sgunn65 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I'm thai.Many american people were very surprised when I told them that my home has hi-speed internet. How jerk. What does that statement have in relevance to all American people believing that Thai children ride elephants to school? You try to book an extra seat on a school elephant using a dial up connection. then you will understand Surely if you wanted to book a seat on a school elephant you would make a trunk call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kat Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Why are we feeding this troll and why is it allowed? Nonsense topics like this one are permitted to run for 7 pages while real topics are routinely shut down because they are "difficult" for some. I guess nonsense sells.

yorkman Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 (edited) But... but... all of *MY* students ride elephants to school... you mean it's not like that at EVERY Thai school?????? You must be at one of the posh international schools, a few americans there I should imagine. Perhaps thats where the idea came from? Government schools its riding buffalo's (seating capacity 10) as the happy but ignorant children in their coolie hats sing a song on their way to "learn" It's a bit like the Sound of Music, starring the van trapped Edited December 28, 2007 by yorkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pumper Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 why do trolls think all americans are brain-amputated? why are many Americans not considered intellectuals? 40% americans believe: (= many) 1. the grand canyon (2800m elevation) was formed by noah's flood. 2. Kangaroos are from the mid-east (to get on the afore mentioned ark) easier for me to believe Thai ride elephants to school .. that has happened at least once!

yorkman Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 2. Kangaroos are from the mid-east Hey Hey , a mention of Kangaroos and the Australians will be in. They have learnt to Google (belatedy). And then there will be talk of desiring sheep as opposed to buffalo's, and then the thread will be closed. Now, back on topic so there is no excuse, whats this about most Brits believeing all Americans ride to school on Elephants?
