This Forum Really Down The Chitter

[Ajarn]

I get pissed off when:

Someone says they love Thailand but wish this or that was like it is at home. If home was so good YOU would not be in Thailand!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I think there are very few TV members who have said that they wish certain aspects of Thailand were like home (although I haven't read every post on here). There have been complaints about Thailand and suggestions of how some problems could be solved, but that would be the case in any country, would it not? In my case, any compaints about Thailand and Thais are minimal compared to the complaints I would have about Britain and Brits if I was still there (God forbid).

Maybe once DeDanan moves to a foreign country, he will soften his stance....

I'm also in the 'love it or leave it' camp, but, for me, that simply means that one should live where they feel happiest, wherever that is... And escape any place where you feel too unhappy.

I have said many times that I wish Thailand:

Had San Francisco sourdough bread... like California

Had cleaner rivers, lakes, and waterways to swim in... like California

Didn't indescrimimately burn down their forests... like California

Had better food safety inspections... like California...

Do I want to live in California? No.

I have the resources to live anywhere in the world I choose. I chose Thailand because it has the balances of quality of life I desire... And the night scene doesn't even play into my considerations.

Balance is the key. For me, the plusses outweigh the negatives... If that ever changes, I'll move on to a better place for me...

Although with the word Goddamn, you must be a sceptic, so the good stuffs probably still there, just way over your head. I for one think the forum is useful,funny,sometimes

Hey Lam10, if you meant septic as in seppo, don't throw him off onto us.  I don't claim him.

I'm aware of the English spelling. It allows me to setup a joke. I'm poking fun at The Dude and I do so because I'm certain he's a big boy and can take it.

No as in sceptic tank-yank

Lampard,

If you're going to insult someone, at least spell the offending word correctly - septic tank = yank.

A sceptic tank? Dunno! Perhaps a Panzer unsure of the benefits of going to war.

Scouse.

My 2 Satangs worth are:

The Posts can vary from day to day, sometimes there can be some very interesting topics posted, at other times the top 10 topics on any particular forum may not be as interesting as those a few days earlier.

For Me, I can always find something interesting to read.

I do't see why it should be any different for you the Original Poster here.

I was surprised that you had a go at Pedar's Avitar post. The guy just wants to help out other members, you too (but am sure he would not now).

As many other Posters have intimated, you are probably a Troll, here to cause trouble and waste our time.

If you ain't then GET A LIFE, choose the posts you like or go have a beer or 20 and come back in three or four days when you have sobered up.

Your whole post revolves around what was around when you posted and that's STUPID

you may be right , but there are only so many things you can discuss about LOS over the years without running out of ideas of what to discuss.

Then there is censorship which means more contentious items cant be discussed.

However if you are not happy with the situation you could start your own very interesting topics and we will all join in

The forum is run, like it or not, in a very deliberate fashion.

Many posters incur the wrath of the moderators and find their posting rights restricted.

Many other recognisable members can troll or post crap but they seem to survive OK.

Whatever the view point, the forum, for all it's percieved flaws, still attracts a large number of visitors everyday.

Therefore we should accept that in it's present format it is successful!

Find another forum if you don't like this one.

He hasn't replied to his own topic yet. Has he fallen in?
