Ex-pats, do you speak Thai?

But your significant other is then a habitual liar, right.

Am I wasting your time? I am so sorry, just ignore me, then I won't waste your time. What I do with my time is my problem. I asked a question and I now have the answer, so I have achieved something and gained a little knowledge, not a waste of my time at all.

I've not caught her out yet.

Then why make that statement about Thais, and Pakis.....sorry forgive me but it sounds a little racist.

Because I can. Does it sound racist, OK, whatever, it's racist. I Live in the most racially integrated city in the entire world, it has all but 3 of the world's nations living here.
Someone else made the statement about Thais, I just compared them to the Pakis.

Good and Bad can be found in all races Man......

And no I don't really think you are a racist. If you were, you would be with someone of your own race to possibly, if you procreate strengthen it, not dilute it.

That is bollocks. I was on a (you'll never guess) another cultural awareness course in March and the we were told all but 3, and that came from DIMIA.

Yes, correct. I am a Northern Irish Protestant by birth and breeding, but I married a Scottish Catholic. I have friends with various skin colours and sponsor a child in both Cambodia and Mexico. I have a young friend in China who I consider to be my daughter, and I have a Thai girlfriend, with a full-Thai child who I will take on. I work with people from all over the world. I am entitled to think what I think about anyone. Many years ago as a policeman, we had an enlightening cultural awareness session. People can be boxed into 4 categories. 1, a prejudiced discriminator. 2, a non-prejudiced discriminator. 3, a prejudiced non-discriminator, and 4, a non-prejudiced non discriminator. In the ideal world we would all be in box 4, ie have no prejudice, and not discriminate, but that is unlikely. Box 3 is were we were expected to be as a minimum, and it is where I am most of the time. I don't discriminate against people because of any prejudice I may have but I am still entitled to have my opinions.

Racism , discrimination , predujice are all things im used to as many pick on me cos im a fat barstard from Scunthorpe but i just let it go over my heed as i think most are jealous as they dont originate from this great Northern metropolis ,

i consider myself in petemcc ,s number 3.

I must admit I never went to Scunthorpe, however I met quite a few people FROM Scunthorpe, well I say FROM, because they no longer lived there, in fact I never met anyone from Scunthorpe who still lived there. Sunny Scunny, eh, but I guess if you're into sexual masochism it's seems to be THE place to be.

Youve got it in 1 pete , Scunny per head population is the ugly bird capital of the world (Middlesboro a close second)every buggar wants out - safe sex with any gender is a must ...... something i learned whilst delivering the papers as a lad . .......... young Jon never go with a brass if youve got no cash as my old gran says . Seriously the local council is promoting dry slope skiing on the slag heeps around the steel works OR MAYBE i got the headline wrong HEEPS OF SLAGS IN SCUNNY or something !!! sorry sexist comment please delete
