Hehehe, where do I start? It is difficult for me to write it in a funny way.
Just some examples (these are all things they claim not to do);
They burn books (this is a democracy, aparently).
They only respect the law when it suits them.
They only respect a vote ballet when it goes in their favor; minorities here have changed fairly elected governments using money and military force, even though that wasn't the wish of the majority (recently; the illegal government is still in power).
They call this place the "Land of Smiles"; smiles are all fake here, they just want your money.
They brag about being so polite people; I refuse to go to KFC, McDonalds or Burger King anymore, simply I am sick of people pushing in front of me in the line. It is funny, but, as soon as you tap them on the shoulder and look them in the eye then they back off, so they knew what they were doing. They only have manners when eye contact is being made, like a dog. Another example of poor manners whenever they don't have to look you in the eye is driving on the road. Ihave been intentionally pushed off the road on my motorbike and into the gutter before by people in utes. Not polite at all.
You can also go to jail for spitting here, as it is considered dirty. This is funny, because it is not uncommon they share saliva covered spoons with each other when eating, anyway.
Just stuff like this. They claim many things about themself, and are such proud people. Really, it is a complete mess.
