Veronika commented on the article |thank you Tazzie, no I am neither Thai nor American but the issue was if it is fair that homeless and people in need should be forced to listen to some religious sermons as an exchange for badly needed services being offered! As you mentioned it is quite possible to have shelters where people from different belief systems come together to help those who are less fortunate. And as you might agree, religions and/or other belief systems are still man made and thus vulnerable and susceptible to mankind's interpretations and ambitions etc. I have learnt however to focus on what is good and right rather than complain about situations I have no power to change so I have just joined a group of Thai and Expat women, friends from different beliefs to start a Cancer Support Group which will provide free education and support for patients. I believe that it is more worthwhile to just give what you can rather than focus on what should or should not be done...

Veronika commented on the article |and it is exactly this situation when driving across America the Beautiful that I sadly notice all the barren hilltops and mountains without any life - has anyone heard about watershed around here? When the rains bring mudslides and floods in the valleys then there is a big outcry TO WHOM ?

Veronika commented on the article |where is the fine line what to accept and where to look away? Call me old-fashioned - most certainly a showing of affection and love in public is beautiful - especially to the people involved but what happened to holding hands, Arms around the waist or shoulder, a kiss on the cheek, nose, forehead etc without the hazardous saliva exchange ignoring the very real threat of so many pandemics around?

how do you compare this situation to some schools in the US "recruiting" foreign students for their good cash and forbidding them to wear anything attesting to their belief or their Buddha amulets and forcing them to attend the church services to get the proper grades when their tuition is 10 times what US students would pay?

I wonder if you ever really have been to a Buddhist temple where the offerings to the monks are shared with the lay people and if there is a surplus it is provided to adjacent schools and working people without having to listen to a sermon or convert.

Do Mexicans officially need a visa to enter the US ? Then how can so many US visitors crowd the northern Mexican resorts if they would need a proper visa in a reciprocity agreement unless Mexico needs the "greenback" desperately? I think the economy consisting of selling plastic dolls and mind altering substances is hardly an economy worth supporting unless some very deep pockets encourage it... There are countries in this world where you need to book and pay a certain amount for accommodation and other services in your home country against coupons before your stay in order to keep out hooligans ! Isn't California free and easy enough to support its own holiday tourists and Hawaii within reach or do US tourists lose all perspective and ethics when crossing the borders ???
