    The dollar will soon be less and less an influential/significant trading unit - generally speaking. Already starting to turn.

    Yes, of course. It's all about the protection and well being of the customers. Well understood that the banksters are your dear friends and extended family. Bless the financial institutions.......

    Actually, there are no specific rules or tradition as to how a royal pardon can be enacted. Nor can such a writ be overruled or overturned. There have been a number of examples over the decades [not terribly publicized] of a number of forced/self-imposed exiles receiving royal pardons - all of which never saw incarceration time.

    A most common trait among political and authoritarian types. One less corrupted mafia figure.

    Secrets that I can't reveal here......

    Remember the good old days when self-reliance, independence, intelligent thought and creativity were the fashions.

    He might not spend one day in prison. Deal's already been settled.

    Thaksin! Thaksin! Thaksin! Thaksin! ????

    Even the desperate and soured cynic that I might be, the above comment could be taken in agreement.

    Long standing tradition.

    Might you be suggesting that other deviant circles were working in tandem with old Thakky? That all would make sense - cover ups and protection rackets is what they do well.

    All about the health and well being of the people. Of course it is.

    Though, I suspect that such random do-gooders are rather lacking in displays of truer goodness. In practice or theory. I might trust a curmudgeonly cynical type before engaging in such romantic embrace of the do-gooder [whatever that might be]

    What type of Democracy might you be speaking of? Surely, nothing resembling those so called Liberal Democracies [the world over] that truly don't engulf anything democratic whatsoever. These fanciful ideals that are bandied about and referenced to what a Democracy might be are quite amusing. Repeated over and again.

    The ASEAN body, like most other regional cooperative associations, exist in rhetorical namesake only. Just going through the motions as if they're striving to create a betterment for the broader commons.

    A trait that appears to be all too common amongst these particular forum tribes.

    Better chance that they'll allow a short time to pass, all the while forgotten by most everyone, and be secretly released. We tend to forget where the rot emanates. The systems, in general, are of this nature.

    Oh dear. You might want to brush up on your contemporary history.....and understand who was and who wasn't.

    ....and gangsters.

    .....and only applies to city and Farang Ghetto locales.
  22. zzaa09
    Yes of course, elected by the people. Indeed. ????

    Old traditions are almost impossible to rectify. There's always been an overwhelming military presence/influence throughout these institutions - can't get around it. A people's rebellion might resolve such long standing issues. ......or not.
  24. zzaa09
    Sounds true with the usual romantic visions......but it's not the way it is. Simple observations will suggest that a Thai political free-for-all isn't allowed to exist. It's incredibly restricted, as any and every sort of legitimate opposition will be dismissed [in one manner or another] by the firm hand of the ruling class.
  25. zzaa09
    All of which might be somewhat moot...whether he was a scoundrel or not - he didn't pursue coups to gain power. Any such clear charges and judgement of those principles that lead coup d'etats are never pursued, as they pull the strings. Kinda Thai tradition.
