A bunch of grass and a step ladder are the minimum requirements.

Yes, very noble, they are in for another beating. For goodness sake doesn't PP have a political advisor, keep your mouths shut about rewriting the constitution until you are in power with a large majority.....study Thaksin to see how it's done.

He didn't bother wooing with mooing but went straight to the screwing, cows don't like that.

Indeed, barely back in Thailand and he is PM already even if his daughter has the title, one must admit Thaksin is a political genius.

She does have publicity on her side, the police don't like their cowardice and laziness to be shown in the light of day and if anything happens to her 'big shot' is the first suspect.

Who's concerned?

We aren't in a position to know anything with certainty. My opinion is that he is a part of this elite but he became a little too maverick, unreliable, and inconsistent due to his survival instinct, he is politically astute and his flag waves in the direction he feels will benefit him the most so he became an incalculable risk but even with all this opposition he still swam to the top, his elite brothers may eye him with suspicion but many still dance to his tune. Machiavelli would have been proud of him. Henry V would have had him beheaded.

That just shows the extent of his influence, the ultra conservatives had him in prison and yet he still managed to slip through their fingers, he is virtually untouchable, he is a danger to the military machine and they know it, he is an uncontrollable maverick, a survivor with his fingers in every pie. The ordinary Thai has no influence, the last elections showed how much the elite from every spectrum disdain public opinion which is why I doubt that the MFP or peoples party will ever change anything, look at the UK, over 150 years of working class struggle and the elite still hold power, land, the media, capital and the means of production are still in their hands, changing political parties changes nothing. How right Mark Twain was when he said, "If elections could change anything they wouldn't be allowed"

You need to be qualified? Surely a commission in the army and immense wealth is sufficient.

We all have our ambitions, be they great or small.

The Church of England this time, it would be better if the clergy from the Catholic and C of E met once a week to bang each other, a sort of 'nonce day' to spare the kids.

Go to the IDC in Bangkok

Money knows no borders and has only one international language, greed.

err, no, never wondered about that.

He'll be due for retirement when he gets out.

Looks a bit gay to me.

Yes, the pain is excruciating, nothing like a bee sting, more like a red hot poker being stabbed into your foot (I trod on one barefoot a few years ago) it lasts a couple of hours but no, you won't die from it.

I can't agree with that statement although I can imagine that in Bangkok and other stressful places the propensity to violence is higher than in more rural areas. I personally have never had any negative experiences with either taxi or tuk tuk drivers in Bangkok, on the contrary I have found taxi drivers to be most obliging, having said that I must add that I am not often in Bangkok so perhaps I've just been lucky.

Thank you.....I'll go in person as always, it seems less complicated.

Don't deep throat if you are an epileptic, it won't be a good night, especially near water.

Your post serves no purpose. It isn't necessary to broadcast the private ruminations of your mind unless you are seeking validation but why should you need that? you aren't the master of your thoughts anyway.

Strike that last word and replace it with dictatorship. If the basis of communism is truly, "To each according to his needs, from each according to his abilities" then it would be an ideal system but it was never actually practiced, it was always dictatorships from the word go, it is wrong to criticize a system that has never been put into practice. I am not a Christian but the religion is often vilified these days but again it is a religion that has never been practiced by a whole society, the USA is not a Christian society despite all the hypocritical assertions and in Europe it has died out as a mass religion. Unfettered capitalism is a horror show as can be seen from the past in Victorian England or the late 1800's in America, only social democracy with controlled capitalism, a parliament, trade unions and a free press can control the worst excesses of the human psyche and even that isn't perfect, there is always someone or group willing to take advantage of the weak links in the system which exist in order not to slide down the slope to dictatorship. There is a lack of true spirituality within mankind which has the propensity to stamp on the weakest and take what they can.

It's a 'legal' coup before MFP had a chance to govern, nipping democracy in the bud before it had a chance to blume, this decision is a disgrace and is rightly recognized as such by the international community.

Yes you pedant, I haven't had my morning coffee yet

There never has been a communist country, plenty of dictatorships claiming to be, even the Soviet Union didn't give itself the title communist, it was a dictatorship that called itself the Soviet Socialist Republic of Russia. (no, socialist doesn't equate with communist)
