  1. the Japanese investing huge sums is not about influencing a countries policy on this scale, unlike the Chinese, who for 150 years have taken over as the dominant player of influence on this land,from the aryan cultures who came along with their language and subservient ways over the previous 2000 years.

     

    just have to look at Somkid and Prawit etc at their chinese origin, in fact you can pretty much say most chinese origin people with thai passports are 'intentional' landing lights for the chinese mothership

    Many TV posters were jumping with joy when , a few years ago , when they started clamping down on the tourist visa runners , those who stayed long term on tourist visas .

       Now the clampdowns are effecting them, they disapprove of the clampdowns

    Nope, i like mr. CP and the other chinese businessmen. Without them there wouldn't be any big companies in Thailand and no Makro, CP-shops and much more. We need more of them actually so they start pricefighting.

    you just enjoy your chinese temple at home, 7-11 was started by Japanese, the world can cope very well without naff chinese copies and naff copies of shops and services.

  4. revolution to end the

    junta-cpgroup-chinese state power grab, now thats whats really needed; chinese have been doing this here for 150 years and still playing the same game, democracy in Malaysia has exposed their modern game play, good on the Malaysians for breaking up the corrupt practices of their last leader and the chinese state. Thailand not a chance to be able to follow Malaysia, needs a revolution

    His points are clear:

    1) if you don't like it, move

    2) respect the culture

    3) play by the rules

     

    i understand that point of view dont really agree but, this is not about rules; this is about intimidation of 'all' foreigners in this building and beyond, its putting we aliens into a small

    act of the big play for 'their' audience. But in most countries, embassies would kick up a stink by seeing immigration do this to every room dwelled by foreigners. 

     

    Actually i am also pretty sure that for any search legally they need a warrant, but what you going to do, if you are alone in the room and the bell rings and theres a camera crew with 20 immigration officials; Tell them to eff off and get a warrant; Not a chance you going go along with it and hope it goes away smoothly

  6. repulsive; to have a search of every foreign person living in this building, regardless of the complaint, it stinks, and all these yellow shirt fanatics or just non-yellow folks will be reading this and going 'aarrg' now i know how to win against these aliens, geez, you would think the embassies would get involved and tell them this is way over the line; but no, these embassies nowadays just care about trade deals and selling land to malls.

    Remember this well-  I listened o the speakers and the tone of their comments was raucous; vulgar and playing to the base instincts of people.  However, eve when I was near a rally and had to pass by a mob- there was no animosity towards me as a individual and I never felt threatened.

     

    In Thailand- which is often xenophobic-  foreigners throughout the decades have often been portrayed as the bogeyman who is coming to steal the land and jobs.  It obfuscates the reality of what is actually going on.  

     

    To be fair- other countries often use foreigners as their straw-men to get the support of Nation list public's and votes.

    its a show, its their to play to the crowd, there are underlying messages too, from what they say and what they really mean to do. I found the messages on stage deeply racist along with the nationalist songs. I am sure many millions of other Thais found it offensive and vile too.As i walked around the area, no-one ever shouted or copied what they heard on stage at me. After all its a show. 

     

    the media frenzy on joker boy actions is another show to the same audience. Its not for our benefit or the benefit of rule of law as another poster mentioned

    Got a link? Searching for dinosaur generals only leads back to your old Thaivisa posts. And searching in Thai it links to websites about dinosaurs. 

     

    Anyhow it never seemed to be a central theme in the yellow shirt demands. Or a red shirt policy as the guy above you suggested. 

     

    A crackdown on nominees has been talked about every 5 years or so since I’ve lived here. Through civilian and military governments. And after a backlash from real estate developers, chambers of commerce, etc they backed down each time. It’s nothing new. 

     

    is this a joke? you cant google in Thai to see what

     was said at these rallies ,protests and marches. The thai press were quoting and laughing, calling them dinosaurs from the 1970's.

     

    Their quotes were also repeated in the suthep shutdown show

     

    these are highly racist protests, i lived near to one on aree at the inland revenue. Every night people on stage racist words against foreigners, against, against those that were. beneath them in their entitled minds.

     

    The quotes on the 5 year shutdown and foreigners out csme from the one day rally at the national stadium. 

     

    its a show not for our benefit but for those thousands and even 100's of thousands of protesters who were cheerng at the racist and singing along to the nationalist songs

     

    this is their audience for this show

    I left the USA because I was paranoid about black helicopters:shock1: and look what is happening now.:cheesy:

     

    funny for some, not so funny for other foreigners being guillotened by the racist middle-class, but heicopters, now you've just reminded me  of these dinosaur generals; ordering thousands of people to been thrown out of helicopters in burning oil drums,during the 1970's. dont know about black color but maybe a shade of green
