No, no, no, they want democracy! That is what they have "fought tirelessly" for... ????

If they are really pro-democracy, they should now be campaigning for Pita to be PM. The fact that they're happy with the result if it means Thaksin returns to Thailand suggests they favour one result over another, rather than what people actually democratically voted for. Sadly, it isn't uncommon for people to claim they want a particularl progressive thing (democracy, human rights, etc.) but really they just want the result that they favour.

A possibility, but up until the point that he refused, the manager didn't know he would attack him, so nothing to really call the police about.

Christ... ???? "If my two year sojourn into politics confirms one thing..."

They want them placated.

Depends how open minded she is...

An absolute tragedy. But, what can you do? Put up barriers all around the water's edge?

It seems a lot more about how someone might benefit, or prevent loss, than worrying about doing the right thing. However, people still always operate in their own interest, it's just that the behaviour changes based on the culture.

The thing that makes it so daft, is that they aren't going out to find the same brand of OJ as Lisa was drinking. They're just finding some random OJ on a stall somewhere. It makes no sense.

surprised? Did you even check before commenting? So sure of being right? ????

That is slightly different. It's about building a brand image through association and would mostly target people who drink cola anyway. I can't imagine many people who previously had zero interest in cola would seek out the drink simply because Messi is on the can (although you cannot completely rule it out). This is just people seeing someone drinking orange juice and wanting to do the same thing. Literally "Oh, Lisa is drinking orange juice. I want to drink orange juice now." Are they even drinking the same type of orange juice? It doesn't look like any freshly squeezed orange juice I've ever seen, and it it doesn't look like what Lisa is drinking either.

The problem is, you're getting Western "internet values" mixing with Thai entitlement and lack of consequences. The worst of both worlds.

Diet, exercise, positive thinking.

Can't they just have the same coalition as before, or does having MFP in the alliance mean that whomever they nominate will be rejected?

They have an income, they have a rented property, they can run a motorbike, they have money to visit the waterpark. Their children aren't starving.

A wealthy business man with no knowledge of politics? Perfect! ????

Is Thailand OK?

What if this selects for the most evil, violent and underhanded people? Is that an improved species?

Parents and local communities could help.

Lack of public support.

This is Thailand. Think about what your friend wants, not what you want. She obviously sees the consequences of rocking the boat as being far worse than what is happening in the shop. You are probably harming her more than you are helping her. Things in Thailand just don't work the same way as they do in our home countries.

Is there somewhere you can find now with the same level of development, or is everything ruined by the internet?

I believe they paid him.

Anutin or Prawit for PM.

Women generally age far worse than men.
