seriously ?

Backpackers are at the bottom of everybody’s list, its completely unnecessary travel to everyone except their inflated egos and underdeveloped cognitive abilities, traveling just to make another country a scene for their money-saving games should be disallowed… dirty bird-shit ignorant greedy/stingy backpackers… the scum of the rich world !

this is a pun ?

Pay it Forward… if you transfer it to me I promise some day to do the same to someone else 🙏👍😊🤞

Ok, thats fair, Im from a nation that is of colonialist nature, actually in my optic they still have colonies, but that’s besides the point of this discussion. I agree with your optic on lots of civilised countries experiencing same problems, I also agree that USA and UK aren’t as civilised as their self-understanding suggests, however having lived in both places as well as India (along with many other places), I definitely wouldn’t put them at the same level of civilisation, India and most of the developing world is still vastly under-civilised everything else being equal. Im aware that some may take offence from me stating facts, but I haven’t bought into the whole “woke” atmosphere, the snowflake narrative and its safe zone philosophy, where we can’t discuss reality because some poor crybaby gets offended, so there is that…

@Brett *********

no, I dont mind, if you start by explaining why it’s relevant ?

@Brett *********

India just dropped to the 53rd spot on the EIUs Democracy Index, so instead of you sitting with your head up in the thin air on your high horse, maybe you come down and smell the real world ?

@Brett *********

being a “democracy” is one aspect that can be considered civilised, but Im not sure India is a true democracy since you have a large chunk of the population who are illiterate, outside the democratic process, suppressed by tribal culture and a large chunk who cant vote due to their position as castless slaves… so there is that, and every single part of the political system is corrupt to the core !

Werner Heisenberg I can definitely be more disrespectful if thats what I wanted, but no, Im just stating facts, and the truth is that a large chunk of the developing world, including India, are not being very civilised, unless you consider cast system, slavery, gangrape, pedophilia, corruption, poor sanitation and water management, high personal risk, high internal political friction, low quality of living, low price on human life, over population, illiteracy, poor distribution of wealth, poor access to healthcare and education, ignorance, uncontrolled drug abuse, underbanked, uninsured, extreme poverty, etc. civilised
