    The world needs farmers, delivery drivers and shop assistants, more than it needs people with degrees.

    A farmer/driver/shop person with a degree won't ever be happy or satisfied with their place in life.

    Not to mention the school loan they will be expected to repay.

    The world needs farmers, delivery drivers and shop assistants

     

    The world needs agriculural land. The rest will be done by machines.

    Drivers, we soon will be in the situation that this will be done by drones and self driving vehicles

    Shop assistance.....why? more and more will be on line. Then you only need a few people to pack the items

    Pointless education is what has destroyed the west.

    To implement the same system here, would just repeat the mistake.

    I'm always amazed more foreigners don't understand that.

     

    If you educate every child, most will just be dissatisfied with their life and prospects.

    And if you dont educate them they will even be more bored with their lives and try to find their "luck" in things that will let them fall of the cliff.

    The western world is a failing civilisation.

    To keep repeating 'the western way is best' is madness.

    An endless cycle of greed and selfishness is not what the world needs.

     

    In the west

    Children abandon their parents and grandparents.

    Women no longer want their men.

    Housing is too expensive for most.

    Work is outsourced to other countries.

    To keep repeating 'the western way is best' is madness.

    This is absolutely not what im doing. What you mentioned were the reasons for me to leave Europe. But that doesnt mean that orther sides of the world are all perfect. And i mentioned what i see as wrong over here. Kids should have a fair chance to build up a solid future without being premature sucked dry by the family

    A lot ofThai men don't care about their children.

    Bum bum and off you go.

     

    The burden is on the young mothers.

    In order to support their child/ren, they often most go to bigger cities to earn some money to support child and parents.

    No legal requirements for men to support their children.

     

    For this, many thai women are keen to get a farang.

    Completely agree. It seems that the most of the Thai man have a lack of responsebility. And i think that the whole system of childeren have to support the family is a wrong approuch. Give childeren the chance to have a good education (i know, in some cases difficult) and make sure they have a chance to build up a solid financial situation before they have to help the family. I have seen many cases that the parents had enough money to pay the bills and have propper food but still expected money from the kids. Whilest the kids had problems to keep their heads above the water.

    It's time for the stick approach now. The carrot approach and explanations as to why people need to be vaccinated has run it's course. All those people are now vaccinated. The remaining recalcitrants need the proverbial stick applied applied to their nether regions to bring them into line with what the community expects of them. If they still choose not to be vaccinated it's absolutely time for ostracism. No access to any public areas including gyms, cinemas, shopping centres, condominiums. They can live like lepers outside the city areas and buy their food at designated roadside stalls. No further extensions to any type of visa's to the unvaccinated needs to be implemented ASAP.  

    Let them first develop a vaccin that realy works for the longer term and not the stuff they have now that losing the biggest part of its protection after 4 months and make me have a jab every 6 months. i dont want to have that much (partly) unknown stuff in my body.

    Fingers crossed the reopening will be sooner than currently published, it must have been a big kick in the goolies for bar owners, restaurants & customers alike when they hit us with the mid  January date.

    a few bar owners i know in CM hope the bars stay closed. They dont have to pay rent now but if the gouvernment decided to give the green light the meter will be running again. But no tourist to bring in the money.
