John, how is it anti Thai/Thailand when there is an option that says "Yes, I have many Thai friends"?

 

Can you explain that to me?

 

Thank you.

It asks a negative question about the Thais and I believe you should NOT be holding such a Poll in a country that you claim to live in.

You not an advocate of free speech then, john?

 

and the poll has turned out overwhelmingly positive. there is nothing negative about asking a question with multiple choice answers that cover the whole spectrum..

 

aren't you over the moon that the vast majority of AN posters get on well with Thai people???

[GammaGlobulin]

Yes.

I think it is difficult to get along "well" with people who do not speak much English and seem to not understand a meaningful or intelligent conversation.

I get along with Thais OK.  "Well", seems deeper and more difficult here for me anyway.

Thats Sociology and Psychology not Physics !!!... 

 

But...   anyone for whom money has any form of influence on friendship is not a friend, of course, everyone knows this.

 

I recall a Western friend, years ago...  He became 'good friends' with a Thai guy who worked in a bar (a regular pub type bar)...   a month passed and the Thai lad asked to borrow some money (I can't recall the amount but it wasn't a lot, maybe about 5000 baht)... When I heard this I pointed out that he'll never see the money again... it was no surprise that the Thai guy disappeared. 

 

Over two decades - none of my Thai friends have ever talked about or asked for money... it helps that they are financially independent and most likely wealthier than I.

 

Thus - I think one of the key factors in establishing good friends here is understanding underlying intentions, or rather, being able to eradicate less than honourable intentions - thus, if establishing friends with someone of similar means the 'financial' stigma disappears*.

 

(*caveat - wealthy people also rip others off - so care still needs to be taken when friendships with those of any nationality is evolving).

 

 

 

 

 

..”.   anyone for whom money has any form of influence on friendship is not a friend, of course, everyone knows this“

 

Have you passed your precious knowledge on to the Thais?
