It's you that obviously doesn't comprehend what others are saying and only believe your own gibberish. Other people do have knowledge on the subject, as much and more then you, but other people understand the main thing that makes accidents happen. People.

Again, for too many times to count, I DO understand the difference between scientific evidence and personal observation. What you don't understand is that it's people that make the evidence and the data on accidents. People just like me and everyone on this forum. You're too dense to understand maybe we know as much as they do. You're thinking is that because someone goes to school,for a particular subject, they automatically know more than one who reads up and researches on the same subject as a passion. What you're still missing is the real reason accidents happen. Human error, period. A good driver can drive on a wet, potholed road in the dark and never have an accident. A bad driver can drive on a straight highway in clear dry weather, with no one around him, and get into an accident. Who do you think makes up the stats, data and makes them facts? People. Just like me, and others here on the forum, not including you because you're too close minded to understand this simple logic.

What makes others a drunk fortune teller and those who collect data right? What I, and others here have been saying, is that we haven't seen five bad drivers in a day but many. Do you remember when I said I counted 37 infractions in a 30 kilo drive, in the country, on the way to the nearest big city? 37 infractions that any cop in America would have pulled his ticket book out for. NO ONE'S said the whole population suffers from incompetency in driving. We have said many do, many more than we've seen in our own countries. This is what you seem to miss. Stats have shown this is a dangerous country to drive in, and we've known this for decades, and nothing's changed. You're calling others small minded when it's you that suffers from that malady. It is the driver first that is responsible for how they drive. Tests are given, roads are maintained, weather fluctuates, police don't enforce like they should. It still boils down to who's responsible first for accidents, and that's the driver. The attitude here, which you seem to dismiss, is that they think they can drive anyway they want because what will happen, will happen anyway. No thinking of taking precautions, just letting it fly. I think you need to leave your house once in awhile, because you can't see the forest for the trees.

You are reading what I post but seem to miss what I say. Either you lack comprehension skills or are such a narcissist that you can only argue with others because it's your nature. I know exactly how traffic accidents happen. I know all about data, as well as probably most others here, and we've known since we first took our tests in high school. I'm thinking you must come from a third world country that didn't have the data available for you, so you only learned this later in life. Those of us learned it as teenagers, with driving instruction from either our parents or professionals, and in classes that we took that were comprehensive, unlike here. AGAIN, and for the last time, we all know all about the data that encompasses accidents and why they happen, and also what could be done to prevent many. STOP REPEATING YOURSELF AND READ BEFORE YOU COMMENT! I DO comprehend all of what's said here. YOU don't. I know what makes a safe vehicle, so don't assume, again, that I don't. You are completely missing my points and I already understood yours before you left puberty. Stop replying because you're like a gnat that just won't go away, but remain annoying because it's what you are. If you don't understand what I'm saying, research what comprehension means and what it takes to achieve it, because skimming only lets you talk,and you're too dense to see there's another side.

I'm a lot smarter than you'll ever realize in your teenage thinking brain. You assume you know anything about me, which shows a lack of restraint, and someone who thinks they're smarter than someone from just a few posts online. But keep on coming back, because it continues to show just how close minded and ignorant a person can be.

Assuming you have more experience and knowledge than I is again, assuming, and it doesn't work here.

I don't assume, but you surely do.I ignore nothing, yet you again, assume what other know. It is the driver first, and especially if they have a license, which means they should know the laws about driving. Many in accidents here are in safe vehicles, but they're driving isn't safe. many are in accidents on straight highways, with safe vehicles, licenses, no one cutting them off, clear weather conditions. That means it's their fault first when they get into an accident, something you are still missing, and probably will never get, and you'll come back yet again, spouting things I knew long before you probably ever did.

You keep coming back with the same things, some of which I agreed with, but you seem to miss that. You can keep on quoting till the cows come home but still aren't realizing, whatever you know, most of us here, including myself, already know. You're still dismissing what observation means. People see things, it's data to them, no matter if they're a homeless man who watches traffic pass daily from one spot, or professionals who are paid to gather such data. It's still stats, facts, data, observations.I do know how much I do know, and It's a lot more than you'll ever realize, and from your replies, you're a person who assumes a lot, which is not a sign of intelligence.

People will have indiscriminate sex no matter what others say or do, but handing out condoms reduces the amount of children born into single parent families, families without father's involvement, children born into poverty, and children raised by grandparents because the "parents" felt the need to go elsewhere after the baby was born.

Why, are you short of cash?

Along with the cars, trucks, TV's, phones, tablets, computers,scooters, motorcycles, buses, road equipment, tractors and other farm vehicles, washing machines, dryers, food, music, clothing, military vehicles and planes, guns, and lawmaking. Technology on electronics, road repairs, building, medical sciences.

"Many foreign visitors, accustomed to strict pedestrian rights-of-way in their own countries, step into Pattaya traffic expecting vehicles to stop. However, in Pattaya, pedestrian priority is rarely acknowledged at crossing points, leading to potentially dangerous misunderstandings."............. Yes, do they actually think we can compete with vehicles? It's being strict that saves lives. It's letting vehicles have the right of way, especially in parking lots and pedestrian crossings, that kills others. How many more need to be mowed down before they realize life is precious?

Would you prefer this?.......

Usual satanic ritual?

Generally safe unless there is a neck or spinal injury, which takes some knowledge, or they aren't breathing and need immediate CPR from cardiac arrest. Also if something is lodged in their throat.

I'm sure everyone knows what the definition of milk is as expats.............Yes, almond, soy, and oat drinks can be called "milk", but they are not the same as cow's milk. The FDA allows these drinks to use the term "milk" in their names, but they should clearly indicate their nutritional differences from cow's milk.

Almost weekly monks are in the news here, doing illegal and inappropriate things. They're still people, and many come from shady backgrounds, but if this was a legitimate monk, enjoying the sunset and shopping with possible relatives isn't wrong. Monks can speak different languages than Thai.

They were popular soon after they came out all over the US. Americans are very much into Canadian music, as Rush,April Wine, Triumph, BTO, Loverboy, Guess Who, Steppenwolf, Helix, Mahogany Rush, Red Rider, The Kings and many others can attest. Of course that might have been sarcasm on your part.

My friend said the same thing. Children here aren't left behind so go into the next year with some way behind in their studies. This means they'll never catch up and go into the world with very little options besides working on a farm or 7-11. Destined to make 200--500 baht a day for the rest of their lives.

Another funny but sad thing is that there was a student that sometimes came to his school and lived with his English speaking UK dad along with his Thai mom. He was 19 and couldn't speak English, which means his regular school failed him and his dad probably rarely talked to him, leaving his education up to his mom and a Thai school.

I have a Thai friend who runs an English school near me. He was taught in the US and came back and opened the school. He asked me to talk to some of his students because I'm a native English speaker with no accent, which is the easiest way for the students to learn proper English. He hires other English speakers from a few countries to teach his students, but he wants them to only speak English while they are there, which is a good idea as the students need to work harder to learn, and it has shown in his students as many speak English very well. Thai students are supposed to have English taught in their schools but it's very poor. My daughter who is 8 speaks better English than her English teacher and I'm the only one she learns from as her mom is too dense and non caring to try and help her with her English so she has it easier when we move to the US. The school owner knows all about other schools as he visits many of them throughout the calendar year all over this area, and sometimes to other provinces to give 2-3 day seminars, where his teachers go and have classes throughout the time they are there to help them in a kind of crash course. I went with them a number of times and in all ages and you can see that some children can speak pretty well and some almost nothing, which shows some children want to learn and some couldn't give a dam. Thailand should push for easier ways for English teachers to teach so they could help the children, which gives them a better chance for a higher paying job. The Thai teachers here, at least the ones I've seen or heard about, aren't too swift as English teachers, sometimes just handing out papers for the children to copy. They can write many words but don't know what they mean so it's useless.

How many times does someone have to reply like this until people understand that the name has nothing to do with where you live or are born?

It isn't the police's job to round up animals. It's the animal control's job, and they could be helped by upping the spay/neuter programs, funded by the government, who would be helping everyone, including themselves. Most of the animals in this country are in country areas, which means they roam free, including the one's owned by people. Leash laws would be good, but many people ignore pets once they reach adult stage here, so they are allowed to roam and make more animals.

Use your phone for talking and messaging and your camera, which has a much better lens and zoom abilities, accessory possibilities, settings and low light capabilities. Of this I'm sure you would already know, as a phone camera is an extra for the phone, and the lens is much cheaper.You can still get film for your camera, like my Minoltas, but a good digital camera is still the best bet.

Hurting animals intentionally is anti social behavior that usually leads to hurting humans. One anti social behavior is a correlation to others. Any police that doesn't enforce the laws is a useless entity. That the government isn't doing much to enforce their own laws shows a lack of concern for it's citizens and should be revamped with those who will.
