Different culture, different values, and different ways of doing things.

I'm sure they think a lot of our practices are weird ( FFS I think our political system is weird  ). 

The challenge is for both parties to recognise the differences, accept them and not be judgmental of each other.  It should then be possible to deal appropriately with each other, but not necessarily on equal terms.

You have to go by the values and laws of the country you're in.  Break our laws and you're subject to our justice system.  Break their laws in their country and you're subject to their justice system.  That doesn't mean you have to agree with the death penalty for drug smuggling, just don't smuggle drugs.

I don't normally have a lot of time for Bob Katter and I can't stand animal cruelty.  However, I recently heard Katter talking about the reaction to the killing of the Australian steer in Indonesia (that led to the suspension of live cattle exports) and he asked what right do we have to impose our values on Indonesian butchering practices?  I think that is a fair question, after all, in the immortal words of the Backsliders "the facts are not only in English".

re: the Thailand incident....its all wrong but when you have a country that runs on the sex trade and life is so cheap its hardly surprising.
Seems you can buy your way out of anything there..been to Thailand but I wont be going back...
