From High Point NC??

I can understand your viewpoint being in America, there is quite a gay community in Thailand you would not be discriminated as much against there as you are in NC I asure you of that. There are no rednecks in Bkk lol

Paul is a bit off base in regards to respecting the culture quite often, no offense Paul but you can't deny that at one point or another you have offended everyone here.

I don't view it so much as traditions being shoved down a throat though. I mean you still remove your shoes prior to entering a home? You wash your hands before you grab the rice? You refer to your elders as luung? This is simply another part of the culture the way I see it, and I am American.
I understand about Europe, I agree. But we that is the Western wolrd, quite different from any Eastern country as you well know. She is likely planning a long term relationship, I would not do something to offend my future in-laws before we are even married. But after the wedding have at it girl lol!

In either case it is nice to see we have new members who show the respect to have an adult conversation, and maybe even consider it a debate, without flaming another for no reason.
