Joseph OReilly commented about Thailand versus Philippines Culture, On Sunday June 14th, 2009 10:15:09 PM

Wow what a blatant generalization,and not to mention an ignorant comment to call anyone no less a population of people pigs!! I appreciate Philippine and Thai people for their differences,and yes their is a lot of guilt and the proverbial fear of god in the Philippines as compared to Buddhist Thailand( And i understand both worlds being a practicing Buddhist and also spending my first 18 yrs living in a repressed Catholic Ireland.)but any Philippine person i have met on the contrary was very clean.And to define the value of anyone by their fashion sense or their ability to speak your preferred language says more about you than the people you are generalizing about.How come some of us in the west believe that our language and so called culture is of more importance than another countries language and culture.I wonder as to your ability to speak Thai or one of the many dialects of the Philippines.I guess one of the last things we in the west need to do is stop comparing other cultures to ours,being so arrogant as to think we are the superior culture because of our imagined sophistication.
