Let the USA bashers have their say. I find their comments quite amusing.

They are not Australian....they cannot handle the truth.

Washington Square - circulate between the Silver Dollar, Texas Lone Star and Bourbon Street and you'll find a few from the US.  Finding some who aren't to the right of Genghis Khan may be harder!

Better hurry up........Silver Dollar is gone (or was it Lone Star?) and Bb St. is coming to it's last month in W Square. New location in Ekkamai opened already..........

Too late all three are gone and the couple that are lfet will be gone by 1Mar12.

Just getting used to admit to being American again. While Bush was in office, I told everyone I was Canadian to avoid being a target. Not easy with a Texas drawl.

Lucky you didn't meet any Celine Dion haters then. They're out there too.

What happened to the request for OPEN discussion....

[drdaveperry]

I have known for all my life that the Good Ole USA is the greatest country in the world. Judging by the constant influx of immigrants this must also be the world’s view. It is time for Americans to grow up… The up and coming Presidential Election is reducing most Americans to the level of ill-mannered children. Realize not everyone in the world has the same opinion of US President Barack Hussein Obama. We should be allowed to express our viewpoint of whom we choose to represent our country..................

Sounds a bit arrogant don't you think? These days, the poorest access to health care in the western world, among the highest incarceration rates in the entire world, massive unemployment, economic inequality worse than Thailand ... I could go on. Best to see things clearly.

You should visit. Especially if you're in the market for junk bond level real estate. They're practically giving it away!

Where do American's get together in Bangkok to discuss the condition of their country?

I thought that was one of the more compelling reasons for not living in the US ... avoiding gatherings of Americans and especially not being subjected to political rhetoric (i.e. bombastic rubbish)  24/7.

[Pinot]

I live in Phuket and there just aren't many Americans around. As an Irish Catholic boy from Boston, you guess where my politic heart lies. With many ex cop/military here and Fox noise being the only source of US TV political news, I leave politics alone when I meet a fellow American. I'd love to discuss the ridiculous soap opera the Republican primary has become but I have to walk away from the racist rants or punch someone. Talk about sports, it's less confrontational.

And you're doing such a good job of avoiding Americans on this forum...

[thehelmsman]

The Americans who have the time to holiday in Thailand don't have the money and the ones with money are busy working. The ones you meet are most likely overseas workers and merchant seaman.
