They couldn't even if they wanted to. Hundreds of years of change cannot take place at will. Even the internet cant achieve that. -
RC plane accident severely injures Nonthaburi woman’s finger
BangkokReady replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
She should be fairly compensated for any expenses, loss of earnings or loss of amenities. That means a lot more than the initial medical fees. She did nothing wrong and is suffering as the result of another's negligence. -
OPINION: New Thaksin chapter about to begin

You think Thaksin has never committed a crime? That's so cute. -
OPINION: New Thaksin chapter about to begin
BangkokReady replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I can imagine Thaksin and Chuwit taking a stroll around a park. Chuwit will look at the horizon and say, " We are getting old Tony. I remember when all this was just fields." Thaksin, staring at the floor, will respond, "Do you think God will forgive us for what we've done?" Chuwit will not answer. Both will then walk on silently, staring pensively ahead. -

But were they fighting for democracy or just for Thaksin? -

If they stop fighting for democracy once democracy doesn't get them the result they want, were they ever really fighting for democracy? -

What equivalence do you think I am I making, false or otherwise? I'm saying they are being dishonest, claiming they want democracy then clearly showing they aren't so bothered by it if it means they get what they want. -

If they cared about elections and elected government, wouldn't they be fighting for such a thing now? MFP got a majority and Pita should be PM. The fact that they are ok with this not happening because Thaksin can come back shows exactly what they care about. Not even close to what I have said. -

That's why I wrote "a majority of Thais", rather than "the majority of Thais". -

The point is that they don't seem too bothered about Pita and MFP being brushed aside, even though they were the choice of a majority of Thais in a democratic election. This suggests that they don't care that much about democracy, they simply want their guy to be in power. So they are saying "we fight for democracy", when in reality, they fight for Thaksin.- 127 replies

Because the red shirts (the subject of the discussion) are saying they are supporters of and fighters for democracy, when clearly they want something else. Their being the same as the previous government is exactly the point. -
You would have thought that once other students found out about it, they might have pointed out how impractical it was (not to mention illegal and immoral) and they might have realised they were being exploited. I wonder if they really thought one of them would end up in a permanent relationship with the teacher.

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.- 127 replies
