Ah, yes, those schemin', cheatin', lyin' inscrutable Orientals... totally devoid of Western morality... Those temples... all tourist traps... The Thai, Myanmar governments' dual prices systems, one for locals, one for farangs... such discrimination, ripping off those of the West...
Seems that, while some may have heard the names Confucius, the Buddha, they might not have read the books. Why bother? All that Western morality... Careful... woke alert, woke alert. Yea, but, perhaps if you ask the Native Americans, the Indigenous Australians, they might have a slight difference of opinion on Western morality, those ungrateful savages scorning the benefits of Western Civilization.
Like pmmeyourknee_ said, dishonesty can be found everywhere. It's the individual that matters.
Personally, I just follow the Golden Rule, found in many cultures, Western and Eastern.
But hey, for those discerning individuals, I'm willing to sell my rights to the North bound 3rd lane between 12:00-15:00 Harbor Bridge tolls for a cheap price.
