It applies to many countries if not all in some forms? The U.S. is no better it is just done in a more sophisticated manner. A few years back I saw a survey Thailand was like 95 on the list of corruption which gets one thinking 95? it is so out front 95? Here is the big difference countries like U.K. U.S. one individual actually has the chance of fighting it themselves (grassroot) here Thais so custom beaten down it is embedded into their thinking as part of their lives. Here, the lack of education making them aware of what is actually going on outside of Thailand prevents them from knowing the are actually getting crumbs compare to the who is in charge and from what I've seen it doesn't matter who the formula is still the same to enrich themselves while giving the impression they actually care! You think the swamp in the U.S. or U.K. is bad, here it isn't a swamp but a shit hole of corruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanleycoin Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) 90% of Thai's, believe they are not corrupt themselves in anyway, what so ever. and it's only someone else, higher up the food chain to them, who is corrupt.

thrilled Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 It’s probably A much higher percentage than 47%.They probably don’t want to speak out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumbastheycome Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 So the majority who are ignored in this survey have no legitimacy ? Quoting the lesser percentage of the lesser percentage who have some variation in overall expectation does nothing to lessen the very obvious desired impact of this presented result. Typical negative crapola content on TVF ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Little P. is as corrupt, or perhaps far more corrupt that his predecessors. The amount of money being made at the top right now is staggering. Most people know that. I am sure that figure is fake. It is probably closer to 80%. Corruption could be dealt with. But, you have to start by arresting and convicting current members of the police, the army, the ministers, and the parliamentarians. Not former. Current. There is no interest in doing that, nor any will, nor any moral or ethical people at the top. Always remember one thing. Little P. was installed to protect the elite, the powerful, those that are connected, and those in office. Period. End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, no, out of that 53%, "32.54 percent of the respondents are not sure" . So only 15% are optimistic, or what you call "stupid." BTW, they've shown that highly educated and intelligent people are better at defending irrational biases against good evidence. So "stupid" is a bad description of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And record it on the phone and upload to youtube and inform some "social influencer" to make it go viral. Only way anything ever happens here is to youtube it. Of course, you'll be slapped with a defamation suit and relieved of any remaining baht. The country is hopeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
