Thread: Has Texpat become angry since moving to LOS?

texpat used to have an inspired touch in his posts, but now strikes out most at bats. Eg. snide comments about the deathtoll in Burma, and then a post about how the country could do with less mouths to feed.

Its not ennui with Thailand. Its Forumitis, ...the only way is downward, & the only reversion is to mean.

Must admit, he never used to spew personal insults when you didn't agree with his position.
Obviously, stressed out from something in the real world.

If they're lovely people then whey do the express such anger and hatred for people who disagree with them? Why do they do such name calling and ridiculing?

If they are patriots then why have they been so quick to dump our hard won freedom and liberty for the illusion of safety?

But, enough of this. I stay away from Issues for good reasons....

Gee, BH, have you seen what the libbies spit out at them? The libbies have no substance, just alot of vitriole.

Jettie is a very rare animal indeed.

a wannabe American.

Must be a world first.

I don't see much substance on either side, which is why I stay away.

But, I think you're wrong when you call that crowd "patriotic conservatives". They are neither patriotic nor conservative; they are simply selfish materialists who hide their greed behind the US flag.

But, I'm done with this thread. Nothing but endless rancor when you start talking "politics".

nice post BH, spoken like a true American

unfortunately, those who like to label themselves "true Americans" are mostly born again European Facist, how sad

The US has been on a path to old Europeanization demons for the last 30 years,

Really?
Check out his comments on the Safe Injection Sites thread.

Definitely stress related

^^ I have nothing against Kawasakis, but Israelis piss me off and are best avoided.

I was listening to an interview this morning on Aljazeera of a US board member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

His comments were quite interesting in this connection. He observed that the US has enjoyed several decades after the cold war of unchallenged hyperpower status, but that the whole global picture has changed now.

He says the US must share power with emerging powers, China, India, Russia, and at the same time, realize that small disruptive and dispersed powers, such as al qaeda, Hammas & Hezbollah and others also have a strange new kind of power.

He hinted that the new power sharing would take a lot of the heat off the US in the future only if emerging powers like China act responsibly, not nationalistically, and align themselves with other global powers.

The upshot is that in this new global order, countries like China may start taking a lot of criticism instead of the US. For example, look at the situation in Burma, and China's inactions and blockages at the security council.

With the olympics coming up in Beijing, we are going to see China finally start to take some global flack.

Maybe Texpat can get some relief.

I have at least 8 good Mexican friends here in Bangkok, 4 of which i would call close friends and 2 of which are very very good friends, i just came back from traveling in China with one of them. I can tell you with total confidence that non of the Mexicans i am friends with have the desire to be US citizens and are extremely proud to be Mexican.


In another thread Texpat was saying how he wished the UK would be the victims of some more bombing attacks, sorry but this is just wrong.

Texpat has his own views. Brill ones, IMO. Good on him. I'll buy him a beer anytime.

Texpats angry? well i never

Yeah, I remember when he first had a pop at me a year ago when drunk, he pmed me to apologise, which wasn't necessary.
By now he spews far worse vitriol on a regular basis.
