Huey Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) Personally I usually find threads with the following common themes ridiculous; I I'm about to marry some peasant bar girl from Whatdaphukaburi but she is different, she loves me for who I am even though...... a. She's a prostitute b. She has 3 kids and wants 500,000 baht sin sot c. She doesn't speak any other language than Thai (and I don't speak Thai) d. I'm older than her grandfather II The term "Farang" and the following tangents.... a. I think the term Farang is racist and I'm insulted when they call me one b. How come I can't just be Khun (insert ignorant farang's name here)? I'll never be accepted as one of the family I'm forever the "farang"....*sob* *sob* *whimper* III The Red shirts are just the down trodden poor, that have been done wrong, and I support them. (Enough Said) IV How much should I give my GF monthly while I'm away? V How much Sin Sot should I pay? Edited July 31, 2010 by Huey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atmos Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 agree with Huey. The answer is Yes you should marry your hi-so Chinese-Thai girl from a village you met in a Pattaya bar where she is completing her Masters degree, and pay her millions of sin-sod. She obviously loves you. Case closed. I avoid anything to do that starts with 'why don't Thai . . . ', "why can't Thai ....' anything relationship or race-related. They may start with good intent but very soon deteriorate to the same old garbage printed here ad nauseum. Do the OPs ever actually learn anything from these inane discussions? Personally I feel the quality/interest level of this forum has deteriorated in past 6 months. I am not a huge contributor admittedly, but I look at 'new content' with despair sometimes, and it's on to other sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Familyonthemove Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Yes .... the silly Red v Yellow pointless arguments where neither party will ever change their viewpoint. But on a positive note .... the quality of the posts in the motor forums are usually excellent with helpful info and tips. I learnt a lot about buying and riding a bike in Thailand from this forum.

BUT it's the people like yourself that make the forum, the only difference to other forums is how the Mods work. As for ads, l have never read one on Tv, except a motoring one cos of a topic, ( but l won't go there ). That is why i post on other forums as i find the people far more approachable and helpful.On here i find that me and some friends,find it so hard to make friends and relax in conversation.I come on here instead of reading the local thai papers,but the quality of nice people is very low,many showoffs on here.

Shuguk Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Ridiculous thread? One with ridiculous responses to ridiculous posts......... `One with ridiculous responses` would be my answer. Some VERY silly replies to threads here when people are looking for serious and important (to them) answers and opinions. I`ve tried to start serious threads.....some worked but one particular one was taken over by a <deleted> on post No 2, and never recovered (the rest of the dickheads jumped in). A forum for dickheads would be an idea but how do you run it? Shug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilHarries Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Any thread that talks bucking follocks. So that's 90% of this forum wiped out. If you don't like the thread don't visit it, don't reply to it. If you intensely dislike a television program do you watch it? For some, it seems, the answer is yes.

bifftastic Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I don't know about ridiculous, as others have suggested anything can be ridiculed and some members here take great delight in doing so. What does annoy me though is when someone starts what should or could be a debate and two or three people take it off into some odd tangent about their pre-conceived ideas that a) won't change anyway B ) are nothing to do with the OP and c) bore everyone else shitless and prevent the OP from developing into a decent informative read. There are many good threads on this forum and it has helped me in many ways, but some threads are just nonsense, not perhaps in the beginning but they rapidly descend into childish bickering.
