Vespa Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 (edited) How many would like to see the floor drop out ? I was always taught to "Clap The Winner" when deserved. But I would not mind sitting back and watching all the wai giving ass kissers having to bob down and kiss it goodbye.

jumnien Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Absolutely not! Thailand is a wonderful country and the bulk of the people are lovely, hard-working, friendly people. Besides, it's my home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 (edited) I don't want them to fail. I don't want Thailand to become SINGAPORE either! I am kind of worried what will happen when you know what that we aren't allowed to talk about happens.

samran Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Thailand 'failing' will only affect those who can least afford to protect themselves, while those in power will continue to go on as is. What you want will take another 100 years to achieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 How many would like to see the floor drop out ? No, wouldn't that make me a small-minded person indeed? To wish failure on an entire nation and its people is petty to the nth degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endure Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Why would I want to the see the lives of 60 million people made a misery, especially when many of those people are hugely talented? I want to see it succeed and allow the talents of the Thai to shine through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexth Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 There is no way I would like to see them failing, but it seems they are going on the wrong way and very few thais realize it, let alone doing something about it. The truth is that they do need a lesson, but I'm afraid this one is too harsh and the consequences will be way too severe. About Thailand becoming a new Singapore, that I wouldn't mind, they could be better than Singapore, they have more resources, they're a bigger country, just try and see people more educated and the cities cleaner, less corruption and more hobest people, it would be a paradise, unfortunately this would be too good to be true...

Jingthing Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I think if many of us were really honest, we would admit we don't want them to succeed too much and too fast. How many of us would still be here if overnight Thailand had the cost levels of Japan or France? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ijustwannateach Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I'd like to see certain *individuals* get a big lesson, but things just don't work that way here. The people who pay are almost always innocent of the wrongdoing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiG16 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Im not sure I understand the purpose of this thread? what is the point of it? fail? in what way? to waht avail? for what purpose? Im truly baffled by this question..mainly why would anyone even think about wanting an entire nation to 'fail'? whatever you mean by that.... wouldnt even go further into ....oh nevermind.......

Acquiesce Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 What a stupid question, though reading the threads in the finance section it appears there are many here who would rather see Thailand crash and burn so they can get an extra B10 for the dollar than see Thailand and her people prosper. Personaly i think these people are lowlifes to live amongst the people and claim they like them and the country but secretly (or openly on the www) wanting the country to colapse. SCUM.

alexth Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 apples and oranges ,Bangkok and the South are way overpriced already Sad but indeed, true. I'd like to see certain *individuals* get a big lesson, but things just don't work that way here. The people who pay are almost always innocent of the wrongdoing. Spot on. Apparently those individuals turned into vicious animals and yes, the people who pay are always, no matter where on the world, the innocent ones. History showed us that changes were always paid for by the people who would not be there to see the better future or worst, a worst one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To overcome the hardship, watch double pricing magically turn into quadruple pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberstar Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 All of my income comes in the shape of Baht - and all of my expenses are paid in Baht ... I'm not sure: What does "Thailand fails" actually mean? Does it mean that foreigners (90% of my customers) can't afford to come here? Does it mean that Thailand's export will go down into the drain? What the heck does OP mean, really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonthaya Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 (edited) No I don't want to see that, I love Thailand and its friendly people. Edited January 28, 2007 by sonthaya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmart Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 No. Not at all. But Thailand seems determined to repeat past mistakes and never seems to have the will for change; or the political will to take some stiff medicine. I love this country and the people, but sadly and selfishly I feel that if a lot of things I don't like about this country changed radically overnight, then all the things I like about here would be gone too.

Ulysses G. Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I already saw Thailand "fail" in 1997 and no one learned a thing. I wouldn't wish it on them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
