  • I sit on the 7/11 steps with a beer and a ham and cheese toastie.

    Why? In general, I sit and eat or stay and eat near a table. But sometimes I walk. Why not?          

  • Like ice cream? Or steak with knife and fork?

You mean like those who still wipe their asses with paper?

 

 

The 'freckle douche' in the Thai guise is hardly the an example of advanced cultured civilisation... 

Then after washing your hands there's no where to dry them.... 

 

No... your bias has taken over your balance of opinion.

 

If you are looking for a good example of 'toilet hygiene' then you may turn to the Japanese toilets with their 'button bidet' which makes being out and about and potentially getting caught short for a number two of no concern whatsoever. 

 

I'm with you on the loo-roll, and do whatever I can not to get 'caught out' in public in the UK for the majority of the public bathrooms there are horrific. 

 

 

Thus: If you are going to 'measure' do so with some level of balance as some of the most disgusting bathrooms I've seen in the world have been in Thailand (actually, worst was in Indonesia).

Its rude to eat food whilst walking around in public . Sit down and eat your food on a chair next to a table

First of all, tables and chairs are western concepts that didn't exist traditionally in Thailand.

My in-laws didn't have a table until I bought them one.  They sat on the floor.

 

Second of all, they sell lots of food in Thailand on skewers.  This is so you don't need a fork or spoon to eat and you won't get your hands dirty. 

 

Just like hors d'oeuvres are served with toothpicks, so you can eat them with one hand while holding a drink with the other, while standing up talking to people.

 

So yes, in social situations people do stand and eat.

 

And people do eat on the run, too.

 

I'd imagine our ancestors ate on the run while literally running away from their enemies.

 

We're highly adaptable.

 

At least some of us are. 😜

   I was talking about Westerners walking around and eating things like microwaved 7/11 meals or walking around shopping centres watching McDonald .

   I was suggesting that THEY sit down and eat their food .

I wasn't talking about Thai grandmothers sitting on the floor in the village

I wasn't talking about hors d'oeuvres are served with toothpicks

I wasn't talking about food om skewers .

I did mean people walking around ,markets eating sticking rice and mango whilst putting their fingers in their mouth and also picking up goods for sale in the market at the same time

and that despite the fact, that I had written exactly the opposite:

 

I wrote that I will always side with the innocent and the defenseless who are attacked and you conclude that I side with both persons on your picture, the injured girl sitting frightened in the car and the guy with the gun who is clearly the reason for her being scared to death.

 

Seriously?

 

Someone or some institution has tampered with your critical thinking.

 

It wouldn't surprise me, if it was that institution you think you have to side with now, aka the western media which are in full support of Israel and Zionism.

 

Wake up!!

 

Don't let them do the thinking for you.

 

Don't allow them to judge for you.

 

Respect yourself. Respect justice. Stay human.

 

The bad guys are one both sides; don´t let any of them fool you into sympathizing with them.

Completely untrue

The leading cause of child mortality globally is neonatal conditions, particularly complications from preterm birth, birth asphyxia, and infections. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a significant portion of deaths among children under five occur in the neonatal period (the first 28 days of life). Other common causes include pneumonia, diarrhea, and malaria, especially in lower-income countries. The second leading cause of child mortality globally is pneumonia. The third, fourth, and fifth leading causes of child mortality globally are: Diarrhea, Malaria, and malnutrition.

   The second photo is a photo of a Palestinians gunman who opened fire on the soldiers and a gun fight ensued and the man on the bonnet got injured and be was being taken to hospital then he got taken to jail for his crimes

That slogan was referring to armed conflicts.

Here the facts:

The number of children killed by Israel in the Gaza conflict is higher than the number of children killed in the last four years in all conflicts worldwide.

And it is higher than the number of children killed within one year in any other conflict of this century.

Or in the words of UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell

“Gaza is once again the most dangerous place in the world to be a child”.

Keep it. Be happy with it. 

 

And don`t let me catch you complaining about double pricing in Thailand or unjust treatment when it comes to car or bike accidents, which were not your fault.

    Its also rather rude to talk about toilet issues when food is being discussed .

   Shouldn't talk about your bum when eating 

 

 

I'm sorry, I thought we were talking about the correct way of food intake and not actually eating.

When eating you shouldn't talk at all.

But there is no better time to talk about toilet issues, when we talk about those Street vendors in Thailand.

Do I really have to ask question?

Where do they actually go to toilet and clean themselves up after that?

Ever thought about this?

   You have moved the goalposts .

You stated that

   "The number 1 cause of Child deaths on Earth is Israel*

Now your changed that and added the words "in armed conflicts"

Your original claim was false .

Not really.
We were discussing the conflict in Gaza and in this context, it is the truth.
But you commented it out of context as if it was a general statement, which then would be wrong.
However, I'm happy that we finally agree that this claim in context with the Gaza conflict is true.

And you don't seem to be able to understand, that I perfectly understood, that your question was just rhetorical.

Especially after I had clearly stated, that “I am always siding with the innocent and defenseless”, you post a picture showing a rejoicing perpetrator and a petrified victim and ask me if I support both people in this photo.

Answering that question with a “no” as you suggested, would implement that I believe, that you are so stupid and dumb, that you did not understand my previous statement, and on top of it show my disrespect for you.

 

But as I don't doubt your intelligence and in principle never treat people with disrespect, I did not answer in that way.

Our opinions may differ vastly, but we should still treat each other with respect.

Seriously, when it comes to Israel you seem not to have much compassion for the indigenous people but at least here in Thailand, you should let Thai people have the last word on this.

 

And I'm pretty much sure, what their answer would be in that “how to eat your food correctly” matter.

 

“UP TO YOUUU”

 

“I NOT CAAAARE”

Are you standing by your claim that .................

Manners includes respecting different customs

   People sat down usually eat politely with manners and are not in full view .

   Unlike rude people who stand in the middle of shopping centres lowering a pizza into their mouth and the cheese dribbling down their chin and then they have a dirty mouth and dirty hands and then go up an escalator with their dirty hands resting on the hand rail .

   Disgusting 

It's none of your business what other people do or how or when they eat their food
