put it in your vlog a month ago and you blew me off have a video on what is she going to do if you are dying.. you don't want to know how many people I have seen die here in 20 years .. and how many partners have been left with nothing because we are all going to live forever . It's not being stupid , it's being selfish..
I didn't blow it off, I've only spoke about it a 1000 times. Unless you're married or have children, you are not responsible for the welfare of anyone.
@@calroach1 ok let me give you a scenario, you are in your 60's, you meet a girl in her mid to late 20's , we know filipina menatlity of living for today and not worrying about tomorrow. You make it to your late 70's which puts her around 40's. You have lived here long enough to know the workforce for women is not comprised of 40yr olds. Selling saomiai on the corner is your future. I find it a little selfish to put someone who invested those years of her life in that position. Granted it was her choice but blowing it off as you are not responsible for anyone I find rather nacissistic but thats just me. By the way Mark has a kid so we will see how that turns out.
two months ago in a video titled THE HARSH REALITIES OF LIFE AFTER 60! Mark talks about death, and how we don't know how much time we have left. I recommend watching it.
Mark Thornton was not a bully in my opinion. I've seen his videos where he had actually tried to visit and help other expats..He had a issue with another guy at a coffee shop once I think.. I've been here soon to be 10 years now..I've had issues with mostly fellow expats. And just simply walked away..life is too short and I didn't come here for that..He was a older gentleman in his late 60,s or early 70,s who had a lot of setbacks in his life, but also had a lot of accomplishments.. He was a cruise director/ entertainer , camera, / light man among other things and had undergone a triple bypass heart surgery..He was trying to find a 2nd life to be happy, as all of us here are trying to do..He was Not a Bully and for the record...No man is Perfect...plss think about that
Mark was one of the first channels about the Philippines that I started watching. I enjoyed some of his early interviews, especially the ones with Justin, the critter hunter. A couple of incidents happened that alienated him from some Dumaguete expats. He was also a liberal and made it known that he was a democrat. Despite that, he entertained everyone's viewpoint and often stated that he supported certain policies such as fixing the borders. He named his son Rogan after Joe Rogan. He often credited Paul the old dog for helping him start his channel, but it seems like their relationship had soured somewhat. I hope that his haters can make peace with him now. RIP Mark.😢🏝🇵🇭
i to followed him at first. After he repeated a proven dem lie, i was done watching him. he was definitely on a down slide after that. Maybe Rogan now Knowing many political truths was too much for him. We should learn from other people's mistakes. Don't get Arrogant, don't use the power you have to hurt others. Remember we all will be judged!!
@@51dbail Do you mind if I ask what that lie is? I don't want to get all political, I'm not even American, but I'm just interested. Seems there's a lot of lies over there on both sides. Well more and bigger than normal.
Hey Calvin Mark was good person and I told him so...I hope u have a great day man...Tomorrow is not promised...We never know when we will draw our last breath...God bless u and your family
Cal very touching words and so true I couldn’t have said it better myself about people & life 💯% I’m proud to call you a friend It’s not easy to find someone that speaks the truth like you. 🇺🇸🎄🇵🇭
I didn’t know Mark and didn’t agree with everything he said or did but I did like his interviews. It was interesting to hear about people’s life story. I respected his work and condolences 💐 to his family. I know it’s not easy when people pass suddenly like he did 😢 May he RIP
So sorry to hear of Mark's passing. I'm not a subscriber to your channel, Calvin. This video showed up in my recommended list and I was intrigued by the title. A little more than halfway through the video and I totally agree with you. Thoughts and prayers for Mark's family and to you and yours.
Amen. Love on your people, good friends, and family while they are still alive to receive it. We take life for granted so much. Every now and then, I get a reminder not to take what I have and life for granted.
Totally agree, Calvin! Mark, Paul old dog, (and yours) were the first few channels I started watching about Philippines expats. Mark had many interesting talks and interviews, I thought he was sensible, smart, and had an interesting life. I heard some story about a fight at a coffee shop a while back but I don't know and it's none of my business. He seemed happy and content with his wife and baby.
Mad respect for you not putting 'Mark Thornton' in the title of your video. Nice to see someone say what they want to say without climbing up on the shoulders of someone who just passed because he is the flavor of the day / week / month.
You put your face out there, you attract lovers and haters. In this day and age the drama factor is what seems to attract the most attention. Being on YT is another ball game, especially amongst that community with jealousy and envy a big part. Problem is, you go public with yourself, you get publicly scrutinised, you need a thick skin dodging the, mostly pathetic, keyboard warriors. I like getting info from channels like yours and late Mark's, and am sorry that he got taken too early, much strength and wisdom to his beautiful wife and young son, keep at it Calvin, and let your thick skin bounce off the haters and nay sayers, stay fearless 😊
Take it easy, it's just culture. I remember when Prez Nixon died, and was remembered as if he was a national hero. No harm in being kind in his eulogy.
I will miss Mark….we disagreed on things but I continued to watch his channel. Calvin I disagree with you on some not all things but I continue to watch and support your channel. Prayers to his wife and family 🙏😢😢😢😢
Jeeze Calvin. Step back and look. The folks who did not care much for Mark are mostly silent. The ones with no ill will are online with their condolences. Ohh dont take everything so personal as you said.
You missed the point totally. The people making the videos have never met Mark or have no close relationship with him. It was crickets two weeks ago while he was alive. Do they really feel so passionate about him? I doubt it.
Amen Calvin !!! People seemingly love and respect the dead more than the living. And I think people show love to the dead more so to win points from their imaginary god in the sky. Damn hypocrites. Take care Calvin and keep telling the truth!
I know what you mean Calvin. Last week my dad died and because of the family I chose not to respond or go. The very ones that called first were the guilt calls from the very people I didn't want to hear from. I told them so so too . I just try to make new good friends to replace the past.
Viewers, most important at this time is marks wife and child and what they are going through dealing with his passing. Money's may not be available to his wife for several days or even weeks. Reach out to her if you can, send her some money , if she has no fast funds It's the right thing to do.
Social media ranks right up there with jumbo shrimp and military intelligence. At it's best it's some kid yelling to the world, "hey everybody, look at me". At it's worst it's monetized narcissism.
Truth. A hundred years from now, nobody will be reading these texts ir looking at videos about ex pat life in the Phillipines from 2024, but they will still be reading Charles Dickens and Shakespeare. 😅
I have watched some of these RIP videos and the people honestly don't seem to know anything about him... I've heard people say he was military, ship captain, history of strokes, all wrong and just for views...what a load of crap!
Geeze Calvin! Don't drive your blood presser up. 🙄😛 We don't give 2 fu.ks about the haters. We enjoy your program some great information and some B.S. A few laughs some joking around. A good mix. What I really like is.....come 5000 km... and your their to greet a stranger with a bed and meal some general information....and point him in the right direction for the lost soul is not sure what the future brings. Thank you for being their. Rest in peace Mark. Nice program ....Talked about the beginning of someone's journey in the Philippines...I liked it. ...Haters are just jealous people. I feel sorry for them ...really! Never will enjoy life. Keep up the good deeds Calvin......until next time TAKE CARE. 🙃
Your absolutely spot on, a lot people disliked him for sure and for good reason. I saw a lot of videos on RUclips what people thought about him personally and it was more hate than love. Well another leaf fell off the tree of life, and tomorrow another will fall, missed by a few forgotten by many and couldn't care by most folks..
So true, Calvin. I don't understand it. I use to call my folks back home after moving thousands of miles away. That's why transitioning to live permanently to Southeast Asia will be a peace of cake...but I digress...anyway... RIP MARK... P.S. A person can do something about you lov'n them, Calvin... We can love you back😂 ❤
Life lessons no matter your age, race, religion, or whether you live i youur country or are an expat. You do not know when the music will stop playing on your soundtrack.
If you want to stay at my house in Bohol, hit me up, it is an awesome place in Dauis. I have someone there from the 1st to the 4th, but would love to have you stay there. Merry Christmas.
Most are posting for content and views and didn’t know the guy. What I don’t like are some are asking for donations for his wife and kid. I find that despicable. Mark’s family seems to have money. One post his wife doesn’t have access to his accounts. Yeah right.
Death is the only lesson we cannot learn from ourselves so we must rely on others' to be the example. The positive videos you see about him arent about him, they are about them.
Sad that its the envious loser expats around him who did all the diss'n and the same ones posting nice obituaries here on YT. I only followed three of you guys, the Dawg, Sunshine and Mark. Thanks Calvin!

Damn, didn't know he passed. I stopped watching his vlog a while back due to some bad choices he made and it wasn't for me anymore. But condolences to his family. Have to agree with you Calvin, people can be shockingly ignorant and full of crap. I have my own moments, but damn.
Amen. You always makin us think. Good walk n talk. P.S. I see the MaAwani expansion coming along. But what they building across the street from MaAwani?
Calvin, you are so right. People SUCK. I disagreed with a lot Mark said/did. Big deal so what we are adults we are not going to agree on everything. I see some videos on his death, and some a$$ criticize him. DAMN, the man is RIP, all you doing is hurting is wife and family. It disgusts me. If you are a BAD man and criticize someone, BE a MAN, get in his face and call him out, you weak a$$ people. IF you. have a problem come find me, I'm sure Calvin would say the same thing. BRING it weak a$$es!!!

Great video Bro.Calvin! RIP to Mark Thornton!
Calvin, I love your channel because you keep it REAL!!!!
Mark interviewed me twice and was a great man. His passing came as a huge shock. My condolences go out to Jen, Rogan and family.

Happy holidays Larry Lar 😂
@calroach1 🫡
Met Mark twice and came to the Philippines twice partially because of his videos (as well as Sunshine's). RIP brother.
Just taking a couple minutes out of my day here in Mindanao, to say you are not hated by me, and hope you and your family are well.
Thanks brother. Enjoy the rest of your day.

Mark was ok.
No better and no worse.
I watched him and all the other expat channels.
I take what i want and leave the rest.
That's how I see it.
I hope Jen and the baby will be okay
He was without a doubt a Great Interviewer, and s/w some amazing Characters ..
Well said Calvin, RIP Mark.
Good Afternoon, Mr. Calvin... Your Right! They wait to say nice things ....why wait?
Any of us can go at any moment. Be right with God. We can help his widow.
Sad to hear about Marks passing...RIP to him and I hope he made provisions for his young family.

WOW! Sad news to hear about Mark. I always say that I prefer blessings to curses. Peace
Hey Cal, I agree people are stupid that's why I spend a lot of time alone...Mark was a friend
Hello Dale. I love you and there's nothing you can do about it 😅

I will miss Mark….we disagreed on things but I continued to watch his channel. Calvin I disagree with you on some not all things but I continue to watch and support your channel. Prayers to his wife and family 🙏😢😢😢😢
Why was Mark hated? This is news to me. RIP! I really enjoyed his interviews.
I don't know. Ask the haters.
Jealousy
Absolutely 👊🏽😎❤️
May God bless his soul.........
Calvin speaks the truth while everyone else monetizes a tragedy.
2 faced people are all around us, it’s what our world has come too.. right or wrong… stand for something !

We never met. But I would miss your videos Calvin.. just like I miss Kevin Samuels
I miss the godfather also

I think he's on the Rag today
It's a big story, so everyone is cashing in on it. Personally, I was not a fan but didn't wish for the man to die.
I have watched some of these RIP videos and the people honestly don't seem to know anything about him... I've heard people say he was military, ship captain, history of strokes, all wrong and just for views...what a load of crap!
My point exactly.
Ive been following mark Thornton since 6 months ago recent news about hes passing is heart breaking specially for the wife and children, rip mark
That's RUclips for you, anything to get the views. People will hate / praise only when it's in their benefit to do so..

Why would you be hated?
Great question that you'd have to ask the haters 😅
Cal is too agreeable for people to hate on him and some are straight up haters
@underratedgod6899 facts they can't help their own situation, so they try to make other people miserable because they are.
I said the same thing and this video popped up. Me too Bro. Me too.
Oh no, I did not know he died. Such sad news.
Wow first time hearing this I'm shocked.
Nobody wants to honest all the way through
Ahh well going suddenly is a blessing in its way. Gotta agree on human stupidity. In Oz we say "they'd rather a fight than a feed "
This hurts. This really hurts.
Oh wow R.I.P Mark!
Death is the only lesson we cannot learn from ourselves so we must rely on others' to be the example.
The positive videos you see about him arent about him, they are about them.
What did he die of
@@johnnieabreu7030 apparently stroke , unfortunately he said in a few vids he was in testereone injections
Tell it Cal!
The jab & boosters is what got mark thortion and many others
It's very beautiful there you was showing the mountains you said a volcano
Oh. So those same vloggers that put hate on thornton are now putting vlogs about his death ???
And strangers who didn't know him and people who don't care.
RIP mark 🙏
I like you Calvin 😊
You tell it like it is😊
I hate that too that's why I hate funnals
Sad that its the envious loser expats around him who did all the diss'n and the same ones posting nice obituaries here on YT. I only followed three of you guys, the Dawg, Sunshine and Mark. Thanks Calvin!
Wow didn't know RIP he went out his way
Humans Beings are merely human !
Mark had a bad heart like John did ! Sure miss John
Damn, i just looked him up. He was hated by many. Yikes!
Damn shame.
@calroach1 was he that bad or just jealousy?
@Matakui2011 I didn't know Mark personally, only in passing.
why focus on those who hate? He was liked by WAY more...
@222jojo watch the video again it's not just about people who hated him. It's about no one cares until he died.
At least people are being nice towards him. The massive loads of stupid ex-pat drama BS is at least quieter for a day.
Mark Thornton was an angry bully. Don’t sugarcoat it.
This is not about Mark Thornton!
