They were just kids doing as they were told, it was the photographer who told them to flog the river with a chicken, sick.

And I very much doubt that cockerel is laying any eggs, youre in need of a birds and the bees refresher course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A somewhat juvenile response. Yes, Thai's have atrocious record of infringing on Intellectual Property rights, however, this mans work was stollen, because the Moral Compass with regards to IP rights in Thailand is highly distorted it doesn't make it acceptable.

Steal an idea, steal an invention, steal a song, steal a photograph. What is your reasoning that makes one of these so worse than the other? It's all stealing something somebody created and then passing it off as your own, perhaps you just find the the photograph has more impact on you because it seems more tangible and you lack the imagination or intelligence to see they are all the same? And no one is defending it you moron. 4 hours ago, richard_smith237 said: A somewhat juvenile response.

They are the same, but neither are acceptable. What made you think anyone is saying it is acceptable? Just because you point out an ironic situation because Thais do the same thing all the time, doesn't mean you are saying any of it is acceptable. 4 hours ago, richard_smith237 said: This 'they don't like it when it happens to them' approach is retarded.... Says a response is juvenile and then calls someone retarded because they don't like what they say. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
