It's the same for many religious people.... many do so much good in the world. Some do so much damage! But I think it's never right to "tar everyone with the same brush". The actions of a few, shouldn't be the end of so many who do so much good and devote their lives to the service of others....

And I suppose your next post will be a variation on the previous two, just different.

Maybe they are Thai (or welsh etc etc ) learning English …..

The Tinglish (Thai-English) phrase 'same same, but different' means 'similar'. While its precise origins are largely unknown, it's likely that this construction originally appeared when Thais who were learning English tried to converse with visitors.
