You need to go away and learn some stuff. Everything I said is demonstrably true and the only people who would argue are those who want to think it isn't, despite what facts exist. I can't be bothered arguing with you, I'd sooner try to teach my dog what entanglement means; at least there's an outside chance he'd understand some of it.

 

 

Thats an intelligent response. Instead of addressing the points, resort to ad hominem. Got it.

 

I win.

Millwall eh? OK That puts things in perspective.

 

Oh, sorry. Did you still expect to be taken seriously?

 

Millwall...

 

 

I only give lessons in irony and symbolism on Thursdays. Sorry. Carry on.

 

But if you want, I can give you your lesson for free.

I guess you do. Console yourself with the thought that if I thought any of the points you made were worth addressing, I would have done so. If you start to feel bad about that, content yourself with having declared yourself the winner.

 

Personally I didn't think know was a competition but hey, whatever lights your campfire...

I'm happy enough living here, the absence of choices isn't really a factor. Many, perhaps most who are happy living here manage that feat by voluntarily entering the Thai reality distortion zone and not being bright enough to see it for what it is. I have a feeling it was Marx who invented the expression 'useful idiots', but it might have been someone else, it isn't really important enough to check, someone said it for the first time anyway...

Just so its clear to the members here, other than yourself most of us who are happy here are "not bright enough" or "useful idiots"?

 

Just so its clear.

Take a deep breath, go away and have a nice cup of tea, then come back and read what I wrote. You'll figure it out.

Thats what I thought. Your rationale or self aggrandizing is unimportant, as long as it is clear you are unable to compete. ????

I did. So will many others. But I reckon you aren't confident enough to stand by it.

Thanks, but today's the wrong day. I usually only talk to clowns on Mondays, today's Tuesday. Come back next Monday.

 

Have a great Tuesday, I'm out.

To Psimbo: In this Thai case it was not a random act, the cop lost the fight and

                 cowardly went to kill the guy he lost the fight against. Big difference!

                 This RTP cop can tell us what ever he likes and I can tell what ever I like

                 to all the peoples I know, stay away from Thailand if you can, if you don't

                 keep a very low profile while you are here, cops dislike foreigners, the reason?

                 Jealousy.

Yup, but to want to be a third world citizen (middle income" for you PC apologists),  LAUGHABLE, but no surprise from the defenders of ALL things Thai.

My, my, superior arent we? Perhaps there are some positive values in Thai culture missing in the West.

"Thailand is safe".....NO IT ISN'T.

What country is safe when you engage in unsafe behavior?  I personally would never put myself in this kind of situation.  This wasn't a random act of violence.

 

https://www.chiangraitimes.com/41-year-old-french-tourist-shot-in-cold-blood-in-bangkok-by-off-duty-thai-policemen.html

 

Jawanjira Nutakrai, the dead man’s 32-year-old Thai girlfriend, said Mr. Djamel was a frequent visitor to Thailand and that the two men had known each other for nearly a year. She said they were drinking in the bar together and Djamel had become jealous because she was talking to the policeman, which initiated a fist fight between the two men.

 

Witnesses said the policeman was on the losing end of the fist fight and later followed Djamel back to the condominium building, where he stayed, and shot him dead on the first floor. The Frenchman was shot twice, in the chest and hip.

Thank you, sudsy, for the link to that article. There is a very, very interesting additional piece of information in that article. Namely, that the cop is a defendant in another shooting case which is 6 years old! 

 

So why does it take 6 years to resolve a shooting incident? Is someone trying to protect this bad cop?

 

Why would the police allow a cop with a shooting incident to still carry a firearm when the incident has NOT been resolved?  

 

None of this seems consistent with a police force that really cares about the safety of the people they are supposed to protect!

In the good ol USA lets say a cop gets fired for a shooting incident but not convicted. Or the cop violates some code of conduct and isn't convicted of a crime but gets fired. These can be pretty serious matters that get the police officer fired.  Well within a few years that same cop will be working at another police department.  Happens all the time. I remember reading an article about this in the LA Times years ago so I just did a google and found this.

 

https://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-police-shootings-officers-20180406-htmlstory.html

As more high-profile shooting investigations come to a close, a pattern has emerged: Departments are firing the officers or forcing their resignations. Even so, some officers win appeals or get policing jobs elsewhere.
