Let's be careful out there, keep an eye open at your kid's school for a dodgy looking farang sipping coffee opposite the school gates..

Are they really your kids? 
Or are “looking after” someone else’s?

With 94,000 posts on here that would be a fair assessment.

I can;t remember the names of many of the TV mods, because I stopped paying attention to it years ago. I only came back more recently for the visa advice (ironically), which has been excellent here, IMO. Regarding other parts of the board, aside from Cheryl, there was another senior female Mod who was very good (as in 'moderate'), but can't remember her name.

He pays a 4 to pretend to be his wife then looks after another man's kids

 70,000 stupid posts on here about nothing. That's his life.

Talking of stupid posts, that one is a gem........

Personally, I would ban any forum member from the USA.  That would eliminate 99% of the bickering and trolls.  Apologies to the 1% who don't bicker - perhaps you could claim to be from Canada.....

I'm sure that would do wonders for the sites traffic. Banning Americans might make the terrorist lovers happy but it would lower the intellectual level here

When are you going to use your Goat username again, I don't know why you stopped.

Was it you got buried too many times.....?    🤔

Not sure why you think I am a goat, but I am happy to go along with it.

I disagree, I think it's still an incredibly forum, I think there are a lot of knowledgeable and articulate members who post valuable information and I think it's always been forum for us to vent and complain. However I think the real difference is that MAGA has made many people more divisive and they have reduced a lot of supporters to being gullible whiners and snowflakes. 

Of course we have you, always ready to steal somebody else's words and claim as your own.

What is wrong with non Americans starting or commenting on Trump.  He has a disproportionate impact on non Americans.

In world events yeah, not domestic issues like social security and illegal immigration, but some are so obsessed by the guy that they make it part of their everyday lives.

One poster, along with many posts, removed for multiple flames and insults.

Please be polite and civil to other forum members.

This has definitely made the forum worse, feels like North Korea now.

“Personally”, “Just My Opinion”…many here lack the ability to take individual posts on their own merit and develop grudges toward individual profiles & triggered to contradict without clear thought, thereby lacking concept. Quite childish.

You mean the stalkers that follow people from topic to topic to insult them personally?

You lefties are the biggest sooks and haters. Fact.

Interesting to note that in elementary school curricula at International Schools in Thailand, English classes spend significant study time on learning the difference between fact and opinion.

 

I guess some individuals in their dotage enter into a phase called "second childhood" or maybe they just never learned the distinction.

You mean the correct way as opposed to the Trump deranged, terrorist supporting, America hating and anti-Semitic posts seen from the same bunch of haters all the time

We all knew you are not the brightest light in the garden shed, so you even missed the point that it is YOU who stalks others continuously with those insults.

It's a good joke (I guess, though a bit obvious) but the problem is that for many of the geezers here it is exactly what they think.

See, there you go again stalking. I dare say if you go through all of our interactions 90% of the time that you just stalking me with an insult. You still have a lot of questions unanswered though, I noticed that you love to insult to someone asks you a question outside of your warped worldview

Meaning you, as a member, can't start a new news topic with a news link in Thailand News or World News - those are AN forum rules.

Not complaining, just noticed ever since Thai Visa changed to AN, there is just more complaining and bickering in most posts, mostly from MAGA supporters, not all of course. Years ago, there was information about visas, some of them passed away(RIP), but now it is only about Trump or the USA Why? The world has billions of people a lot of posters are sceptical about Indians, Chinese, and Russians or making stupid remarks about other nationalities. Why is that ? I guess this post isn't going to last a long time, but this is only my opinion.

This whole thread is proof positive that the site has become little more a refuge for dozy cnuts that have nothing better to do than discuss the disaster that is the US of Asshats.

You must be from a really important and Wealthy country in Europe. Most of the vile anti-American garbage you see posted here started after Trump told Europe they would have to pay their own way and they had a screaming hissy fit. How dare you ask us to pay our own way.

Yeah, he was a complete plonker.

His nickname around Pattaya was Brownfinger.

I wouldn't be so harsh.Actually I quite admire his Energizer bunny enthusiasm,The trouble is he is a prime example of the The Dunning-Kruger effect, ie a cognitive bias in which people wrongly overestimate their knowledge or ability in a specific area. This tends to occur because a lack of self-awareness prevents them from accurately assessing their own skills.I also confess to sometimes watching his D- About T- vids which quite unintentionally are often screamingly funny.Also I'm no snob but he needs to do something about that accent.
