Susie, not so sure what you expect institutions to produce in people? Should Eton and Oxford only produce the very finest cosmopolitan, vegan, post-materialist, UN do-gooders? Oh

Sorry for being sarcastic Susie.

Ya gotta love it. Thanks to the wonders of Google’s algorithms, when I opened the link it showed up adjacent to an add paid for by “orientalbrides.com” offering up Thai women seeking husbands.

Andrew, i like the way you ‘exposed’ to the world how to love my country. Sarcastic, humorous but true!
PostScript: Instiutions, no matter how prestigious they are, cant garantee their members’ morality and other virtuous identities. Possibly because some institutions themselves lack of such characteristics as well.

Please note: New Mandala encourages vigorous debate. However, for the moment we will only be publishing high-quality comments that make original contributions to discussion. There will, of course, still be space for pithy, humorous, eccentric and cheeky input. Short and sweet will usually trump long and involved. Repetitive ranting, unimaginative point-scoring and idle abuse will not be entertained. Comments which carry a real name are also more likely to be approved. Thank you for your ongoing interest and contributions.
