cmwkings, just thought i would respond to more of your ridiculous statements.
"The fact that you are taking this personal only gives credibility to my observations."
Your "observations" have little credibility, not because they dont have some truth to them, but because of your own gross exaggerations and obviously false statements. The only thing worse than your credibility is your grammar and spelling.
"not all foreigners are "scumbags" and I would think that goes without saying. There is always exceptions to absolutes unless you're narrow minded"
That did indeed go without saying in your initial rantings. And for you to insinuate that others are narrow minded is, well, amusing.
"do you deny the Sex trade is, by far the biggest trade and pull for tourism in the Land of Smiles"
Yes and no. It is not "by far the biggest trade", although it may very well be the biggest pull for tourism. But since you evidently spent most of your time there in the sex districts, its understandable why you would think this way, along with making the ludicrous statement that there are 4 million prostitutes in bangkok.
"You obviously don't understand where I am coming from. My assessement would be you can't get laid anywhere else or you are just truly ignorant of your surroundings"
I do understand that you dont like the place, and you are not alone. There is much to dislike about any country, including the usa. However, saying someone who doesnt agree with you is ignorant is, ahh, NARROW MINDED. And to say and insinuate that almost all expats are murderers, theives, child molesters, etc is just a little over the top bud. Maybe the ones YOU hung out with and PARTNERED with, but.................
"You're a third class citizen in Thailand dumb fuck"
Wrong again. Sure as a foreigner without permanent visa status there can be problems, not to mention the double pricing, constant minor shakedowns the (rich!) foreigner is subjected to, etc. But the fact is that the average american in thailand has far more actual real life privileges and "freedoms" than 98% of thai citizens do. The thai govt (as well as most foreign govts) actually treads quite lightly with americans and other westerners, because they know that we have a lot of clout compared to their own citizens who usually have little. Thats just a fact but you choose to only look at the negatives. And do you know of any country in the world where you dont lose much of your (actual) freedom if you have no money? I dont.
"You obviously came off a bit half cocked as I indicated that the Thai publication of Penthouse is softcore, no hardcore. Maybe I didn't use those words exactly but I believe I got my point across"
No, your point was that producing porn is illegal. Quote; "IT IS DEFINATELY ILLEGAL TO PRODUCE ANY PORN IN THAILAND. FOR EXAMPLE, THEY HAVE A THAI PENTHOUSE MAGAZINE............" This was just one of many statements you made that not only wasnt true, but was contradictory on the face of it. How could ANY porn be illegal but they have a thai penthouse magazine?
"If you knew this business, you would know that the numbers I stated above were and are easily possible"
Mmm, maybe you are right about this one. If making $100,000 a month with pitiful sites like his is easy, then i really dont know this business. But since you were his PARTNER, perhaps you could share how.
"you and your mentality was one of the main reasons why I left"
My mentality is to simply call you on all the exaggerations and mistatements you are making, sorry you take such offense at being corrected. I have no problems with you not liking thailand or anywhere/anything else, but if you are going to insult such large numbers of people at least try to get your facts straight. Still, if you think its such a terrible place one has to wonder why you stayed for 10 years.
"Just wait until you get buttfucked by some sceaming farang....."
I got to admit i havent heard of this before. Uhh, is that what happened to you?
"I'm not telling anyone anything but the facts"
Mmmm, methinks i have already covered this one.
Look, i wasnt interested in getting into a flame war. But if you go back and objectively read some of the stuff you have said here you will see how you are painting an awful lot of people with a broad brush. And i think i have demonstrated that a lot of the statements you made just dont add up.
Still, on your main point about this guy we agree. I remember thinking the first time i saw one of his sites that he was probably a sleaze. Most of these motel photographers have little to recommend them. For you to talk about him is fine, after all YOU WERE HIS PARTNER. But why you had to belittle thousands of other people you dont even know is interesting. .
