That's just your, clearly, biased interpretation of the "Fight" gesture, not fact. What are you talking about? He's yelling, "Fight!" while holding up his fist. Look at the video again...

That's what Biden would have done as well.😄 Trump behaved like a leader. A rockstar. Like Terry Butcher against Sweden in '89. That's what leaders do. That's why I'll vote for Biden or whomever the Democrats put up as their nominee. It's really a vote AGAINST Trump and all his extreme right-wing, neo-fascist diatribe.

I agree with your statement above with the following changes... "That's right, MAGA's let the Dark Side consume them. Do you know how scary you sound to scary people? They are what this thread is about."

Yes, that's closer to what I would have done as opposed to what Trump did. What do you think you would have done?

That is my interpretation of his fist in the air shouting, "Fight! Fight!" What is your interpretation of his actions and words?

Above the ear is the head. Look at the wound it was his head that got hit. Other than that you are simply ridiculous. @Cryingdick Why do you think that what I wrote above is "ridiculous"? And, what would have been your reaction to being shot in a circumstance like this?

...in the ear... I would have laid on the ground and allowed myself to be carried to the limo. I might have raised my hand and waved to the crowd to let them know I was okay, or at least not dead, but I would not have raised my fist in the air and shouted, "FIGHT! FIGHT!" Of course, I'm a far-left, woke liberal...

I'm not condoning the assassination attempt, but the photo bove shows another example of the problem with Trump. How does he gesture to his fans after being shot? Does he wave, showing he is okay? No! He gives them a scowling face and a fist in the air... It's as if he is saying, "Fight! Our opponents are evil and need to be conquered. They need to be crushed. Fight! Physically fight them like you did on Jan 6!" As long as he has that attitude, which I know he will never lose, there will be social, verbal, physical, and probably armed fighting between the extremes in both groups. I think the future looks very bad for the USA, especially for the next three or four months. I have no doubt this will not be the last horrific event. Buckle up!

Sounds like a USA accent, my home country, and the phrase is certainly rude.

I've never been to Pattaya and never intend to go. I do consider it "Sin City."

Yes! I recommended this right after the BIdden/Trump Debate. In fact, I recommended Biden resign as president immediately and let Harris assume the presidency now.

I read the story and then watched the video. I think it was the woman who knocked the man out, and she is the one who should be arrested.

So these things only happen in Pattaya then? I'm sure incidents like this happen everywhere, but they seem to be much, much more prevalent in Pattaya, and also in Bangkok.

Afraid of getting felt up by a phony cop? 🙂 Among other things, yes...

Do you pay to promote your book on here? No, I promoted it as a public service. You can download a free copy of an ebook on its Facebook page. Facebook

Actually it is colder now than 20 years ago where I live. "Change" includes getting colder and getting hotter. "Climate change" means the climate of the entire Earth will change, not just where you live.

I don't know what Bolt or Grab are, and don't care to find out.

This incident is deplorable, of course, but it doesn't surprise me that it took place in a bar in Pattaya. That's the reason I've never been and will never go to Pattaya.

Yes, that one was supposed to be worldwide. Here is another one which is label as such: https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-fd5c8a559e1f3279519664facbbd7bb3-pjlq It's not meant to show mixing other than the "Other Multiracial" slice on the upper left. I first posted it to show what a worldwide immigrant mix might be. It was meant for those who want to limit immigration in their country to preserve the "original" ethnicity. My remark on that post was that "someday, the makeup of your entire country will look more like this."

Again, my bad! How about this one? https://infogram-thumbs-1024.s3.amazonaws.com/Olpin_1358957847.jpg

Ignoring laws and other rules doesn't absolve you of your responsibility to abide by them. It is also your responsibility to do so with caution.

I'm not trying to assign blame to either party, but it is my understanding that pedestrians DO NOT have the right of way unless they are in a designated crosswalk. And even then, as others have said above, you must be cautious because many Thai drivers don't respect that. Before I cross a street in a crosswalk, I look both ways (that's important because many Thai drivers, especially on motorbikes, don't even drive in the correct lane), and if a car or motorbike is coming, I might take one step out onto the crosswalk, but I look them in the eye to see if they are going to yield to me or not before going further. Before I cross a street without a crosswalk, I look both ways (as before) and then only go if I am certain I can get entirely across the street before any traffic can arrive.
