Why do you people live here when you think so badly of these people? Two parts to this. One, Why do i live here? It is where my employer has posted me. I like my job, I like my Boss, I earn good money and everything here is cheap. Weather isn't bad either. Part two. I will call an adiot, an idiot based upon the stupidity of their actions. It is not a racial thing. I will call an English idiot an idiot just as quickly as I do from anywhere else. I previously lived and worked in Cape Town. My earlier post said what I thought of their Minister of Health. Her nonsense that having sex with a virgin could cure you of AIDS saw countless children raped by idiots that believed it. Believing a statue in a car saved someones life, to my mind, is stupid. Or do you disagree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That explains much of Thai's attitude on the road. But how do they explain the massive annual death toll? It would be interesting to conduct a study and tallying how many of the dead victims had amulets, statues, protective spells or other religious knick-knack fixed to their vehicles and how many didn't. I think the results would be eye-opening, as pretty much every local driver has some sort of "divine protective device". The study's outcome would clearly attest to the fact that these devices are obviously useless. In fact, they're potentially dangerous, because they might contribute to drivers being more careless than they'd perhaps otherwise be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane Dough Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 1 hour ago, darksidedog said: " The statue was of Luang Pu Thuat, well known for saving countless lives. " So it isn't just the driver who believes in hokey-pokey magic, but apparently the reporter and most of the country. I can see these people rushing out to buy one, to enable them to drive even more crazily, without fear of death. Almost as stupid as when the South African minister of Health proclaimed that having sex with a virgin would cure AIDS, leading to a massive rise in rape. Never heard of irony?

jaltsc Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) “Sukhon said that he was on his way back to Yasothorn after attending a family funeral. But his time had not come yet.He said he was overtaking another vehicle and lost control.” It's this type of what appears to be a common mentality that makes driving, as well as other activities, a danger to everyone else. No need to learn safe driving skill. No need to ground electric wiring. No need to watch your children when they are walking on the street. It's all about luck. When your number is up, it's up. In reality, Stupid is as Stupid Does...and...There's a lot of stupid going around here, and it appears impossible to avoid. Even if you try to explain cause and effect, the basis of Buddhism, they look at you at though you were a Martian playing ping pong using a giraffe as a paddle, and an elephant as a ball.

Now there's a scam in the making! Or at least worth producing. Interesting that you ask, our neighbor attempted to sell my Thai wife an amulet that was very powerful. The lady told my wife to put it on, stand with her hand in mine and I would be unable to push her to the floor by lowering her hand. I weigh double what my wife does, easily pushed her to the floor and the amulet went home with the neighbor. So, if you're looking for an amulet tester I'm your man, endowed with great spiritual power, or maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSF Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Incredible how these people really believe wearing such & such amulet will make them bullet-proof and impervious to death. Has it never occurred to them that a division of bullet-proof Thai soldiers, all wearing their protective amulets, could conquer the world?

Most people don't have a problem with the religious beliefs of others, until they impinge of my life expectancy I don't either, and this is an obvious case of trusting in a good luck charm instead of driving skills that is responsible for the deaths of people who don't share your faith. By all means test your trust in your faith by jumping off a tall building, but please don't test your faith as you're overtaking coming towards me on my side of the road.
