I'm thinking some here don't understand what leftist politics really means, and only dismiss them because they are full on right thinking, which has been proven to be wrong in some things.It's always best to research the real meaning of something before a stance is taken against it............https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-wing_politics.

That's way too much to read.  BUT .. I read enough, and get the gist, I think, with this statement...

 

"According to emeritus professor of economics Barry Clark, supporters of left-wing politics "claim that human development flourishes when individuals engage in cooperative, mutually respectful relations that can thrive only when excessive differences in status, power, and wealth are eliminated."

 

Sounds like a communist, socialist state to me.   I don't want to be equal, I want to thrive on my achievement & income.  I like my toys.   They are not excessive, they were earned.

 

So, can you answer my question, instead if pointing me to wiki ?

 

Who is not treated equally ?

[Harrisfan]

We should be able to discuss Thailand without western politics being brought up. One of the reasons I like Thailand is the ability to zone out and forget the west.

Well duh, most folks research that too. If you dont understand who the author of a book is, how can you evaluate their arguments?

By reading more than one book on a particular subject. One could be opinion, as more can also. Some are biased and some write on actual facts and not their personal opinions.

[save the frogs]

why do emojis bother you so much?

Far left thinking isn't the same as left thinking. Going to an extreme on any side is where mistakes are made. If you read all of it, it's easier to understand their motives, and why. Looking at the world, it's easy to see who isn't being treated equally. Looking at just Thailand, it's obvious to see women are not treated equally, as an example.

I'm thinking it's you who does not know. The democrats were hijacked by a radical left agenda and this was and still is pushed by MSM and was the reason the Dems were soundly defeated in the election. Moderate or centralist left voters went for Trump because they felt abandoned by the Democratic Party and viewed Trump as a better option. This even went for politicians that abandoned the Democratic Party examples being RFK Jnr and Tulsi Gabbard; two high profile ones. Of course Musk also went to Trump. They all said the same thing. "The left left us".

I miss the olden days when I could hover over a feedback emoji and tell who sent it.

 

The only emoji I use is "Like"  Or none at all.

Let's see how man sad emojis turn up from the miserable people.

 

 

Grown men concerning themselves about emojis is tragically sad.

 

I have never used them and don’t even notice them.

 

More of a thing that preteen girls would worry about.

 

Most western men are not men anymore.

I doubt it would be an issue amongst male Thai adults.

Khun LA, he states excessive. That doesn't mean that everyone has to have exactly the same amount. 

I think that's a fine line.   I their excess are earned, and within the law, then acceptable.   And I'm not naive enough to realize, there are people with excess power and such, and wield it for personal benefit.

 

But aside from that, what other excesses are we, not allowed to have, that were earned.  He's yet to answer my query ... who is treated unequal ?

 

I try to avoid avoid labels, and the definition of are usually quite silly.  I'm a Yank, and I don't see the inequality that those see and complain about in the USA.

 

Can't comment about other countries.

 

Women in TH, wield a lot of control, like many countries, in the family life, that men won't admit to.   Happy wife is a happy life, comes to mind.

I did a recent post and got confused emojis and I thought ..why? Then I realised I wrote JFK Jnr instead of RFK Jnr. And my whole post was a bit here and there. So the feedback is fine.

I don't like the lying down man laughing emoji as it's often used to say - I am so clever and my come back is so witty and amusing and it is self evident I am correct. When usually it isn't. 

I think Yagoda is upset by emojis as he mentions them alot. Harrisfan too.

Can you explain why women are “equal” ? 
 

I think you may have been brainwashed, maybe you were brought up by a single mother or only had sisters? 
 

And how does this lack of “equality” affect the daily lives of Thai women?

 

Or does it help them living in a reality? 
 

Thailand ranks second globally for women represented in senior management, with the highest percentage of female chief financial officers and the third-highest rate of female chief executives, according to a recent report.

Women it TH is not a left or right issue, it's a male dominance issue.  It's a work in progress.  

 

I was thinking more 1st world equality, and don't see any inequality, except the ones those complaining about inequality, tend to ignore.

I do know. I read up on subjects without taking sides, to see what is real and what is BS. The reason the Dems lost is because they had a weak candidate. Trump was already in office and did some good, and there will always be people who worship the rich, so voters voted for the lesser of two evils, as even Trump supporters know what kind of character he is. That he has the power to change things, along with his team, is what his voters, and the Dem voters, are waiting to see. I've seen BS since Kennedy and what promises are kept, and it's always the same. Infighting is what's killing America.

You really do not know much about men in general, and that statement shows it profoundly. Thinking the locals here act like real men is a clincher. A real man looks at women,and girls, as their equals. Boys think differently, as they haven't the maturity to understand the difference between a partner and an object to use.

[SMIAI]

It's a ridiculous question Khun LA. The poor are exploited. Their utility bills and taxes for housing take a far bigger percentage of their income. Impacting their lives and even depriving them of the basics of accommodation. Without representation they are often exploited. The rich stealing from the poor. What does being treated equally mean to you?

You just sound like Mr "I'm alright" Jack. Often, the way to riches is by exploiting someone else. I don't do that.

I'm thinking your dad thought the same as you do. I was raised by two parents, both who did what they needed to do. One brother, so stop your daily assumptions. Lack of equality here has local men thinking women are for only certain things, and yes, western "men" think the same also, at least some of them. Buddhism has men looking at women as inferior from the get go, so that follows in the rest of their lives. Anyone can adjust to a ":reality" although it's a wrong reality. Slavery is easy to practice if you have people who haven't been taught there's another side.

Again, it comes down to choices.  A lot of people born into poverty, myself as an example, chose not to be poor.  Live with our choice.   

 

My wife's family were all born into poverty.  All very successful, by choice and hard work.  My Thai ex wife's family, born into poverty, all self sufficient, by choice.

 

Nobody needs to be poor, in TH or the USA, my only 2 reference points, but seems almost worldwide.   If you don't like your 'station' in life .... change it.

Oh, I am neither miserable nor sad. I just left you 1 sad, because it looks like you were asking for them. Just want to make you happy.

After that, an explanation seems to be in order. As the forum has emojis that can be used, they are supposed to be, and works as an option to give instead of a text message. They actually all have a meaning. Why are you not complaining about the heart, thanks and thumbs up emojis? Only the sad have gotten your attention. have you been getting many? Ok, that might mean your posts and replies are not liked and appreciated by many members. I know, I get them sometimes too as I often make very different and controversial comments. However, it´s really nothing that bothers me. Having such thin skin, it´s not advisable to be out in such harsh environment as an online forum.

Yes, there a number of sad little haters on Asean. They get a little kick by posting a sad emoji..."I showed him, muahahaha", it's pretty sad really.

Who complains? The Trump Hate Madness sufferers who get offended when you set forth the truth, or ask them to justify, with facts and or questions, their foul and vile putrid hate spews against Trump, Jews, America, Western Civilization, etc?

 

I view sad/confused emojis as both a badge of honour and, in the case of confused ones,  indicative of the utter stupidity of a human who could be confused by simple statements. 

 

However, in view of the Mob nature of the Socialists, Sock puppets and Trolls, it is interesting to note that certain folks here get together in emoji campaigns...I call them the Emojinauts. Watch and see.

Didn't you report people to the mods and were called out for it so, hmmm, I guess it's you your talking too

I see inequality here daily, with just one example being how my girlfriend, and her female coworkers is treated by those she works for, as slaves to pour their drinks, witht hem giving orders when they aren't fast enough. These are men who were raised by fathers who did the same exact things, and this will continue for generations, as long as women here allow it to happen.

Well obviously. Thus for example, f you want to understand the present Ukraine conflict, your reading list should be a minimum of 20-30 reputable history and analyses

That's how you learn more about any subject, as much of what is written is opinions, some of which can be wrong. It doesn't have to be a certain amount but a few that are fact based and unbiased.

How do you expect him to answer your question to your satisfaction. There are very many who are not treated equally. The poor bear the burden.

Folks are poor because they want to be.

[SMIAI]

Sorry Khun LA, but that is just nonsense. That's like me posting here that I don't pay for women, but the women pay for me. Not everyone is going to have the same experience and me suggesting that everyone should will only serve to rile people up.

Try to get out of your little box mindset in order to understand that you were greatly privileged  in the USA. Having opportunities that are not afforded to everyone. All that fiat money floating around. Now you can sit in Thailand and lord it up. Privileged. Get it?
