  1. Any other platforms you can think of where they've admitted it happens? I don't know the exact figures but I'd be surprised if Facebook accounted for even 0.1% of the internet.
  2. Thanks. Plenty of that going on here. It's a shame people can't just agree to disagree. Instead they have to make comments about intelligence and education.
  3. Why not tar every Thai with the same brush? Oh. I see you have. Of course, we should also remember violence is unique to Thailand.
  4. They " have tiny little lives" because they don't have TV or smart phones? I would say it was the other was around. Anyone who relies on TV or smart phones for entertainment has issues in life.
  5. It was clear and you did engage. You turned it into something more that it was. Take a leaf out of your own book.
  6. On this occasion, you are correct. If you'd care to read my posts on this thread, I have explained many times that my comment with regards to safe countries that immigrants travel through to get to the UK not being that concerned about the immigrants' plight was a suggestion. Not a fact. It's a shame it's taken you so long to actually realise that. Better late than never, I guess.
  7. Thanks for your (non) answer. Predictable and confirmation of what was expected. I would give you 10/10 but you failed on the major point. I have not posted anything that was said to be to be a factual claim. It was a suggestion. Your failure to recognize that took away your opportunity to discuss it. Shame but your loss. 5/10.
  8. So quickly. Let me give you an example. Q. Did you study hard for the exam? A. No, I'm not. B. Yes, I have lessons. C. Yes, I do it. D. No, I went to Bangkok. This is a question from a varifiable source in Thai education. Used to prepare students for ONET. Which answer do you think the varifiable source gives as the correct one? Before you go off on your usual off topic rant, this is to show that not all varifiable sources are useful.
  9. Not at all. During my teaching career I used students' real life experiences to help them to think for themselves and solve issues they had with their English proficiency. As we already know, varifiable sources can be biased or incorrect. To use them would be unfair to the students.
  10. 55% I believe. That's what this poll shows. Hardly "far more".
  11. It depends what side of the fence you are on. I can see both sides. If something is not finished, it could get better or worse. Many people could be confident. Many might not. Your comment is biased towards "not".
  12. I agree. Unless he thinks I was teaching politics.????????????.
  13. I'm fine thanks. I am the one who is able to distinguish between facts, statements and suggestions. Your comment speaks volumes. Just because someone disagrees with you, you have to question their abilities. What was it you were saying about personal attacks?
  14. Once again you twist to suit yourself. I have made no statements and have certainly not tried to present them as facts. Hence the use of the word " seem". Seems you could use a couple of reading lessons too.
  15. 60% agreed. We know you like a Brexit poll. I guess this one doesn't suit so you have to attempt humour.
  16. It cannot be a failure. Not yet. Remember, it's not complete. As the poll shows people to think. 48% said next ten years. 36% said not in next 10 years. Not " never" or "soon" or " tomorrow".
  17. Nothing new in that. 48% is " Nearly half". 60% and then 49% agree with what I've been saying all along. Only 18% then 30% agree with the 3 amigos on here.
  18. I really don't have time to help you with your reading. I gave up teaching 4 years ago.
  19. It was a suggestion. Not a factual claim. Factual claims tend not to use tge word " seem". It still remains a suggestion that no one has proved to be incorrect.
  20. I haven't made any statements. I made a suggestion based on what I have read and digested. If you disagree with my suggestion, fine. No need to bang on about links. Do you have a link to prove my suggestion incorrect?
