Re: When need comes a knockin'
Piece of a train.... you are about as low as anyone can go when you are talking utter shit about being sooooo selfish and self righteous. This is the typical crap i hear from 99% of the english teachers in Thailand..... The good thing is, they don't last too long as living in a "non-farang world" seems to do their heads in.....Obviously you are one of them.

Re: When need comes a knockin'
Thanks everyone for your wonderful feedback. I will submit it to the proper people.
I'm doing fine here. I've just been doing too much grant work back home in group homes and institutions. One bipolar guy had a habit of taking poor, dirty people in. His judgment was bad, and that was his drawback.
I feel too for sufferers who take medications for psychological disorders. I help, but in a different way...

Re: When need comes a knockin'
Well, while I like to think I'd take the guy in, I can't say for sure.
He could, after all, wig out and hack his generous host to death.
Unlikely, but possible!

Re: When need comes a knockin'
Prosocial behavior.
Just look at Sempo Sugihara. He saved a bunch of Jews from extermination. Was a highly revered diplomat with the hope of being Japanese ambassador in Russia. Gave up his career to write visa papers for these Jews from the Nazi Regime.
He ended up selling lightbulbs after he got fired from his diplomatic career. Went against the orders of his officials.
Originally he came from an upright, fierce, samurai family.

It's a known fact that the general population is more inclined to commit heinous crimes than challenged people.

Someone like you with a family and small children, would need to take that into consideration for sure.
Because it's not just your welfare in question in that case.

Fair play.
You're a brave man (and better than I probably am, and PT too!)

True. But the mentally ill (physiologically ill really) need to be integrated more into society...both here and in the States. Too many guys I saw were locked into warehouses with nothing.
I managed their finances, counseled them, and cleaned up after them...but I know that some of them, with the right direction, could have been on their own were it not that I had an over-controlling CEO, and they had a conservator and a guardian who had financial interest in keeping them where they were.

That's what usually happens with people who formerly work day shifts rather than night shifts. They speak two different languages.

Re: When need comes a knockin'
Good on you Jimbo.
The guy obviously had it enough together to clear American and Thai customs.
