  • Excellent point. The majority of the politics being discussed is American politics and the majority of the guys discussing it aren't American.

  • I think you'll find most of these guys to be Brits or Aussies. So they're firing off another paragraph about a country they never lived in.

  • According to happiness surveys the least happy people are centreists followed by lefties. Conservatives are the happiest people on the planet. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/23311886.20

Angry posts indicate

1 unhappiness

2 laziness

3 male centreist or lefty

That seems to be a very accurate description of yourself!

but there is probably a reason they no longer call themselves Thai Visa.

maybe it's too narrow and wanted to broaden their scope beyond discussion of visas.

As they explained at the time they expanded their coverage from just Thailand to the ASEAN region, and as you say took the emphasis away from just visas.

Right. Got to be depressed, impotence, no social lives and some type of obsessed disorder.

Such a bizarre thing to see.
I don't know many Americans who give a squat about anyone else's Gov. other than to laugh at them

Thats quite interesting, since Usa have intervened 250 time in 100 countries since 1976, and you wonder why we are concerned about American politics?

What you say above, is a brave claim, ignorant at its best.

When it comes to sex and sex drive, 5 times a week, a 15 - 30 minutes, sometimes on date days, a bit longer. What to do the rest of the week ? :D

Here is an valid source of all wars, interventions, and conflicts Usa had since 1798 until 2023

Yes Sir, you're post is ignorant.
Theres a saying that quite a truism,
You can argue with someones opinion but, you can not argue with their experience.

I gave no opinion, you on the other hand provided nothing but opinion. Much of it not even related to the post you quoted. You knew that though.

Lots of Americans do discuss it. Three or four of the leading leftists are American.

Give us a hint who these leftist Americans are. Not I, as I'm in the middle. I see many on both sides, but even many of Trump's critics are not politically left. Both sides have good and bad ideas, as long as it's not extreme, so labeling anyone a leftist unless they've proclaimed themselves as such is wrong.

When every single post is anti-Trump and every single thing Trump does is bad, I guess.

True, but many Republican minded people dislike Trump. I never liked him, but some things he's done are okay. Others are way out there, including his basic character.

Especially by you with our total MAGA controlled adoring comments/posts wrt to Trump!

This topic of his is pretty good. Fairly accurate too for the old leftists and centreists. I've never seen a forum so packed with negative people.

Some of them are members redux, already having been banned and now returned.

The person you are addressing with your message has had at least 6-7 banned accounts AFAIK and now returned again.

The real reason that section is so popular is pretty obvious if you think about it. Most of the soapy diehards are older guys who have quietly run out of enjoyable things to do. The sex drive has evaporated, social circles have greatly shrunk, and hobbies faded away twenty years ago. So what is left? Politics. The perfect topic because it never ends, never resolves, and never requires anyone to agree on anything or admit they are wrong. You can argue about it forever and still feel like you are doing something important while actually achieving nothing at all

I wonder if the most negative don't drive or ride a motorbike. Sitting in a condo 7 days a week is pretty boring and does not help with a positive mindset. Their daily routine is 10 to 20 hate spews at Trump or Israel and 20 negative emojis. That is a sad life. I always find the positive people in Thailand are outdoors doing stuff.

I've never said a negative thing about Trump or Israel. Negative people are just projecting.

Unless of course the ‘negative stuff’ about Trump and Israel is factually correct.

Most of it is subjective drivel written by people who have never studied economics and are biased against Jews.

There’s plenty of negative stuff about Trump that has nothing at all to do with economics, just as there is much to criticize Israel over that has nothing to do with Jews (a fact demonstrated by the number of Jews who criticize Israel’s crimes in Gaza, the West Bank and the Israeli/US illegal war on Iran).

Leftist Jews. Marx was a leftist Jew who became a Christian. He hated rich Jews. Marxist Jews are just as bad as Marxist Christians. Terrorists attack Israel no word fron the Marxists. Israel fires back too strong they say. Marxists don't live in the real world. They live a life based on paper ideas. Life is easy on paper. Does not work in reality.

It is entirely possible to hold views on a wide variety of matters, international, domestic, home country, political and social, and to post on and discuss them.

I dont see that as evidence of boredom, declining sex drive or fading hobbies.

I am an active member of this forum. I have a number of hobbies, interests and occupations, which keep me busy. My sex life is my own business, and whilst it could not be described as spectacular, I do "jog along" and am in a happy relationship.

Of course, perhaps the OPs evident irritation is because [eople do not neccessarily agree with him...

That is because you are incapable of independent thought and MUST toe the MAGA doctrinal line!

For me, the endless bickering about non-Thai politics has diluted the value of AN.

I joined ThaiVisa/AN for Thailand related information and discussion, and if I was interested, I could read informed political debate on many other sites dedicated to international affairs.

The various foruums dedicated to Thailand related information and discussion are clearly identified by the titles, as are those which deal with politics and current affairs: so ignore one and follow the other?

Good in theory but the good topics get ruined by the Marxists. Most good posters either died or quit.

Female right wingers are the happiest

Followed by male right wingers.

Male lefties and male centreists are miserable.

Explains all the sad old men in Thailand!

Self-report of happiness?

Maybe more complicated than its seems at first glance.
