Not a problem unique to to Thailand.

 

A destitute asylum seeker was found lying dead next to her malnourished baby son in Glasgow, according to a charity.

Mercy Baguma, from Uganda, was found dead in her flat in the city’s Govan area on Saturday with the child crying beside her, Positive Action in Housing (PAIH) said. Authorities confirmed they had discovered the body of a 34-year-old woman.

not quite what it seems though ,the baby was malnurished because the mother had been dead for days ,and they do not have her cause of death yet ,it certainly was not malnurishment ,and her husband was living not far away in another social housing house ,he now has the child, so both mother and her husband were living in seperate houses paid for by the social.

Not that they are a problem eh?

I always feel a bit disturbed when people show compassion to animals over and above their fellow man.....

Why?

Double benefits 

So,  because during the financially productive times of my working life I have scrimped and scraped to save enough & also pay into a couple of pension schemes to look after me in my older age I now need to feel sorry for anyone who hasn't, why ?? 

 

The writing has been on the wall for many a year, the fact that they blew their lot as soon as they got it is not my problem.

 

I have no sympathy for anyone that doesn't plan for a rainy day.

Did she die and the baby become malnourished, or not?

Strange how you don't see the monks walking around offering comfort and food to these unfortunates. 

Normally a reverse situation and they are the ones looking for handouts.

They certainly did in my village in Isaan.

 

There was a lunch cooked at the local Wat by the village ladies every day..for free and all you could eat.Moreover every village "party" certainly included the village poor-again for free-as they could not afford donations.This was the tradition.

 

All countries have people suffering from chronic alcoholism,drug abuse,mental illness or physical and mental disabilities who drop thru the net from time to time-there will be at least a dozen (or probably more) sleeping out on the river bank of my wealthy first world town tonight-and it is winter.

And what if you get a disease like schizophrenia or alcoholism? I've seen people a lot richer than you hit the streets.

Open your eyes.

 

In traditional societies, misfits and criminals are exiled from the tribe.

 

Without the tribes help, it means almost certain death.

 

That's why Thai people assume the homeless are crazy, dangerous people.

 

If they were not, their families would take care of them. ????

I always believed Budhism to be a compassionate religion, see how they care for the diseased and often dangerous soi dogs for example. Is this now the new face of the religion? 

Christianity is a compassionate religion as well, yet the same thoughts and

words are expressed towards the homeless beggars elsewhere.

 

I'm sure a true Buddhist wouldn't be saying such things, same as a true Christian.

Sadly people who claim to be one religion or another only do so when it suits them.

 

Back on point, I didn't see one mention of Buddhism in the quoted article.

 

The only mention of Thailand and its people being caring was a footnote added 

by Thai visa, no doubt to generate mass debate among the nay sayers!

In the UK an immigrant woman died of starvation while her severely undernourished baby lay screaming beside her, at least the baby could be saved, not just a Thai thing.

Maybe she was one of them boat people that came over the channel to live the high life in UK at the expense of the tax payer that Mr Farage is going on about ?

Poverty and addiction are not just an individual problems, they are problem stemming from the heart of society at large. They thrive on poor education, hopelessness, and inequality. When a society doesn't work to minimise the gaps and holes that exist between those at the top, and those at the bottom, then poverty and addiction rise up like a stench that effects us all, as can be seen from the callous and heartless responses from local Netizens. The minds that give voice to these words, are the same ones that are a major cause of the problem.

Seldom was a truer word spoken.

Only if they are in need. A few years ago I was sat at a pavement cafe in Amsterdam and across the road there was a woman lying on the pavement with a cardboard sign that said something like " help, deaf and dumb". About six o'clock she got up and walked across the bridge, pulled off her wig and coat and climbed into a merc that had pulled up.

Note to self ... Before giving money to person in need, pull hair to check if real or fake ....

Not all but many of these people never had a chance in their life. Perhaps they grew up in total poverty without any education. And often alcohol is the only way to make dreams come true - at least as long as they are drunken. And it helps to get over another senseless day. You had luck that you obviously have been in a different situation. If you grew up like one of them perhaps you might be one of them.
