i loled at this thread. got to be kidding dude . . i think you had stayed in thailand so long that you have adapted to their "afraid of losing face" mindset

on a serious side, some tvers seems to be pure arrogant know-it-all arsehol_e based on their replies, but believe me, them most of them are the funniest hippies in earth, like some who i met.

This forum is ALREADY quite strictly moderated. You want people to be forced to show even MORE restraint? I reckon that would NOT be popular.

If you're afraid, just deal with it. Post anyway. If someone abuses you over the line (read the forum rules) then please REPORT them with the report button. Otherwise, just filter out posts that offend you or don't matter to you, just as in ... REAL LIFE.

No

Fear

Here.

(Perhaps grow a pair? )

What does this mean, to grow a pair? Sorry.

Durian. Grow some durian and sell it. Work permit not necessary.

Post of the week. Thank you.

Thats correct .... it's that because a lot of people are right they are "bashing" people ...........

that's exactly how National Socialism started in Germany

From the OP to National Socialism.That's some going....

a godwin... never thought id see one here.

I'm picturing some of these guys as ex-military types who just like to hurt people for no reason at all.

I would also point out that you create the world you live in and this post is a perfect example ...... You make a contreversial topic about hostility , naturally their are going to be hostile posts and you should know that , so then you can complain later about the posts that are hostile ...... Who created all that ? You did ..... So complaining about the world you created for yourself and blaming it on everyone else is just more nonsense.

You might think you are being clever or fooling people by baiting them into it but it's not clever and it's not fooling anyone .......... except you might possibly be fooling yourself

Your post was another lefthanded way to draw people into the world you created so you can say ..... see I told you so ..... But it's you who created it so the last person who should be complaing about getting what they wanted is YOU.

Your post was also designed to be able to insult people and try and come off as the victum , like your last post about people hurting people ...... You may not even understand what you are doing but I do

Now I know why I married my wife, she doesnt whinge, she doesnt have balls, she hasnt got a chip on her shoulders, so life is sweet!

Does she has an off button? Or does she deflate herself gradually?

Meaning?

Does she also have a remote control ?

That is very personal dont you think, we dont discuss our sex lives on the forum!

I bet the house you are in the minority. However, that isn't a topic that would be allowed for me to start a poll about. Though I would like to.

I'm sorry, I found it on Urban Dictionary! I get it. Funny. Yes, I suppose I could try that.

grow a pair here means join the masses in the communal bashing when they get their hands on someone they feel is weak

I don't see anything growing in that

Except the number of <deleted>

<deleted> n balls.....I hear the language of love..

Actually there are some great characters on TV. You can sense them a mile off.

Well, I live and learn. I had to google Godwin and it's so true. Godwin's Law

Imposing the majority's opinion by force is totalitarian

Totalitarianism is what led to fascism

Totalitarianism (or totalitarian rule) is a political system where the state recognizes no limits to its authority and strives to regulate every aspect of public and private life wherever feasible.^[1] Totalitarian regimes stay in political power through an all-encompassingpropaganda campaign, which is disseminated through the state-controlled mass media, a single party that is often marked by political repression, personality cultism, control over the economy, regulation and restriction of speech, mass surveillance, and widespread use ofterror.

The concept of totalitarianism was first developed in a positive sense in the 1920s by the Italian fascists. The concept became prominent in Western anti-communist political discourse during the Cold War era in order to highlight perceived similarities between Nazi Germanyand other fascist regimes on the one hand, and Soviet communism on the other.^{[2][3][4][5][6]}

Thats a new one on me as well Rob and you are quite correct!

OP I am not afraid to post either. Some good un's out there ready to give good advice and assistance.

I don't fear it, but I expect it. Reading some posts here can really make one realize how smart they are.

I think it's a result of the kind of person that often ends up in a place like Thailand . Failed at home, looking to be a big fish in a little pond, likes how easy it is to get a lovely young maiden to stare lovingly into his eyes and touch his naughty bits. Not all mind you, but many. That's just the men. Don't get me started on the women...

A common error prevalent a few years ago was for the resident bullies & their cohorts to assume that all new posters were like all new kids at school ie younger than the bullies & with no experience in whatever they were commenting about, resulting in them (the bullies) having carte blance in ripping posts to shreds & blatantly gloating while doing so. Anyone who dared to challenge these posters were set upon by the pack "you've only got xx posts/been here xx weeks" & in extreme cases found themselves suspended.

In my experience the average poster is middle aged with a full work record in his chosen field with perhaps a business here too & is therefore far from an idiot. A substantial number of residents are silent visitors to this site because they have been shot down in the past.

TV of late does seem to have sorted it's act out but if the OP is saying it's still going on they need to keep at it.

Yeah, probably not a fair characterization, actually, at all. It might be quite the opposite. I think they have this expression in English 'gentle giants' like this. I guess I'm picturing some of these guys as bullees.

Fascism has such an impact in our world that it is obvious that it get referred to often.

Call it Godwin because that guy was the 1st one to point it out, if you like, it is not changing the argumentation

Very true, and that's how I feel. This happened to me yesterday. I plan to just be more of a reader, as I've been in the past years. I feel like you really only 'get to' comment if you agree with the flow of the conversation. It's like sitting in a wine bar with friends. You only open your mouth to comment if you have something to say in agreement.

Some of the women can be bullies as well, therefore I am happy to have the "military types" around for protection

Sometimes i get carried away in my posting if the topic is interesting. But that makes it fun too. I think general is a harder part of the forum then the sub forums. A lot of good information is found there.

P.s i never been in the army in my life, when my nr came up they abolished the draft in the Netherlands.

Again I don't get what you are saying. You talk about 'imposing the majority opinion" on forum members. How exactly can anyone, especially on an internet forum, impose their beliefs or opinions on anyone else? Unless of course that person is easily lead and doesn't have the strength of their convictions. I'm sorry, but in my opinion your comment carries no weight at all.

In my experience the average poster is middle aged with a full work record in his chosen field with perhaps a business here too & is therefore far from an idiot.

1 out of 3 ain't bad.

I quoted "balls"

As for <deleted>, it referred to the female private, so I guess it's a compliment for a guy

Actually i go against the flow whenever i feel like it in here (as long as i feel i got a point). Really you should not worry about that. Maybe you are a bit sensative, but nobody is really going to hurt you. Besides what is the fun if everyone agrees. The forum would be dead.

it's call bashing

when a dozen of people put their wit together to destroy someone's image

It's just a new form of bullying

At school some kids commit suicide after mass bullying on facebook

Nothing to "grow balls" about

His first post and the comments had nothing to do with being new , it had to do with the fact that people disagreed with him , and it wasn't overtly hostile , rude, or uneducated , he only felt that way because he didn't hear what he wanted to hear ...... pretty much the same as this post and no doubt what we will be looking foward to in the future.

Come on PW. If you only open your mouth in agreement you are hardly having a discussion. I'm Irish and like a bit of "banter"
