Popular Post Gsxrnz Posted May 2, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2013 Can I suggest to the Mods that they begin a section on TV specifically for members to post complaints and criticisms of Thailand, Thai culture, Thai people, Thai language, Thai driving, Thai politics etc. Then I will know not to waste my perusing that section of the forum on the assumption that those TV members who have a glass half empty view of the country and its people will only post in that section, leaving the rest of us to enjoy a more productive and enjoyable dialogue elsewhere on TV. Just a thought. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Objection, your Honour! Naming it "Complaints Forum" may create the impression that members express systematic and coherent points that follow common logic.

I was going to suggest it be called the "Grumpy Old Expats Forum" but decided that would be politically incorrect, and I'm all for being politically correct....at least some of the time, usually when I'm asleep.

rubberduck Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 (edited) Why making a separate forum if 91,3% of the content already are post with complaints and criticisms of Thailand, Thai culture, Thai people, Thai language, Thai driving, Thai politics etc. ? On elementary schools Thai children are taught to never criticise anything, but farangs hardly do enything else, LOL Edited May 2, 2013 by rubberduck 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kannot Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 So we should also have a Rose tinted spectacle version entitled "kowtow sheeple forum"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naam Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 So we should also have a Rose tinted spectacle version entitled "kowtow sheeple forum"? that would only apply to an infinitely small number of postings in TV. fact is and remains that the majority of postings are complaints, contain derogatory remarks or are just plain stupid questions most of which start with "why...?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on where you realm, Sir Naam. Dusty financing and real estate issues tend to attract negativism, obviously. There are lots of happy places if you look good. But i agree with you on the "why..?" bit. Edited May 2, 2013 by Dancealot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travel2003 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 If it wasn't for the fact OP is still participating in this thread, I would have thought it was a nice bait (Troll), to lure out all us complainers who are branded as Grumpy Old men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, still keeping an eye on the thread, and it certainly wasn't a troll. There's a few other threads at the moment that are on the Grumpy old man theme as well. Somebody suggested that Grumpy Git was a better terminology because it takes out both the reference to age as well as gender. The gender thing doesn't worry me too much, but as Grumpy Git can refer to any age, it's probably a more accurate use of the vernacular as opposed to Grumpy Old Man. As one of my favourite T-Shirts used to say, "Growing old is compulsory, growing up is entirely optional". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
