I agree with you for the most point. I think the Thai people in this culture for the most part does not have the time to sit around and think three dimensional or relativity. Thai are too busy surviving.

Thai people could not understand why the Webster dictionary does not have the word "Krang Jai" either. Westerners sit around trying to understand the depth of the universe but can not understand their wives' feelings. In the Thai's eyes, you're the zombies?

I also once asked a group of blond american college girls , "What does 'DC' stands for, and they answer-'Da Capital' "! So, how would they have answered who won the WWII?... I'd rather not ask.

I see your point, I really do. But every country has their weaknesses. It's life! How is your wife today?
