My, aren't you clever! Well done Sherlock!

Well I'm not the one who had to refer to an online dictionary in order to define "proactive"   its elementary  Watson

If you were the cop boss, how would you have handled this?

Handled what? the knife gang ? find them arrest them and bring them before the courts

Or were you referring to the grammar pedant arguing the toss about the definition of proactive?  in his case I think an official warning would be in order, followed by deportation of course

Personally I think a 10pm curfew for under 18's should be the norm

So what is professional about smiling and holding. samurai sword?

Another one who appears to be unable to read what has been written in plain english  Firstly I didn't say they were professional I said they were expected to be professional when carrying out their duties.  read it again

From "Vocabulary.com":-

 

Active means "doing something." The prefix pro- means "before." So if you are proactive, you are ready before something happens. The opposite is being reactive, or waiting for things to unfold before responding. 

 

"Don't know what the word means"? Correct!

 

In this respect then  the curfew was not a proactive measure as it was implemented after the events took place, so it was in fact a reactive measure.

Although it could be considered proactive in so much that they sought to prevent any recurrence.

No internet vocabulary guide required

Anyone notice the resemblance of the cop on the right to Big Joke?

At first glance I actually thought it was him

So why is the cop on the left looking so happy? "Oh, look, I've got 2 big ones!"?

He is not carrying out his law enforcement duties, he is posing for a photo opportunity.

No, you're wrong. Any diesel SUV is bothersome to people in range of the fumes - they are filthy and disgusting.

They are neither filthy or disgusting in my opinion

The short answer is: YES.
However, if you buy an electric car, it might be okay to leave the engine running for cooling air.

would it be best to leave the engine of an electric car running to avoid draining the battery too  ? lol

Everyone's blames here - youth, foreigners gangs - no explanation of verification, jut nape-of-the-neck reaction from the police (who don't seem very upset,BTW). Just a public display of incompetence.

The police are not supposed to get "upset"  They are expected to remain "professional" when carrying out their duties, emotion should not come into it

How do it in your home country?

In many EU countries you would be fined!

But hey, it's Thailand. No rules, no laws? No politeness?

You should not stay here🙏

How things are done in ones own country are of course irrelevant, likewise the penalties for noncompliance in EU countries.  "But hey"  you got one thing right, this is indeed Thailand, They do indeed have their own laws, and those are the only  laws one needs to concern oneself  with.

It is not you who dictates who should or should not stay here,

When you get home leave your car running in the drive and get a nice comfy lawn chair and sit it about 2 meters from the back of your truck... Have a nice sit for about 20 minutes and ponder your initial question...

 

Btw... Don't try this in a closed garage as it could kill you... 

Considering modern diesels are all fitted with catalytic converters it could be a very very slow death

Don't be such an arrogant ignorant a-hole.

The guy was merely asking for advice, is that your usual reply to a polite question .  Or just the one you use when you don't know the answer but would like to indulge in a bit of virtue signalling?  Apparently  a self appointed D.I.Y. "expert"    perhaps you should limit your replies to questions relating to that subject.

If you put on a dress and a pair of high heels, what would we call you?

A bloke in a frock and high heels,  what else?   Clothing does not alter ones gender , only ones appearance. It really is as simple as that

Are you seriously saying that you would call a bloke in a dress a woman?

This is many light years away and like all long term decisions made in Thailand most of us be will long gone when this happens 

Live your live and don't worry 😉 be happy 

Sorry to have to inform you , but a light year is a measure of distance not a measure of time,

plenty of so called experts have had to retract their doom and gloom predictions on climate change and especially the misinformation about places being underwater in the future. Even the "great doomberg" has had to swallow her words.   Yet the climate change disciples continue to attempt to spread fear

Please, explain the resemblance to this thread. Were they at war?

didn't really think it would be necessary but , just for you....  Grown men fight , always have and always will, they will fight for a variety reasons its human nature, To label them as babies is incorrect, babies do not fight, and are not capable of doing so.    To protect ones self, ones family , or ones possessions would be considered a justifiable reason for fighting by most people and for some  protecting or preserving ones honour would also be considered a good enough reason. Add some alcohol and some will always  find  a reason.    In my opinion any of the above are more valid to most than fighting under the orders of a military commander due to a hostile situation created by politicians

Your simplistic and inaccurate  labelling of people fighting as babies, was nothing more than an attempt to present yourself as in someway superior

The majority of heroin addicts die a lot younger than they otherwise would have lived - and that includes prescriptions opioids. Sure some get clean and are 'saved' but a lot die early - both from complications sue to extended usage and also overdoses.  Plus they have a seriously high rate of 'self-harm' and they commit an extremely high rate of crime (to pay for them). 

as I said then, death is not a forgone conclusion.  Death from prescription opiates might also have something to do with the condition they were prescribed for.     Shoplifting and the other petty crime they get involved with are rarely fatal either.  Most die from overdoses (due to the wildly varying quality) or from contaminants used to dilute the drug,  both of which are a direct consequence of the drugs illegal status. 

Many more would die from alcohol  for similar reasons if it was made illegal

Heroin kills! Persons who trade it are trading in people's misery. Now this woman who would have been better jailed for life is trying to make money from her misdeeds.

Heroin can kill,but  its certainly not a forgone conclusion
