Agree with your Statements completely Walker.  However, some kids want to cry over spilled milk when it happens, instead of just getting the rags out and cleaning it up, then going forward like our generation has done.  This generation just wants it handed to them on a silver plate, and some have been lucky to find a product to become rich (Bitcoin etc...) instead of busting there backsides putting in 50 hours a week and more in order to raise a family and save for the future while still working 40 or so years until retirement.  I was lucky to retire after 36 years, but not after having taken bullets from downrange, and having dirt bags trying to kill me while trying to protect the rights of these whining sniveling snowflakes....@mr mr

hahaha 

 can't wait until we don't have to hear this kind of thing anymore. did you also walk 10 miles uphill to school in 6 feet of snow ? 

just because you worked your life away doesn't mean others have to follow the same way. what is the saying work smart not hard ?

we all chose what we do with our time on this planet. you chose to serve and spend most of your free time working. good for you. i am happy it worked out for you. 

let's try to ease off the name calling and talk about these things as adults ?

So what's your problem with rich companies? Distribution of wealth? To whom? We're all self motivated; human nature. If we weren't, you'd have worked 30 more years and given your money to the poor instead of hoarding your earnings and retiring early.

good you know my story then eh ? 

i got lucky on 2 deals that set me up. that's it. bought a house at the right time in the right location. then took a huge gamble after that which paid off.

Thailand or the "Thai Government" / "Immigration"?  I like the Thai people.  Best not to confuse the two. 

when did thailand start to outsource the government and immigration work to foreign workers ?

Why ?

the average thai probably barely makes that in a year.

Everybody made, and will make, a mess of things during their time. Nothing new under the sun.

 

Of course, I am always reminded of the great Oscar Wilde:

 

"I'm not young enough to know everything".

 

Your generation, plus those above and below you, will make a mess of things. The job of upcoming generations is to point that out, then get their comeuppance as they screw up, too.

 

When you admit you're human, you'll understand.

most of my life all i did was make mistakes. did a few things right too but more mistakes by far. 

heck. scroll back and read some of my comments.

So you worked 20 years post-grad and you're complaining about the generation that put in 50. Retired already? Sounds like you're the one hoarding all the money.

i am not complaining about them putting in 50. i am pointing out the mess they made doing during that time. 

i have managed to save enough from work and investing to have a simple life. spare me with that. the top 100 companies on earth have more money than god.

Man, the world has seriously changed hasn't it, and this is in a country now reporting single digit or zero daily cases, that's cases not deaths.

 

This is all just freaking me out now and finding it really hard to see any positives anywhere. It's also clear that gov's are now using this situation to gain more control over people. Awful, awful times. 

may i offer a soothing melody to help you through this.

remember the bus scene at the end of swordfish ? the speech from travolta to wolverine. 

i guess the more popular you are on this site the increase in freedom of posting goes with it. seems cheap shots are allowed based on this.

So we all must think like you for it to be OK.....Gawd......????

 

Oil workers are just ONE employment category of many where folk work away, and for many reasons. As for your military, seems they must take notice of you too.....???? 

 

 

didn't tell anyone to think like me champ. keep up the good work.

Total nonsense, so what is your opinion of farang military chaps that spend time away, do they all do it for the money.....?

You are 43 and retired, so you claim, with an "I'm all right jack" attitude...????

ya ? 

i spent a year separated from my wife and son. so anyone crying here after a couple months come back after a year and we will talk. 

i was specifically talking about oil workers for the most part. as for military guys. they know full well the structure of their life being in the military before starting a family.

Its an okay salary for Thailand but certainly not "bank".

run that sentiment by an average thai and get back to me.

So what, sod all to do with the thread, no about your wallet thoughts....????

wrong. 

people made choices to leave for work (the ones we are talking about anyways). the money that work provides is the reason they do the job no ?

Not what I would call making "HUGE BANK".

 

Think I'll stick to my land based job that pays more and allows me to be with my family every day.
