SUZIBANDIT Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 [color:"red"] Maybe it is my protestant work ethic that drives me to experience the thai workplace? I wonder if you indeeed need to work yourself? Who is the real one selling out? Why are you working here? [/color] Is it also your Protestant moral ethic that drives you to experience the Thai nightlife and then look down on the participants? I've sold nothing out. I was asked to be here and I will remain here on my terms. Period. [color:"red"] I serious doubt that you bring your thai hooker gf to company events. [/color] I never stated that I had a "thai hooker girlfriend. I don't, but not because I think they are bad people. Simply because I am with someone else who through the benfit of circumstance is not in the scene. I don't bring anyone to company events. I prefer to keep my business and private lives separate. Although I would not be ashamed if I ran into someone from work in my off hours. What I do on my time is my business. [color:"red"] what do the other thai company employees say about when you show up with your undesirable (by thai standards) date? [/color] These desires differ across Thailand. Since when is Hi-So BKK the standard for all of Thailand?? And tell me, what do your coworkers say when you tell them you spend large amounts of your day posting to a board such as this?? [color:"red"] My problem rests with more discrinination toward people who are in the lower class that are shunned and/or treated badly than by low class prostitutes [/color] Well Christ if you aren't the world's greatest humanitarian. Maybe many in the lower class engage in prostitution because they are shunned an discriminated against by the "upper" class. Do you miss how te discrimination is connected? :: open your eyes! [color:"red"] But with regard to attitudes towards prostitution, Thailand is no different from a western country in that regard........... [/color] HAHAHAHAHA!!!! :D I have never seen a country that more openly condoned prostitution and had more elites participating init and profiting from it.

Guest Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 "Nope, you are basically being an hypocrite, in that matter. Why don't you tell your BKK mates you enjoy watching and P4P issan "scum", deal with your double-standards in your LOS life, and stop annoying us with your blatant bigotry and i am starting to think, racism" Well,if U had a look in the nightlife section U'd notice I frequent the western oriented prositution places more than once in a while.The thais -guys- I socialise with know about that.If it makes anyone feel better to think people stressing peculiarities of a certain society become some kind of bastard ( you're a farang who want to become a thai,wich U will never be blablabla) good for them but I think they miss the point As the repetitive trashing from certain board members of thai hi and even medium classes,well,it does insult my ex girlfriend,my possibly actual one and probably my next girlfriend.Basically most or all the thai girls I have a medium or long term interest in.No need to become prissy...

Guest Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 "Nope says "If this is the way you truly feel,I'm sorry you feel so trapped in your principles you can't adapt to the local situation." Suzie "Thank You. That is a wonderful compliment. The next time you're in Rwanda, you better make sure your machete is sharp" Well I seriously doubt I'll ever go to Rwanda.BTW I wasn't just quoting a drunken tourist but an idea I've heard quite a few times and read a few more.It's very business related.If you can't leave your principles home,don't go(as you're going to antagonize the locals and jeopardize your business interests).Reminds me of some posts from long term expats in Thailand,stating that westerners succeeding in Thailand seem to be the ones learning the language and complying to local behavioural rules,not the ones so hung up on their education back home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a snob. Nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 That's the way I perceived you indeed.U stated more in that thread though.You don't help me improve my opinion about you if you can't come with a constructive opinion but only personnal attacks. By the way "My people" would more likely be western educated people than thais from any class.I wouldn't even be posting so much here otherwise.Doesn't mean I don't stick to what I said earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lazyphil Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 Calling you anal on bg topics is hardly a savage flame! Using the term 'my kind of people' is just exactly what I want to avoid. Its your ilk that want to exacerbate the polarization of classes in los. IMHO.
