What a can of worms this is turning out to be.

We must never forget the aging population the 65+ they are the people that built Thailand with their hands. we must never forget the 50- many of them abused and destroyed whatever principals were built by the older generation

Possibly because in the past we could do what we like, how we like, and when we like. and its very difficult for many people to accept this change in policy. the only alternative is to let them learn through their pockets.

First right the wrongs, second give the money back, third make a public apology in the Media, then perhaps amnesty can be considered.

If you want to teach somebody to swim quickly, you throw them into deep waters.

In my opinion, this is a clear propaganda message, possibly organized and manipulated by some well known activists or political group as a warning to the people of the future in Thailand under the present government. My General should beware of these soft tactics that have huge results in the end.

The threat of a public protest (illegal under present law) seems to be the latest mindset of those in meed of the latest mobil phone, television card, hospital care, budget education, etc The rubber farmers have been and still are being taken for a ride on a vehicle, which they do not know how to steer, service, nor maintain. The chose the one crop per year income and its only due to their attitude toward not wanting to work hard for 12 months/year, that is holding them in the dire straits they find themselves in. Those that do their own tapping are making a go of it, these protesters most likely have control of illegal land plots, hire illegals to tap and screw everyone they do business with. Shape up or ship out, work for another individual (boss), comes to mind.

They seem to think that they should have the where with all to tell the government and the rest of the population, that they are the boss and this is how much they demand in compensation which we expect you to furnish. They are no better/worse than the corrupt civil servants/politicans who run this country..

Actually believe it or not the farming is one of the most important communities in Thailand as well as many countries, or would you prefer only to buy imported food products.

there are many items produced in Thailand that can be made of rubber or can have rubber ingredients instead of other materials.

Rubber can be made to stretch, can be as soft, can be as hard as one would like. and can easily replace many items and components made out of plastic today. it just takes a bit of imagination, for instance car bumpers can have a mixture of rubber and be flexible.

with all due respect Sir, its the only way at the moment, any other way will ultimately lead to the same problems as in the past. we are starting to get direction now,

Oh! But they do deduct tax monies from the Tutors, but they never pay it in, they pocket the money. besides that most of them keep two sets of books one is the original that is well hidden and the other is the false one to show the authorities.

I really don’t understand why there are so many ultimatums and threats in our country. “If you don’t help us we are going to do this, or that.” Sorry Guys the money tree has run dry for a while. Unless of course we up the VAT and personal income tax by 25% then perhaps we can give you some more freebies.

Why! Strawberry Jam = Strawberry Mouth.

Does that go for the Ferang too?

Any taxies older than 5 years should be replaced and not approved, taxies running for 18+ hours a day; 365 days a year must have excessive wear in all moving parts despite the low millage because of the continuous running of the motor

That was very well done, considering that the bottom of the rice sack was torn open for us in the past. I wonder if any other government would be capable of this achievement in such a short time.

You dead yet? (Logical answer) Why! are you a ghost? if not you will soon be.

So who cares! He is one of the most wanted fugitives in the country. In my opinion its elements in the media that keep fanning hatred in the country by putting more wood onto a dying fire. And when there is a backlash they all cry like little babies ‘No freedom of the press’. I think that press censoring is a good thing for certain topics at this sensitive stage in our fragile country, don’t you agree?

Unfortunately for the sake of stability and peace direct election is the only way to go for the time being.

What’s wrong with the good old buffalo? Pollution free, excepting for the occasional fart, has horns for indicators, has a tail to strap on brake lights, one can even tie a bucket underneath its tail and sell the manure.

The problem here is intimidation, which has been carried out by people that can only profit by criminal activities, like so many times in the past when a huge illegal activity is about to be exposed then sure enough an assassination will take place as a warning to others. The warning is carried out and spreads very quickly by the press.

It’s the only way to go, “A new slate for a new Thailand”. And the big plus factor is, that we will all be assured that the grand scale of corruption will not be so easy to mimic.

Again education comes into play. Many people simply dont know how to stand on their own two feet, or how to make provisions in self-support. In the past the powers just gave them a few blankets and a couple of baht to keep them happy. That is why these people can be so easily misled. No intention was ever made to educate these people in self-support. Because its very easy to control uneducated masses than educated ones.

Yea! I agree, the case has been dragging on for far too long, and is fast losing the public’s interest. Get thing’s over and done with so that we can get on with our lives instead of being burdened by sins of the past. Just ban the lot from politics for life.

Have faith, things are changing with our interim government, maybe not as fast as you would like, but they are changing. Just look at the track record of the achievements in just a few months, and compare it with the track changes of the past governments achievement’s in a few years. Big difference isn’t it?
