  1. No EC country or Bangkok based Ambassador believes otherwise than Mr Kent on the defects of the current government, awkward though that may be for some of you.

    I assume you have the sources to back up that claim? Oh right, you don't. As usual.

    You see, the problem with activists like yourself resorting to utter absolutes is that absolutes always make those who use them be wrong all the time. This is an absolute statement that is always right. ;-)

  2. Posting glib and irreconcilable commentary here is inappropriate. No, coups do not sit well with me, but are the Thais stockpiling weapons over this? Are the Thais screaming bloody murder over this? I speak to Thais, I love Thais, and they are of the opinion that any government that helps them is good. They simply do not care this is a coup. (...)

    Enough is enough, posers.

    Well said - sadly we have the likes of LazarusRising and tbthailand's who have appointed themselves as 'supreme protectors of thainess' and feel they can only do that through misrepresentations and lies.

    There is no case. That facade is crumbling. Delay, delay, delay. (...)

    Try writing your comments with logic and reasoning instead of meaningless rhetoric as if a semi-literate child wrote it and then maybe some us will bother to consider what you say.

    LOL.

  3. No.It is a summary of the position related to me by a senior member of an EC embassy official in Bangkok.

    Considering that you and your friends have a tendency to be quite loose with the truth, your claimed source is quite doubtful, at the very least.
    Don't be a dolt.Every statement on this anonymous forum can be questioned in that way.If however you can demonstrate the EC position on Thailand is other than described, by all means do so.

    As long as you fail to support your claim, I don't have to, particularly since you are demanding to prove a negative. Look that one up.

    Until you do, your claim is just another "because I say so" assertion. Furthermore, the statement about Prayuth's travels to Europe is based on tbthailand's earlier 'assured assertion' that Prayuth was banned from travel to Europe -- until he was proven incorrect by pesky facts (notably Prayuth traveling to Europe).

  4. but we don't need citations, do we Daffy?

    Don't extrapolate from yourself onto others - you *are* required to back up your assertions with actual sources, lest they be considered fantasy-borne fabrications, particularly since you have a history of such (I need only refer to your insistent assertion that Prayuth was forbidden to travel to European countries - whoops).

    You consistently assert lots of nonsense as if it were fact, or quote laws and directives deliberately out of context, to fit your narrative - and consistently ignore most instances when others correct you, or point out that you are wrong.

    Face it, you have zero credibility at this point, as you are known to be consistently frothing at the mouth while deionizing the Prayuth government - so, yes, buddy - you ARE required to support your assertions with sources.

  5. The question was posed to you, to ascertain what you feel a relevant timeframe for the next ejections would be - a question you are evading.

    Here, I'll play - I believe that the Prayuth government should take their time, whatever necessary, to create the proper environment for democracy and elections. Personally, I feel this should take a minimum of 3 years, no longer than 5 years.

    Either are an insignificant time, to get things right, consider all that is at stake.

    The majority of Thais appear to agree, considering only a fringe appears malcontent, mostly on principle.

  6. so they picked on 9 (lucky number) when it is well known in thailand that EVERY police force control the soccer bets (via the collectors of course)

    people have nailed it on here this is one big power struggle between the corrupt RTP and the equally corrupt Military.......in 3 years it will swing back to the police again

    Close, but no cigar. This is not so much an RTP vs Military thing, but more ( for the sake of argument and oversimplification ) a "yellow" vs "red" thing and who they respectively support and idolize.

    I agree. This seems more like one faction of police with certain loyalties correcting some imbalances in power (and taking retribution) against another faction with different loyalties. I don't think it is the army that is pulling the strings here.

    Maybe, but then why did this faction wait until the army was in control to do what they want to do? I don't think they are operating in a vacuum.

    Because with the army in support of such crack downs, this faction no longer has to fear repercussions by doing the right thing.
  7. I'm American and wish the US government would stop sticking their nose into other country's affairs. I believe most Americans feel the same as me.

    Maybe you should spend more time in the library, instead of Walmart.

    Attacking someone for their own views, now that's being smart.

    He was speaking for 'most Americans' and I resent that.

    Why? Because *YOU* represent most Americans?
