Yep, but Muslim teachers don't have to, but farangs do. They want farangs bowing to their false gods.
is not an insincere wai an insult ?
I know a couple of people who went on such a course... guess what, a complete waste of time, the only criteria for passing was sitting in a classroom for 20 hours, the Thai lecturers were unable to answer when questioned about Thai culture. For example they taught that Nong was used for younger people and Pi for older and became confused when asked if that ever varies. The course was 95% Filipinos it really doesn't seem to be a necessity for farangs to take it.
Maybe the UK government should force all thais temporarily working in thai restaurants in the UK to go to church.
Didn't think there were any Christians left in the UK?
^^Do you think a Thai teacher teaching in a Catholic school in the UK would be required to learn and follow Catholicism or not?
Won't be long when they have erm wearing womans dresses :)
Or a thai teaching thai language in the UK be forced to pray to the holy spirit.Quote:

I don't see a problem forcing people to respect the institutions of a country. If that means shooting pakis for complaining about Mrs Jenkins and her collection of ceramic piggy banks, good!
^ its all the same bullshit in my godless opinion.
^I'd always thought you were a Sunday school teacher:confused:
Did one a few years back
Course went something like this.
Why are you in Thailand - Flippers say to make money, we say for women - wrong answer.
Can you write your name in Thai - no = we are not culturally aware.
...
Assistant director who attended the course whispers in my ear that he needs to go shopping for a bit. I jump at the chance and offer to drive leaving behind the other teachers we took there. Spend the day fannying about with the boss and hanging out on the beach.
repeat x 3 (remembering to sign in) and recieve a certificate.
The thai letters on my keyboard have nearly completely disappeared, they must add them on with biro or something like that. It's a logitech and the normal alphabet is still clear.
In much the same way that xtians want others to bow to the xtian false gods! glasshouses people live stone throw shouldn't whoQuote:

^exactly... you don't even have to do it, just watch someone else do it.
Why then are the Thais considering Buddhism to be their 'National Religion'?Quote:

As a non Christian I also consider the effigies of a man being crucifierd as a common criminal to also be a false god, in much the same way as I also consider stained glass pictures of the so call trinity to be nothing more than an effigy to a false godhead. Yet when in Christian temples I am expected to, and actually do, show respect to the objects of worship that Christians have decided to use. I have been in such temples and been expected, nay almost forced, to dip my finger into a bowl of dubious quality water and annoint my body with it. Where is the difference in that to bowing ones head to a Buddha image?
Its about respect Mr Hat, if you and yours choose to worship the buttcrack of an aging buffalo as your godhead, then I may think you are as crazy as the christians, but I will still respect your godhead in your company, even if I do laugh my fcuking socks off when I am away from you
Why do the british consider anglo catholicism as their 'National Religion'? Why is the british monach 'Defender of the faith'?Quote:

And, by the way, I really had no idea what you wrote as your words were meaningless gibberish . . . but then your coherent polemic is just as bad.
(I've not heard of anyone being forced to dip their fingers in the holy water in church . . . )
Ah there we have it, disagree with a christian and you disagree with everyone. Mr Hat, wake up smell the coffee, christianity is one of those dying religions.Quote:
