The country’s complicated and onerous legal provisions

Here, let me simplify them for you:  the wealthy get what they want, the powerful get more power, and the poor are neglected and told to mind their manners.  

I guess Superdelegates aren't just a USA thing eh?  Democracy is very uncomfortable for the rich.  As my brother likes to say, democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for dinner.

He has sustained several injuries as of press time. The gunman, who eyewitnesses say appeared to be another foreign man, sped away in a car.

Maybe he was on the Myrotvorets list.  

Actually, I found the same thing in Pattaya. I ordered a bolt at a certain location and long story short the local taxi mafia was not pleased and gave him a stern talking to.  He had to pay them 200 baht, which i promptly paid him and apologized (the mistake was really mine).  But yes, taxi mafia, watch out baby!

Those are CoVid nipple masks, you fool!  Get with the times.

This case seems quite obvious, and after heard the podcast from while he ws on the run, there os no doubt he killed the man, he admits he did it even. So the question is, did the family father invade  Bullman room with a butter knife, or did Bullman invade the family fathers room. Even Thai police should manage to provide evidence of who did what. 

To me, more of a problem is not the fact that the Thai police are not 100% reliable (no police are), but rather what the consequences of making an honest, malicious, or systemic mistake will be when the death penalty is factored in.   If the death penalty were not involved, it would be a no-brainer to try him here, but ... well, this is for sure complicated, so it's lucky for the world you and I are not the final arbiters here in the comment section.  :-)

So what?  What have the Swedish police got to do with this case?

Swedes, Norwegians, whatever, we Americans can't be bothered with such trivia.  LOL

Murder can carry the death sentence in Thailand, which is probably why European countries will not extradite back to Thailand.

Fair enough, I've come to be against the death penalty because inevitably, innocent people will be executed, and there is no appeal after the gallows.  Kind of hypocritical of a society to accept that cost in my view, while pearl-clutching over the crime of murder.

If anything is certain, it is that the power and wealth of the Thai army needs to be diminished, in order for the nation to prosper. They are like a vacuum, sucking the blood and treasury from society. A vampire group.

Agreed, and this I think applies to every country in the world, especially my home, the US.  

Inappropriate driving!  LOL I'm gonna remember that one. 

Really, what a sad statement, that if you don't conscript citizens they will fall into poverty.  How about doing something about the poverty in your society that involves non-military, non-police solutions?  Is that so hard to imagine?

iTV is not defunct, they are still active and posting their revenue if you google it for 2021 and 2022.
Yes Army and Government runs TV+Radio station. Many of not most government run radio and TV stations. Also some military...nothing wrong with it and not banned in the constitution.

By any chance, was the constitution drafted by the army?  That would be convenient then, wouldn't it.

abolish monopolies and promote fair competition in all industries, such as alcoholic beverages

Nice words.  Unfortunately, let's all remember these are politicians speaking, so 90% of this is lies.  Just keep that in mind.

You appear to have strayed from the point more than somewhat. A lot of inconsequential waffle is the kindest thing I can say!

Well, at least you are trying to be kind.  I was answering a direct question with my comment.

Get over yourself. 

 

Looks like you've been conned by a bunch of YouTube conspiracy theorists. 

 

 

Do you have any specifics about what I'm wrong with, or are you just going to continue your personal attacks without any substance behind them?  I think any thoughtful person can see you don't have much of an argument and are just trying to say "what?  you're crazy!" over and over.

Is that what you said when vaccines were developed by these companies from scratch in record time at a time when the world was in turmoil and they came in at about €20 per shot and 100s of millions were produced under huge logistical pressures?

No, when Donald Trump announced Project Warp Speed I was skeptical about his motivations, and it turns out I should have listened to my instincts.  My sympathies are always with the working class, and the lockdowns never sat right with me.  If only I had followed the money...  I was quite convinced at first that masks and vaccines were the right approach.  I was incredulous that people were questioning any of it.  But now in hindsight we have more information available if you are brave enough to look.  I invite you to continue to explore your own thinking on the subject, happy to answer any questions from my global audience.  ????  Enjoy the sweet Thailand summer warmth.

All philanthropists.....not a second they think about the money

how can they?  Too busy saving the world with cutting edge medical technology that is "guaranteed safe and effective or your YouTube account will be deleted."  That's a promise!

The homeless opposite Mike do create lots of disturbance, fights fuelled by alcohol and meth, daily. They use the area as toilet. Smell horrible.

City hall should remove them once for all, and clean up this area, if they care about the city's reputation.

Radical idea:  give them a home and provide medical care for them?

the crackdown on beachfront prostitution followed orders from deputy police chief Surachate “Big Joke” Hakparn to be more rigorous in preventing crimes against tourists

Somehow this doesn't add up to me.  What crime against tourists are prevented by limiting prostitution to Walking Street?  I guess ladyboy crimes are always a thing, but that doesn't seem warranted.  I feel like this is just another short-lived revenue stream idea.

Thailand has an unconstitutional constitution

Oxymoron of the week for me!  Is it just me or is this just not possible?

Unfortunately, those in power, who were not voted for by the people, continue to show that they have no respect at all for the voters and the people of Thailand.

They only respect the man who put them in power and who also fills their pockets.

Yes, I think this is a universal situation around the globe.  I feel like workers right now need to unite against their  capitalist oppressors who just want to use their labor and then throw them in a pit when they get old.  This time in Thailand, it's going to be hard to go against the will of the people, but you can see they really really want to, because they have no respect as you say... it's the way of the world, baby.  I think the real solution is just to eat more pizza.  It makes you happy and when you're done with it you just poop it out.
