Yes I would care to elaborate. You claimed that Chinese roads were more civilised than those in Thailand or Taiwan and then went on to say that it was common practice in the latter country to reverse over people you had knocked over to ensure they were dead. So, by inference, one would assume you think that Thai drivers are equally callous.

I have not found this to be the case and the fact that you would suggest it is the case, is of course offensive to Thai people. I don't think I need to elaborate on why making uninformed sweeping generalisations...
hehehehehe

someone put up a cleanup report maybe. yes i noticed that... strange. i honestly think it was a healthy argument and discussion about humanity. ok, its off-trading, but that is to us humans. removal of that is another ignorant act of ignoring that tragedy.
Have I got something on my face, SOLDIER?

Cheers Ukman, you will see my full response in the extracted posts.
The fact that you saw a dead body on the road in Thailand over a 2-year period and haven't yet seen one in China after 6 years is irrelevant. It's a very flimsy premise for your argument. I've lived here for 8 years and never seen a dead body on the road, so if I move to China and see one within 2 years I can argue the opposite. You need a much larger study than your personal experiences before making silly generalisations.

By the way, I didn't call you stupid or offensive, I said your comment was.

Ukman,

We have all just watched a video. And after that we all made a number of generalizations about human nature. I am assuming that none of us had an actual study to base our generalizations on. So your comment could well apply to all of us.

No offence to Thailand. I will be there in a month and I am looking forward to it. In fact, my only real intent was to make sure that people did not see this as something "the Chinese" did. Ie did not make a generalization about the Chinese.

Maybe your intent was good but what you actually said, after having watched that video, was that Taiwanese and Thai roads were worse than Chinese roads...I think it's easy to see why some might be offended.

Anyway, forget it, it's not important. I am probably over sensitive to criticism of Thailand as the majority of expats over here spend their whole time moaning about the country and the people and it starts to grate after a while.

As am I to criticism of China. And I assure you there is no lack of criticism of China, so I have to work pretty hard.

Question to anybody that is kind enough to answer:

Is the pattern that has formed in the USD/CHF 5M chart over the last 4 hours what you might call a fat lady? I've never been completely sure if I grasped the meaning of that description properly or not.

Hi Mark,

I guess I'm kind enough but unfortunately now knowledgeable enough.
I do not know anything about a fat lady - sorry ...

Hi friends,

someone ha recomended me a really mind opening book.

Here a small excerpt, cause I guess I'm one of theses discussing guys in the car ...

Attention is not the same thing as concentration. Concentration is exclusion; attention, which is total awareness, excludes nothing. It seems to me that most of us are not aware, not only of what we are talking about but of our environment, the colours around us, the people, the shape of the trees, the clouds, the movement of water. Perhaps it is because we are so concerned with ourselves, with our own petty little problems, our own ideas, our own pleasures, pursuits and ambitions that we are not objectively aware. And yet we talk a great deal about awareness.

Once in India I was travelling in a car. There was a chauffeur driving and I was sitting beside him. There were three gentlemen behind discussing awareness very intently and asking me questions about awareness, and unfortunately at that moment the driver was looking somewhere else and he ran over a goat, and the three gentlemen were still discussing awareness - totally unaware that they had run over a goat. When the lack of attention was pointed out to those gentlemen who were trying to be aware it was a great surprise to them.



It' from the book "Freedom from the known" by Jiddu Krishnamurti.

As far as I know it is one of his license free books ....



CU,
Niels

I'm not familiar with a "fat lady" pattern exactly, but have had it referenced in the context of when patterns break their respective defining supports/resistance's.... like a H&S pattern breaking it's neckline i.e. The Fat Lady just sung.

Thanks Niels. Another great lesson to bear in mind. For me, being open minded is not an issue... the issue is being consistent about it...

Hi Friends,

A lot is being discussed about what I would like to call 'Mind Therapy'. I am posting a link about the famous book by German philosopher Immanual Kant. This is really a very complex book but one can gain many insights about independence and objectiveness of judgement.
