, I live by both, because balance is the only long term way for us all. so instead of listing the obvious alternatives from an observer's perspective you get realistic as well and realize that when it comes to humanity we all have skin in the game. ultimately comfort does not replace meaning

@Ga**

, I talked to a school, but they say it requires people to leave the country, considering you're already out that may work in your favour, ask Sandee school in Bangkok for info

@Ga**

, yes, better to be bold in the future. what about an education visa?

@Ga**

, goes to show adaptation isn't always the way, sometimes it is better to ask forgiveness than permission

@R**

, I agree with you. they look down upon us, which is a form of hatred and far from indifference.

you describe it aptly, the immaturity of the culture requires the finger to be pointed, but there is no real justification in it.

I like this place, but it was already closed in upon itself, convinced of its own superiority without even having seen any other part of the world, before covid and has become so even more now.

@Je***

, and then we have these spineless farang who basically turn into that mentality of greed to fit in, or already had it, ironically justifying their presence by the same logic of greed that is like disease on this country and the world in general. it is them that should go, perhaps permanently, their function towards harmony has long since ceased.

@Ko**

, closing your eyes isn't adaptation, it's cowardice.

true adaptation is done to something.that increases survival chances as a species, not as an individual. but by all means dance while the world around you burns, dismiss reason further, say hello to Plato in that cave and pretend that's what you can call life.

meanwhile i'll return to the topic of IMMIGRATION POLICIES

not worth the bother

@Jo**

, filth is filth. doesn't want to understand

@Ko**

, stop jumping from one topic to the next man, you barely seem coherent.

to tie your multitude of semi-random topics together: the drugs flow in BECAUSE THERE IS A MARKET. Filth wealth comes in because it can sate its lustss on the supply of (child) prostitution. Idealizing Thailand just makes it apparent you need to open your eyes:

MONEY DOES NOT EQUATE TO VALUE.

As examplified by tahksin's exile, the inflow of drugs and sex tourism.

therefore the logic that only the rich should have the right to stay is at the source of this problem, because from that perspective the abuse will be allowed to continue, as it generates wealth for the corrupt in power, while the lady on the market and the respectable longstayer that is actually well liked by the locals is considered unwelcome.

don't you and your ilk feel sickened by how much you've integrated the corrupted style of thinking as your own, or was it already there and is that the reason you feel so at home here?
