Diffusing two physical altercations in Pattaya Thailand

I started writing this up this morning, and then I decided to make a video instead.

The physical altercations were directed at me, one from a little Thai guy, then another from a little American guy who got enraged when I said, “I LOVE Trump.”

It’s interesting to me how calm one can become when everything seems to be going your way.

Don’t take the bait. We’re watching them destroy themselves.

    I was originally attracted to your posts about your discipline. You also said you gave up drinking for life. Making a video about drinking – while drinking – not a good look. Posting about how much you drank and drive – isn’t inspiring.

      And virtue signaling is boring.
