You surely mean Tatanka Yotanka.

Japanese pornstar, innit?

An American named Karta Singh Harta. Hmmm. New one on me.

I reckon your name is Joe Sixpack ?

Why the concern? Why the skepticism?

Yes my friend since Obama opened the US borders to anyone who wants to come in legally or illegally and since the US Obama Administration is refusing to deport any illegal aliens an American with a name like Karta Singh Harta or Mohammed Atta, or Osama bin Wallie is quite common. The current prediction is that in America WASPs will be in the minority by 2050. A sad day indeed when the once powerful and grand USA has become just another third world nation run by Socialists, progressives, marxists and willie <deleted>.

maybe for you, a lot less Fox news and the realisation that Bill O'Reilly isn't really the 'no spin zone'

What gets me about the Indians coming to America is the lengths they will go to in order to get on the Govt Welfare System.

Its incredibly common for them to actually go to University for many years to become medical doctors simply to profit off of ObamaCare and Medicare payouts.

This guy had balls to do what I always wanted to do to punish these dirty uneducated and dangerous van drivers !

It just seems to me, that only a really low IQ population could have taken this beautiful continent, this magnificent American landscape that we inherited. Well actually we stole it from the Mexicans and the Indians, but hey, it was nice when we stole it. Looked pretty good, it was pristine. Paradise. Have you seen it lately? Have you taken a good look at it lately?

Nope. More likely that an American tourist steals a transport van in Thailand than Mr. Tatanka Yotanka was a Japanese pornstar: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Tatanka+Yotanka

Although, the odds appear to be kind of slim in both cases but anyway, nutting seems to be the rule in this weird world nowadays as this thread proves as well.

an american named Barrak Obama is also new to me. As an american i can say .... his behavior seem like he has lived here too long. do what i want attitude, tsk tsk tsk. most americans i encounter ar terrified of doing bad things AND go to thai jail. while the fraternity brat generally veer the other direction. his knowledge of the area suggest that he has extended family here. I bet he is just a passport holder... an not an actual american. I meet them quite often at immigration. i alway like to talk to people who enjoy flashing their US passport. I always ask, WHat state are you a resident of? if they dont answer or even speak english... i give them this lower class look i always get when i walk down town. ... its funny to me.

[Strangebrew]

The towel on my head was too tight I had brain fart I thought he meant me harm I thought he said he was going to cut the sh-t not that he had to sh-t My bad so sorry

You know whats funny to me? i actually treat such people just the opposite of you...I treat them with courtesy, because I've walked in their shoes here in Thailand and know it can be tough.

Youre that new breed of American...the bitter and angry American. The one that appeared under Bush Jr...reminds me of an old Russian peasant saying:

"My neighbor has a cow and I don't have one.

I want my neighbors cow to die."

To me, being an American means brotherhood, it means helping each other out, it means working hard for a dream and helping others with theirs.

Thanks to guys like you, now saying that doesn't sound American. It sounds Australian or Canadian ;-)

A tourist with business to attend so was he on business or was he on vacation, urgent enough business to steal his transport most business people I know just hire a car to attend a meeting and I take it with that name he was not a Native American. a bit of a strange smell BS about this whole story

Cause to NeverSure- an American name must have Tom, Dick or Harry.

Some people are so .....

One suspects with comments like this, don't think "Never sure" will be buying a US basket ball team anytime in the near future, although I do believe this years membership applications for the KKK are currently being accepted

Never sure what are your favourite TV programs ?

Swamp people and duck dynasty ?

So define a real American then.....?....just because someone is called billy bob doesn't make them a real American, one suspects the only real Americans are those that live in teepees, have feathers in their hair

So? what's it to you? been turning to much water to wine lately?

[Spoonman]

Was Mr Karta Singh Harta also in possession of a dodgy seppo passport ?

Didnt take long.How many Yanks named Nyuen,Mohamed,Garcia or Sombat.American passport= American citizen.

[Bluespunk]

I have heard of Barry Obama but quite frankly wish I had been denied the pleasure.

Yes, God forbid there should be an intelligent person in the job. Right wing, evangelical nutjob, buffoons such as bush are much more suited to the role.

Afraid you are wrong there. Most Indian Tribes considered themselves unique from each other and spent all their time attempting to wipe each other out.

When early anthropologists asked them to define the names of their tribe...it would often mean "The People" or similar--meaning they thought about themselves at the exclusion of others.

The Spanish just continued on with that and then the other Europeans after that. The ones who are there now were also warriors but their advanced use of weaponry and communication allowed them to rule the territories.

Interestingly, the current dominant group is likely the first in history of mankind to willingly hand over their cultural domjnance to foreigners (outsiders) without any kind of fight.

Perhaps the driver made too many piss-stops cos he didn't want to go where the Yankee wanted.

Must be the build up to the wet season - they're all going, or have gone, troppo...

You were going all right til you sank the boots into Ozzys and Canadians.

I typed it poorly is all. I meant the Ozzies and Canucks still get it right in a way we have lost.

It wasn't so much a philosophy unique to Americans...it was the spirit shared by three young countries each in a new frontier and with immigrants that traced their origins to Western Europe and Christian influences.

He made it pretty far, that's about a 60 km drive, still 30 short of the border though

In a mixed society such as the USA, a name means little. Bigotry, however, so easy to identify.

Me smells a stollen passport!

I would not call it bigotry, he is within breathing distance of the stollen passport capital of the world aka, Pattaya!

More intelligent? Wily like a fox, maybe, like Clinton.

But don't let the different packaging fool you, Obama is no different than the rest--as crooked and corrupt as the rest--Red or Blue.

He's a politician, but as for being crooked and corrupt, well I'd like to see evidence of that.

Duh, there is a large community of East Indians in the states

The name "Singh" means he is a Sihk ,a Punjabi of origin .

Also a little bit sick ..

They are usually pretty nice and hard working people ,surprising !

Couldn't have been a real Yankee anyway, nobody got shot

Is that an attempt at humor?
