Popular Post DannyCarlton Posted November 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 15, 2019 (edited) 9 hours ago, Matzzon said: I am getting a lot of pain fron this, though, and most probably we all get a lot of hardship from immigration, just because of the big amount of bad apples that comes to Thailand and think they can do as they wish. You've been reading too much TV. Another urban myth perpetuated by Thai Visa. The crackdown on expats has absolutely nothing to do with poor souls such as the young Russian overstayer, who probably never did any harm to anyone and was just trying to enjoy his life in the way he wanted to. It has everything to do with the government (junta) pandering to the xenophobia of their Thai base. No different to Trump's war cry of "Build the wall" and "Mexican immigrants are real bad hombres". You have fallen for the propoganda of the government that wasn't even aimed at you. You get on with your life and let others get on with theirs. In reality (a land you clearly don't inhabit) their actions have zero effect on you. Edited November 15, 2019 by DannyCarlton 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

America is 100% right in protecting is borders as is Thailand and every other country in the world has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just an easy and obvious example of a government using non factual prpoganda to garner votes with their supporters. Happens with governments around the world.

Snitch-line is so much more descriptive ???? I suppose that depends either on whether you condone serial illegal activity, or whether you like the phrase just because it you think that it gives you some kind of obtuse 'credibility' by being seen as a supporter of criminal activity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike the Russian guy, I don't need to overstay, easy for me to get my annual extension. However, for the young Russian, he might find it near impossible to stay in Thailand for 52 weeks of the year. This is the failing of the visa system. Having a choice between living in a country with great weather, beautiful women, beautiful people and to die for scenery and seeing out my days in Siberia, I would certainly consider gaming the system and staying here on overstay. I tend to differentiate between what is morally right and what is legally right. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that´s your version of how different things are connected or not. That is not mine. Let us just take an example: If we have 15 families of one nationality in an appartment area of 150 families with another nationality. Let´s say that 3 of the 15 families make problems. What do you then think is a probable scenario? 1. Many of the 150 families are starting to believe that it´s always people like the 15 families that makes problem? 2. It has absolutely zero effect on how the 150 families think and feel about the 15 families? I think you have seen enough of the world and have enough life experience ot understand what mostly would be the result. Have a good day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therein exactly lays your problem, in not understanding, or willing to accept the bigger picture. In Thailand 1.0, no one gave a damn or second thought about overstayers. Not the immi's, no Thais on the street, certainly no fellow Farangs. With 4.0 it started ... and you want so eagerly be actively part of it ... can't wait to report the next overstayer yourself, a Farang, being only a guest in Thailand! Crazy thought ha? Maybe someday your light bulb will switch on, but I highly doubt it.

Well, turning it around is not a good idea. You look into your own thread history about every overstayer and then re-read it for yourself. I just replied to your many many many posts about it, to give it my 1 opinion. For the rest I have seen it now, don't care too much about it. Be happy someone tried to explain it to you in a nice way ... what you do with it, it's up to you, as they say. Good luck and enjoy the satisfaction of your own postings in all future daily overstayers threads, or god forbid someone broke a law in your holy 'law abiding Thailand' Edited November 16, 2019 by RedPill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike787 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Abolish the over stay nonsense and just let people spend and support Thailand’s kingdom, wives, family, bar girls and their boyfriends....what’s the harm in that.

Scot123 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 It is not the kicking out that any civilised and grounded person objects to it is the xenophobic, racist, uncivilised way they treat and portray the overstayer which is so wrong and if you can't see that then you are as morally currupt as those carrying it out. It is just the same as parading foreigners in chains and then being shocked at the rest of the worlds reaction while allowing murders of your own nationality go home on bail... And Billy' s murderers are a prime example of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may well be correct but in general it takes a special kind of hate filled inadequate to be disgusted by petty criminals. The anger and hate is so out of proportion and vaguely deranged that counselling and psychiatric seems advisable. Such people have not fallen for government propaganda...they have been damaged since childhood but lack the intelligence to mask their misanthropy. They lack the empathy to know shame. We can only pray such people do not breed and pass on their sickness to vunerable children. Charity, forgiveness, empathy and love really help not hate and disgust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
