Johnnie99 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) i don't understand some posters . . . if you had to suffer from the Elephantitis Leg Disease, and all your government grants you for the rest of your life is peanuts , how would your life be like ? so instead of staying in his home country, he decided to put "adventure" an his flag and pull out of the "safe" harbour. I am a disabled person myself, and I just don't need your mercy . .. I can do things people of your kind will envy me for. My respect for Elephantitis Man . . begging is one way to do, but mind you folks. This guy will not sit there all day long, there will be an end to the day and he will be somebody socialising with somebody else. Act smart is what our century calls for. Warren Buffet is one more example, on the scale of big. What do you not understand? Most posters here are criticising a man who preys on those less well off than himself - he came to Thailand to beg. Thai people were generous enough to believe his lies, and now he is back in Europe, still replying on the kind-heartedness of others around him. Is he such a lazy and despicable person that he cannot get off his backside and work for a living? He is a disgrace and if you could understand what posters really thought, you would see that this man is doing you a dis-service by making able-bodied people think you are all the same.

Johnnie99 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 He, like all of us, has the freedom of choice. This seems to be his chosen path. He has found his niche in society,leave him be, nobody is forced to give to him. No, nobody is forced to give anything to him - but those with a kind heart will do so. That is what 'forces' them to give. Should we all, therefore, give up working and beg? 'Niche' - my arse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony125 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I am surprised how a ) this makes it into the news b ) people (commenters) have no heart for ones in problems. Has anyone wanted to become a beggar by own choice? I don't think so. You ask if anyone becomes a begger by choice---yes he did ! The condition could be treated and cured over time but he uses it as way to get sympathy and funds. First (that we know of) here in Bangkok then Pattaya where he used the funds given to him to pay for bar girls then after being deported back to Germany instead of getting care for the leg in his home country goes begging in Denmark where he can use the funds for drugs and prostitutes there.

Tony125 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 a Thai citizen in germany? I bet it's a youngish 20 year old thai female Stupid statement , stereotyping and implying that must be some Thai bar girl working the clubs over there. Not only the Shin and LK Thai families have billions of baht. I know 3 Thai girls/ladies that have their own business, work for daddy's business or are well off. They travel around the world, I met 2 in USA and when I moved here we still keep in touch and they send me photos from Paris, Venice, Berlin , Hongkong , ect.

tinhead Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Yes many people choose this lifestyle after figuring out that it's easier than real work and a contribution to society. Ever been to Vancouver? There is a thriving poverty pimp industry that keeps these folk very comfortable. I am surprised how a ) this makes it into the news b ) people (commenters) have no heart for ones in problems. Has anyone wanted to become a beggar by own choice? I don't think so.

Suradit69 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 after being deported by Thai customs Sounds like Thai customs is starting to muscle in on Thai Immigration's fiefdom or did someone attempt to ship him out via DHL? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Ever been to Vancouver? There is a thriving poverty pimp industry that keeps these folk very comfortable. " In NY and London the pimp industry keeps utterly useless CEOs and bankers very comfortable. Hard to say whether beggars or executives are a greater drain on productivity, although at least some beggars have monkeys who can play the tambourine to entertain passersby. .

tinhead Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Bankers and CEOs don't break into our cars, puke and defecate all over the street and generally conduct themselves properly in public. The homeless don't make the streets safer. So perhaps the cure is to give these folks a Banking or CEO job. Oh wait. That's a job. These folks don't want that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perconrad Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 On the danish forum "Thailand Portalen" is a link to Benjamin Holsts facebook https://www.facebook.com/benjamin.holst.7 He have also been to the Canarian Islands since leaving Bangkok for Germany.

Aceicol Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Like him or loathe him but the bloke is a bit of a character. As mentioned though he want's to get out of Copenhagen ASAP the winters there can't be very kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neeranam Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 In my opinion this sort of broadcasting is against common decency - having a laugh at the expense of an invalid. "everyone's favourite beggar"? Do people have favourite beggars. Why not just kick a man when he's down. I have had to beg before and it really could happen to ANYONE. Is it illegal to beg n Denmark? If not, he should sue Coconuts or whatever the name of the source is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
