cleverman Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Prayut prayers spare Thailand from Pabuk. This news item bought out the Thai bashers. The US President, the UK Prime Minister and their Queen have on many occasions have said they are praying for something or other. They are praying to their God hoping he,or she, will answer their prayers. The Thai Prime Minister does the same and is called fool. It's no wonder us expats are arnt wanted here.

Spidey Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 He was called a fool because he claimed that it was because of his prayers alone that the storm avoided most places. Never misses an opportunity to take the credit. Personally I think the fools are the ones that give him any credence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacessit Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I agree with you. US Presidents, after every mass shooting, say their thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. Prayut prays Thailand is spared from Prabuk. The difference is Prayut can't do much about a tropical storm. US Presidents could certainly do something about mass shootings.

nikmar Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 It was as foolish a statement as Bush's "God wanted me to be President". Do you give much credence to such statements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardColeman Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Daft post (politely phrased) - I cannot remember a time our dear old queen (royalist or not) went on the telly to say it was down to her that the UK had avoided the worst of anything because she had prayed to God!

Before you critise, understand what it is your talking about. Where did I say that the Queen said her prayers were answered ? I'm Cleverman, I can always back up what I write.

Prayut declaring that his prayers spared Thailand from the wrath of Pabuk suggest that he has a direct line to the divine, and in fact a little god-like himself.

aussie11950 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Haha. The diference is, he said he stopped it by praying. No other leader said their prayers worked. They had said they will pray only, but didn't say theirs worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadbury Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Thai bashing you would call it. It is NOT Thai bashing at all. It is openly and clearly a case of Prayut bashing resulting from his bumptious outburst of how he limited the damage of the storm. Calling your post More Thai Bashing is an insult to Prayut bashers and an insult to the Thai people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pray to St. Anthony, daily. Living in Pattaya is worse than living in Sodom or Gomorrah, I eat like a pig, drink JD to excess and have sodomised more women than I care to count. Oh, Lord will you save me? (but not this weekend as the wife's away and I'll be doing more Sodom and Gomorrah-ing than you can shake a stick at).
