot to do with it. Mix them both, and then it shows the typical Brit or anyone of Caucasian heritage who thinks they are the superior race and can lord it over everyone else. 

booze of course, ganga has little to do with it, infact without ganga it would be worse,  bad behaviour when drunk  is not unique to caucasians, many stories on here about Indians (and their women) being involved in "incidents"  Caucasians only feature more often because there are many more of them, its not rocket science.

I know a guy who made a fortune providing financial services to top tier football players.

 

He commented, but for the ability to kick a ball and run fast, most would be otherwise carrying a hod on a building site.

 

 

I note that you have encountered a bit of criticism for the above comment, but to be honest this is one subject I agree with you on.

I went to school with two lads whose fathers were pro footballers in the 60's   I won't mention any names but both also became pro footballers. One played for Rangers and also for England .   Both as thick as a dockers sandwich  both attended the remedial class, accompanied by every member of the school team.

However neither would ever have cut it as a hod carrier

I doubt the current crop of imported   foreign footballers are any better, some of which have never been near a school. However they might make better hod carriers

Another tool goes to revenue department to ask questions. Revenue departments confirms for the millionth time foreigners who don't work in Thailand don't have to pay tax.

 

If you really want to pay tax, just file a tax return and give them money. Leave the rest of us ALONE.

not often I agree with Celsius but this time I think he is 100% on the ball. Well said indeed. 

  This issue is similar to covid in so much that some people have become consumed  by anxiety and have made some rather strange decisions as a result,  the same people are desperate to convince others to behave in the same way as them in an attempt to validate their own behaviour.

        like those who got all stroppy over people not wearing masks outdoors or when alone in a car, jail time was called for , but the same people had no issues taking masks off to eat    

         A rumour starts, ostensibly from the "authorities"  and a small group of "sheeple" do the rest without even being asked.

         My worry is that these fools have now created a self fulfilling prophecy,  The revenue department must be getting overwhelmed by all these strange farangs desperate to pay them money, It wont be long before they start accepting it.

According to the uneducated medical conspiracy promoters who bombard the forum with their imagined scenarios it is possible. Most likely the person has a cold and not influenza.

i reckon its covid,

Youngsters under 23 years, shouldn't take any drugs including alcohol, as their brains aren't fully developed.

rubbish

is this "shock horror " story the start of the latest anti cannabis campaign by state sponsored media?    Can we expect some sort of announcement from the authorities soon?
