Chicken or egg?

They could start by cutting out the violence on television pre watershed times, some of the violence shown is just ridiculous.

This from the same govt that stopped recruiting women into the police force? Thats rich, isn't it?

They would not even be ashamed to celebrate and declare November 25th as the day Thais invented drinking water.

Good start would be speaking out about the incessant violence against women in Thai soaps.

How about teaching people to control their emotions, respecting others plus their decisions and instilling a concept of what's right and wrong in the young or people in general, instead of blaming outside things like alcohol and such like which is a poor excuse for having no-self control. Pfft!
