In a nutshell?

 

Socialism doesn't work and Labour are a bunch of charlatans. 

Too many politicians of all ilk, are charlatans!

If I fart in an empty elevator and then people get on the elevator do you think they will know I did it? But even more importantly, if I fart again after they get on the elevator then do you think that it would cause an even bigger stink? And if I apologize and insist that I have a mental disorder and that my name is GG do you think that they would agree that I can't be blamed for posting insatiable drivel on AN that nobody needs or wants to read?

I wouldn't say his drivel is insatiable.   Humorous, amusing, funny at times.   But not insatiable.  
People do read his drivel though.

what does your post have to do with the op?

It's alluding to the reason that students may be converting to islam.  Muslim extremism.  So they would be accepted by the extremist faction of the muslim population and not be terrorized and or attacked by the extremist for being infidels.  
Someone alluded to the students reason for converting to islam may be out of fear.   .

Sorry, but with this comment you disqualified yourself for any reasonable discussion.

If you focus yourself on reading and understanding in the future your life will be much easier. 

(I did not talk about Christians being terrorists, nor about Africa or India...but students in Germany)

I don't know what makes you writing such incoherent stuff😵‍💫)

Anyway, good Luck with your life. 

Why would my comment disqualify myself from a discussion?   Would it be that you refuse to participate in a conversation with me?  If so, why not be up front and admit it?

OK, so I deviated from country of Germany and brought in other continents where there is an extremist Muslim contingent that attacks Christians for not being Muslim.  That alludes to someone, someplace, alluding to students converting to islam out of fear.  Fear of what?  In that comment I read, fear of being terrorized and attacked for not being Muslim and so students convert to Islam to prevent the terror and attacks. 

As to reading and understanding.   Did you not read and understand what the Islam scholar said in his interview, which I posted along with the link to the article, "Western politicians should stop pretending that extremism and terrorism have nothing to do with Islam."

Perhaps my writings are incoherent to for you, as you may suffer from what you have accused me of.   I have seen that accusation before from asean now posters.  Usually when it is apparent from reading and understanding the discussions, that the accuser does not agree with or like the posted comments.   

And ...  is that "good Luck with your life", like that alleged Chinese curse, "May you have a pleasant life"?  😁

My life is pretty good right now.   No worries about income.   Two homes here in the U.S. of A. that are paid for, 2 condos in Thailand that are paid for.  Although the third home I was going to have built at a predicted $350,000.00 cost before the covid attack on humanity, has now escalated to over $1,000,000.00 due to inflation in the cost of building materials and labor. Wife and I don't consider that cost worth the value in the neighborhood where it was going to be built.   If it were in another area of Pennsylvania, then it would be extremely cheap compared to the homes around it.   So my wife's dream home will not be built, so sad! 😪

You might add that there are extremists not only in Islam but also in Christian religions. 

And if students in a school would respect the Koran more than German law it's an indication that integration was a failure.

When you write "you might add", I assume you mean the generic form of "you".

Where might those extremist Christians be that are practicing terrorism against others because they are not Christians?   The continent of India, Africa, the Middle East?
What of Christianaphobia ?  Is there any of that around do you think?

There have been many warnings before. 

However, those were stamped as "Islamophobic".

And the former President was stating, that Islam belongs to Germany.

It was unfortunately not even a joke!😵‍💫

fear mongering posts like this stupid post need to be backed up with links and proof otherwise fake news

"

Western politicians should stop pretending that extremism and terrorism have nothing to do with Islam. There is a clear relationship between fundamentalism, terrorism, and the basic assumptions of Islamic orthodoxy. So long as we lack consensus regarding this matter, we cannot gain victory over fundamentalist violence within Islam.

Radical Islamic movements are nothing new. They’ve appeared again and again throughout our own history in Indonesia. The West must stop ascribing any and all discussion of these issues to “Islamophobia.” Or do people want to accuse me — an Islamic scholar — of being an Islamophobe too?"

I was talking about Truth Social so your reply is disingenuous. 

It's impossible to have sincere discussions with Trump cult members (similar to Putin Z bots). 

Similar to biden cult members as well!

ThaigerTalk - the forum of The Thaiger - is dedicated to Free Speech with little to no moderation.  Only when members report breaches/complaints a Moderator will look at the case and make a fair decision with TT's Free Speech policy as over-riding principle.  

Will be interesting to see how that will affect AseanNow's current moderation approach.  

Will the self appointed, not official, moderators, still be moderating content they don't like?

You're quite a bit off the mark there. Biden is perfectly ok with killing as many Palestinians as possible in Gaza, with the help of American ammunition he sends to Israel while bypassing Congress.

That was written with a bit of sarcasm on my part.   biden could give a poo poo about what happens to muslims, or palestinians, or hamas, or the American voters, as long as he can get their vote for him in the coming presidential election.

I thought that guy Trump had 100% defeated the ISIS caliphate, and had done his job perfectly?

Perhaps biden's apology and empathy for muslims will quell muslim hate for infidels.

Go back to sleep caveman. Woke means evolved. The term was coined out of resentment by the narrow minded of the progress of most of us making in the direction of humanity, which forces the rest to confront their ignorance, and they don't like it. The rest of us are growing with the times and recognize and respect women and their legitimate issues. And respecting Thai culture and their ways has nothing to do with woke. You clearly don't get that. Respect for the country and its people. It's not your country, it's theirs. Tinder is a huge corporation which cares nothing of the people pouring money into their pockets, cares nothing about the cultures to whom they are marketing. Go back to Soi Cowboy where you don't have to strain your limited brain and nobody cares about your woke, and you can be as disrespectful and crude as you like to women as long as you're filling the pockets of the ladyboys and bar girls there. Go where you're on equal terms in the sleaze and streets and where women think no more of you than cattle to be milked dry. Better yet, go back to the US and vote for Trump. If you're not from the US I'm sure they'll make you an honorary citizen, you fit right in. Go to your KKK meetings. Parade around with the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers waving your confederate flag and your assault rifles. Chain your women to the stove, keep them barefoot and pregnant, republicans love that. Hope you're not married or have kids to spread your narrow mindedness  to. I came here with respect for the culture and thoroughly understand and support these women and all Thai people. The whole world has moved so far ahead of you that you'll never get it or catch up. Maybe that's why you have so much resentment - nobody likes being left behind in the dust 100 years behind the times. 

Every time I see the words "woke means ..." posted by someone defending the term "woke", the definition is different.   
I don't think anyone supporting the "woke" even knows what the word "woke" means.

78 provinces in Thailand. About 70 too many.

Run for a political position in Thailand and straighten them out.   

I am glad that global warming happened and melted the ice bergs or what ever you call that thick sheet of ice that came all the way down from the north pole and possibly covered the area where my house was eventually built, just north of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania!

Otherwise, my wife would have me outside every fricking day, running the snow blower to get the 2 feet (or more) of snow off the sidewalks and driveway, and my fruit trees would be perpetually frozen!
