Baby boom nine months later.

Now you are talking about people from this world, right?

Yup, if I was talking about people out of this world  - Thailand - I would have said  baby boom-boom nine month later.

I think you'd find this around the globe.

People seem to love death and rape threats for ones who disagree with them. Sad.

They do not happen that often , in reality , but when they do, its highly publicised

Its quite often stupid youngsters carrying out the threats with no intention of carrying them out ..

   They should just be deleted and ignored and the sender banned

What about forums?

Have to go back to reading books.

Going by your post count I can imagine that would be desperate times.

Netizens have more than their fair share of filth it seems

Judging from all their outrage tantrums and apparent lack of emotional control I'd simply say netizens are filth.

Yes.

Altho' mass slaughter might be a result.

Still,your post is an interesting one and I have often thought about it.Sending letters to one another might not have not be able to express the overwhelming,irrational angst..

This is one of those times when I'm reminded that FAR TOO MANY people in this world are coming totally and completely unglued.... 

with some of the vile comments I have read on other tropics , many westerners are coming unglued .just read the first 3 0r 4 comments about a Thai lady who was murdered by husband and put in the pool .

“Rape her son and her mother first, then rape her later. Do it brutally and savagely.”

 

Ahhh....Thainess and Buddhism in Thailand..ain't it grand?

It's not Thainess. It's not Buddhism. It's internet bullying. Happens worldwide.

..Exactimondo...  the Thai way.

Why oh why does this unhinged activity have to be attributed to thais???

This sort of horrendous action by mentally disturbed keyboard warriors is a world wide phenomenon.

Brits and yanks lead the world in terms of very nasty heartless trollers.

EVERY country has them sadly.

Thai people I find are very friendly and live and let live types.

Why let your unhappy state of mind insult all thais.

The poor lady has been targetted and besmirched by 'unhappy' saddos.

The death penalty for rapists is a too extreme sentence 

Absolutely sanemax , imagine someone stiching up a bloke by leading him on , laying a trap , then screaming rape , ok not a full proof plan , but if death by injection for rape cases the number will soar , what next a written agreement to sex so as to avoid any issues.

' A lady ran into a police and cried I have been graped '

Do you mean rape missus ?

' No there was a bunch of them '

No "Likes" for 4 days? Mass-suicides.

The problem of the internet and yes there are many is that any wacko or extreme left or right person. Can say anything they want and hide behind unanimity.

 

Imagine if thai visa made you use your real name how this site would change

The Internet is a dangerous place, especially the social media.

 

Just by posting one`s political views can cause hostile reactions. For example; try posting anything complimentary about Donald Trump on facebook and see what reactions you get or try going against the flow with the mainstream points of view.

Even for definitely guilty rapists , the death sentence is too harsh a punishment

They have always been "unglued"

 

Now they have the means to express it.

How do people this dumb ever use smart phones?  Logically, the death penalty for rape or kidnapping is always counter productive.  It leads to the criminal killing the victim as they think: "Well, the penalty is the same and they can only kill.me once.  My chances are way better without this witness here, so "BANG" one woman raped AND murdered.

But where is the instant gratification? Who can wait 2 long minutes for an email, hours or even weeks (heaven forbid these days) to display their lack of talent, imagination or skills? These egos demand attention NOW and these egos are bigger than any contribution they could ever possibly make to creating a better society. Both in Thailand and abroad.
