October 25, 201312 yr My favourite is R.I.P. (A dead person is an inanimate object). So, R.I.P. is meaningless. Whats your favourite rediculous saying?
October 25, 201312 yr 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 ... .

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?

October 25, 201312 yr My favourite is R.I.P. (A dead person is an inanimate object). So, R.I.P. is meaningless. Whats your favourite rediculous saying? 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. Continuing: "Land of the free, home of the brave". "E pluribus unum". "Free elections".
October 25, 201312 yr Popular Post "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.

October 25, 201312 yr Popular Post "my wife is Hi-So Thai Chinese, and her Father is a General". Hey leave the missus out of it.... Lol
October 25, 201312 yr I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotomy! Wait, that's not rediculous! Doh!
October 25, 201312 yr Quote (A dead person is an inanimate object). That's a purely a matter of opinion. 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.
October 25, 201312 yr Organic Honey - isn't all honey organic ? Oh and when people say "I could care less" ...... well then you care ?
October 25, 201312 yr (A dead person is an inanimate object). That's a purely a matter of opinion. Kick one and see if it moves.

Yes but, the spirit would have to have access to TV to get the RIP message.
October 25, 201312 yr Author (A dead person is an inanimate object). That's a purely a matter of opinion. Sorry my ilinformed poster, it is not a matter of opinion, it is a proven scientific fact.
October 25, 201312 yr One I would hear when I first came to Thailand... "Same-Same but Nid-Noi different" !!
October 25, 201312 yr Author "if you don't like it, go home" Most definitly not a rediculous statement. A trueism if ever I heard one.
October 25, 201312 yr Author "....and the relation to Thailand is?" You should read on before posting.
October 25, 201312 yr Author But actually they rest in peace, never saw someone wake up. There is a distinct difference between resting and rotting.

October 25, 201312 yr (A dead person is an inanimate object). That's a purely a matter of opinion. Sorry my ilinformed poster, it is not a matter of opinion, it is a proven scientific fact. 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. (I'll buy a Maserati for anyone that can show me scientific proof that there is something remaining of our consciousness after corporeal life is over)
