Buntsa Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Really. If someone comes to bar with a knife, it´s not customers problem to solve it. That is the problem with the bar only. Of course everyone have a right to defense himself, but in my opinion the bar should be closed if you can walk in there with a knife! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jip99 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 When I was a kid, growing up in the states, we were always shown the image of the British as being the most sophisticated, well spoken people around - a cartoon of that, really - tea time and perhaps a monicle, ha How deceiving this stereotype was ... or, how p1ss-poor your education was. You seem to have accepted/developed your own stereotype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jip99 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Seems Brits are just like Thais.. need to have it from numbers. (sorry the standard remark the expats make when its one on many so I do the same) Just to show its not only Thais but also Brits that are cowards. We are not all as capable as you robblock in tackling a knife-wielding Finn on our own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EyesWideOpen Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) Sweet Pattaya, it does not amazes me that Thai's hate the Farage so much and simply look at us as ATM's only. Some here seems to actually be worse than Thai's They should crawl back under the bush they came from in the UK. My landlord was moved to monologue today, when the subject of Russia came up, and she had a lot to express re: her views on Pattaya, ha I've lived in Bangkok for 5 years, and have never seen Pattaya, just based on the stories my buddy related after I first moved here. I'm happy in BKK. Well at least in Pattaya the taxi drivers when angry do not pull a knife out of the trunk of the car and slash you to death...... I'll take Pattaya thanks. Cooler too.....

ravip Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 This kinda stuff happens in Finland every weekend, pretty common thing. That sure must be one good way for happiness!

MrWorldwide Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Much safer in a nice suburban neighbourhood in the good old USA. Neatly mown lawns, new SUVs - what more could you want, right ? How about a nice, traditional pub back in the UK ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kX0V-beluaw Or a train ride in Sydney The myth that people still fight one-on-one really needs to addressed here - this is the world that your kids and grandkids are going to have to live in, whether it's Thailand or back in your home country. I still feel safer in Pattaya or even BKK at night than I ever did in Sydney or Melbourne - even Brissie has gotten a lot nastier at night than it was when I moved there in the early 90s. Really sick and tired of white Anglo-Celtic males being held up as sterling examples of pugilistic heroes willing to adhere to the Marquis of Queensbury rules - doesnt make the Thais or other Asians anything other than the cowards that they are, but we're living in a very different world to the one most of us grew up in.

Jonmarleesco Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 The Finnish? As in the Thaish?Funny how, if it allegedly involves British nationals, they're thugs; if Thais, they're security guards, taxi drivers, ladyboys; but thugs? Heaven forbid. Besides, if the Finn(ish) returned with a knife, he was obviously complicit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbelyeu Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Keep in mind your are basing your whole theory on a single event where 4 brits ganged up on 1 guy (who may have been armed, which would justify 4 on 1). There is alot more empirical evidence of Thais ganging up on someone, armed or unarmed. Children shoot eachother almost daily in the US, on purpose or by accident, as guns seem to be everywhere in the US. However, I am sure the same thing happens once in a while in my home country, where few people have guns. That cannot however justify arguing that my home country is as gun crazy as the US. The yanks weren't even involved in this incident but don't let that stop you from bashing them on your rant. Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many consider Obama a thug - he doesnt need to come to your house with a lead pipe and 5 of his posse to be a thug - but its increasingly the way of the world. I dont know about the TVF tough guys, but to me that skinhead video highlights the fact that once the mob has you in it's sights you have one choice - try to get away. All the macho talk about 'that's when my blades come out' would disappear as quickly as their teeth down the nearest drain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second photo, example two, is the world’s perception of Englishmen today. So what happened? Not only are they at complete opposite ends of the evolutionary scale, but also could be regarded as a totally different species. At least the Thais over the generations have not gone into a social decline that much, as a matter of fact, regarding standards of living, education and culture, I would say Thailand has improved over the decades, whereas Britain has gone into sociological decline. Glad I`m out of there, and the best of British luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
