    Sadly, they don't and probably won't. The key is to try to figure out why they think and act the way they do and adjust your expectations accordingly. Otherwise you're just going to turn into another Smeg, and we certainly don't want another, do we?

    Smeg and I have similar opinions in many cases, it's just that the way he delivers his thoughts are way too blunt and repetitive for most to stomach easily.
    Most of what he says is bang on the money. The difference betwen him and me is that i tolerate the crap element of Thailand and enjoy the better parts. His fixation on the limitations of Thai people and thier culture is alarming at times.
