Yeah that was a ridiculous statement, sorry. I was trying to say that it was only ignorant lower class Thais who thought we all spoke English, but I didn't want to use those words...

Some of the finer ones I've heard here: "Farang like murder", "Farang like whoring", "Farang drink too much".


The category of "farang" is obviously doing you a disservice if you earnestly believe that all of them speak English, and all of them posses similar attributes beyond white skin. It's not so much the word, as it is the line of thinking that comes along with it.

So, you mean kinda like when you returned after 2.5 days in China and felt urged to warn us about how deceiving and violent the "Chinese" are? You mean like that?

Or more like when you told us how if we travel in China we would probably die? is that closer to what you mean?

Sort of like that Nah Hee.



My outrage in that thread was due to the dishonest and aggressive behavior exhibited by members of a particular school in China. I condemmed their behavior not their nationality. Assholes are easily found anywhere in the world, as we are reminded each and every time you post. Cunt.

Is that why you named that thread "Escape from China"? Because you were talking about a specific situation?
the truth stings, don't it.

I don't understand why being outed as a hypocrite is met with such hostility. Hypocrisy is more common than love in this day and age. You'd remain much calmer if you just admitted it, you know.

Message to refuse...

I'm gonna hazard a guess that because you got a hardon for me that the post on this thread was aimed at me. Probably a good guess knowing how stupid you are. Also that my rep points dropped the same amount as the last time you redded me.

Hey!!! moron!!! I have you on ignore...that's like you talking to someone when they have headphones on...so either you're a complete idiot, or you're not actually posting to me but to the general public here so as to come off as some witty something or other.

In either case it only solidifies the impression that you're a shell of a person whose only knowledge of himself is that which is derived from other people.

Enjoy life...if you know how...

P.S. I can't see your reply stupid. Do the forum a favor and put me on ignore too and use some willpower and don't cheat and read my posts anyway.(kinda voids the ignore feature)

I think that's the shortest possible way of demonstrating irony.

go tell Alanis Morrisette!

Hey do ya a dealy like...I'll go edit my post if you go edit yours.

If a typo makes one a complete idiot, then more of the posters here need your help!

Just messin.

I know. :cheers:

Couldn't care less, personally. I'm more concerned with separating myself from the actions and behaviors of greed, hatred, and delusion. These things just get carried around by slightly different shaped and colored bodies. Pretending this isn't true is the basic and popular ignorance you and I are inflicted by 99% of the time. Thais and us - exactly the same. You've been a Thai in a different "lifetime". You've been all things. So what's the crux of the "issue" here? Not trying to say this dismissively, but it's another thread that sets up US vs. THEM. Just pointing out the fact that ultimately there is no us and no them. And all of these "problems" we constantly write and talk and think about, if we're lucky, just fall away (and more IMPORTANT problems may get some space in our lives)...if only temporarily anyway. Those are good times.

so...GOODNIGHT!

(silly buddhist rant finished..)

Matt, you've got a nice attitude, and it's one that I dig and have been known to bust out myself. Trouble is bro, many Thais aren't quite as keen to embrace the concept that we're one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively as you or I are.

They're more keen on manipulating and exploiting you because you're a 'falang'.
