So the six Indians have now changed nationalities to Russians 😎

He said "Russian", not "Russians".

The trouble started when a Russian in the villa took an unprovoked swing at the IOs with a baseball bat.

Presumption is that he has also been sent home/banned.......but who knows?

Very good idea to define it - - I think most people confuse it with sympathy... mostly I see it defined as 'feeling' someone else's pain... I think that is rare. 

 

• Empathy means that when you see another person suffering, such as after they've lost a loved one, you are able to instantly envision yourself going through that same experience and feel what they are going through.

It happens for me, but not with everyone - and sometimes with total strangers... I mean actually feeling their pain. There were times with close people where I experienced their symptoms. It can be extremely painful. 

Empathy is not imagining how you would feel on the receiving end of what you perceive to be another persons "misfortune".......that is a popular, self involved, misconception.

Empathy is being in their head.......with their history, their conditioned emotions, their conditioned thoughts and reactions.

People with a co-dependency problem frequently mistake themselves for "empaths".

Shouldnt it be the opposite, the body stay still and the head shake?

Congratulations.

You have recognised the core of the visual joke.....a joke that was almost certainly created by an Indian.

Once again.......congratulations

"I intend to write a book about you guys........"

But you won't.

"After I arrive in Japan, I will commit more time to my research of Yukio Mishima." 

No you won't.

You are tiresome narcissist.......just go away.

Story should be titled: "Silly old *** meets 18 year old ****wit"

Bad idea to cross in front of approaching traffic.

Also PU driver looks to have steered to the right in order to continue in front of the MC, rather than steer to the left to pass behind him as he crossed.

In doing so (as I have seen so often in CCTV of Thai accidents) the PU driver guaranteed impact.

"anything else I should know?"

You are definitely going to fall off.

The fall may involve another road user but you, a novice, one way or another, are definitely going to fall off.

The better the safety gear you wear the less it hurts

Read the linked article.

 

Interesting that it happens Thai on Thai as well as Thai on Farang.

You think it "interesting" that people of the same nationality/race/ethnicity cheat and betray each other?

I think you will find it a persistently recurring theme in human relationships since "time immemorial".

Sorry but I do not trust the police due to their reputation for planting evidence. Why is no one asking why he would not pay?

"Why is no one asking why he would not pay?

Perhaps because they assume, as I do, that he was on a drug that rendered him out of his skull by the time it came to bill time, ie "The suspect appeared to be acting erratic and unusual"

A year ago, in a similar, drug induced condition, I refused to have anything to do with a medical team who desperately wanted to assess me for the possibility of an imminent heart attack......I thought they wanted to take me into my hotel room (which I absolutely refused to enter) to kill and dismember me for my money, passport and CCards.

Even when I started to recover (and was persuaded to enter the room) I insisted on checking the ECG machine because I thought it might be a portable electrocution device.

The whole episode, from descent into delusional, paranoid psychosis to recovery, lasted about 2 hours......so the young lady who was chaperoning me said.

It was not the longest drug induced episode I have experienced........but it was the most dramatic, intricately detailed, theatrical and, theoretically, dangerous one.

Perhaps he thought that if he stayed still in plain sight, kept his hands on his wallet and PPort, and waited to come down, as I did, everything would be OK.

PS I'm definitely hoping to return to Colombia sometime.

Brussels might be a bit too much for some:

Was the window at the same level as your ****?

Was it and/or pstream actually visible to anyone?........for Gods sake don't go to Amsterdam or Paris!

Even if it was, if there is one place where I have found open air urination by men is common and "unnoticed" ......it's Thailand.

Unnoticed by Thai people that it is......"not noticing" is part of the culture.

 Different matter for **** up, ****** up, "tink too much" Western foreigners though:

Some of you guys really need to work through it.

I mean......what the **** are you doing in tranny central in the first place?

Belt is hung with weapons, road leads to war.

As someone pointed out the Gulf of Siam/Thailand is only 85 metres deep AT MOST (average 45 metre) so  a submarine here would be pointless. Send it over to the Adaman Sea so they can torpedo refugee boats maybe?

Right location, wrong mission.

Andaman Sea is indeed their intended home area of operations (base facilities included in the cross-isthmus plan)......they will spend zero time in the Gulf except during "peace".

Purpose being to assist China in challenging Indian maritime authority in the Indian Ocean and blocking/choking of Malacca Straits.......when the time comes

**** "defusing" the situation

**** "Ms Lek" and her petty extortion.

Presumably the employee is the muscle that is normally used to enforce her illegal parking charges.

Prosecute the thieving cow!

Is it possible that the house is built on a mound of earth that was brought to the site and is not permeable enough?

There was the same problem with my GFs house.

The original setup looked very similar to your photo (including waterlogging).

Dug down about 1.5 metres to the permeable layer (then 10cms into that) installed 3 rings and the problem was solved.

was this a sexual assault case ?

 

whats with the laughing emoji, do you find this funny ?

With your time spent in Thailand you don't know what a Section 112 case would be about?

😲

It remains to be seen if the court proceedings were truly as accessible as the report presents them to have been.

Dublin is preferable to Belfast, where "now"  is pronounced "noy".  

A different thread perhaps, but which is the absolute worst English regional accent?

After Belfast, I'd vote for Liverpool and Yorkshire.  (Sorry if I've offended anyone here.)

None of them are "worst".

There is no "worst" regional accent.

They are all perfect.
