Pangea?

^vikings were First lads in North America...

Actually it was Asians ...

I believe that post from britmaveric was based on the other post from mizzi39 who was replying to megamik by asserting that the Vikings were the first pale-faces to N.A. and thus the rest of the Europeans rode on their tailshirts. On the other hand; how long did those Scandinavians last?

^great rape and pillagers though.

Boy has this thread gone to shit...

And now even mentioning the Native Americans..geeze... that's gettin' deep.

Now, it is bad enough to be bashed by our cousins across the pond, but someone from a Scandinavian country? The three Scandinavians I know living here in the LOS receive a "disability" check every month for somewhere around 100,000 baht, because they have dry skin and an alcohol problem. The US and Britain have huge (illegal) immigration problems and that is where the stringent rules come into play. Before over generalizing get your facts straight.

I am to get my facts straight? What you just brought up with disability check for Swedish people is just a myth, lies and maybe history in the past +25 years ago.

It is possible to cheat your way through the Swedish social wellfare system but not to that degree of claiming dry skin or even alcoholic problem.

That comment from you is just fiction and to mention 100 000 TBH is also false, there's a limit how much disability money you get in Sweden and its half or less what you mentioned.

This is off topic so I won't dwelve in it more, I just wish that people wouldn't write so much nonsense what they know nothing about.

I agree with another poster, Thailand are in fact more generous than most other countries with visa and work permits.

To say that the US have illegal immigration problems, well isn't that the problem you have been struggling with ever since you stole the land from the indians?

I am not anti american, only that I don't listen to the bs that especially US politicians, news channels spread around.

Sorry to say, many americans, too many, do believe in that crap.

Oh, yes, I think you truly do listen to a lot of BS that news channels spread around, so i will not get into a pissing contest with you. You mentioned that you were Scandinavian. I may not be the smartest tool in the shed, but Scandinavia is a region, and not limited to Sweden, but Norway, and Denmark as well. Sorry if i missed a few other countries.

The dry skin and alcoholism was meant to be a joke. The disability check is no joke, since i know 3 expats here who may be milking your system, for very arbitrary "conditions" but according to them this is business as usual in their country (Norway in particular). Wish it was that easy in the US, but i work here in the LOS, so mai bpen rai. The US is made up of immigrants. We are not a "race" as so many would like to believe, and the US did not become the biggest super power that the world has ever known by trying to colonize the rest of you.

You can hate our politics, policies and politicians, many Americans surely speak out against them, but remember The whole EU has their hands in our cookie jar for their own self serving reasons.

I find it comical that so many non Americans know so much about our history, policies, politics, politicians, etc. but most Americans don't even know who your leaders are. Not because we are sooooo ignorant, it is just we do not give a rats ass. What has Scandinavia even done for the US or any other nation? We don't ride your coat tails.

Sorry for being off topic.

You are right about Scandinavia, it conscists of Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

We do have similar rules in the terms of social and medical safety nets allthough, you are correct we aren't one country.

The reply I posted that started this discussion was about, Thailand do have generous visa rules compared to most other countries.

I can only speak for myself and I have never been treated bad when entering Thailand or any other country apart from when entering the US.

I find it to be very strange americans expects to be treated very good, even better than any other, when arriving to Thailand or any other country for that matter.

I surely hope all people in the world would be treated fairly but it's not up to me, is it?

Now, I won't write more replies as the subject has gone sour, it's a kids playground now.

Dragging in EU in the discussion did not bring anything into it, just a childish play.

Sorry you had a bad experience when entering the US. US officials don't always treat their own with kindness and i am sure your treatment had nothing to do with being Scandinavian. As far as "Americans" expecting to be treated "better" than any other falang here, well I can only speak for myself. Reading your post, i can assume that you are a tourist or a newbie to the LOS.

The OP is obviously an American, but his ignorance has nothing to do with where he originates from. Ignorance is prevalent in all falang races, no matter what part of the globe they are from. Most all falang "races" are looked upon "same same" in the eyes of Thais, so when one of us f**ks up, well it gives us ALL a bad name, regardless of where you are from.. Yes, some are entitled, and others (including this American), being an expat with a family here, learns to bite his tongue and go with the flow. This being a forum is a good place to vent.

And talking about childish play? Welcome to TV.

[phetaroi]

What I find...well, not sure if it's funny or ironic...about this thread is:

People on this forum moan and groan about Thailand not being consistent and following their own laws, etc.

Then, when Thailand becomes more consistent with following their own laws, they complain.
