  1. Feel better now ? All that angst released now you can get on with the rest of your life.

    So? If nobody posts then nothing will get done.

    .... and you think because you protest vote here that something will be done ... cheesy.gif

    sorry ...

    why then write all the other topics everyday on TV(didnt mean you personally)?? also a waste of time......

  2. sorry yourauntbob, i adjusted your text. saved me time...

    herb, why do you live here if you hate the culture sooo much? First, there are some parts of the culture/weather I do enjoy, living here only parttime. But, to answer your question, my wife.

    She is one of the most selfless people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. After a hard day of work, she comes home and cooks a nice thai dinner for me while I talk to her.

    Her priority list for just about everything in life is always her daughter and me, then her friends and finally herself.

    I am lucky to have found her.

    That being said, WE will be out of this country soon.

    and one for the famous thaibeaches:

  4. Its such a shame that many people / animals in the world today are in much need of help. We have given alot of money / supplies to the school for the blind, and this month to there school with children that have no familys or nothing what so ever. It is a shame, but you cant help everyone..I do though hope these dogs get what they need from loving people

    "It is a shame, but you cant help everyone".that is true and therefore the only way is to reduce them! now it doesnt help people and dogs either.

  5. sad.png I am in Udon Thani province, I am Austrian, I sometimes frequent German speaking Expat meeting points in Udon city,

    possible I met him.

    I will ask when I am in Udon city.

    Think, that is the third Austrian killed in Udon province in the last 2-3 years,bah.gif

    one stabbed by his wife 21 or 27? times, in self defense, as she claimed, blink.png

    one killed with a machete by his wives sister husband (his wife was also killed in the incident) the murderer hanged himself afterwards.

    Dangerous place for us Austrians. whistling.gif

    another whining farang. why are you complaining?? you like countries with no rules, no enforcements.

  6. Why is it that people feel the need to make pronouncements on something about which they know absolutely nothing.....and apparently do not have the intelligence to interpret a simple Thai media report without making huge assumptions.......it doesn't help anyone but makes themselves look downright ignorant.

    because the need to fill up their posts till10,000. then you get a superior title like "senior superintendant advanced member". this you can print out and hang around your neck to show at the next bar meeting.

  7. I would never eat dog meat knowing that it could have been:

    a.) a mangy animal with disease

    b.) freshly dug up from a shallow grave

    c.) someone's pet

    Which I'm sure most of these dogs are. That, and I love dogs... I just can't see myself eating one in any condition.

    diseases arent a good thing. you love dogs, okay. but you dont love these funny intelligent pigs? you have never seen one of those lovely calves on grazing lands? and then at midday you go to the next restaurant to eat them!?!? meat IS meat.

    but i am sorry if you are vegetarian.....

    There are thousands of people who have bonded with a cow or a pig and would never eat it.

    PIg does not come running when it sees you, and cow does not curl up next to you when watching TV.

    There are always good and bad things. dogs are the more unpredictable animals. accidents arent coming from nothing.

    a horseowner would not eat his horse, but many are eating them in sausages. so why not dogs, when you eat meat.

  9. I LOVE dogs but some of them in Thailand make me very wary

    I remember on Koh Chang, before they did all the big developing in the middle bit there was a bit of 'no mans land' of near half kilometre with little in the way of light where you'd run the gauntlet of ropey dogs

    They'd start off with a mild growl and do that thing where they're getting closer and you're not sure if they will go for you or not

    I used to pick up a couple of rocks 'just in case'

    People come always first. When people get hurt by dogs then something needs to be done about the dogs.

    For strays its the responsibility of the local authorities.

    of course , you can have private a dog, as long as you take over your responsibility.

    dog control is not a western thing: look at singapore, hongkong, taipei! its possible. even in malaysia i didnt see plenty of dogs roaming. in vietnam they are eaten like beef.

    only some brain and respect is necessary. respect in thailand is only between people? give yourself the answers.
