In Topic: Thailand Ranks 2nd For Facebook User Growth

2012-05-25 20:51:56

It is amazing. It is big brother automated by the people themselves. I've seen a number of people rejected for job applications before interview because of the crap they've put on their facebook.
i.e. saying how work is boring and they were just clock watching or use of certain substances.

So no comment yet about why it's becomming popular in Thailand. I seem to remember another thread i.e. Bargirls finding sponsors. Posted Image

In Topic: Do We Really Pay For It One Way Or Another?

2012-05-24 18:39:21

Even wiki can answer this one:
Origin and etymology

The term husband refers to Middle English huseband, from Old English hūsbōnda, from Old Norse hūsbōndi (hūs, "house" + bōndi, būandi, present participle of būa, "to dwell", so, etymologically, "a householder").[1]

Yes we all pay for it one way of another. Posted Image

In Topic: Increasing Members Join Thai Nudist Group

I like the opening quote: 'Bangkok, Thailand, May 13, 2011 --(PR.com)-- A person would think a western concept such as naturism or nudism would not be accepted in Asia, but they would think wrong. People are really basically the same worldwide...'

Which parts exactly? If they do Nyotaimori in Asia then i'm sure naturism isn't too much to imagine. After all parts of Asia like Thailand have the weather for it. Cold weather in Europe could explain a shrinking in nudist members... Posted Image

I think the fact many fail to grasp is that copying is a natural behaviour in all parts of life.

It's actually a survival instict. It is far easier to let another individual take a risk and then to copy them if the risk pays off. It is for this reason that 'trends' exist. Fashion, food, computers, the internet. You name it. There are certain things that become popular and it is due to human nature.

Early on it would have involved copying others for things like trying new foods. Babies watching what their parents do for survival. Its a way of teaching and learning.

It can of course be self defeating. It's widely studied in the animal kingdom. In fact there are some animals that also use deception. Like the Jay bird which will pretend to bury food in front of others but later hide it somewhere else.
