Seven had a machete, 27 had AR-15's, 12 with crossbows, one a meat cleaver, 27 knives, 2 samurai swords, 12 compound bows, 11 were after female deer to breed, and one came at me with intent.

I shot 100 deer, so that theory is kaput.

Maybe he is a very good shot and hit the arm holding the knife? Something many policemen should learn to do.............."to neutralise the threat without intending fatal harm."

I don't think many think about complications when getting a tattoo, besides the possibility of a dirty needle in some shops. I wish they didn't do it, but they all have multiple tats. Freedom of expression I guess. My dad had one he got during his tenor in the Army, which I understand is peer pressure also.

Maybe that's your experience here as paying for the girls gives you sex no matter if they have tats or not. In the US, women aren't as willing, even when they have tats. A good pain threshold? Does that mean it's okay to inflict pain during sex?

And again, my dad was extremely intelligent and he smoked 3 packs a day for over 60 years until they did him in at 79. It's an addiction, and many who get addicted are very intelligent people who made bad choices, much based on peer pressure when young.

Judging anyone besides on their actual intelligence from tattoos doesn't work, as it has no bearing on anything. I'm the only one in my family besides my mom that doesn't have a tattoo and all my children have well above average IQ's, and my dad, who also had a tattoo, had a genius level IQ, so that theory doesn't fly. Some of my friends also have tats and I've known them as very intelligent people for many years. I don't like seeing them in women, especially my daughters, but that's their choice,and people have reasons they get them, although I'm sure they might regret it later.

Where women and men have independence, meaning a decent paycheck, as in the US, women will go with men they're attracted to. Those dancers have good looking boyfriends because they fit together, and what makes them losers? As long as they're treating those women well, they deserve what they get from them. If you go looking for women in a normal atmosphere and not in a strip club, where the women see the customers as sleaze, you'll find a completely different scenario for dating. Women like men they're attracted to first, and then look to them as maybe a future provider and father for kids. This of course subtracts the gold diggers, who will go with anyone who has assets. Here in Thailand, the women definitely prefer their own kind, at least until they are close to 30 or older. That's when they've had their share of losers and those who are only there to have sex, then leave, especially if children are born. This is when they look for foreigners as a more stable, better paid choice that will more likely stay after sex. Of course this is the expats that live here and not tourists, as Thai women all hear through the grapevine how tourists are, and most aren't worth their time because they are butterflies. Women , no matter how smart, many times aren't that smart about men and how they are. They fall for bull<deleted> time after time, hoping the next one will stay, and when they don't, their trust level decreases until many think all men are trash, not realizing they just made bad choices. This is why you see so many hot women with men who don't fit them. Thai men know how to play their women, especially the younger ones. If you stay away from strip clubs, you might not think you and others are all at some level of loserdom. Going there doesn't make you a loser. They're there for a reason, and for certain types of people.

Again, I'm seeing you maybe don't realize just how many people have criminal records, some perhaps in your own family, and certainly in your circle of friends, although you might have never known this. And you may have missed when I said, you buying women here in some cases might be against the law, but since you haven't been arrested , yet, you don't have that criminal record. You only have control over your own life, and can't decide what happens to anyone on this earth. You might want to change your screen name to Mr. Rogers.

They do read comments here. There are locals that understand and read English, and they can tell others. Also easy to translate anything. Negative comments make nothing go better. The opposite is true, and it also has some bolster their prejudice against certain nationalities, as anyone can see every day here. Lots of things influence others, especially those who are weak to begin with. The KKK gets new recruits very year because someone convinced them they need to follow them. Don't assume because that also keeps you closed minded. Some people tell things exactly how they are and it's not bashing if it's true experiences. That does mean you don't lump all into one category, which is what I've been talking about all along. Again, it's best just to say nothing.

Deport them back to grandma.

Nothing wrong with seeing people as they are, but negative comments here never look good for all foreigners. Remember there are many locals who are already prejudiced against any foreigners. Adding fuel to any fire doesn't make things go well.

"Authorities noted that electrical wiring from a nearby chicken farm, approximately 300 metres away, appeared to be connected to supply the house"........................................Seems a lot of electrical work here ends up with these and other results. One thing they should copy from the west ,along with other things they already do.

Trump has a huge ego, and besides his limited vocabulary, comes across to some as intelligent. He got his start with help from his dad, and other friends who gave him advice. This makes him in the eyes of some a good businessman. It shows but again, he has help. Does this automatically make him a good president? Of course not. People originally voted for him because of his business sense, thinking he could negotiate with other countries. This he did, along with every other president we've had. Others also voted because he helped them in some way, but will he help the common man, and give us free health care so people who can't afford it can be treated, just as they are in Canada and other countries? He's already a billionaire, and he wanted to be God, but what he really is is pretty far away from that. Like all other presidents, he made promises and did do some good, along with some bad and some stupid things. As a person, he's a very strange narcissist, misogynist and racist. These are well known things. Also an immoral person, like a few other presidents we've had. We have had a few criminals also, but he's the top dog as far as this is concerned. People would love America to be a moral, safe place to live, so they look for the president to be a moral family man they can relate to. Trump isn't this, but can he be a good leader this time? We might find out, although I think Harris will win, because people do need a change and not more of the same. Trump is rated in the top 3 as far as the list of worse presidents we've had, and this isn't all Democrats speaking but a lot, like me, who aren't that political and just see him for what he really is. This comes from a psychologists point of view. Funny I don't see trump listed...............https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2000/08/presidents

Comments can be either way, but negative, especially coming from other foreigners, tells locals, "If they can bad mouth each other, they must not think highly of other foreigners, which lumps us together, as you know many prejudiced people do. Best not to comment at all. Let them make up their own minds.

I'm sure, like myself, he meant open borders as in policies. The US does not allow anyone in besides what he and I mentioned. Open borders themselves is how thousands get in every year, and there is no way to stop all of them, as no wall can't be gotten past, under or around. Again, if those hiring them would be punished, it would curtail the amount coming in. No jobs, no reason to come in besides working illegally in homes. I fully understand people wanting to work in the US, but do it legally. Many jobs they take Americans won't do, which is also absurd because some are unemployed and could use any work.

I'd like to see where she said this, as no one supports open borders but allowing certain ones to come in, like spouses of those already here. Open border means everyone can come in un documented, but as has been seen, illegals are sent back everyday. When I lived in Texas, and hunted south Texas, I would see then many times crossing ranches and roads heading north, and would also see many in buses heading back, as well as knew a few border patrol agents i sold guns to, who told their stories.

Who's to say they were working when thousands were still coming in daily?

I think you're misunderstanding some things. The amount of people has increased because of more conflict in the lower countries...................https://www.thenation.com/article/world/biden-mexico-border-detention/

Making negative comments about foreigners, coming from other foreigners, shows the locals if they can talk bad about themselves, they must all be pretty bad, because they figure we would show restraint. When someone does something wrong, and not to you, it's the policeman's job, not yours. Of course shady foreigners make others look bad, but pointing it out isn't your deal. You buy women, which in some ways is against the law, so that could make you a criminal also, depending on the circumstances.

The main problem is US citizens, meaning rich citizens, hiring these laborers. You punish them severely, the amount of illegals slows down. People have been sneaking in daily for decades, and there's no way to estimate exactly how many are coming in. Population increases daily, which means more are coming in from other countries to find work, or to escape violence in their countries. Covid slowed down quite a few during Trumps tenor, but millions still came in, and his wall didn't do much to slow them down. Biden wanted to allow spouses of those already here a chance to stay.Can't blame Biden or Harris, as other presidents have been enduring this for as long as I've lived.

If you've had children, and especially sons, you know exactly what you're getting into.You treat the mom right, and you'll never have a problem with the sons.

And more here, as Thailand has a higher intentional homicide rate than the US.
