    Who do the Thais think invented stuff?

    If you asked the average Thai..

    Who invented the Car
    Who invented the Computer
    Who invented the Sky Train
    Who invented the TV

    You would get something along the lines of:

    "come from thai"
    "made in thai"
    "thailand make"

    You would get something along the lines of:

    "come from thai"
    "made in thai"
    "thailand make"
    They're like Britons.

    Your average peasant ignoramous Thai would say that, or most schoolkids would.

    But if they knew that those weren't from Thailand, they sure wouldn't be able to name the countries.

    Some of them remind me of Chekov, but like him it's just a product of their education.

    A friend's eleven year old daughter got in trouble at school recently. A "teacher" was telling pupils that people were created by god with a machine.
    Problems started when my mates kid pointed out that this was bullshit and that people evolved from monkeys. That didn't go down too well

    The thing is, she spent the first 10 years of her life in Europe. She explained to me the other day that Thais know nothing about anything and the majority of them are stupid buffalo.

    Bullshit.

    I see a trend in your posts. Some Thai has really fucked you over.

    It don't suppose it did - it's not true (though I guess the teacher wasn't aware why).

    So you don't know either. You don't even have the intelligence to lie about this or to find out? Really?

    Don't you know that all expat Westerners are a cross between Aristotle and Galileo? Have you never been in a farang bar?

    Another Thai bashing thread just for the sake of it... Just what the forum needs.

    Its funny that he starts a thread to belittle the average Thai's intelligence yet if you were to read his recent posts you would be under no illusion to who the real idiot is.
