But I know about the things I posted, I care less about what tha muslims do so I stopped reading it when I got to that part and would not have said anything about it if not hardasserd over a link, I lived during the whole of WW2.
And I have worked and lived with Muslims in the mid east and know all I want to about them, and also have a solution for them, but no one wants to hear about it and no one will admit what they think, PC bastards.
I am capable of finding the link if I wanted it, but I don't.
But thanks anyway.
Agreed! I'm just glad to be Irish.Quote:

One of the problems becomes our exposure to a very limited number of folks from each country while living as an expat. Most of those are the short term travelers that act out because they can't or wouldn't act that way in their own neighborhood. I bagged a guy in Patong walking down Bangla road at mid-day wearing a thong bathing suit. That was it. My question to him was "would you walk down the street in your hometown dressed as you are?"
After a lot of Busllshit and bluster about "....hey, this is Thailand", I reminded him that MOST Thais are offended by nudity or semi-nudity. Its an Asian thing actually. Not all Thias are whores or katoeys or homo, just went right over his head.
Turns out I know the town he comes from, I was raised about 50 miles from there in Vermont. When I asked if I could take his photo and have it published in the Rutland Herald, the local daily, he about had a fit. As I raised, what he thought was a pocket camera but was actually a cigarette holder, he beat feet as fast as his skinny ass could go.
It is not the first time I've taken someone up short for being an asshole, nor was it the first time they turned out the be Ugly Americans.
We all have our share of assholes that "SEEM" to be representative of our home cultures, I don't care if your British, German, French, Italian or Canadian or Kiwi or Aus. its all the same. Those of us who have lived outside the normal culture of home learn how to act (generally speaking) in mixed cultures. Some of us do not... sadly.
E. G.
As for identifying an individual according to their country's politics, it is small minded and basically a racist attitude.
Were all Brits behind Ms. Thatcher during the Falklands situation?
Were all Germans rooting for Hitler?
Were all French Vichy?
Were all Chinese Maoist?
Are all Palestinians anti-semetic?
Are all Thias anit Thaksin?
Are all Iragii anti American?
Are all Americans ......... (up to you)
and on and on and on.
Basic values that citizens live thier lives by are not always represented by their governments, elected or other wise. To generalize and then tag an individual is basically just wrong headed. Do you know how I voted, or even if I did vote? If not you've no right to label me as a Bush supporter or a supporter of any of his government's policies. Such generalizations lead to mis-understandings and eventually hard feelings.
Its easy to allow our own prejudices into our posts on volatile or emotional subject matter. I kinda follow my own personal view that arguements about politics, religion and policy are basically a waste of my time. No changes will come about it is just more pulpit BS.

One of the criticisms I have about some Americans, not all, is that they cannot take the piss out of themselves.
El Gibbon, you do seem to be one judging by the above post.
Who thinks that I should start a 'Why are Australians So Stupid' thread.
^ your taking a huge leap of faith Lily. :cool:
