How do you know they are not praying for brains ?
Anf if you want more examples..I have them by the dozen! Take a look at the local TV, the local schools, the hospitals, the police, the army, the government, the country is a fucking mess, yet they constantly rant about how fucking smart they are...ask a Thai to point to a map and show you Germany, or any other country for that matter, they probably couldn't find Thailand for christ's sake!
But, they honestly believe they are the smartest fuckers in the world!
The kids here don't have a cat in hells chance, and that is exactly how the middle/upper class want it!
Good question!Quote:

Bsides, the only GOD in this country is MONEY.
EXACTLY!!! but you are looking at it like me, from a rational point of view!Quote:

Our hard-working neighbor, whom found it necessary to attend most of these affairs {therefore coughing up more Baht that she couldn't afford to dispose of} was over talking to the Missus bitching about this Tamboon and that Tamboon, here and there a Tamboon. "I can afford to go". My logical reply was, ...."if you can't afford it - why do you attend?". It's not as if the community is going to castagate here for not being able to be a 'caring' community member, less a good Buddhist. The missus understands perfectly, but we are in a different tax bracket. Nonetheless, she will instinctively listen to the whinging neighbor and put on the airs of empathy. Priorities are in order here. Do I eat or give to the Wat..??Quote:

And, it's not a rant its a fucking OBSERVATION, so put that in your fucking pipes and SMOKE IT!
Any chance of getting Terry, Blackgang ang Missy here in a round room togehter with a live video hookup ??
I'm sorry I usually don't speak like this, but you really are a stupid fucktard. Take your wife, if you're able, and move back to the country you came from.Quote:

So far you're coming across as a complete ignorant, irespectful asshole.
Religion aside, beliefs aside, your common sense doesn't measure with the family you chose to marry into. You're a prick. I'm going to quote Homer Simpson "Edumacate yourself!"
I'm sure you do.Quote:

so on a practical level you need to convince them to give less without them thinking they will lose face when doing so - part of the problem is probably as they have a white devil in the tribe they are expected to give more.
start blatantly adding christian paraphernalia to the outside of your house and then the lations can explain to all and sundry that you donate to some other parasites which is why their contributions to the bald mafia do not include the white monkey tax
it might work
You might as well expect your missus to stop being Thai as to stop practicing her religion in her way. The merit is in the giving, not the recieving, and so she gets merit whether they are the living reincarnation of bhudda or a reprobate (although, to be honest, I do think they get more merit from one than the other).Quote:

Me? I let them all get on with it as much as possible. Whats the point in getting so bent out of shape. You have made it clear that no hand outs are forth coming, and from what you wrote - you have not been asked for one - so whats your problem? its thier lives, let them fuck it up as they want.
I will ask, however, would it have killed you to get a plug and wire it on yourself? The judicious application of help, in small doses, and at appropriate times will be appreciated, and it might make them think you are a nice guy instead of, most likely, a jerk.
But, it is funny. :)Quote:

d) His inlaws allowed this narrow minded, uncultured, disresprectful and miserly old bastard into their clan.
e) He hasn't died from a heart attack at all the cultural shocks he must receive on a daily basis.

Baldrick, you have come up trumps again! That is the best idea I have heard for a long time, it could be my mission in life to convert animistic spirit worshipping ghost fearing fucktards, to something that was REALLY frightening, and not disguised as "Bhuddism" a real religion for them, where they can see the sorry non beliving scum ROASTED alive in fron of their eyes!Quote:

bah - you fcuking tardQuote:
