No Territorial Claim in Bangkok

No Territorial Claim in Bangkok
Bangkok, Thailand Southeast Asia
Andy of HoboTraveler.com

I walk in the streets of Bangkok, relaxed in the knowledge I do not need to claim my territory, I will not be tested today.

Walking in the world of West Africa I continually was challenged, embroidered in small men against men conflicts. Men and women would access me, measure me, try to see what I was made of, who, what, why I am. The test of how much they could take of me, how much I would take of them, was it possible to dominate me.

Animalistic claiming of territory is not a yes or no, it is not on and off, it is small trials, small test of my manhood.

These tests are needed in the world; however, on the continuum from savage to civilized the many-layered cake that is created is like traveling from a world of continued battle to a world where we lose the ability to fight, however safe and clear.

99 percent of the men of the world do not need to prove themselves, and that is OK, the test in the world should be optional.

Andy,

Being tested and challenged like that on a daily basis would wear on me. You did mentioned awhile back that you tried to encourage other traveler friends to join you in the journey through west Africa.

So I have to wonder; did they rely on numbers at times and use the group in an attempt to intimidate? Or were these incidence more of a one on one confrontation?

Will Bono help these working African Farmers ?

The developed world, about 20 percent of the planet rationalizes that all people given the change will be fair and just. Bono is naïve, and is helping Africa justify, if the white man will give me free money, then I will take the free money and more.

The White World is afraid to pass fair judgments on black people, and I believe this is a semi-racist way of treating people. If you pull back on your comments because a person is black then you are not treating them equal.

The black population in general has no intentions of taking a fair and just place in society, the world has given them the bank. They now just abuse the system and going on second and third generation of abuse of welfare giving. The best solution is to say,
- Get a job, work, create, become part of the world, stop being lazy, and abusing people, you are cruel, callous and savage. Time to grow up, I do no care if you are black, I am equal with you, you are trying to abuse me. -

This comment is what people learn in Africa but are afraid to say, Bono is just a man who does not see the big picture and is helping the abusers. Bill gates is much more realistic.
