Actually, he's protecting the US from an invasion of unarmed but military aged males.

Contrary to what the mad fake master proclaims, the crime rate among illegals in the US is far lower than the crime rate among American citizens. He is just drumming up his base, with more nonsense and racist hyperbole. 

This has nothing whatsoever, to do with national security. The people know that. Only the army is silly enough, goonish enough, or ignorant enough to attempt to play that heavy handed hand. The army is afraid. They are very afraid. They are seeing the little bit of support they had slip away, and are about to lose a very lucrative franchise. This is all about money and power. 

Finally, the people are talking. Finally, we are seeing some pushback. It is making the very small men really uncomfortable. 

Get out. Get out now. You are not wanted. You are not liked, and you are most definitely not needed. 

It is the way the Chinese government does business. Boeing signed a contract with them years ago, that turns over most of their technology to the Chinese within a specific period of time. It was do that, or not get the huge contract. You cannot just lecture a nation, and expect it to change. This coming from a nation led by one of the biggest goons of the past century. China is bending alot of rules. But, is this how you get them to change? Is this how you negotiate with them? Let us never forget. Trump is not much of a negotiator. He negotiated five companies out of business. He left behind billions of dollars in debt. Who paid for that debt? Not him. When it really comes down to it, Trump cannot negotiate his way out of a paper bag.

One has to just laugh at how the obsession with PC has weakened the US. It is quite pathetic. Nearly everyone is offended by something.

I say get a life. Grow some thicker skin. Stop being such crybabies. 

Megyn is laughing all the way to the bank. Who cares? This is such a petty issue. 

Suthep is just another has been, hack politician who is tone deaf and totally out of step with the youth and the population. He would be the worst sort of man for the leadership job. What he says at This point, means less than zero. 

That video is anything but abominable. Suthep is abominable on every level. That video said what needed to be said. Truth hurts sometimes. But truth is truth despite what some cretons say.

When one reads the comments on this site one might think, I should rather say one must be convinced that all the vast majority of Thais, with the exception of elites, of course, are all against Prayut.
However in Issan, to be specific in Poen Charoen, some people of my wife's family, peasants to be specific, told me now corrupt officials or police officers take care much more than before. In Thaksin/Yingluck's time, the reds were the law in the village and those who did not openly agreed with them put themselves in danger. So I asked the question, so you feel freer today?  More free we do not know but at least they leave us alone. This is not a personal opinion I just say what I've heard because reading TV I feel like I am the only expat who has heard such a speech?

Except for the elites? Little P. was installed to protect the elite, the super rich, the well connected and those in power. That is all he has done for four years. Why would the elite not be thrilled with that?

There are alot of people who are sick and tired of rhr current regime. Alot. Most I speak with dislike them.

The issue is that there is a tremendous lack of opposition talent out there. Where are the next leaders of Thailand? And I am not referring to Abhisit. He had his shot and brought nothing to the table. Nothing. 

Petty men hiding behind a uniform and robbing the nation blind. Then preaching about their own nobility and largesse. Very phony stuff. Very unconvincing.

The youth seem to see right through the charade. Hope this is the start of some progress and change. The country desperately needs it. 

It seems like he was a really decent guy, well liked by his players and unlike many other super rich Thais  on alot of levels. Quite tragic. Perhaps Thailand lost one of its only benevolent and noble billionaires. 

These are young Thai heroes expressing what so many of us feel. 

“I want to warn musicians to not do anything that risks violating the country’s laws, as it will not be good for them or their families if the songs are found to be violating the law,” Srivara warned. However, the artists said they were just exercising their freedom of expression. 

What these power hungry simpletons are saying is: "like us please. You must like us. Approve of us. Do not say anything bad about us. We don't like to be criticized. We cannot handle it. We are delicate and must be coddled".

Not happening. We will complain. You have earned that. You deserve that. 

Get out. Get out now. You are not wanted. The lies you created about the reason for being in power are long past. Now, it is only about greed and thirst for power. Ugly men with bad intentions. 

The junta are weak, tone deaf, power hungry greed mongers. No morality. No ethics. No desire to improve the lives of the Thai common people, who they despise. The people are simply showing their lack of affection and respect for the worms. 

Get out. Get out now. You are not liked, wanted or respected. 

The very small men in charge are exceptionally thin skinned, have low self esteem, little self love, and like someone on the other side of the larger pond, hate being criticized, and want everyone to love them. Arresting this group would show them to be the despotic creeps that they really are.

Bill was a total nerd in school. Now , it's pay back time for him. He is not the kind of person one should follow. Why does he want to lower the population by billions? More important, when and how?

How does one even respond to such a post? Why do some people on this forum put less than three seconds of thought into their posts? Others are very well thought out, and by comparison, a post like this one seems inane, total babble, and devoid of content. Gates is not trying to lower the world's population. He is attempting to control it, and anyone who has devoted any time at all into this topic, knows how devastating the results of population growth is for the planet. 

If you do not want to follow him, don't. But, do not recommend to the rest of us what to do, when you are so exceptionally clueless about the issues. Gates has done a great deal to improve mankind, and his foundation continues to spend billions. 

Mechai is a hero to many, in a nation that has few true heroes, and is doing great work. Gates was absolutely spot on to praise this great and generous soul.

And what does being a nerd in school have to do with anything?

An absolute slaughter is about to take place on November 6th. The GOP just does not realize how angry, disenfranchised, disappointed, and annoyed millions are, over the absolute fool in the White House. Plus, you have nitwits like Chuck Grassley, who are mimicking Trump style bullying, and being tone deaf to the ramifications of their actions. Just wait. Give it another week or so. Trump will be the lame duck that he deserves to be. And most of the world will celebrate this.
