  1. You do realise where you are right? "social work in a Kindergarten" "Education in pedagogy"
  2. or another way of looking at things Those who can , do Those who can't , teach Those who can't teach , teach P.E. ( or EFL)
  3. Absolutely correct, I'm not suggesting children should be punched in the face with a closed fist, but there are situations where corporal punishment has its place. Like you when I was at school a clip round the ear was not uncommon, or a rap on the knuckles, and there was always the ultimate deterrent of the cane. All of which would be repeated by our parents if they found out. Neither I nor anybody I know suffered the "serious psychological problems" that the liberal progressives love to refer too, neither did any of us resort to unprovoked attacks on other kids the moment we got out of school. These woke lefties would do well to take a walk through any UK council estate, and pretty much anywhere else for that matter and observe the behaviour of some of the feral kids who now exist, each one of them a product of a lack of effective discipline, there was nothing comparable to these societal problems back in those days, neither did I ever hear of a kid attacking a teacher, or a teacher actually being scared of some of the kids in their class. The old adage of spare the rod spoil the child served us well for centuries, the new progressive ways have not been as effective
  4. He probably brought an ugly one with him, to prove he is also capable of finding one of those in is own country. (Unlike the rest of us)
  5. You obviously, and from your comments above, rather arrogantly consider yourself to have more "expert " knowledge than the "layman" I have no Idea where you reach your "educated" theories and conclusions and I see little evidence from you to back them up , whatever they are . There is one glaringly obvious reason for what you consider to be a deplorable road safety record. See my previous post, It is you who are barking up the wrong tree. Its a culture thing, how could an "exspurt" like you not figure that out
  6. Its not racist , nor is it insulting, at least it wasn't intended as such, simply a statement of fact. The Thais are of course, as capable of recognising risk and danger as any other nationality, and when they are motivated, they are not slow or reluctant to take precautions. You don't have to look far for evidence of that, a quick look on google will tell you that around 35,000 people died from or with Covid. That was spread over 2 to 3 years so its clear that considerably less died from Covid during that time than from road accidents. . The government reaction to the threat posed by Covid was pretty much in line with the reactions of governments all over the world. There was little hesitation from the population to wearing masks or taking any other recommended precautionary measures, many of them still wear masks to this day even when on their motorcycles. There was little hesitation in applying peer pressure and criticising those who were hesitant to do so via social media etc. and little hesitation from the police regarding the enforcement of such restrictions. The nation ie the Thais cared, and they reacted appropriately, for two to three years it was pretty much the main topic in the news and probably the main topic of conversation both in real life and on social media. The death toll from traffic accidents is not a national secret, Every single day on TV there are astonishing clips of incidents that defy explanation occuring on the roads, every Thai is well aware of how dangerous the roads are, but it is never the main topic of conversation to the same degree as Covid, Have you ever tried discussing the traffic deaths with Thais ? I have , and the normal response is a shrug of the shoulders There is, generally little enthusiasm for complying with traffic regulations, there is little social stigma attached to being drunk at the wheel, and surprisingly little enthusiasm from the police regarding enforcement of the traffic laws, which is somewhat surprising considering how they can benefit financially from doing so, is it not ? You are looking at the whole situation through the eyes of a westerner. and your perception of the realities is therefore distorted They simply do not care in the same way or to the same degree as you do, they have different priorities, that you and I will never fully understand, They are more concerned about you taking off your shoes before entering the house. Its called cultural difference. To imply that they do care and are just incapable of changing things due to an inherent lack of intellect is far more racist and insulting
  7. I'll go with that , Drive careful, keep your distance , keep your eyes open , expect the unexpected. No point in whining about it on here, The Thais don't care, simple as that, if its too dangerous sell the car, There really is no other option, and little will change in our life time.
  8. Not a great consolation when having stopped safely, 40 tons of sugarcane plows into the rear end of you.
  9. "Cancel culture" the lefties call it, the aim of which is to completely erase people who's views don't align with theirs, You said he should be mocked and laughed at. why not just ignore him , after all he hasn't insulted you personally.
  10. And luckily for you, the owners of this forum , presumably for the purposes of monetization , allow you to insult every other member with your constantly repeated caustic mantra. But as far as the rest of us are concerned you are just an annoying troll. Maybe they just allow you to continue out of pity, realising like the rest of us, that you are consumed with jealousy. Its glaringly obvious what your situation is. You brought sand to the desert pal, you took coal to Newcastle, before realising what was actually available here, and now every morning when you wake up, roll over and open your eyes, you are reminded what an awful mistake you made. Your home grown missus, that for some reason you saw fit to drag here with you, can no doubt see it in your eyes as clear as we can see it in your sad posts. No point in trying to take it out us pal , either get a divorce and upgrade, or disappear back to wherever it is you came from. You are not wanted here, or in your own society which you left to come here
  11. I doubt if the original incident was staged by a competitor, i might be wrong, But for sure there is more to that than meets the eye However imposing a 5 year closure order which is effectively a death sentence for the venue, will make some competitors very happy indeed. Apparently it applies to other establishments "in the region" whatever that means, I can't believe the whole of Khon kaen will be shut down, but revealing the extent of the region concerned, may well give a clue as to who is really behind the closure order. If this had happened in "Tawan Daeng" I doubt the outcome would have been the same, and last time I went to one of those I can't say I noticed anybody checking ID's at all Although I hasten to add that don't suspect that organisation was involved in the shutdown decision
  12. "the extreme right wing" You just had to get that misused phrase in didn't you ? It is you that needs to read a dictionary, and the sooner the better. You cannot keep referring to people who's only crime is to not agree with you, with those words. Well I suppose legally you can , but do you have any idea how ridiculous it makes you appear to normal people, Hopefully the justified scorn and criticism you have received on this thread will put an end to your virtue signalling once and for all. If not do yourself a favour and continue your trolling elsewhere, i suggest a forum where others of your ilk loiter
  13. And anybody who seeks to have him destroyed / cancelled should just go straight to the treatment room, no need to be checked
  14. The people selling stuff obviously get the benefit from the increased prices they charge foreigners, do you think they had it over to the government?
  15. another prime example of somebody who has offended the sensitivities of a few online snowflakes, and now the wokies aided and abetted by mainstream media have decided he must be destroyed,
  16. You mention this with monotonous regularity, What is your reason for this ? I think you have serious issues, are you one of the few who came here and couldn't find a woman, ?
  17. I'm still a bit unsure of the make up of this toxic family, there has been no mention of the mother or father in law , are they still alive? The perpetrator of the unpleasantness seems to be a rather nasty aunt. Perhaps you and your wife could speak to your in laws and explain if this woman continues to make trouble you would have no option but to move away leaving them with nothing ? Divide and rule so to speak, Could you communicate with your father in law man to man, he may well be more reasonable than the nasty bitch.. Many families seem to have an unpleasant mouthy female somewhere in the midst, one bad apple can spoil the rest, she needs dealing with first
  18. Nah they cite it as evidence of institutionalised racism instead, and the only way of ending it apparently is to employ an army of "diversity consultants" many of whom are, astonishingly, paid more than twice as much as the prime minister. The national health service has had its own problems, waiting lists over two years long , being just one symptom of chronic mis management guess what the answer was, yep another army of diversity consultants paid more than consultants and surgeons. There appears to be just too much taxpayers money available at these publicly funded services for the "problems " to ever be allowed to be solved.
  19. blowing money on lottery tickets is woman's work where I live, earning the money is a different matter, apparently
  20. Most women prefer real men , they like to know their place, and feel comfortable in it,
  21. Call me a traditionalist, as I actually think it's refreshing but Yeah I'll remember that next time we get a flat tyre, in the rain, at night, on a busy road
  22. I'm not going to encourage him by quoting him, and we all know who it is, but is the origin of "racism" really the product of a "sick mind" or " "psychopathic behaviour" or "narcissism" or is it a more deeply rooted survival instinct from the past. People rightly or wrongly generally seek the company of others similar to themselves, Invaders from foreign countries often look different, one way or the other, To this day a stranger in a small village will be identified, and may be regarded, initially, at least, with curiosity or suspicion. Just the way somebody speaks , their accent, can have the same effect. Our baser survival instincts may not be as important to our survival as they once were, but they are deeply rooted and for good reason The way a white lab rat, after generations of selective breeding, displays no fear of a cat , is evidence of what can happen when survival instincts are removed Gays supporting Hamas is another
