Popular Post Jingthing Posted August 22, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) I wonder what they talked about exactly. I wonder if there is heightened concern now over security for Americans abroad because of: Isis and their genocidal actions (Iraq, Syria, etc.) Obama's military reaction to Isis and expectations of much more Recent beheading of American journalist and threats for more War between Israel and Gaza (lots of hateful actions now globally against Israelis, all Jews in general, and Americans who are correctly recognized as Israel's best ally and the most Jewish friendly nation in the world after Israel) Lots of foreign nationals in Thailand who would be assumed to be hostile to Americans (screening of course not the same for visas as it would be for the USA and Western Europe) I was thinking about this kind of thing the other day in Pattaya. Here so many diverse nationalities, that's wonderful. Many people wearing American flag clothing. They are mostly not Americans. Easy to tell when they open their mouths speaking Russian, Farsi, etc.! I think Americans mostly avoid standing out too much as Americans here, and probably wisely. So many foreigners dressed as identifiably Muslim (many hijabs). I have never noticed any backlash to them for that and I assume they don't get any. Then I thought, what would it be like for me to go about Pattaya wearing an American flag t-shirt, a yarmulke, and a Jewish star necklace? I think anyone doing that would face massive harassment and violence in Pattaya. No, I wouldn't be so brave.

When disaster strikes somewhere in the world, who comes running with relief, shelter, helicopters and medical supplies? Think earthquakes, tsunami, floods. The Yanks. Not often the Chinese or Russians. No, I'm not American. Perhaps Ms Kenney can also assure U.S. citizens that they will also be safe when back in the good 'ole U S of A too?. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post IAMSOBAD Posted August 22, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) According to the British government report issued today ...there are more British Muslims fighting for ISIS than in the British military. Maybe Americans do need security? ISIS has threatened to attack American citizens. I doubt in history that a terrorist ever checked passports before attacking. Watch your backs.

She should have been discussing that the comments of John Kerry and herself following the coup have created an unreasonable risk of harm for Americans in Thailand, because the comments were so offensive. Compounding that, she should have apologized for the actions taken by the US government as sanctions for the coup, because they were due to a lack of understanding of the Thai political situation and the threat of a civil war. She's an idiot, was given the job as a political favor for her husband, and I can't wait for the end of Obama's term when she will be sent packing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CNXBKKMAN Posted August 22, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2014 Being an American in Thailand must be safer than being an American in the USA. Crime, gun crime, almost every city having some kind of no-go ghetto area etc. American roads will be safer than Thailand but that's about it? Food safety in the USA is probably better but personal safety Thailand wins. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, i doth think they are a hated nation at all.. There is a lot I dont like about American culture but also a lot I do.. But what is undeniable is that in every shopping "mall" in the world there is a Macdonalds, KFC, Burgerking or maybe a Subway etc, etc,, so clearly the crap food travels well and I could go on and on with examples of US influence (hate the word "sneakers") but I am sure everyone knows. Its funny how people seem to think they are a hated nation and yet every country is Asia is rushing to adopt the entire culture for themselves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its funny how people seem to think they are a hated nation and yet every country is Asia is rushing to adopt the entire culture for themselves. Actually it was a correct statement. "American" is NOT a "Race" but a "Nationality". "American" can also, in some instances, be an "Ethnicity". Words for the day: * Race: based on physical and inherited features * Ethnicity: social affiliation based on how you were raised and what customs you keep * Nationality: the country of citizenship & usually birth 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met an Iranian one time in a business setting, and at first we eye-balled each other because we were supposed to be enemies. Turns out we both wanted the same things - food, shelter, pussy. The U.S. government is turning its weaponry on its own citizens in order to keep them subservient, as well as dumbing down the children growing up except for the elite ruling class. I am proud to be an American and ashamed of my government. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
