Ridiculous! 2014 and apologising to spirits?

I think people get confused between the right to believe in something - and the right that people have to respect what they believe in.

I respect people's right to believe in whatever they want - I certainly don't respect them for believing it.

Ridiculous! 2014 2557 and apologising to spirits?

Yes, it will probably be the same in 2557 here.

I doubt the spirits care one way or the other, but I'm sure the kathoeys' silicone boobs aren't breasts, no matter how much they might wish otherwise.

Did the spirits forgive them??

Interesting legal issue ladyboys have to do military service because they are boys but they cannot go topless because they look like women however in their id's it says Mr. so in a true legal manner they should be allowed to go around topless like any other man can. Just saying if they cant go topless. Then technically they could start arresting western men for walking without tshirts, if this would hold up in court!

Quote:

[Today the police said they have arrested Mr. Chartchai Si-Arwut, 23, and Mr. Warot Theesoongnoen, 21, in connection to the incident. According to the police, Mr. Chartchai and Mr. Warot exposed their breasts to the public as they were riding on their pick-up truck in Mueang district on 13 April.]

I saw many men with naked upper bodies during Songkran.

Is the fact, that the breast of these 2 men have different shapes then the average male breast, all of a sudden indecent and/or illegal ??

The guy who showed his penis in public, no one can recognize, because his face and genitals are blocked out.

One should actually show both face and genitals maybe some-one recognizes one or the other and can help the Police with their very important research.

It might be "interesting" if your facts were correct.

Draftees are picked by a lottery, but Thai law exempts ladyboys.

It's no big deal. The only difference between the men and boys here in LOS is the nature of their toys. Weird here is normal and normal is weird.

Somehow I knew posting an image from a topless Siamese woman from 1900 from wikipedia would get deleted. Good the the boobs from the banner of the Ministry of Culture are ok. I reckon they're passed the Thai PC-filter.

Yeah, that was the all time classic in Thai hypocrisy , the head of the Ministry of " Culture"

thundering against the threat to Thailand of those young girls that exposed their breasts

last year, and then the news came out that the website of the Ministry of " Culture"

was covered in Thai women with exposed breasts..... You just could not make this

stuff up. I still remain convinced that there is no Thai word for hypocrisy.........

On a side note, I was not aware that being a ladyboy would exclude you from the army

lottery. Perhaps that would explain the over supply of them.

Men are allowed to show their breast.

What is wrong with that law?

These men were showing fake breast.

Disgusting discrimination. If I take my shirt off and walk down the street noone cares.

TIT (This Is Thailand)!!! But seriously.. shouldn't it read "Ladyboys chests" and not breasts?

That's just plastic. Nothing to worry about.

Sent from my GT-I9500 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

Raises a titter with me!

This anti-breast fixation is a western concocted aberration. Show your boobies in some parts of the US and you'll be a registered sex offender. Hallelujah!

Thankfully not around the Med!

I think the one in the first photo should have been let off with a simple warning but the one in the second should definitely do some time.

Don't they have water balloons in Thailand?

A well-placed throw at the guy exposing his Frank and Beans would be better than any fine.

Just in case some people forgot, making any sort of derogatory comment about the Royal Family will get you banned. Those inexplicably quoting such posts risk the same fate.

Mm-hm, where was it again ... Pricksville / Hillbillycounty?

"! Stay away from the place we burned the witch last year you hear - and make sure no festivities after dusk as the vampires are thirsty too...!"

Funk me, already my grandmom used to laugh out about that sort of bullschlassach and she checked out some 50yrs ago!!

What is BULLSCHLASSACH? Is that yiddish? I tried to find it on GOOGLE but nothing

I can see the reasoning though, SONGKRAN is essentially a festival for the spirits, so they are obviously the offended ones and should be appeased. I like and appreciate that Thai spiritualism, one of the things that make the place what it is, in a positive sense

... well mate, would all be good and nice and >hare-hare < if it really was "essentially a festival 4 the spirits" which it ain't any longer ...

The only spirits involved are out of alc bottles, spiritual usage of drops (!) of sacred water in a symbolic manner perverted to todays water- & livewaste with the whole country in a weeks up booze-agony and the only 'good' news one can read weeks in advance are about who will extract how much dough from whom - i mean don't get me wrong, that's known for 2 decades now, i'm not complainig as i don't even give a flying one to it, what i'm sayin' is the "behaviour" is hypocrite to an extent that if there really were any vengeful spirits billowing around an immense lot of people here would get struck by lightning while taking a dump ...

Id like to know how the spirits decide whats "improper behaviour"

Easy. If they give you wrong lottery numbers, they're pissed off.

Ridiculous! 2014 and apologising to spirits?

Seems as though you have never visited the American South......it's 2014 there also and they still have to watch every word they say lest they offend some old guy with a beard who watches to see if they are all being good or bad. Crazy respects no international borders.

Hah! I've got it! Your subtle allusion is to Santa Claus, the guy who "knows whos been naughty or nice!"

I wonder if I'd get arrested for having 'man boobs'.

When and where will the TV-staff be forced to beg for forgiveness for the publication of the boobs of Mr. Pumpin’ Iron on the same site? Not much of a difference here.

Those ads are from "Google-ads" and are based partly on data that Google collects from you based on your search and surf habits. So now we all know what you've been up to.

Touché!!!

Nobody told me research of health supplements could leave me in such a mess. How can I delete my new Google reputation?

I no longer object to the repeated ads of Aisan Date anymore, at least they are showing me pretty girls

You farangs doesn't understand nothing of nothing

Yes, of course, the Local Spirits are offended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

as punishment we will need to dance the copulation dance of the Aconcagua bird for 3 months, of course dresses with deser clothes and under the sun.

hahahah

perhaps the people objected to the tits not being real?

I do not know if real or not, but if the picture you post is a ladyboy, I will convert now.

Am curious about that one myself........Has Thailand perfected nipple implants too ???

Oh you are awful,but I like you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are going to convert from heterosexuality to heterosexuality? That's bold!

<Both suspects have been charged with indecent exposure>

The world has gone insane. Boobies are delightful, not indecent.

BTW, if they are men, how can a law for the punishment of women be applied to them ( rhetorical question as TiT { how apt is that, LOL }applies here )?

The ingestion of female hormones since an early age has many effects on a male body, increased breast size and decreased ( male ) genital size being just part of it.
