All this stuff about being on bended knee to ones 'beloved' might suit you but for me it is utter nonsense. I do know a couple of guys (you being one of them) who have successfully brought over FSU ladies. One guy sent his woman back to Ukraine and the jury is out on another one. I can only say I personally know one couple that is truly balanced and happy. You seem to be quite angry. Why I don't know. You seem to swipe at anybody that disagrees with you or sees things through a different lens.
It is so easy to label those that you disagree with the word 'sex tourist' like it was a bad thing! Such nonsense. On the black end you have pure disconnected sex with a wad of cash exchanging hands - on the white end you have loves young dream. In between there are about 10 million shades of grey.

As for being influenced by Toad. Yes, both negatively and positively, however I have nothing to do with him anymore and I only really knew him briefly. I have also been influenced by you and very much by Quiet Charm plus a few others away from this forum. I have also learned stuff by observing others and saying either that something is beyond my reach or I just plain don't want any part of that. Things vary for me; I don't have the privilege of seeing things as dogmatically right and wrong as you do. You have been blessed with a 'gift'. That is to be able to self righteously say whether something is 'good' or 'bad'. Truly a divine gift.
I suggest that you calm down and stop being so aggressive when it is totally not called for.
The odd comments I make here are legitimate. If I can occasionally offer an alternative viewpoint to the chestnuts offered here over and over again do I have your permission? Is it ok with you for me to write here once in a great while?

Regarding other forums. I belong to quite a few. A Thai forum, a British TV one another about travel. Interesting that when I have talked on the Thai forum about FSU nobody has angrily said 'go peddle that somewhere else'. No, the Thai forum is not all about sex. Lots of information about the Thai language, customs and general travel. Although I am not going to make excuses for them, many of those guys are quite disgusting.
Things are not always what they seem. Mike00 says some things that I agree with so does Viva. They also say some things that I think are trash. That is the nature of people. They are not my 'sex tourist buddies'. Calm down and switch to decaf.
Ok I am done. Enough already - no purpose is served by my presence here. In many ways I agree with those that say I shouldn't be here.
My life is private and it doesn't make too much sense to continue allowing anybody here to even get the tiniest glimpse into it.
It has become an even worse pillory than it ever was. Intolerant, feelgood and dispensing whacked out impressions of what is waiting for the newcomer to the FSU.
Best wishes to all of you whether we agree or not. Each has his own path to walk and should have that respected.
Yes Bangkok airport is astonishing ..... as it falls apart:
The head of the inquiry into the construction of Suvarnabhumi airport suspects the cracked and uneven surfaces of runways and taxiways stems from substandard construction.
Praphan Khoonmee, head of the inquiry sub-committee set up by the Suvarnabhumi airport committee of the National Legislative Assembly, and panel members yesterday inspected runways and taxiways where surface cracks are mushrooming.
They found many surface cracks at holding areas for both the western and eastern runways.
The cracks are fine, short and longitudinal and believed caused by the weight of aircraft waiting to take off.
Many parts of the taxiways are uneven and cracked. Most of the flaws are waves in the pavement. The cracks are about a palm wide, a few centimetres deep and less than a metre long at each spot.
Mr Praphan said he heard from staff of Airports of Thailand Plc (AoT) that the problem began only two weeks after Suvarnabhumi opened on Sept 28. It had spread to more than 100 spots with the combined area of taxiway damage more than 100,000 square metres
UPDATE:
Looks like things are getting worse
Minister threatens airport executives
(TNA) - Transport Minister Thira Haocharoen said today he is unhappy with the Airports of Thailand over taxiway repairs at Suvarnabhumi Airport and threatened to "reshuffle" AoT management if repairs are delayed any more.
The minister said if the cracks get worse, or present any obstacle to taking off and landing of aircraft, he would close the facility for repair.
Whether the taxiway would be partially or entirely closed for repair would be determined again.
He conceded taxiway and runway cracks would be used as one of reasons for his decision on whether the Don Muang International Airport would be reopened for some flight services.
He said he had already urged the tackling of the problems through the board, but it seemed the management was slow in coping with them.
The minister on Monday said he had urged the company's board and management to probe and deal with the cracks initially found in 60-to-100 spots of almost 10 areas of the airport.
An initial examination found the problem might stem from the filling and levelling of taxiway areas with sand that does not meet the standard.
However, he said he would wait for details of the examination. Should there be any irregularities, an investigation would be made. Those involved in the irregularities must be punished.
Regarding a contractor's plan to seek compensation for a claim from Dhipaya Insurance Plc by citing taxiway cracks resulted from major flooding last year, Adm Thira said he needed to heed the reasons given by many parties. He could not judge based on information given by a particular party.
Unless its performance improves, he said, the board had authority to reshuffle it.
Me's thinks the condition of the slight mishap is the only thing that is stable.
The horses are running amuck in the castle disturbed by the refurbishing!!!!
The airport has been mired in allegations of corruption since its fanfare opening last September, with complaints of sub-standard materials used in its construction, not just on runways and taxiways, but throughout the terminal.
Critics have called the airport a monument to the alleged corruption of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, whose administration handed out most of the airport's building contracts.
viva yes mate thank god you can see through the crap yourself and you know 7 or 8 others on hear have seen have viewed have analysed what we encounter there in fsu.
issadag mate it is correct as i say the vast majority ok we ( good guys are already giving security) all of our time $4000/ $5000 a pop on each trip and iam now to embark on trip 15 i mean you know --------errr fair go ! 15 x lets say 4k = 60k -----mate ive done that just on fares !.
Then you get into the situation they find 1000 excuses for you ---- each one is going to cost you a quid --------ok ive managed now to control my girls habits narrowed em down to sensibility but hell it took some doing !.
Nobody will ever convince me the lovely russian /ukrainian girl will ever just slide away with a nice western chap if he does not have the bus fare home ------VIVA knows it i can think of 8 others hear that know it ohh so well .
Hey speaking to a guy today who tuns a site exposing the russian scammers!!! his name is mike he's in USA SAID TO ME TODAY and happy to cut and paste his letter onto hear if you like with his addy email -ask him what he thinks .
He's to the point of frustration said to me ---------mate i just don't know anymore if there is any good ones -i get 18 complaints some weeks is unreal the fabrication some produce just for a dollar .
Saying this though he said to me hey i can steer you to places in the world where apprieciation far outwieghs scam .
I know sure everything costs your lady has needs wheather she is eskimo or a russian sure i dont mind paying at all --------the HARD part is working out whats a genuine need put forward by them,
and whats is a fabricated need just because you have just visited the atm put 6k rubles in your sky rocket and 35 seconds later they just remembered they needed something ----and guess what that 6k rubles ------- she just went west .
How right am i VIVA ! HMMM !!
No i want my security rewarded by --zero wroughts placed upon oneself -------i like russia and for over 5 years my company gives -free to an orphanage in far east russia $1000 a year usd ive got the recipts if you like .
Now if a bloke is going to do that -----well you don't want to be asked for anymore ay !i do it because i want to -not because i have too.
And iam happy to do --my criteria is you never look gift horse in the mouth - your left alone --your appriecited thats 60's style thats where i live in the principles world .
If iam going to help somebody il want gratitude -reason being i don't have to do it ay !
how many on hear give $1000 a year to orphange hmmm ! rest my case on that matter .
The huge want for money as Mike states on his scam site should not be there they grew up with zero anything is a bonus and without western guys to take em on put up with all the shit the head cases the princes / princess scenario --a lot of its crap but its the path they follow.
Well in my book they should be gratefull a bloke has had the caring to go far to a strange and dangerous land to look after them --------sorry but thats the way i see it .
it works for me same girl now over 3 years --few times ive wanted to trade her in but she seems to right the wrongs ------on the death knock you know .
just remember guys she can never pay you back well not in finances for what your doing - iam not being hard on em i love mine ------but in the closet that fact remains!!! and we can't deny it -------without our support at days end --they are back in the mud -they know it--- and on hear the ones with brains will know it too.
I LOVE HELPING FOLKS - for that i do expect decency / loyalty / honesty - if a man displays all that and is willing to go the whole mile then it should not be even a question of --------''you having to keep her on the straight and narrow'' --------
If she has a brain she will know that a western guy in fsu can have another bird in the time it takes to have a coffee .
If she is ok she will have that foresite thing in herself ( jeses wept if i dont toe the line iam not in that pretty apartment anymore ).
They only have to do the right thing in my book --------so many of them dont - short sighted jeses you would sell a lot of ''guide dogs to FSU women'' as very few see only todays $$$ and tomorrows security is out the window -------they shoot themselves in the foot --- as yet ive not worked out how many actually know they are doing it.
They are born in survival mode --you know there scratching from day one and they are so used to it -that when ''the rescuer arrives from the west '' well they dont have the forsight to say to themselves -------hang about this bloke cant just change life around for me for 14 days -hell he can keep the gravy coming forever ..
Thats where thier logic takes a fall -------they have little choice not meaning that in a bad way --they can easy bring me to tears but ----most of the time they dont see the long term in relations - very sad i do hope logic comes home to roost .
FF,
I wasn't aware that King Arthur was ever around to fight with the Germans and ..... what was it that saved the British? 22 miles of water, WOW! But it didn't save the Channel Islands did it? As I recall they are kinda British :)
