Ever their persistence, they just don't seem to get it right or refuse to come over to the light.

Wouldn't the world be a better place if all non-western cultures examined and then mirrored Western civilisations?

Oh, Gawd !!

What do you mean by Western civilisations?

People like Obama bin Lyin' sending men out to shoot up a villa with an ObL look-alike in residence, then refusing to show any proof of who was killed?

People like Silvio Berlusconi jumping every teenage girl in sight?

Short people like Sarkozy dragging everyone into a war to grab another country's oil and gas?

Another short-arse like Medvedev holding half Europe to ransom over the supply of gas, and blackmailing the other half because their economies, after being ruined by the USSR, are only existing because of the crumbs dropped from his table?

Too much to comment about with Ca-moron. Poses as being Eurosceptic to get elected, then bends over and drops his pants on a daily basis when Brussels barks.

(I hate politicians)

Now, if we go back to the title of this thread, from My Fair Lady, i seem to remember that 'Enry 'Iggins failed absolutely and utterly to understand the thought processes of women and therefore burst into 'song'. (Well, he tried, poor love)

Are you saying that you cannot get round the thought processes of Thais? You want them to start thinking like us?

First you must educate their parents to teach their babies to think like us, then the school teachers to educate the kids to think like us and the owners of businesses to teach their workers to think like us, and so on.

Where do you start?

A Eurocentric Utopia. Just think of it.....

The idle ones are quite similar to some of us.

Define "us".

I suspect Zaa is yanking the chain, being a bit sarcastic....perhaps even trolling for someone to bite.

zzaa is obviously being sarcastic. He's always going off against Western culture. Although, that attitude didn't influence his choice of avatars.

Iggy's of mixed blood, actually.

Yeah, mixed white west European blood - Irish, English, Danish, Norwegian.

I absolutely totally agree with the OP...some days. Other days I am quite happy they aren't.

I don't think this idea will make it on my wish list though.

I don't think OP was being serious...

Either way, sounds hideously boring. I find extremists of most ilk deadly dull.

If they were just like us there'd be no point in going there. You might as well stay at home.

It's good to know some lights are on.......

An American way would be so beneficial for the likes of "those" people. Think about it.......all the goodness and light that derives from America.

A lot more goodness and light than from many countries in the world.

if they were like us Thailand would be unbearable! take that from somebody who has hardly any contact with locals.

I will agree with you on that.

If this is the case, why do we strain to re-make them into our likeness?

We? Is this like the royal we or are you assuming to speak for everyone? n

OK. Replace we with you.

Ahh, the royal wee.

Back to golden showers.

Because??? I suggest instead of speaking for everyone else that you know diddly about you just speak for yourself.

Why should they be like us? Us meaning in this case the English. Fortunately, for us and the rest of the world, nobody is like us. Nobody is like the Thais either... and this all makes it nice to live here.

Tomorrow is another day, and what will happen? This being Thailand, I don't know, and I like it that way.
