Do you realize, no matter the outcome on his behalf, that he was kicked in the head by a disturbed, violent local, who obviously doesn't care for or respect life to risk someone's life, most knowing it doesn't take much to cause brain damage or death by doing this? And calling brits morons when you are one shows why you left the country, and brings to light what your agenda is.

Check the comments, instead of skimming, like all narcissists do, to hope for fault when there is none, and never take responsibility when proven wrong.

He always sticks up for locals, meaning he is one, or he gets the brown noser of the year award.

Meter was okay, they saw error on units, corrected it, bill lowered 215 baht

We all sure just did

I just posted a picture and added your reply, then mine.. I explained what I did, no intention to do otherwise and I know they understand. If you don't understand that I was telling you, along with others, that you're being blase where a persons safety is concerned, something I don't do, as everyone can see from my posts. Kicking someone in the head and you thinking it's not an intention to kill makes me think you could care less, or maybe you think it was okay to do and isn't no big thing? Your words......lol @ attempted murder !

I just added to it, adding the picture to explain what you said to another, "Where's your proof of intent to kill?" was missing something. I added, "This appears to be an intent to cause major damage or to kill,unless of course he was going for a field goal". I see this picture as someone trying to maim or kill, seeing he was winding up before he kicked his head, which can kill very easily.

At the top of the picture..............Where is your proof of intent to kiil ? This appears to be an intent to cause major damage or to kill, unless of course he was going for a field goal. Your quote and my reply. The words might not have gone through on your side, because it was also from a quote

Look again

I don't see the lack of good education as necessarily a bad thing. Millions of people live in poverty , being farmers and the like, and they aren't bad people because of this. We need farmers so we can eat, and if that's all they know, I'm all for it. I don' want my daughter to be a farmer,,and moving to the US will give her an excellent chance of having a great future, because I can get her into good schools and then college. Having the people here get more pay through more democracy would help them yes. Better schools and teachers will help them also, as will having them learn more English, which gives them more chances for a better paying job. As far as disciplining their children, this is something that needs to change because generations have passed down corporal punishment that is even still seen in some schools, although it's not allowed. If you are raised thinking whipping your kids to discipline them is normal, that's all you know, until proven otherwise. It's abuse no matter where it happens, and too easy to use. The alternative is actually talking to your kids and teaching them restraint, respect for authority without bowing down to it, respect for elders, and animals. I won't tolerate anyone hitting my child, especially seeing I don't myself, and if anyone does, they're going down hard. I don't see any big changes in this country until some are taken out and better ones put in, which could take decades to happen. Some are trying, and good for them.

A kick to the head, especially the temple area, can cause brain damage or death very easily. It doesn't have to be excessively hard either. This is why we see so many die daily on the roads here, wearing no head protection. My ex's brother was involved in a scooter accident years ago, wearing no helmet. He was lucky enough to survive, but all he does now is walk around, a little unstable and he falls frequently, and collect firewood and such for grandma. He makes loud, strange noises you can hear 100 yards away, and talks sometimes, but that's his life. Someone winding up and looking to kick someone in the head while lying down, like this maniac is, is looking to maim and or kill.

If you don't know, you're too far gone to try and explain it to you. But, look back at where it originated and your replies, and you might understand why others are looking at you with disdain.

This is reason one why people say never go swimming alone. Anything can happen, from a heart attack to slipping and hitting your head then falling in. Sadly, he was a veteran swimmer, which emphasizes that swimming alone is never safe.

People have but a few choices to vote in a president, and history has proven the choices could have been better, just like here, with the exception being that here those who are voted in, aren't in. I think you're forgetting one important point. There are no true Americans. Everyone has relatives that are from somewhere else, meaning your native country too. As far as 70,000,000 being "mental??? What exactly does that mean, because the US is more advanced in many ways than all other countries, with those Americans again being from everywhere else, at least as far as their ancestry is concerned?. I've known thousands of people, and the only ones I would consider as "mental" are two of my ex wives and a few ex girlfriends, along with a select few other acquaintances. The rest are regular, garden variety "normal" people. How would you know who is mental if you've never met any Americans besides maybe a few here? Remember, you can't go by others opinions, because they mean nothing, and videos only show a tad of what goes on there, and are usually posted because they are outrageous or show violence, because people thrive on both things.

The only way you can see what a country has to offer is to spend time there. Listening to videos or word of mouth is just a tiny representation of what another country has to offer. Even visiting yearly for a couple of weeks only scratches the surface. The US has everything any place on earth has, and every food on earth. As far as Thais liking western food, the main reason the obesity rate climbed from very little to almost 48% of overweight and obesity is western food and sugar laden drinks.

I was referring to those mature enough to have sex. Kids can grow up in a gay household and still be heterosexual by choice. Pedophiles are those that force sex on children, it not being their choice but a coercion by someone who manipulates their immaturity into their sick acts.

Yes, but the fine for carrying is 100 baht, hardly a deterrent to those looking to hurt someone. Both countries allow up to a 3 inch folding blade. Machetes are carried here by millions, and I don't think the police would do anything about it. You carry a machete in the UK, it can mean jail time. This is the law about machetes in the UK............https://www.bsbsolicitors.co.uk/blog/government-bans-machetes-and-zombie-knives/

No, living in the US has nowhere near the problems encountered here. Many years behind the US in many ways. Yes, if you live near the beach areas, and love that, living there might be okay, especially if you rent and date. Living in the country is about as boring as life can be, unless you're okay with watching the grass grow or drinking to pass the time.

True, and the one thing that happens here that boys don't get away with in the US, among other countries, is child support isn't enforced with penalties for those that don't pay. I don't see much in the way of good discipline but just hitting the kids when they are unruly, often with sticks.

That's true, but all of that is thrown out the window when a man has to choose between paying something or just finding someone else that isn't greedy. Falling in love with someone makes one lose sense.

One thing Thais do, is look at western countries for advice on most anything, including electronics, mechanical training, roads and how to maintain them. Music is copied, listened to and loved, foods from other countries are also loved by millions here daily. Medical training and ideas, and many other things that are copied by locals because they are done better in other countries. Very few things originated here and have origins in many other countries. This isn't an excuse to try and tell locals how to live but since we are used to better ways in almost every facet of life, we would like to see those things done here, because to put it plainly, there is a right way and a wrong way of doing things, and that means anywhere. They look at us for trade, as do all other countries, because each country has things that are better there than other places, and worldwide people take advantage of that, because some places just do things better. The problem arises when locals look at us just for what we can give them, and greed doesn't help anyone but those who benefit by it. When Thais go to the US, they fit in, because the US isn't a country of one race but all races. When we come here, we are outsiders, and that will stay until those with outdated , prejudiced thinking are let go and people are voted in that look at us as equals that belong here, because we are spending most or all of our money here, and taking care of many of their women and children.

It's not that it wouldn't work, but that here they really don't care to go the extra mile.

I have nothing against people arming themselves to repel predators. Arming yourself with the intent to maim or kill someone you're pissed off at isn't the same. Neither is arming yourself because you're too cowardly to fight fairly.
