RE: It’s a Wrap: Thoughts After Steemfest
What an obnoxious and uneducated snob you are. This is possibly the most offensive and disgusting post I have ever read on Steemit.
please make environmental footprint, social accountability, and personal safety some of the top priorities when choosing a venue for Steemfest 5.
They did. That's why they chose Bangkok.
I'm so angry, I'm not even going to waste my time refuting your claims. Seriously, no wonder the world is so fucked up with people like you in it.
PS There is no 'dog' eating in Thailand you ignoramus, it's as rare as it is in any other country. Of course in Europe, horse meat is commonly eaten but I fail to see a great difference.
Hey, don't be rude.
Keyboard warriors belong in their mom's basement, playing WoW, not trolling good Steemians like @rhondak.
Please refrain from being so ungracious in the future.
LOL!
I try to take into account that many people--even those who live in the areas with practices I object to--have zero awareness of what goes on in the underbelly of their culture. For example, I was embedded in Appalachia for more than a decade, and most residents of the county I lived in, including the county supervisor, had no idea that their municipal kill shelter destroyed more than a thousand dogs every year and almost as many cats (county population less than 44,000.) People were unaware that the shelter they paid taxes to fund was one of the highest kill shelters in the state of Virginia overall and in the nation, for its size. It took five years for the term "no-kill" to be accepted in that community even though it was a proper term for modern sheltering (the commonwealth attorney told me to my face I was giving everyone in his office heartburn by using those words--true story.) It took even longer for the county to approve construction of a modern shelter and agree to let shelter employees work with private rescues to place dogs they would have otherwise simply killed. The community was completely unaware of all this and resented me greatly for pointing it out. I'm not unaccustomed to stepping on toes and being on the receiving end of abuse from people who absolutely do not want to hear the truth about where they live. I am writing a series of posts about that now.
Nice edit and good try but I'm not getting into guilt ridden 'I've done more food things than you debate' . My original opinion you based on the content of your post stands .
Lol..my mum doesn't have a basement and expressing opinion isn't trolling . No idea what WoW is but .
Keyboard warrior ? Idiot
Uhhmmm... no. You're dead wrong, my friend. Do your research. I certainly did.

You can ignore the facts from your own gilded cage if that's what you prefer. But I will always, ALWAYS take the side of the vulnerable and the victimized, and for this reason, certain areas of the world are absolute no-fly zones for me because I will not knowingly support, even in a small way, an econonomy that indulges in these types of practices.

Child prostitution in Thailand
Thailand has an unfortunate reputation for being a centre for child sex tourism and child prostitution. Even though domestic and international authorities work to protect children from sexual abuse, the problem still persists in Thailand and many other Southeast Asian countries. Child prostitution, like other forms of child sexual abuse, not only causes death and high morbidity rates in millions of children but also violates their rights and dignity.
Thank you, little robot, for putting it out there.
Excellent. So obviously it's not me who is living in a gilded cage, it's you but I have no idea where your secret utopian location could possibly be. If you actually supported causes directly instead of just sitting in front of a PC reading wikipedia and casting judgement, you might make a difference in the world.
You really don't bother to do your research at all, do you? You have no clue about my "location" even though I've been publicizing it and writing on the topic of my firsthand experiences for years....
And, for some humor (even though it's not really funny,) here's what happens when you mix Appalatchuns with Thailand. (I have a grievous bone to pick with Appalachia, too, as most people know.)
