Popular Post Matzzon Posted September 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2019 Why do you choose to settle in a country where you feel so unsafe that you need to carry a gun?

I think there's Pro's and Con's to living in Thailand however Thai people need to treat people equally and in this country, that's still not happening. Sometimes i feel like a second hand citizen, like there's 1 law for Thai's and 1 for farung. I would just like to see the country move forward and improve. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely right. Possessing a gun puts you in a aggressive posture and makes it much more likely that you would be hurt. I know that not having a gun makes you safer is counter intuitive but it is absolutely true, which is why the NRA does not want and desperately tries to prevent research on gun related violence. With a gun you confront, but you are the good guy, and you are not sure of the alleged bad guy's intentions (it could be your son sneaking in) so you inquire. but the bad guy knows your intentions, Right there you are at a distinct disadvantage, Edited September 15, 2019 by sirineou 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now think about how foreigners feel in your home country. In how many countries are foreigners, especially from a different race, treated like the locals? Personally I accept that Thailand is foremost a country for Thai people. They give us some rights and they give us the chance to live here under the conditions which they set. We can accept it or not, it's up to us. Personally I am happy to accept it. 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officially they are in every civilised country I don't know France (but I am using France as an example , as to exclude my own national bias) .So in France if a store charged immigrants more than locals what do you think the official response would be when they found out? Substitute US, Germany Sweden, etc etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
