OneMoreFarang Posted November 4, 2022 Posted November 4, 2022 6 hours ago, Artisi said: Is 15 or 16 old enough for you? Why do you ask? For me personally there are maybe 4 criteria: a) Is she legally old enough. If not, then forget it. b) Is she emotionally old enough? Some girls know what they are doing when they are 16, others are still unsure or confused when they are 20. c) Am I interested? I met 16-yo girls who I definitely want to see closer. With many others I am just not interested. d) Does she want sex with me (for whatever reason)? If not, then not. Fine. And if she wants it and all the other criteria are met, then let's do it. 1

I gave you an example of a mitigating factor posted. If it doesn't say what I said... you can post it. That is why there is a range of punishments, mitigating and aggravating factors are used to decide the punishment. These are basic things, lol.... You literally have these things spoon fed to you.... This is not an opinion and open for debate, lol.... How much any certain factor may be mitigating, up for debate.... that mitigating factors exist... not up for debate lol.

There are an infinite number of mitigating factors and are judged based on the totality of the circumstances. It is literally impossible to post all of them. They sometimes will say specific factors so they define how mitigating a factor is.... It also doesn't say that being insane is a mitigating factor specifically in every law in the penal code lol....... Imagine if you had to write every possible mitigating factor in every single possible crime.... lol.... Imagine a general catch-all section of law that allows judges to use the totality of the circumstances lol. I guess when given a range of punishments judges just pick the punishment randomly, lol. They don't weigh the mitigating and aggravating circumstances lol.... because they don't list them all specifically in each specific law.... I guess we just pretend the mitigating/extenuating circumstances section doesn't exist lol. 1

Native speakers struggle to understand legal Thai and you expect that for an English language forum lol.... If the translation is wrong, please tell me where. I am assuming you are a Native speaker because I read at a CEFR C2 level.... or you're just being disingenuous. probably the latter. I will post another section for you about criminal intent as a matter or law and I have bolded the section that gives the court discretion in determining: CHAPTER 4 CRIMINAL LIABILITY Section 59 A person shall be criminally liable only when such person commits an act intentionally, except in case of the law provides that such person must be liable when such person commits an act by negligence, or except in case of the law clearly provides that such person must be liable even though such person commits an act unintentionally. To commit an act intentionally is to do an act consciously and at the same time the doer desired or could have foreseen the effect of such doing. If the doer does not know the facts constituting the elements of the offence, it cannot be deemed that the doer desired or could have foreseen the effect of such doing. To commit an act by negligence is to commit an offence unintentionally but without exercising such care as might be expected from a person under such condition and circumstances, and the doer could exercise such care but did not do so sufficiently. And another section that gives the court discretion: PART 3 INCREASE, REDUCTION AND SUSPENSION OF PUNISHMENT Section 51 In increasing the punishment, it shall not be increased up to the punishment of death, imprisonment for life or imprisonment exceeding fifty years. Section 52 In reducing the punishment of death, whether it be the reduction in the scale of punishment or in the punishment to be inflicted, it shall be reduced as follows: If the reduction be by one-third, the punishment shall be reduced to imprisonment for life; If the reduction be by one-half, the punishment shall be reduced to imprisonment for life or imprisonment of twenty-five to fifty years. Section 53 In having life imprisonment reduced, whether the punishment will be reduced in the punishment scale or in the inflicted punishment, the life imprisonment shall be transferred as five year imprisonment. Section 54 In calculating the increase or reduction of the punishment to be inflicted, the Court shall determine the punishment to be inflicted upon the accused first, and then the punishment shall be increased or reduced. If there are both increase and reduction of the punishment to be inflicted, the punishment shall be increased first and the reduced from the result of the addition. If the proportion of the increase is equal to or more than that of the reduction, the Court may, if it thinks fit, not increase or not reduce the punishment. Section 55 If the imprisonment, of which the offender must be inflicted, is only for three months or less, the less imprisonment may be determined by the Court or if the offender to be inflicted by imprisonment is only for three months or less, and to have the fine also, the less imprisonment may be determined by the Court, or such imprisonment may be repealed and only fine may still be made. Section 56 Whoever commits offence of imprisonment, and in such case, the Court will imprison not exceeding three years, if it does not appear that such person has been imprisoned before, or it appease that one has been imprisoned before, but it is punishment for offence committed by negligence or petty offence, when the Court has taken into consideration of sex, age, past record, religion, behavior, intelligence, education, health, mind-condition, temperament, occupation and envelopment of such person or the fined person's offence condition or other extenuating circumstance, it deems advisable, the Court will trial that such person has an offence but suspension of the determination of punishment or designates the punishment but the suspension of the in friction of punishment and then one is released for giving the time to such person reforming oneself within the period designated by the Court, but it must be not out of five year as from the date of the Court has passed a judgment and it will be designated by the condition for controlling such person's behavior or not. Regarding the conditions for controlling the behavior of the offender, the Court may determine one or more conditions as follows: To report himself to the official specified by the court from time to time so that the official may make inquiries, give advice, assistance or admonition on the behavior and carrying on occupation, or arrange the activity to be done for the social service or the public benefit, as the official and offender think fit; To be trained or to carry on occupation substantially; To refrain from going into the society or from any behavior which may lead to the commission of the similar offence again; To take the offender to receive the assuagement and cure of the harmfully habit forming drugs, defective body or mind, or the other illness at the place and the period of time as determined by the Court; The other conditions are determined by the Court, as it thinks fit, in order to rectify, resuscitate or protect the offender to be not commit the offence or not having the occasion for committing the offence again. 1

Instead use the report button to report inflammatory posts. 2. Do not post off-topic responses in an attempt to hijack the thread. 3. English is the only permitted language anywhere on ASEAN NOW, except within the Thai language forum, where using Thai is allowed. Short Thai translations of technical terms are permitted in specialty forums.

Coccoon is using: 1. "The invincible ignorance fallacy,[1] also known as argument by pigheadedness,[2] is a deductive fallacy of circularity where the person in question simply refuses to believe the argument, ignoring any evidence given. It is not so much a fallacious tactic in argument as it is a refusal to argue in the proper sense of the word. The method used in this fallacy is either to make assertions with no consideration of objections or to simply dismiss objections by calling them excuses, conjecture, etc. or saying that they are proof of nothing, all without actually demonstrating how the objection fit these terms. It is similar to the ad lapidem fallacy, in which the person rejects all the evidence and logic presented, without providing any evidence or logic that could lead to a different conclusion." 2. Appeal to the stone, also known as argumentum ad lapidem, is a logical fallacy that dismisses an argument as untrue or absurd. The dismissal is made by stating or reiterating that the argument is absurd, without providing further argumentation. This theory is closely tied to proof by assertion due to the lack of evidence behind the statement and its attempt to persuade without providing any evidence. 1

I get it... the law posts are too difficult for you to understand. It can be complicated with all the terminology. Especially where they intersect.

There isn't really a reason to engage him. I looked at his previous posts and he is a troll. For example with a guy trying to learn how to make friends with Thai men: "It’s impossible for farang men to make friends with Thai men. You gotta keep in mind that farang men are frustrated losers; overweight, bald, and fast aging moaners and complainers who have a superiority issue and are into dark farm girls." He posts nothing substantive and helpful on topics and just uses inflammatory posts to instigate. He does not act in good-faith. You could literally show him Thai male friends or copy and paste the law as I have.... and he'd be the same as he posts now. I'm not sure which is worse, he is a troll or actually believes what he says. 1

There are mitigating/aggravating circumstances for most every law. E.g. if a law has a penalty between 3-10 years how does the judge decide how many years to give? As I posted things like previous arrest record, mental capacity, addiction, and intent all can be mitigating or aggravating factors. You wouldn't give the same sentence to a mentally handicapped 20 year old first offender that didn't know or understand as you would to a 50 year old multiple time offender that methodically grooms and searches for victims. The judge uses mitigating and aggravating factors to determine the sentence. If they didn't, how would they decide? Random? A mitigating circumstance doesn't mean you aren't guilty. Even if there is a mitigating circumstance they are measured against the aggravating factors so doesn't guarantee a lower sentence. 1
RafPinto Posted November 4, 2022 Posted November 4, 2022 On 11/1/2022 at 3:44 PM, it is what it is said: why would anyone pay for sex? I don't. I have as many i want. They especially like my "moustache". 2

I take your point, but I was playing devils advocate. If for the sake of argument the 2 guys really thought the girls were of legal age and they had been led to believe that with corroborating evidence, then the court would look at that mitigating evidence before determining a sentence. Personally as i have said before the available evidence makes them look guilty, it was a 'What If' scenario! Edited November 4, 2022 by mikeymike100
