...when any Thai turns the key to start the engine in also works a born in switch that shuts down the brain I sent the PM, but, now that it has been made public...this is a blatantly bigoted remark. It implies that an entire race of people have some sort of genetic defect that predisposes them to be horrible drivers. Maybe you think Thais should all stick to Buffalo carts, huh?

Yes, you can become addicted to them according to what I read once.
Also some of them contain Benzadrine that is huffed and does give you a jolt and a little pepup as well as dry your nasal discharge.
I sat next to a girl once on a bus ride from Lom Sak to Chiang Mai and she was huffing on one of the stinking thing all the way every 5 minutes,,bet she was loaded by the time that the bus got to Chiang Rai where she said she was going.

In either case, we do not speak disrespectfully of Thailand here. This forum has not been built buy tearing down Thailand, and I seriously doubt that the past 7-10 posts would be considered productive in the least.

If you care to be critical I am certain there are other forums that you can do this at. We are not a political site, speaking of politics in the above would mark this forum as a questionable forum in the eyes of many groups. I am disappointed nobody gets the hint of this concept yet.

...when any Thai turns the key to start the engine in also works a born in switch that shuts down the brain. This statement has nothing to do with training, police presence, or anything other than a bigoted remark about an entire race of people. I am not a liberal or a KIWI. I am an American that also loves Thailand and half of my family is Thai. I'll take people cracking jokes about me all day, but I do not appreciate these types of overtly racist comments. You are all free to dislike me for taking this position, but it is what it is.

So when I said Thai drive F***ed up, I meant people in Thailand drive that way, and it is because no one has ever taken the time to teach them to drive or exactly what traffic laws are. or what they are for.
Need a good school and maybe some video classes when you get a license, that sure couldn't hurt anything,,what they need here is people in command that give a damn about Nong Q Public and their lives instead of how much money can I make while I have this office,,getting to much like the USA.
And I never see RACE when I look at someone, so when I say something about some one it is never racist because I don'y think that way, but you know, some folks are always looking for an excuse to jump up, like Jessy Jackson,,thats what you get for being to damn liberal.
