gobbledonk Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonobo If chimps can evolve, so can we. Not suggesting we take the Bonobo approach - amazed they havent all been killed off by an STD - but the point is they found a way to resolve conflict that (usually) doesn't involve beating one another's heads in. What's it going to take for man to accomplish that feat of evolution ? As with any animal, put them in a cage and things can get very nasty. Its also worth noting that their empathy doesnt extend to their prey, but this is a wild animal - we started walking upright and wearing clothes how many years ago ?? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonobo#Peacefulness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Bloody hell, I am usually on all fours and only throw on rags to be semi decent whilst going to family mart. Mr Donk, no need to reply, we have agreed to be civil and have a laugh rather than take things serious. Cheers Kong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are posting here, chances are you're pretty much a bonobo . So perhaps that's the answer: maybe these Thai bouncers need to get laid more .

Wallenda Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Some questions. 1. What's the story with the "Outlaws" and Soi 4? I totally missed this development. I heard of Nana being taken over, but that was by an Aussie motorcycle gang? (???) 2. When did this video happen? Who's the guy in it who gets attacked? What happened to him -- was he ok afterward? Anyone know why this happened? Seriously, this video is exactly the kind of irrefutable evidence that could have these attackers (particularly the guy doing the kicking) in prison. I would be surprised if there weren't guys on the Thai forums (or maybe even this one) who even know who that guy is. This video would be irresistible to news programs looking to do a story on the dark side of Thailand, so that threat could create a nice wedge to encourage action on this.

Boo Radley Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Came across another 'farang beating' video on this Chinese Facebook page. Not sure what sparked it. You can hear some Thais in the background saying PAW LAEW (enough!) trying to stop it. https://www.facebook...pages_video_set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Maybe this was the one on the Thai TV news this morning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bust Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 You sure it's Thai and not Chinese? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Radley Posted September 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 You sure it's Thai and not Chinese? No not sure since the video is so blurry, but the comments on the page (English and Chinese) seem to suggest so. Here's another link to the same video on Youtube where the title is " Visitors be hit Location: Thailand" [sic]. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNXmbngD64E Maybe this was the one on the Thai TV news this morning? Didn't see that one. Any links? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
