Why do I contribute to Thai Visa

[n210mp]

I ask myself why I get involved in the forum to the extent that I do.

Where is the profit?

What is the satisfaction?

It must be rationally because I am bored and with nothing better to do!

Am I am waiting to die

Yes it is a ridiculous statement to make but never the less a statement based on honesty if not intelligence!

You see ( we the participants and protagonist) are only looking for a cause or something that make us sit up and take notice.

When I think of the replies that I have made to some of the morons on here I cringe that I answered a post that I shouldn't have even thought about and therein lies the problem!

Why are we here, sitting in front of a PC screen getting involved in matters that dont really affect us, I say don't really affect us because if we have any brains at all we have manoeuvred ourselves away from the many problems that we see her in so much aplenty

Yes I know that the forum is a place that answers so many of the practical problems that atypical Farang has to face when trying to balance the irregularities and unfairness of the Thai regime but that isn't what I am talking about and you know what I am referring to its the mindless mind games that we get into as a member who anticipates in the cut and thrust of an argument that will never be resolved

So why do I contribute?

Nosey lol

So why do I contribute?

Is there a prize if we get the answer right?

A meaningful and sensible reply ( and I'm not saying that your isn't) would be helpful and educational to me and may well result in a meeting where we could set not only the world rights but ourselves in the process.

Many studies have connected the habit of keeping our brains active and stimulated with a lower risk of developingAlzheimer’s disease .One such study, conducted by the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, found that Tau protein’s brain fluid levels were boosted when brain cell activity increased. Tau protein stabilizes microtubules, and that helps prevent cell tangles from forming. It’s important because when tangles form, it prevents nutrients from navigating through cells, and the cells eventually die

I think folks in general contribute to pass time. Some are clearly bored, lonely or obsessed( Their post count really reflects that I suspect). Others really have a question or a thought was spurred and they pose the question.

I do not think to this date I have ever started a thread (I did sell my NSR in the motorcycle section if we want to count that). With that said I consider myself a "responding" contributor and I guess "contributing" is a subjective word as the premise behind it would be it was helping something or someone. I do my best to assist whenever I feel I can. I do not respond to just respond. I am very selective when I post and I do not sit in front of my PC all day waiting for a new thread to hit. I am outside doing things with my wife. This is like a Newspaper/OJ deal for me and off I go. I never get into a pissing war and never flame on anyone. I see no need for it. Sadly most threads go to the toilet pretty quick.

I am here to help people who aren't as big a know-it-all as me

[96tehtarp]

I usually get a good laugh reading here, quite often I learn some things I didn't know, and occasionally I get to help someone. And you can't beat some of the visa advice given here, it's right up to the minute.

[MW72]

For me, TV is good source of information from people who have been there and done that, made the mistakes and are good enough to advise others and share their knowledge. It is also a place to read some very humorous posts but also where people with polar opposite views spout the same drivel and slag each others point of view.

Compared to some I am a relative new comer to LOS so I appreciate being able to read about others' experiences whether good or bad. I work in a pretty remote location so TV is also a way to pass the time. When I am in Thailand I am too busy enjoying myself to be online.

I think TV gives a lot of foreigners that banter they would normally have at home with friends / work mates. Intellectual stimulation is thin on the ground if you live in ;LOS. Not saying there's a lot of intellect on this forum but there's a lot looking for it.

[SoiBiker]

Intellectual stimulation might be thin on the ground in the circles you move in. Don't speak for the rest of us.

I come here for the laughs. Keep it up.

Why you worry so much about what other people write on here if it does not effect you ?

Just be happy that you are happy and pity the ones who, in your opinion, are not.

I like to post on here because -- based on some of the replies I get -- I can tell whether or not my ant-psychotic medication is working.

Some TVF threads are like those blind spots you get on your nose. Bloody painful but you can't resist pressing them...

Mornin' all. Mornin' Jake. Spot of rain last night. Yep, gave the veggie patch a good soakin'. Gonna need to fix that fence down by the Old Mill Run sometime today. So I'd better get these old bones a-shifting. Later, all.
