Were you as disgusted when the totalitarian leader of China was given a state visit too by the UK? And the Saudi King? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baerboxer Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 3 hours ago, Yann55 said: Earl Rodney, thank you. I'm glad someone says that, because I never cease to be amazed at how the West somehow feels entitled to patronize the rest of the world, especially its former colonies, which it raped and pillaged for centuries with the active support of Western religious authorities. Colonization was brutal, immoral, and based on greed, nothing else. It never factored in the slightest concern about human rights (and still doesn't, now that colonization has morphed from political to economical). The process ended up : 1/ creating the massive wealth on which the West now comfortably sits, pretending not to know where it comes from and how it was made, 2/ destroying - blatantly or subtly - most non-Western cultures, 3/ causing a social, economical and political imbalance on the planet which will eventually spell the doom and death of humanity. Much as I admire Voltaire's intelligence, I will never forgive him for having made most of his fortune on the infamous 'triangular trade'. A fact that not many people seem to know, and a mind-boggling paradox which highlights the problem. Did the West (apart from a few powerless individuals) ever truly care about human rights, other than on paper ? Do Western powers (both political and economical) respect human rights nowadays ? If the answer is no, or even 'no, not really' to both these questions, then whence on earth does it get the right to give any form of moral advice to other countries ? Well said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assange is solely responsible for backing himself into a very tight corner which a good many here are funding as taxpayers.

peterg40 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 It's disgusting that the leader of a Military Junta that seized power from an ELECTED GOVERNMENT should even be allowed to enter any Western Democracy, let alone meet their leaders. In doing so they are allowing them space on the International stage that they should never be permitted to have and encouraging them to believe that their deeds are acceptable.Waste of everybody’s time and money,as He listens to Nobody!!!Stubbornness replaces Thainess.Any excuse to delay the vote...early next year....Dream on....Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
