Very true. Some people find it very difficult to hear about another persons good fortune.

Even a Billion might not change some lives.

Of course, of course. I know that only too well.

You have a lot to learn about the world we live in. You will not agree - but facts are facts!

I would walk away at the slightest hint of trouble. When consuming alcohol, I will mind my own business than find fault with a stranger. Just me.

That's how these Rambos and their accomplices act.

WOW! Really? Family gatherings must be so enjoyable and pleasant. Never realized until today such pleasantries existed! Lovely countries, lovely people...I wish I had the blessing to experience those before!

Just a small question, for my education purpose, as I am totally ignorant about this subject - sorry. Do people in any country use the F word (other similar 'colorful' words) when communicating between immediate family members too - Parents, children, siblings etc. etc.?

But in Thailand people don't say anything. You don't get confronted for your rude behavior, so people get away with this crap all the time. Please travel around and see. On my very recent visits to Dubai & Australia, it was no better.

Absolutely! But seems the man acted 'normally' as per many posts here. So that seems to be the new normal, which the Asians are ignorant of?

Really?

In my opinion, this is a typical case of a person suffering from a Sense Of Entitlement syndrome. This is a very common disease many people suffer from, (unknowingly?). We see this everywhere... even on this forum.

Of course - that is why I said you are exceptional! Everyone here knows that, SIR!

REALLY? You are exceptional. Absolutely brilliant!

Absolutely agree! On my very recent visits to Melbourne and Dubai too, I experienced this during the rush hours. The phone has made the humans in to zombies! I guess its something we have to accept, willingly or unwillingly - one cannot fight the world, so to speak!

Were you the guy on the BTS by any chance?

There are no laws anywhere in the world that state you have to be polite or nice to anyone. I just don't know anything about the above statement you made and I don't care about it. Just try that with the wrong character, anywhere on this planet, and you'll be history! Reserve your colorful language to your home, family and friends, if you must - might save your limbs or even your life. Most of these impolite a**holes, choose their 'victims' very carefully - the elderly, weak or a woman. And those who justify them are no better IMHO.
