Talks to Discuss Curbing Post-Holiday Activities
Bday Prang replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Edited 1 hour ago by Snig27 a A common practice for the new breed of scaremongering "experts" throughout the covid situation, and, well most things really -
Absolutely shocking !!!

mixed reactions ?? kindly enlighten me some for some against perhaps ? maybe some for and some very enthusiastically for,? and dont forget the "dont knows" some against , some aghast , many possible permutations, so I think for the phrase to have any significance it does indeed require explaining you seem to revel in the proposed restrictions in Amsterdam and you don't even live there , why is that? are you some sort of professional kill joy

" sub culture of activity catering to the drug needs of tourists" sounds very exciting and even though you are not there you are obviously very concerned and would no doubt put a stop to it if you could. What about the Munich beer festival were there are also activities organised around the drug taking requirements of tourists, would you ban that too Its a well established fact that any criminal / gang related activity in this context is a direct consequence of the prohibition itself , that would explain not only the lack of such activity around the Beer festival but also the presence of it where illegal drugs are concerned . So you think Thailand should take a look at that? oh I think they already have, and they decided to do the sensible thing i.e. removed the prohibition and with it any further mafia or corrupt police involvement , Good job it was not down to you to sort it out, Prohibition, regulations, bans etc etc the criminal gangs would love you as would the corrupt police . That solution has been tried for 70+ years and has been an abject and very expensive failure. they also tried it with alcohol once and that didn't work out too well either did it ?

Doesn't actually change the context at all in my opinion the bit that says "While cannabis-related travellers are believed to be high spending and well educated" is not in anyway altered by what follows, although I fail to see the logic in comparing a tiny area in the center of Amsterdam not much bigger than a shopping plaza, to the entire amassed tourist resorts of thailand Also The term "raised concerns" doesn't actually mean anything in reality does it

No I regard it as advisory, what are the anti-cannabis brigade trying to achieve by repeating inaccurate, misinformed and more often than not ridiculous beliefs and predictions amongst a majority pro cannanibis readership Are they trying to convert people, ? because I find that unlikely to be a very successful crusade or is it a form of trolling What I "advised "was for you all to join a thread/ forum that reflects your shared ignorance, a place were "rightminded" people can share their morally superior views and vent their outrage to a readership of likeminded people and get all the "likes" you desire without smart assed replies from irritating pro cannabis types That way the others can discuss the pertinent points of the original post without the constant whinging, irritating interuptions from people expressing their "concerns" many of which are often off topic

I think many on here are looking at this the wrong way, I don't think they really expect it to pull in the crowds of wealthy expats More likely what they are saying is along the lines of "We don't really want you to own land here but if you are prepared to prove how much money you have and also how gullible and stupid you are then we really have nothing to lose and plenty to gain. Can't fault them really, definitely an improvement on the UK's current immigration policy which welcomes destitute illegals who hate us

Don't you realise, Its not going to be compulsory to smoke cannabis, Just as its not compulsory to drink alcohol. nobody is going to be alienated, and nothing will change. What are you so worried about? Don't you also think that the availability of alcohol may well attract some "undesirables" along with alienating families, upsetting Muslim and Buddist sensitivities, increasing road accidents and compromising the academic development of the young ? I would imagine the target demographic would be responsible users who enjoy cannabis ,along with others who maybe don't. The idea of a "Pothead" Sodom and Gomorrah exists only in the warped imagination of people like you who really don't have a clue what they are talking about So social media is also detrimental to Thai culture and here you are posting your usual whinge on....social media ! Some might consider that a little hypocritical How exactly is the use of cannabis going to increase " these already pronounced anti-social and social alienation trends." Next in your sights for a whinge is the "almost all male government" what are you a feminist ? Why on earth would a foreigner be in the least concerned about the gender make up of a countries government nothing to do with you and more than a little bit arrogant like most of your post (s) Maybe Thailand should just ban any sort of fun, like Saudi Arabia for example and become a haven for you and your "cardio vascular" aware friends that would be fun wouldn't it? To be honest if the relaxation of cannabis laws discourages just one puritanical dinosaur like you ( and your "cardio vascular" aware friends ) from from coming then it is definitely all been worth while as far as I am concerned

Doctor Warns Another Big Covid Wave Is Looming
Bday Prang replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
As long as they have a white coat and a face mask any body can be an expert ! People may not want these predictions but they are getting them daily..The media of course loves it as "fear" is the best click bait there is after "sex " Now I'm speaking as a non expert when I say that.....I dont think the human brain , psyche, consciousness or what ever you want to call it. Is designed to be fed bad negative news day in day out there is literally never any good news, and that can't be good for anybody. There is no need for anymore gloom and doom predictions from dark places or anywhere else -

Doctor Warns Another Big Covid Wave Is Looming
Bday Prang replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It has always been down to people to make their own choices except perhaps for children who didn't have much say in weather they were jabbed or not This is not actually written as" responsible health advice" i Nearly every day for the last 2 years somebody (always an expert) crawls out of the woodwork and makes another doom and gloom prediction, the gloomier the better, remember the UK expert that predicted up to 10,000 deaths a day when omicron first emerged despite being advised otherwise by the South African doctors , (who were actually laughing at them) . Its almost like a game amongst the "expert" "community" to see who can come up with the most scary and horrendous scenarios and its a game they can't lose because non of them ever get called out when their predictions fail to come true This is nothing more than another, all be it z list, "expert" maintaining and honing his media profile and promoting his presence, amongst his peers and probably getting a few of the all important "likes" on his facebook page! If he is so sure that another potentially possibly, deadly wave might be coming surely he would serve the sick better by putting his mobile phone away , and attending to sick people like what doctors should do., instead of posting scaremongering rubbish on facebook -
Saving is the new buzzword as prices rise in Thailand
Bday Prang replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
surely there is no real reason to actually "save" during inflation that would not be to your advantage as interest rates for savers would never be equal to true inflation rates, so your savings steadily depreciate over time ,I think he should have written "economising" Not sure how true it is but a woman at the local market tels me leccy is due to go up by 5 bt per unit soon if its true that's a hell of an increase and everything else will soon go up too Any one surviving off a frozen pension will soon be struggling (unless its a very large pension) -

"Prepare for your demise"!!! what on earth is wrong with you people, are you really so terrified . my god your life must be a whole load of fun, Have you prepared for your own demise? what did that entail? I'd love to know As for people who analyse "figures", they can all manipulate those figures to suit their own agenda People are dying every day for all sorts of reasons -

So another "expert" looking for his 15 minutes of facebook "fame" flaps his wings and the usual TVF panic mongers come out in sympathy, they really are milking this for all its worth. In the UK for example, 40% of government employees are still "working from home" apparently due to fear of covid meanwhile the rest of society carries on I think I'd rather be an "ignorant" burying my head in the sand than a scaremonger who feels the need to echo every doom and gloom prediction. why do they do that, ? Is its a way of trying to justify their own fear ? "Wreaking havoc and death all over the world" can get much more melodramatic than that, didn't you post a similar comment about cannabis?- 92 replies
