Rediculous Sayings.

[aveabeeror2]

My favourite is R.I.P. (A dead person is an inanimate object). So, R.I.P. is meaningless. Whats your favourite rediculous saying?

[David48]

Maybe you might wish to narrow your question.

Do you mean 'favourite ridiculous saying' that Westerns say about their host country - Thailand?

Do you mean 'favourite ridiculous saying' that Westerns say about their host country folk - Thais ?

Do you mean 'favourite ridiculous saying' that Thais say about us?

Or is it a general shotgun question, worth of banter at the Pub ...

I believe this depends on one's spiritual beliefs. If one believes in the human spirit/soul and said spirit/soul has not left the body, then "rest" may still be applicable. This reasoning may be mighty thin, but it sounds reasonable in my opinion.

"E pluribus unum".

That's a purely a matter of opinion.

"The Pursuit of Happiness"

"Happiness" is by definition something that comes upon us when we are not pursuing it. We do not and cannot posses it - it comes in a moment and it goes in a moment.

Pursuing happiness is the surest path to misery I know.

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotomy!

Wait, that's not rediculous! Doh!

I believe the OP is almost 100% correct on this one. There is only one definition that I could find that might disprove his logic; Animate - of or relating to animal life. Every other definition refers to movement and actually being alive. I still stand by the potential, non-material aspect of this quagmire.

Yes but, the spirit would have to have access to TV to get the RIP message.

Sorry my ilinformed poster, it is not a matter of opinion, it is a proven scientific fact.

One I would hear when I first came to Thailand...

"Same-Same but Nid-Noi different" !!

[aveabeeror2]

"if you don't like it, go home"

Most definitly not a rediculous statement. A trueism if ever I heard one.

[aveabeeror2]

"....and the relation to Thailand is?"

You should read on before posting.

There is a distinct difference between resting and rotting.

Faith, belief without evidence, unsupported and unsupportable.

You're confusing the afterlife with evolution. Evolution is a proven scientific fact.

I'll buy a case of beer for anyone that can show me scientific proof that there is nothing remaining of us after our corporeal life is over.
