Why Do American People Always Think That Thai Children Ride Elephants To Go To School ?

[Naam]

This post has a anti american tone in that it assumes americans are dumb - they are not! They are the saviours of the planet.

God bless america

PS just because they elected a president (twice) with an IQ of 91 doesnt mean they are dumb. They need him to smoke out the guy who tried to kill his daddy!

from where did he suddenly get the additional 20 points? did he smoke but not inhale?

[mrtoad]

So there is at least 3 brits on this potentially american bashing thread and not one of us has said anything bad about them. We must be the nice ones

Give it time, give it time.

See post 61 - Re: George W Bush.

Looks like this one is now a hot topic on Thai Visa.

I'm interested in immigration law. So I usually come here to find out some information about immigration law. And I see that there are many foreign visitor here. So I just wanna know why. That's it.

nothing more nothing less.

If I'm bothered you. I'm sorry.

Ba bye.

It was while having a kegger with his daughter.... just before she drove off in a Chevy Suburban.

No you are not bothering us. It is just that it takes some time for people here to take you seriously. Especially when you ask things like this.

It does show the ignorance of a lot of people, if this is what they believe., but all countries have some very insular peolple who have no idea what is going on outside of their own town, let alone their own country.

That is so true Toady - but let us not be so defensive of our fellow americans. I think the well ajusted ones will see the humour and the truth!

POV, I'm British.

So am i old bean! Fellow americans, fellow thais, fellow citizens of the world

So there is at least 3 brits on this potentially american bashing thread and not one of us has said anything bad about them. We must be the nice ones

I think the british have developed an immunity to verbal bashing. Our wit and charm act as an integral defence mechanism. Our sense of humour together with impecable decorum are the envy of english speakers throughout the free world.

1 kegger for George, and 1 kegger finished by his daughter before she drove off...

Bash me, Sir, may I have another?

I always thought it was their dental hygiene that won everyone over.

I'll have you know my teeth get a brush at least once a week whether they need it or not.

Thats far too much, once a month is more than adequate.

And share the toothbrush, it's more economical.

as so often most of the replies are off topic

NOW BACK TO "AMERICANS THINK THAI CHILDREN ARE RIDING ELEPHANTS TO SCHOOL"!

who of our fellow americans think they do? if you feel too shy going public just PM me. i assure you complete confidentiality and will publish only the total number of those who contacted me. you don't believe me? i swear all holy oaths on each and every holy book.

Let's get back to the original question from the OP.

So, why do Americans think that Thai children ride elephants to school, and where are the buffaloes in Bangkok?

I'd like to hear the OP's view.

[Jingthing]

I can think of much worse things that most Americans really do think about Thailand, if they can be bothered to think about it at all.
