ws, not scared of snakes that's for sure, caught many before even as a kid. DO respect them and give them there space as they do deserve it. This is very unlike muslim terrorists that I have NO respect for and think that there is NOWHERE on this planet that they should be allowed to exist. Tired of all the pc nutters in the world saying that we should try and understand these SUB humans.
Loud noises, what ones are you talking about? Is it the gunfire that the people hear down south when they are trying to get to school or to a Wat or to trim rubber trees? Or is it the sound of the boards and steel being swung at you just because you're a non-muslim teacher. Or maybe you're talking about the sound of a large blade coming before your head is cut off. Is it the bombs going off when all you're trying to do is run a business and you don't happen to close on the day these lowlifes tell you to? Got to be a bit more specific here so I can judge.
Given the choice, I would trust the snake.
