Good Samaritan? 

More like wife's boyfriend...

Who pulls out a sword when they see a stranger man beating a stranger woman? At most they call the police, and highly doubt many would even call the police. Just go keep on going with their lives and pretend nuthin' happened.......

There may two sides but they are not equivalent sides in this case. Here we have a very violent assailant and a victim. I won't say innocent victim because none of us are saints but its clear the victim did not deserve to be viciously attacked. Maybe a playful slap and tickle or a bit of a scolding,  but not getting literally kicked in the head. I realize some of the members here can relate to the thuggery of the accused Thai driver. That's too bad.

Totally agree with what you said, but I also get his point. What that motosai guy did is not any excuse for Thai bashing, and generalizing about Thais. Thai people themselves are quite embarrased and angry about what that motosai did. 

Make that scumbag thug regret his actions, and leave the 99.9999% of nice Thai people out of the bashing.

See the pictures that I attached, translations from comments thai netizens made at a Facebook post in Thai about this incident.

Guys never forget the saying "When one doesn't want to, two can't fight" period. 

Not trying to justify what what the motosai guy did, because that is beyond justifiable, and his actions prove that he is a total scumbag. 

BUT, even if you do come across a scumbag, who is sitting next to you, and you are polite and kind to him, very very rarely will you find that he stands up and kicks you. 

Knowing for a fact that the Chilean dude was drunk, you could only imagine how badly he was running his mouth. Drunk + Running your mouth + Being close to a scumbag thug = Trip to hospital. 

And given that he comes from Chile, which is a rather dangerous country you would think that he has already learned that lesson of behaving even while drunk. Not shifting the blame to him, but definitely worth behaving at all times.

I see many MDs here in TVF....

Don't believe anything they tell you, because doing a diagnosis over the internet can potentially turn out into an absolutely incorrect diagnosis. Go to a doctor and have it checked by him. 

Else you may make a costly assumption that it is something, when it is not.

That is the point I was making!  But there are female pedophiles and quite often couples work together for their mutual sexual satisfaction.  

Let's face the truth. No high school male student (15 to 18 years old) will ever complain if he gets to have sex with a female teacher of his. 

It was my dream back in high school, and not only mine, that of most of my classmates ????

That of course, doesn't excuse what the chad in question here did. Coercing kids which may have the legal age to consent (but definitely not the mental age to understand what's going on) to have sex with him for better marks.....

She got arrested by the DSI early last year in BKK for same issue, but unfortunately it seems that HKT and BKK are not in the same country or at least not on the same system. She tried to get to Germany, but was refused visa for the EU

That's too sad to hear. At least she wont be going to Europe.

Again, all you push are personal, unverified anecdotes. Hard to say if you don't get it or simply plowing on regardless.

If I don't make it personal, then what should I make it about? The anecdotes of a journalist that I haven't even met or spoken to a single time in my life? ????

You've asked, will you or your company be affected if you criticize them? - I've answered to the best of my knowledge and to my little experience with criticizing them, which as you can see it's almost nonexistent. (Mainly because I am of the opinion that when you are a foreigner at another country, you should shut up, and if you are so unhappy go back. It makes me sick to my stomach those Brits who move to Spain, and they talk nothing but criticizing Spain. These are my beliefs and it is how I act. If I wasn't happy in China I wouldn't criticize them on social media, I'd <deleted> off somewhere else)

The point of these such posts is that I come here and tell my personal experience in China, and you tell yours (or lack thereof) nothing less nothing more. 

Don't be so thick, it's not so hard to understand.

Just stop replying to my posts, tired of wasting my time on this dialogue at crossed purposes, half of the posts weren't even needed.

Are you trying to claim that the Chinese government didn't do anything to people engaged in such criticism or merely that your own, again unverified, experience was different?

I don't know what happened to others. To me and my wife nothing happened. You could believe I am making it at all up and she never made such post. You're free to do so. 

But I can tell you and I think it is common sense, that if they had to jail every Chinese normal citizen (meaning not journalist, or influencer, or famous) who criticizes the Chinese government like that, then, there wouldn't be enough jails in all of the world to jail them all ????

And think also, that those foreigners who spoke bad about China and later on got their visas cancelled and such, why do you know about them and their story? They must be famous at the very least. Do you seriously think that if such thing happened to me you would get to know about it? Highly doubt it since I am not famous.

OK, I'll add the above to your usual all-is-well-in-China nonsense posts. I don't believe you believe what you've posted. Foreigners and Chinese, who weren't reporters, got shafted over such stuff in the past. Even when doing so abroad, and the coming/returning to China. This was featured on more than one topic here over the years.

Last year, when Doctor Li Wenliang died, my wife like many other Chinese took to Weibo to criticize the treatment he had received when trying to warn people of what was going on, and asked justice for him. Guess what, we both and my company are still out here perfectly fine ????

(I think I still have both my kidneys, or so I hope) ????

We all see things according to our own life and personal experiences...

Or so you say. If you were try that USA anecdote on this forum, you'd be called out. Same same.

 

Even if taking your post at face value, can you honestly say that your company, and your family (or indeed yourself), won't be effected by commenting on matters Chinese in anything but a positive manner?

 

It depends what you mean by "commenting on matters Chinese" 

If you mean writing death threats to a politician, then I'd be in deep trouble. (But someone in my hometown back in Spain, was jailed for writing in Twitter "Put all those dirty politicians in front of me, give me a machine gun and I'll kill them all" after the president of the provincial government of my own province had been shot to death in the street). So I guess that's nothing wrong. And I'd be jailed.

     (Here you have that news, although in Spanish language, so you can verify by yourself that I am not making it up) 

    https://www.abc.es/espana/20140515/abci-arrestado-valencia-bloguero-amenazar-201405152044.html

  If you mean, that I use some Chinese social media such as Weibo or WeChat Moments, and post for example that I believe certain BBC report on the Uighurt matter. I'd face an enormous crowd of angry and very patriotic Chinese, 'politely' asking me to f**ck off from China and explaining why I am wrong, and again asking me to go back to my country. But I don't expect any official punishment from the government, because I am not a foreign journalist and thus I and whatever I have to say matters very few or virtually nothing to them. That is not to say I am completely sure such thing wouldn't affect me, but I am quite sure in this particular case they would do nothing because I dont matter to them.

 If you mean that I use some Chinese social media such as Weibo or WeChat Moments, and post for example that I don't agree with certain Chinese law or regulation by which they took 3 points from my drivers license for infringing certain regulation, or that I don't agree by certain Chinese law by which I have to pay X amount of tax, or I need to pay X percent of a worker's salary when he takes sick leave..... I'll face comments from people who agree with me, comments from people which disagree with me. But definitely no legal action or being affected by the government.

You are an anonymous poster on a public forum. And a (supposedly) new one, at that.

There is no reason to accept your personal, unverified "accounts". They are not equal to or better than the reports offered by well established media venues. As for your comments regarding your allegiances and/or economic circumstances, try reading the this post and my previous one again. Or look up "recursive" in the dictionary.

Yes, I don't need your lessons on Computer Science concepts such as 'recursive', because, as you can see (or if you can't I couldn't care less) I'm pretty good at Computer Science, so save the lessons and definitions for yourself.. 

I'm not telling you to accept my personal unverified "accounts", you have the freedom to do whatever you want with them and I'll be equally happy either way, because as you can see I couldn't care less. I am only stating and highlighting for everyone to see in this public forum that unlike those well established journalists I have no economical reason to post positive/negative comments about anything, let alone China. I'm not a journalist paid by the CCP, and I've never received a single penny from the CCP to talk good about them online (as you suggest). I only talk good about "China" because after years of living there, and owning a company, everything's gone well for me, and China and specially the Chinese people have been extremely good to me (to the point that I married one and thus half my family is Chinese). When it comes to the CCP they've done nothing wrong to me personally and I have witnessed nothing wrong being done to others (of course it doesn't mean it isn't there. When I was on a trip in the USA it was fantastic and I saw no policeman shooting unarmed black men to death, yet it happens and it's there). I just tell what I saw with my own eyes, nothing more.

Your own (anonymous, newcomer poster) unverifiable personal anecdote, carrying more than a hint of the party line, vs. numerous reports by established media venues, which are far more open to scrutiny, and the consequences of losing their credibility. It's a tough call, but I think I'll just go ahead and disregard your "input".

Im not anonymous, I’m CTABUYO. (not) Pleased to meet you 

PS: Just because of the reasons you mentioned, I have no need in lying when I talk about China, Thailand, Spain or the USA, because my food doesn’t depend on whatever I write on the internet, for many of those well established journalist it does. 
 

My food depends on what I write in a program called Visual Studio Code not in TVF.

I only wish that the Thai woman (not HiSo) who was/is married to a German Dentist at the time in Chalong and for whom has an arrest warrant been issued in 2016 for cheating me and others of various amounts, would one day be arrested as well. Even with brown encouragements (not given to traffic police) not much happened, except writing off the encouragements as well????

And yes, I switch off my brain at the time as others did too.

If she has an arrest warrant and not arrested yet, she probably isn’t in LOS

Anyway, scammers, i despies them deeply, very good job by the Thai police. Jailtime PLEASE!! Including the wife.

The wife might very well have nothing to do with it. Even if she knew something was cooking, she could have been told a half truth. And if she did not participate in that software at all, and doesn’t keep any of the scammed money, I just don’t see any need for her to be jailed, just let her take care of their child as his mother. Cause the child for sure is not to be blamed for what his parents (rather father did).

You guys dream with the ccp

Lol, next you're gonna claim the ccp wants to f**ck your wife. Come on mate, Earth2 is 100% American. 

It is a game, and an investment too. However do not put more than you can afford to lose and/or don't expect the quick buck. 

If you can afford to lose the money you put into it, and see it as a long term investment, it could potentially be very good. 

PS: It for sure is not a scam, but it is sort of a gamble, and has certain risks. So again, never put more than you can afford to lose.

A trip to Urumqi does not make you an expert. That's anecdotal. Try reading the extensively documented investigations on the atrocious treatment of Uighurs. 

Like I said there's no guarantee such investigations are true, they all come from the same US/European medias (and they are written by humans, which more or less all of us are biased to one side or the other). The fact that they attach a picture of a document signed by a high end Chinese politician stating to put Uighurs in concentration camps, to me means nothing. Because I can fire up Adobe Photoshop and make the same paper stating the entire opposite thing. 

My trip to Xinjiang, and seeing happy local females, running their local food restaurants and happily serving food to everyone clearly means that those who claim that Uighur females get raped and put to concentration camps etc are just full of sh**t. It neither proves that there are no such reeducation camps, but at least I can tell you that in the capital of Xinjiang you can see many happy local (Uighur, not Han) females around, because I saw it myself.

Op,

 

As it should bother you as its racist.

 

Pure and simple. 

 

Its up to you to educate your friends.

 

  If you live in Germany,  you are an outsider.

If you live in Japan, you are Not Japanese.

If you live in almost any Latin country you are 

A white man.

If you live in America, you are an immigrant. 

 

All of these are racist and often used by the poor or uneducated. 

 

A few months back, I visited family friends from over 6 years ago.... They had already taught they're 4 year old daughter (or perhaps kindergarten)  to say Foreigner. Not a Man, Not a guest to they're house, not a friend of the family. 

 

They were instantly ashamed and apologized for their daughters outcry.

 

Its up to all of us to learn the language here, understand the laws and Proclamations of the Monarchy and teach young Thais to have more social skills and less bigotry. 

 

I am a man, I am a resident, I am a tax payer, home owner, and just like everyone else here, A subject of the King. 

 

 

You are full of **** and Thai bashing

Farang is the same as laowai (老外) is in China. I am no expert in Thai language, so I can not explain where it comes from. 

But laowai 老 (technically means old, but Chinese put it behind someone's name to show friendship) + 外 (literally 'outside', comes from the word 外国人, meaning foreigner). 

Same happens with farang (or gaijin（外人） in Japan for that matter). It's just a shorter  and easier slang word than the Thai word for "foreigner" or "white man". Where is the racism? 

You will never get the real product, because only Apple has the real genuine battery and they do not sell to third-party unless their certified partners. 

Having that said, you can get expensive batteries manufactured to the same standards as Apple's, and therefore virtually the same thing. Such as iFixit Battery. Or, 

you can get cheaper batteries which are also worse in terms of how long the charge lasts, and how long does it take for their capacity to start decreasing. 

I would advise either biting the bullet and paying Apple for the repair. Or ordering the iFixit battery yourself, and having some technician install the battery which you ordered in front of you.

You're part of the problem. It doesn't matter how insane, unhinged, irrational the Left becomes, there will always be the complacent normies like you to pretend they don't exist?

Politics only matter to me when I’m bored or with insomnia (such as right now), as a pass time. During other times I prefer to invest my time into what really matters: $ ¥ € £ 

But if you think you’re gonna change what’s wrong with the world with your debates in TVF, well, whatever floats your boat. I’d still be more than happy to come here and debate whenever I’m bored.

You can't resist telling us all how racist we are? I'd love to hear some concrete examples.

Nah, didn’t say you specifically. Have never seen any post of yours except for this one. But the Thai bashing on this forum from certain individuals can be seen from miles away: 

Typical post: 

Hey guys, my phone is not charging. Dead? 
 

Reply 1: Have you tried another charger? 
 

Reply 2: It’s normal, electricity here in LOS is awful, you probably aren’t getting enough  voltage to your charger. 

????????????

Don’t fight guys. We could all agree arguing politics among us is pointless and won’t lead anywhere, and neither will it fix the current world issues ????

Just a pass time  in these boring COVID times.
