    poor Smeg, I am not sure why all you guys give him such a hard time.

    Yes, he has an agenda in everything he posts, but so do many others

    Yes, he insults people and calls them stupid a lot, so do others

    Yes, he can be very irritating and nasty, but so do others

    Yes, he avoids answering pertinent questions, but so do others

    Yes, he gets Poolies support, but so do others

    Maybe it is because he does them all, continuously, without fail?
    is cute enough?

    OK - you've done the easy bit, but you still haven't explained the difference.

    Over to you....

    Because he is a liar & a hippocryte and resorts to personal threats when he is proved again and again that he is either talking shite or full of it.

    Apart from that, he's a very nice chap....

    I've never met anyone who was living under these cicumstances.

    What do you think the percentage is, of all foreigners in Thaialand living under the circumstances you describe (illegal)?

    I expect a response.
    Most don't. I'd say that probably 1/2 of TEFLers don't have the proper visa or WP, but most of them only stay for a year or two (realising that its not a good longterm idea). There are a few however who lack the willpower to leave (until forced to)

    just your thoughts then Smeg

    no real justification for them, no statistics to back them up?

    It is no good basing your arguments on what you perceive; that subjectivity does not make a good foundation.

    This is a discussion forum, for sharing opinions. If you want hard facts and stats, look elsewhere.

    Oh I see, as it is a discussion forum, you can just make any old statement, without much foundation, and refuse to justify it

    I am sure if someone else did that you would be on them like a ton of bricks, screaming "give me proof, show me where" etc etc

    as you have done several times recently
    I have reported your post

    well Smeg, after telling us how smart you are, you then tell us it took you several months to realise that breaking the law was dumb!!

    whatever, but most people who work illegally know that from the beginning, but take the risk. Are you not telling us the truth, maybe whitewashing a little bit to make you look good? You worked illegally until it suited you not to; exactly the same as all the rest of the illegal workers.

    The pot calling the kettle black, springs to mind!!

    No, becuase I begin my statements "I'd say that" or "I think that" etc, not like some people who write their opinions in a "fact" format (or people like you who think that your opinions can prove mine to be wrong!)

    Anyway, you can stay here and argue with yourself.

    Nope. Came for a holiday. Started helping friends with their English in return for help with Thai. Then did two teaching jobs on the promise of a WP which never materialised. Then did some tutoring for a couple of months whilst planning my exit from the country.

    This thread is about people who make a longterm lifestyle of teaching illegally, but feel free to carry on your usual routine of twisting it back into an analysis of me.

    this is a discussion forum, and in discussions all sorts of things come up

    Like the possibility that one of the participants is a hypocrite. That is an important part of any discussion, as it does colour that persons viewpoints.

    However, talking about people who make a long term lifestyle of teaching without a WP...what is your problem, you yourself just said that "There are a few "

    so all your arguments about all those illegal TEFLers taking all those jobs is really a storm in a teacup, as there are only a few

    Cantona, it seems to be always that time

    Smeg has a hate for TEFLers and will argue that black is white to get at them. I can see that working illegally is not a nice thing, but he did it and wants us to believe that he is different from those he now lambasts

    To me, it seems the same. As I said, he worked illegally until it was convenient for him not to, however he tries to disguise the basic facts
