It will not end well... I wrote it already and I did not change idea.

Dissent is mounting, and they WON'T leave the power.

Indeed. The locals from all walks of life and the missus reckon no way will there be an election in 2018.

Something extraordinary or out of the ordinary needs to happen, otherwise they doubt there will be one in 2019...

Ordinary folks are hurting financially, they are getting more and more pissed off, and sooner or later it's gonna boil over.

errrm your clearly not being silenced.

I want you to "piss off" to give your kid a real shot at life.

think about it. your under an oppressive regime, you have family to put first. what a golden opportunity you have right now. I just don't understand why you don't put them first.. non I my business but I still find it greedy on your part.

Give it a rest will ya, you troll.

Stop insulting a man and his family. They live here, they are happy. End of. Got nothing to do with politics or the current shambles of a govt why he, or anyone of us continues to wish to live here. With our wives. With our children.

 Left Pattaya and found your "Buffalo Scrubber" yet? Your disrespectful words, not mine...

Odd, I had someone post that his family, friends, business associates et al  all approve of the Prayuth government.

 

I presume he meant both of them.

Indeed. In fact, I'm pretty sure they're busy reporting all the posters critical of the junta to the authorities. There are names for just such individuals but due to forum rules......

I think  Prayut is so so so Great. I want to sleep near him and cuddle the man. :-)

It gives a first taste of how free next elections will be (in case there will be any)

Nothing builds confidence in leadership like a statement telling everyone they can't have an opinion. Yep, this government is doing a wonderful job. We should all sleep well at night knowing they are doing all of our thinking for us.

I would like them to clamp down on the Bangkok Posts non stop snide sniping at whatever the government do, I think their advertisers dictate their opinions.

I doubt we will fall under their watchful eyes, but who knows? As others demonstrated, use the devices they just don't get: sarcasm and irony. Possibility they will add volunteer thought police for expats who want a spiffy uniform and false feeling of importance to flag those expats who dare speak their minds

most of the relentless over the top junta bashers are not in Thailand but Cambodia and OS.

It's the dummy TV sheep living inside thailand borders and bashing that are at risk.

Why any foreigner living here would attack its military regime is a mystery. I guess the prospect of being a martyr must be appealing

I'm here in Thailand. Want my address?  "Why any foreigner living here would attack its military regime is a mystery."  Is that a serious comment?

gonna be hard on your daughter if you're deported. and why are you even here? surely the best future for your daughters education is NOT in Thailand

By not speaking up he would be potentially sabotaging his daughter's future as is everyone (Thai or otherwise) by leaving the country's future in the hands of a gang of corrupt morons.

dude you have a daughter! you don't want a better future for her? or does baboon come first.

I think you're "conscience" needs a spring clean

The reason he said what he did is precisely because he does want a better future for her. I'm surprised that is lost even on you.

how about you? you clearly despise your life here under the regime and use your daughter as a crutch to support your conscience but you you choose to stay subjecting her to an uncertain future.

 

take your family back home. your kid is relying on you

wow we are polar opposites. I would make it my top priority to give my child the best shot at a better life.

 

why introduce your concerns about your daughter under the junta if you have no intention of doing anything about it

 

I guess you just enjoy the cruisy life here to much to bother with that little detail.

 

Enjoy

 

So by better life, you mean living in a society where speech is a crime?

stick to the facts!

 

I expressed my concern about foreigners bashing a military regime that is seriously looking for bashers.

 

and for that warning I get bashed myself

 

my concern is the dummies within the borders that follow the ring leaders from OS who are immune to prosecution.

 

show me one post where I supported this new crack down. Did you finish primary school your comprehension skills are terrible!

 

Now go back and READ from the beggining not just the last post grasshopper

 

 

 

 

 

Total back-tracking!... busted!

You reminded me of this passage from Orwell's Animal Farm:

"... You would often hear one hen remark to another, "Under the guidance of our Leader, Comrade Napoleon, I have laid five eggs in six days"; or two cows, enjoying a drink at the pool, would exclaim, "Thanks to the leadership of Comrade Napoleon, how excellent this water tastes! ..."

Of course, it didn't end well.

Did I already read this like 6 months ago?

 

But why even worry about critics? Everything is being done perfect, so those "critics" are simply lying, which isn't against the law. Yet.

Quite right. If lying were against the law, Prayut and Prawit would be serving life.... if, of course, it weren't for the amnesty.

grow up and learn to read dummy.

 

I quoted his post... Yeah the father of the year who is so entranced by his cruisy lifestyle that his poor girl is going to be stuck in a third world education system, no surprises at the outcome of that

 

I find your lack of comprehension offensive.

 

how about an apology?.. nah didn't think so

You are out of order and crossed a line telling a fellow member what do with regards to his family. You find someone's "lack of comprehension offensive"?  What a silly pronouncement.  In fact it is you that is very offensive. "Grow up and learn to read dummy"?  I What are you, 12?
