The 13 kids stuck in a cave were at the will of a spirit called Nang Norn who used to be a human woman but turned into a mountain dont you know 
It wasnt those very brave individuals really who risked their lives to get em out, it was those women outside offering the mountain pettles ffs

I think perhaps we need to send out a few more books.

How old are you? I ask for two reasons
1. You are making fun of someone's belief when they haven't even done anything wrong to you. 2. You didn't know how Buddhists roll? What books do you intend to send them by the way? |
|
By:
Any books and all.
There seems a distinct lack of tangible knowledge of the surroundings. Sure people who may be inclined to be spiritual might promote stuff they cant support with evidence, but are they really to suggest that it was the spite of the mountain that was appeased by candles that released those kids? Its like travelling back in time to an age where people worshipped gods of all things. |

By:
 I know your intentions are only good, but it made me chuckle that you think you need to travel back in time to meet people that worship gods of all things. You should start reading(or traveling). |

I recall reading a story of a buddhist who lived in a cave.
He spent half his live in it doing nowt then one day came out into the populous below the mountain, who were having a festival of something or other. A child attempted to avoid an elephant and stepped on his foot, and in anger the buddhist raised his hand to strike the child..... only to stop and realise he had failed and went back up the mountain into his cave (to presumably die) |
|
By:
No i'm not talking about reading those type of stories ffs
|

So what sort of guff would you have me read?
I have a large collection of books, several even mythological, but thats all fiction. |

Its no different to Hesiod writting the origin of the gods.
He was a bored lonely mountain farmer making s hit up. |

My lady is thai and a devote buddhist..as are most thais in the remote parts..fabulous people and if westerners werent so obsessed with greed and power and went back to spirituality then you might understand that there is more to this planet than you could ever comprehend

By:

But I aslo would prefer fact before I jump into anything. |
|
By:

Occasionaly spat out when engerland lose again I keep them mean - so they know who is in charge. I am not stupid  bring on the soccerball next month!!! |

By:
For those spiritualist types,
What are we saying then? That those divers wernt needed (I didnt exactly see the mountain offing the kids up) Or they were needed because the offering werent good enough to sate the spite of the moutain god thing? Are (we) saying that the result would have been different if people outside wernt lighting candles? |
|
By:
You have probably had an urban upbringing..never relied on nature to provide for you..its not your fault you do not understand...simpler people...i use the word simpler reluctantly and would prefer more enlightened people

But we know how to farm etc etc, not out of guessing s hit but out of learning things from what we call science.
We dont rely on prayer to make things grow, we know what makes em grow ffs. |

The Thais are very religious people and very superstitious. Doesn't make them bad or stupid.
Thailand is a also a very insular society, with the vast majority of Thais having no knowledge of world affairs. Its not that they lack curiosity, they just don't have access to the information (whether its text or media) because of the language barrier. The vast majority ofThais don't speak English, its not taught as part of their elementary education system. Again, it doesn't make them ignorant or stupid. Its a beautiful country with beautiful people - welcoming, friendly and extremely polite. |

By:
Thats all very sweet platini.
But it doesnt make the prospect of asking the mountain to give up the kids any less daft Im afraid |
|
By:
Thank you plat..well put..i personally am happier amoungst people who will insist you eat and share their good fortune to have food..than i am with people who think what has he got that i want..i understand beliefs that every river ,mountain, field has a spirit, its just not a western way of thinking..i prefer theirs..im closer to that than the avarice,greed and vanity i see here
|

By:
If the elders had convinced the kids that a boogeyman lived in the mountain then they may never have got into such trouble in the first place.

Sounds to me the west shouldnt have bothered
