The Ironies of Thai Selfie-Culture: Social Semaphore Over Smoothies

[JPSuisse]

This couple clearly pushed your buttons and activated the judgement engine. I would reserve judgment about them and their lives until you actually took some time to actually get to know them. Start a conversation, speak with them. Where are they from? Are they students? What kind of work do they do?

Don't want to do that? Then consider what your assessment is really based on. What do you really know about them and their lives? Think that they're wasting their young lives? That's mighty harsh based on no evidence.

Quite a bit of imaginative fiction in this writing. Not much reality.

CCP, I enjoyed the read. It is I think where we have landed today. But also, the picture did not look like my mental image from the story!

Ellisson's comment goes a completey different direction. Sure, you can also reduce this to an argument of everybody should just do his own thing and be happy. Fits completely into the another trend of our modern PC culture.

I have no qualms about the fact that your subjects would probably look at me the same way, if they noticed me.
