A fine example of misrepresenting comments by deliberately including only part of a quote.
"Arab Motorcycle scum"
From the Collins dictionary: "If you refer to people as scum, you are expressing your feelings of dislike and disgust for them."
this is the title of the thread - what context do you think I have left out here?
"Death is what they deserve"
"Send in the army"
"Lock them up so they miss their flights home"
sorry I have looked back to the posts that I got these from and I don't really see the context that justifies such statements in a reasonable civil discussion that I thought we were supposed to be having here!

Good. Now you get to tell us
your reaction.
as I said the fundamental issue here is a dysfunctional police force, but I don't see any of the "solutions" proposed here to be any more likely to be implemented or more effective than police reform, so apart from making us feel better for having our 2 cents worth aired, what is really achieved?

What on earth does one have to do with the other?
prostitution is as illegal in Thailand as motorcycle street racing, but we like prostitution and discuss it regularly here, and like to think of it as a "victimless crime", but prostitution and sex tourism/sexpats have a significant impact, probably more than Kwaiti motorcycle racing, else why does the rest Thailand look down so on Pattaya, and why do so many of our friends back home ask embarrassing questions about the time we spend there?
but not surprisingly, and no more justifiably, they use the same language as we see here - scum, lock them up, they deserve to get AIDS and die. I find it offensive there and I find it offensive here but we supposedly think we are having a much more civil discussion here!
