Have they been defeated?

[gerefan2]

Where have they all gone? Not a noisy, helmetless, fast motorbike to be seen anywhere near Soi 17 or Yensabai. And it is not even Ramadan....
Look at these sad pictures this evening (Sunday) at 2100 hours. Streets deserted, restaurants closed or empty, Shops up for rent ...
Well they bought it upon themselves... but look what they have left us with:

Top two are what is left of Two guys,

Next pic is the Soi leading to Yensabai Condo taken from outside the defunct Casino.

This Soi used to contain a bookshop, a laundry, an Italian Restauant and even a gogo Bar! Nothing left of them. The Belgian restaurant (Sanongs) struggles on.

Last pic is an example of empty shop fronts in Soi Yensabai.

Shame it will never return to the way it was.

High season for those [Deleted text] Arabs is opposite most others high season it is when their [Deleted text] countries are unbarebly hot, most of those assholes on the bikes are Kawaiti and come here on their long summer brakes...if you know where the Paradise hotel is it will be full of these [Deleted text] as well as the small hotels that pepper the streets that surround Sunee.

Some of the text in this post has been deleted as it violated rule 4.7.

A fascinating piece of racism. Do you have any more gems like this?

But only recently our esteemed management team (Moses and a447) vehemently asserted that a poster can't be guilty of racism if the targets of his prejudice are not a race - as Arabs are not.

Surely MFAS should demand the deletions been re-instated - unless of course there are different rules for different posters.

I'm not sure it's as clear-cut as you say http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Arab

I searched that very source before making my comment - I try not to leave anything to chance on a board populated by several snarling hyenas:

Here is the Google search result:

"Arab - New World Encyclopedia
www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Arab

23 Mar 2018 - An overwhelming majority of Arabs are Muslim, members of the faith founded by the .... Race: The term "Arab" does not refer to a particular race.
‎"Defining" an "Arab" · ‎History · ‎Religions · ‎Culture"

But as you please - as far as I'm concerned the above seems as clear cut as anything can possibly be - and it's the very source you point to.

of course they could just have been obscene, hateful or threatening rather than racist

Yes you are right. I had forgotten about that...was just so god smacked at what I saw around Soi 17 and Yensabai now.

I suppose it was some form of wishful thinking.

I miss the italian restaurant. I've had many dinners there and the italian boss was such a nice guy.
What gogo bar was on that soi? That was before my time.
