Bring it on, Crap is as Crap does

I understand if a women thinks "All men are dogs" because of past experience but she is just bitter and wrong in her view as not all men are dogs and I put money on the fact she has not met "all men"

Exactly so she is generally speaking, we need generalisations to quickly detail the majority veiw or majority perception, be that of an individual, a state, country or the whole world.

A generalisation IS pre-judging someone, if you make generalisations on groups of people/skin colour/race (NOT football teams!) from a small number you are pre-judging whole groups of people.

So if I generalise and say that " All Banana's are bent' am I pre-judging banana's? does placing the word IS in BIG letters make you some how more right, nope opinions are like a-holes, everybody got one.

If people don't have a problem with generalisations on people's skin colour or where they are from then its their view, each to their own.

Spot on, so your point is, I say generally generalisation are accurate, and based on majority perception or fact be it individula or otherwise.

More?

Peace out.

From what I remember of his posts , he was told off by the police for wandering around 'unsuitably' dressed , and was also arrested for fighting with a British guy !!!! If this is his experiences of the real Thailand then he also may have only 'scratched the surface'.

This has nothing at all to do with age , there are a lot of young people with a vast amount of experience and knowledge of Thailand , what I found strange was the fact that the BM he quoted has been to Thailand a lot and has considerable experience.

I never said you mentioned wisdom, thats my own input from the implications of your comment, I am allowed my own input right? But as you say some people can go to Thailand a few times and get whats going on, others can go 1,000's times and still not be able to give good advice.

So age, number of visits or time on the forum or number of posts are all irrelevant when it comes to having a valid opinion. But some people like to have a rank or pecking order based on something like this. But in the end we are all just individuals, we can listen, learn, analysis and decide what comments we agree with or don't.

I take all comments at face value and go from there. The true Thailand experience for So-cal might not be the true one for the next man. He can offer insight into what it is he likes or dislikes etc. But ultimately he can only present his veiws from his own prospective, the rest of us can just take them or leave them.

Just the way I see things.

Fairly basic thing not to know, Mr I'm Always Right.

Farang, used by Thais to describe white caucasion peoples, was originally for White europeans, not denoting if they were from the south or north of europe. Now it is loosely used for any white caucasion peoples, so will include australian, american etc. Not used when describing black, asian or arabic races.

WAH!

I was merely pointing out alot of Southern Europeans are darker. Its not a pissing competition so get over it.

Farang, sometimes pronounced falang, is the generic Thai word for a white foreigner. Africans or African-Americans will be occasionally referred to as farang dam (black farang). While generally farang is a neutral word, it can be used as an insult depending on its context. For instance, the expression "farang ta nam khao" (literally means farang with rice-milk-colored iris) would be considered an insult.

sorry thats crap (also your example), Generalisations is judging people before you've met people from the examples of a tiny few (and its offensive) eg all Arabs are terrorist, all thai people are going to scam you, all americans like their president

Well we have every right to generalise and if you want to start a thread about every idividual human being on the planet then go right ahead. Jonny69s exsample made perfect sense to the point were it pissed you off. What your saying is that you will not draw the sensible conclusion that more men have 2 testicles then ones with one testicle without asking every man on earth. Start asking.

What im saying is that western girls abuse the power they have to the point that it takes the fun out of it. I wish the hell they were more practical like the thais. Do you like going through the motions with western women?

this makes no sense at all. how does taking a viagra help you chase/court/romance a woman? would be hard walking around with the woody.

I have my own money and yours holds no interest for me !!! I don't want your babies either and I own my own house....So I really can't see how your 50% raise or lottery win is going to affect anything I might be doing in bed !!
