If you were involved in foreign investment which country would you NOT invest in?

I quoted them. How do you 'exaggerate' a quote?Originally Posted by chassamui
They were silly and cartoonish, I agree, but not because I did anything to them.
It's irrelevant in as much as the perpetrators of this current mess are on course to bring the economy down and the people are all but helpless to stop it. Follow the simple logic. FDI is falling like a rock. Nothing is being done to change that.
Make your own mind up what happens and who is to blame. The current trajectory indicates that it will not end well for anyone. Assigning blame is not going to change it.
Why should I care if the assignment of blame gives you or Cyrille a hard on. I offer it only as an opinion, prediction, guess call it what you will. (Please just take it in the context of the complete original post).
What's most noticeable about your posts is the fact that they are almost entirely devoid of facts. Put some in and they be more bothering with, but as they stand, they're just more of the pointless, uninformed froth which so many old men seem to enjoy filling their lives with. And if you're not sure where to go for them, have a look back to my post with the BOI stats. You'll find a link to a blog which carries a lot of stuff on the Thai economy. Happy reading.

[QUOTE]......Originally Posted by cyrille
It is rather what you failed to do.
1. Read and understand them
2. Place the quote in context by using the full post.
Anyone can take something out of context and cherry pick that which supports their inaccurate assertions.

I'm not sure why but then I'm not an uninformed, delusional old fool so it's perhaps not surprising.that is just so funny in so many ways.

Oh dear.
Hitting the sauce early today Chas?
Your puerility seems to be hitting unprecedented levels...and that's saying quite something.
I'm sure everyone is bored rigid with your obsessive pedantry by now. I know I am. Move on there's a good tefler.Originally Posted by cyrille
It's not quite a matter of opinion, is it... I think you know you are being a bit deliberately dismissive when you call them "predictions" (perhaps because you are irritated by the way he presents his point), and you seem to be presenting a counterargument separated from the context of recent history that is fact, and familiarity with all the risks that the locals can present to (paranoid) farangs.
That doesn't mean I agree with everything your interlocutor says, of course, and if he put a bit more effort into making it a more boring comment and rephrased it as saying Thailand faces greater risks (i.e.: a greater likelihood of the hazards happening, based on the facts of recent history), then I'd find that uncontroversial.
I agree it is lazy ranty talk to just skip to saying so and so is deffo going to happen, but I think we all can read between the lines and get what people are trying to say without the three of you murdering a thread with an inane pedantry competition - as if any of you look like "the winner"!
i.e.: (chances are that) Thailand is going down the shitpan because it's government and society are such hopelessly hard work etc... but actually it's still got quite good infrastructure for a shit country, and is a cheap and well-established holiday destination, with fliendry women, so until it's neighbours pull their fingers out, it's not about to collapse into (complete) anarchy, but it could get close to that (as it has done) if the risks aren't addressed in advance.
Why not change the subject to which part of Thailand you should build your survivalist bunker in?
