Have you noticed how a lot of these type of threads are about conformity to their norms? 
 

If you don’t conform to their way of thinking or what they perceive as the right way then you are somehow some kind of weirdo.

If you hate everyone, why are you paying for your daughter's education? Oops, off topic.

Oh dear. Another one who has no appreciation of the problem with statistical assumptions. After you sir.

My post was clearly a joke & I included a laugh emoji.

Yes, I know. I was responding in kind.

I think it's cultural.  Compared to most normal (non HiSo) Thai people, Europeans are, in general, more aggressive and confrontational. 

 

After living in Asia for 15 years I forget how rude people are in my 'home' counyry until I make my annual visit.

 

I know I'm making big generalisations, but in my experience Thais, Americans, Indonesians, Philippino's, Taiwanese, Korean, Sri Lankan and (surprisingly) Iranian are at the polite end of the cultural spectrum, with Brits and Australians at the other end.  

 

But if you're going to go to war, you want the Brits and Australians on your side!

I'm Australian, and yes we do have some bogans.

We are a contrary lot, if an Australian knows you and is verbally rude to you, it's because he likes you.

In their home country, I've found Americans to be very polite. Perhaps that comes from being in a land with so many guns.

OTOH, Burdick and Lederer's book about Americans abroad is not fiction.

I don't speak much to Thai people, and only the ones I'm sleeping with or created are allowed in my home.

OK fair call, long as your happy bro, if I wasn't married I wouldn't like being without someone there.

Yes - it may superficial, and not apply in New York or Washington,  but I find Americans to be culturally polite - especially middle America.

i think his kids and girlfriends can help, maybe more so than a married partner

i believe in the golden rule:   Do unto others before they do it to you   (joke)

 

also:   No good deed goes unpunished  ( not a joke, unfortunately)

I see many posts in FB Farang groups where the poster goes on about his expensive house,  car, how much income etc.  Wannabes who think they are special

If one has read this thread thus far, the question has been answered very clearly.
