Re: Manila Train Mutilation, The Man is Still Alive
great answer - those who have never seen the philippines or similar countries will never understand my wife is a filipina and when on holiday i was amazed to see the squatters on the train line in metro manila it is just something you don't expect to ever see - it is virtually surreal ![]() and this photo was taken at 9.30pm on a friday night on a road in the middle of nowhere . . . . and yet, the locals are still manning their little fruit hut in the hope of making just a little money to survive on ![]() it is both amusing and tragic when some people call the filipinos and others in similar countries savages. western world people are much more savage. they just hide behind their self righteousness. i have seen both the best and worst of australian's and filipino's and the filipino's win hands down for being great people the filipino's might rip you off, but that is to survive when the australian's rip you off it is for nothing but greed neither way is right, but at filipino's only do bad things because they are so desperate and of course there is a good chance the locals have no training - there is no point in calling an ambulance over there, because with the traffic, it hasn't got a hope of making it in time anyway. it is quicker to try and get someone to hospital yourself |
