Overstayers

[KhaoHom]

While there has always been overstayers - I have a theory on the dregs of what Thailand has let in as of these past few years.

 

There is an increasing exponentially a massive number of rootless, jobless and penniless individuals. UK, EU many of them are possibly on the dole. In the US we generally speaking do not give able bodied white people money to lay about although I've met my fair share of bull<deleted> disability recipients here.

 

The theory:

 

These people are in general lazy and not inclined to follow rules to begin with. In fact many of them are petty criminals.

 

There is little interest to follow the rules and laws of the nation than to keep oneself legal both in reporting and in matters of their visa and/or extensions. They simply don't care I have always walked the borderline between employment and unemployment, freedom and incarceration.

 

This lot arrives and realizes the hassle and cost of staying legal. The decision is that made simply to stay on until they are caught. They will pay a maximum fine of $20,000 b and sent on their way.

 

The penalty of being blacklisted is of no consequence to these individuals because they never have/had any intention of returning anyway.

 

They are probably on a one shot lark to bum around outside their country. If the opportunity were to present itself again which they are inclined not to believe it will they will simply find another country and do something similar.

 

The world is changing

Twice this week someone has made claims of an 'exponential increase' of something. First it was obesity, now it's overstayers. Just opinions and flowery language, or is there data?

Growth must follow a precise rule to be called exponential.

Just because something is growing doesn’t mean it’s exponential.

Many things look exponential at first but level off quickly 

 

But it always sounds good to say exponential growth.

It doesn't 'sound good' to those who actually understand what exponential growth is. It sounds like exaggeration in order to sensationalize the topic.

555...... How many people on here understand exponential growth do you think?

Good question. Probably very few, including the OP. With time, the number of people capable of understanding such things is exponentially decreasing.

Exponent of times a quantity that is multiplied by itself probably isn’t a component of overstayers. Maybe more like a multitude of a fraction of a static.

 What a strange comment.

Looks like yet another trolling anti-white westerner thread zeroing in on the US and Europe. No mention of scamming Chinese hoards or penniless Indians that camp on the beach at night instead of having a hotel room and bring electric rice cookers with batteries so the can cook outside... not even a mention of dodgy Russians evading the draft and trying anything and everything to stay, legally or not. 

 

Nice try at trolling though, give you that... but ultimately a fail.

They are all over Cambodia. PP is loaded with them, easiest city in Asia for scum to get lost in. Get some in Siem Reap too, but they get too visible and leave or get caught. The abundance of ketamine in Cambo helps add to the crowd.

Just how many fat over stayers are there?

 

The second quote ( below because I am unable to insert it above) rather reveals the prism through which the discussion is framed!

What is exponentially increasing is the assumptions made here daily, made up stats, figures to make some look like they're well informed when it's just a guess, topics about foreigners in a thinly veiled way of putting them down, along with a lot of biased  opinions.

Yes, it should have appeared under the name Khao Hom. I'm not quite sure what happened there. Sorry!

Are Russians considered dodgy just because they evade the draft? It’s not the first time I’ve seen Westerners accuse them of this. Do you really think that makes them morally inferior to you? Would you respect them more if they went off to kill Ukrainians instead? Or you just don’t care and use this accusation without giving it any thought?
