That a philosphical quagmaire. Personally I canunderstand why truck drivers - in all countries - get a bad rep, I imagine spending the whole day on the road dealing with Joe public and the myriad of driving skills would be enough to test the patience of a saint. I think the video is funny as! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's not: He's making a hyperbolic remark about a sub-group of Thai truck drivers (Unless "Thai Truck Driver" is a new race that I wasn't aware of) . It's like saying most Swedish farmers have blonde hair and love smelly fish. Now if he said "All Thais are <deleted> at driving and I hate all Thai people", that might lean towards being racist (More xenophobic than racist since Thai isn't actually a race) Edited April 25, 2020 by SABloke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always said it every Hospital should have a bar/lounge next to the cafeteria. And a cigar lounge.

A volunteer will accompany you to the clinic, and after you get cert you can then go out to Tesco or whereever. Crazy stuff. Being watched like lab rats...I'm not sure if it's because he is identified as foreigner but he needs to show passport stamps on demand to prove he has been here and not traveled recently. I know his wife also needed cert but maybe because identified as living in same house as foreigner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben2talk Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 The worst thing here is to assume people will drive on the left; in the UK we learn to drive near to the kerb, but here generally they go straight up the middle at best... then come out of sideroads in your face because they won't pull out and cross your lane before doing a right turn... Glad they find it amusing. Next video is monkeys laughing at monkeys throwing dung... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
