Popular Post geronimo Posted February 5, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 5, 2014 I was told by a few TV oldies to leave the general forum well alone, so I trod wearily, rarely making any posts at first, hopeful of gaining some insight ... which gracefully came my way! A few years roll by and I start to make positive comments wherever I feel appropriate, intent on boosting the OP who is obviously in need of it (Some silly attempts at humour were also thrown in). After scrolling through the interminable posts that defy belief in terms of negativity, I finally realised the TV vets were right, but then another flash of imagery got me and I thought I had sufficient positivity within my being to share it about a bit .... so that is what I have been trying to do and wish to do from here on in. If there are other such positive people who would "back me up" by also highlighting the half full angle, I think we could change a @@@load of peoples' attitudes in the general forum and being as they will go forth and infiltrate the deep chasms of TV, I feel we could actually make a difference! So, here's an idea ... let's start a thread called "Positive happenings" and post the amazing things that we witness ........ and I for one will spend all my TV time in there, happy to be bathing in a sea of PMA. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post thailiketoo Posted February 5, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 5, 2014 There is a Wat in Thailand where hundreds of people gather every morning and give food to the monks and also bring food for others. After an hour of talks and meditation everyone who wants lines up in two long buffet lines and eats all they want for free and then everyone, hundreds of people do the dishes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Like Thai Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I think you should go for it.

Popular Post geriatrickid Posted February 5, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 5, 2014 General's alright, though I hear the farming, DIY and bedlam fora are a bit dodgy. Yes, those farmers are a dicey lot. They have loose morals too, walking about with their half naked torsos, flexing their muscles, seducing the local women. I've also heard that they spread manure about. Talk about poop flingers. Someone should sort them out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bgrassboy Posted February 5, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 5, 2014 It has indeed been a struggle to maintain a glass half full approach to life while living in Thailand!

WitawatWatawit Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Good luck. I mean that. But someone tried it with a radio station 20 years ago (California, I think), but it failed. Miserably. Woefully. Balefully. Basically, good news doesn't "sell" unless it's sensationalised. That's because the realities of life are constantly hitting us from every angle, and we're preconditioned to react more to extremer news than good news. So if I drop a brick on your toe, am I going to be upset at you calling me a ... or happy that the local doc is going to earn some money stitching you up? Happy, of course, you miserable plick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well worth a diversion. Also, the fact that quite a few of the waiting staff are from the Philippines may be a bonus for some expats.
