Defo best practices above. 

That said, my western size Panasonic has run perfectly for over a decade, Thai-style... as an ugly man once said, "We don't need no stinking green wire" 😅😅😅

   No one is outraged , but you would at least expect a news story to have photos of the news story in question , rather than just random photos of something connected to the story .

   Anyone would think that the published  photo is of the children in question .

Like, Biden won the American elections, here's a photo of Trump winning the elections 

You have never worked in the news industry have you. 

I'll give you a task. Go to your favourite news source and do the easier job, count how many images ARE NOT stock photos or credited related images. 

The image used correctly portrayed the problem being written about. It was correctly credited. It is quite possible the the actual pics from social media were not made available to the publisher. 

Why all the fake outrage?

You don't read this forum as much as I then - the 'frequency of such news' comment is based on the amount of news on this forum of Middle Easterners who end injured or dead on motorcycles in areas such as Pattaya and Patong.

 

... My bias has been created by reading this forum and then confirmed when I read further news of such incidents.  Give it a few weeks and we'll read of some Middle Eastern guys racing their rented bikes, they'll most likely be from Kuwait...  Yes, thats my bias, but that bias has not been formed out of thin air... I could be wrong of course, it could be three weeks !... 

 

 

 

 

So your daily input of info is your subjective analysis of subjective information. OK.

Fair enough - in this case my bias did cloud my judgement as its now apparent to me that the deceased lived in Thailand and was not a tourist. 

 

Yet...  my bias exists for a reason... when I read of a Middle Easterner who has died on a motorcycle in Pattaya my thoughts are influenced by the many reports that have gone before of unlicensed Middle Eastern guys, racing / ragging rented bikes through the streets of Pattaya and Patong....  Surely the frequency of such news is not something you've missed before ??

Kinda depends on what your daily input of info is. When I read the story I had no such bias. I live in a fishing/tourist town in the South. Your bias would never have occurred to me. The "frequency of such news" Is virtually nonexistent. 

I'm confused. 

How is it you know what people are reading? I've missed the metrics on that... 

Your problem does not appear to be with "doctors". 

It appears as though you have a problem with reality. 

It is up to you to sift through the nuances of the medical profession. I couldn't care less about them worrying about their professional credentials, just like I wouldn't worry about any other professionals personal concerns.

I find professionals I can work with and leave the bitching and whining to weirdos like you.

Vikings got there first :-)

But after all "strange happenings" on that continent last decade, not sure we want it :-)

 

I think the Inuit people got there a wee bit before "Vikings" were a thing 😂

Sounds like u have 2 phones. Use Google Lens or Translate to read the Chinese text. Then change to English and continue.

Singapore? 

Hmmm, I'm a Canadian who recently helped a Thai buddy renew his U.S.A. passport. Was a simple process online even for two non-americans 😃

Is that what the punks used to do, spit on each other? 

Not just punks...

Obviously, to those who love to obfuscate, spitting n horking out lugies is a thing in Asia. It is obviously, and immediately recognizable for what it is, rather than someone, purposefully spitting at you.

Spit is hard to prove

There are DNA labs in Thailand, in case you were unaware. Proving the spit is a heap-load easier than a punch.

Your obviously a tough guy. What reason would someone have to spit on you?

You didn't grow up in the Clash/ Pistols generation, did you 😂😂😂

You are calling AN a troll factory? That's not going to read well with the mods.

Are you intentionally obtuse, or do you have a reading comprehension issue of some sort? 

It begs the question of how you form cogent opinions when you don't seem to fully grasp the information you are taking in...
