Unanimous reaction from all Thais around me: this government will blame anyone and anything but themselves for their own amateurism and incompetence. Actually I've never seen them so furious and explicit in their discontent and frustration, they're both appalled and ashamed to be led by such hypocritical losers.

There was a Malaysian businessman who travelled in and out of Thailand several times even though Singapore issued an arrest warrant for him with interpol. Why was he allowed to travel and why wasn't he arrested? Prayut had 44 at the time. 

They arrested and jailed the whistleblower who revealed the whole affair though. 

Nothing in the shrimp and fishing industry ? 

You would wonder how that info is pertinent on a Thailand forum. 

Wait... 

The last remaining power of the British monarchy, apart from maintaining lavish lifestyles at the British taxpayer expense, is keeping its own family members in line. You can't blame them for using it with unwavering authority. 

Next: floods. 

The things people are made to apologise for these days... 

Carlos gone.

I wouldn't morally condemn a father seeking revenge for his loved ones but that isn't the role of a justice system to satisfy that kind of need. It is a social function that regulates our coexistence but also defines us as a society, and as such it is not rendered only in the name of victims and their legitimate claims but also in the name of society itself.

At least on that point I find it sane that our (European) societies do not define themselves as life and death systems but prefer to “take the hit” when an atrocious act is committed, exclude dangerous individuals and try to grief by seeking truth instead of a delusive consolation in some kind of proportional punishment that do not bring any satisfaction to anyone except comforting victims and society members in their hate and resentment.

As for its usefulness and role as a deterrent, just compare the violent crime rate in Western countries that apply the death penalty and those that don’t.

Actually the name of that bird is "pak berd" means bill open, or mouth open i believe... He he... That is what the Thai's call it.

Just some useless trivia..

 Thanks actually, not useless at all.

Cheers. 

Because it's not true perhaps !?

Kids these days... not even able to properly escape the police or shoot it away.

In my time gangsters were more determined.

This youth has no values !

Nothing will demoralize the last popular regime on earth that still resists the global dictatorship of imperialism with its proud and prosperous people and invicible army.

Don't make such an important decision for your life because of "pressure". Seriously.

Behave like a free man, say what you want or not want to do, and you'll see if your realtionship is genuine, but do not marry if you have to ask on a forum if you should do it or not.

It's obvious to everyone that you shouldn't.

Please do not marry, for your own sake.

Never admit.
