Hyperbole of the reds- a million reds will come to Bangkok.
We will kill Apisit with a car bomb.
The vitriol spewed out day to day by the community radio stations of ' Klum Rak Chiang Mai' is a disgrace to any thinking person.
That explains why he already has 10 separate charges against this guy. Long past due to pull the plug on these types.
If he thinks it's ok threatening to murder someone and then just attempt to play it off as some sort of joke, he should try pulling that stunt on an airplane and see what happens, eg. "I'm going to kill the pilot."

Hun Sen is still a wiley old goat...
Indeed, it's not been easy to postpone trials for his murderous Khmer Rouge brethren for so long
30 Years After Fall of the Khmer Rouge, Justice Still Elusive
(New York, January 5, 2009) - Thirty years after the fall of the Khmer Rouge, Cambodia's culture of impunity remains as strong as ever, Human Rights Watch said today. Under Prime Minister Hun Sen, the Cambodian government continues to obstruct the United Nations-supported court created to try senior Khmer Rouge leaders and others most responsible for the deaths of up to 2 million people during the Khmer Rouge-era.

^ Drunk posting doesn't add much to the discussion.
My point being, for those not sober enough to recognize it, is that even if quality of the local formal print media is lacking, the reader knows who the author is.
For all anyone knows, thailandjumpedtheshark is Noppadon and *ink is Jakrapob. Would that be information worthwhile knowing when considering what they are blogging?

Any further news that is on-topic for this thread?

Who exactly is: thailandjumpedtheshark ?
Which not knowing is part of the hazards of posting blog entries. It's an unclear anonymity that the news from the general media doesn't have. That makes it open to all sorts of unknown biases and agendas.
Am I to presume nobody knows who exactly is thailandjumpedtheshark?
Strange-looking link but worth a read as part of the background to understanding the case - for those who can be bothered to do their own research as opposed to simply swallowing the pre-digested script.http://neworangecafe.org/index.php?option=...1:top-headlines
Who exactly is the author of this blog: *ink ?
Thailand Jumped The Shark, New Mandala and the excellent Bangkok Pundit are way more informative than The Nation when it comes to anything political in Thailand. The Nation has been caught out many times rewriting history to suit it's master's views.Who exactly is Bangkok Pundit?
But I do notice that Thailand Jumped The Shark, Orange Cafe, Bangkok Post (referenced in another post above), New Mandala, and Bangkok Pundit all have their own version of a forum so perhaps we should move the discussion to these other forums or at least discuss the frailties of these other forums on this forum?

Also, can we post links to another forum? (a blogger's comments' box is essentially a forum)

Additional time line related to royal decorations:
August 2005: Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's PM Office decree gives eight criteria for the recalling of royal decorations, including if a person is convicted by the highest court and ordered to serve time in prison.
October 2008: Thaksin's brother-in-law Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat's Government Spokesman (and current Red Shirt Leader) Natthawut Saikua announces that ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra will likely agree to return all of his royal decorations if required to by law. If Thaksin does not seek a retrial within 30 days (he didn't), the PM's Office must seek royal approval to demand the royal decorations be returned (the then-government did not).
And now 13 months after not living up to his pledge to return the decorations voluntarily, action to do so involuntarily is progressing.

Awesome!
Any particular reason you seem compelled to repeat this word in every post you make?
If you are trying to be sarcastic, fine, but could you at least vary it up a bit.
ohh, i talked with an other member about the etymological origin of a certain britisch english word. he said it's norse, my position was it is more likley that the norse word in question is just a Cognate.
i wrote also a more abstrac entry and to demonstrate cultural difference in historiography and histories of histories i worte a little bit about the history of historical linguistics studies and the use of different term for the same thing. indo-european languages vs. indo-germanic languages and so on.
but than came the '76 peacecorps and declared everything for BS. after this i just let a tumbleweed roll through the intellectual defoliated steppe.
in an other case i stumbled across the following line: Thai culture and civilization are utterly incapable of producing ... an Obama. posted by a board member.
my reply using the word hubris got deleted. okay hubris is of greek origin an not british english. i ask members of the super team for an advice and what what would be the appropriate choice of words for a reply and their answer was somewhat Zen, oracularly and quickly.
i conclude i should rely more on the optimistic branch of Bokononism.
and i think awesome is a good choice. it has something rabelaisian in it, almost. it is a fell good message. it is awesome. it is also US-american. and the US-american viewpoint, attitude is never wrong at this webforum. the risk of a delete for whatever reason is less.it will be never off topic. if i write more than 3 lines the risk that it goes off-topic is much higher.
so what is your problem with that? other forum characters spend their whole time with posting repetitive and redundant comments since years. 4,5,6 sometimes words and a smiley. knee-jerk reactions. unamusing. the usual.
i still offer a mixture in the style of my comments. that Abhisit is awesome is the mainstream opinion here, so i cheer a lot of people up.

Back in my country - we call them volunteers who assist the community in a very positive way.
Just how many Thai nationals are there on the UK police volunteer force where you live?

Member Of Parliament Assaulted At Parliament By Opponent
in Thailand News
Posted
Hoping for a bit of clarification. Another paper says that we was convicted on the charge of assault. It would be amazing that the maximum penalty for such a conviction is only 30 days in jail, but I suppose anything is possible in Amazing Thailand. Is the penal code really that light on assault?
It also pointed out that in court the convict refused to apologize for the attack and furthermore he stated that his actions were intentional.
While it appears that this is his first actual conviction, given his checkered past, as highlighted earlier, it seems incredulous that this person will remain as a Member of Parliament.
I also guess nothing developed further from his earlier troubles justifying the degree he received from a diploma mill in the Philippines.
