thesetat2013 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Why is it that every news story about the current situation with politics in thailand have been closed for members. Personally i think we should have our say as long as we don't violate any rules enforced by the current ruler. These news stories have been disturbing to say the least. TV should permit some discussion about the moral and ethical misgivings that are occuring with these new announcements as well as any positive views on them. Does anyone else feel this way also? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksidedog Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Firstly, I have to disagree that all stories about politics have been closed, as they have not. There is one very sensitive subject floating around right now and due to the lese majeste laws in Thailand, discussion of such is not allowed. If we allow members to discuss that, the chances are that next week there wont be a forum. I foresee that the politicians themselves are going to have some serious problems in the coming weeks, and friend Prayut is probably having kittens over the matter. All of his underhand plotting seems likely to come to nothing. We welcome discussion on a very wide range of topics and allow a lot of leeway on some stories, which are close to the mark, such as those that involve prostitution, another sensitive subject. The monarchy though, is above discussion, something that members really have no option other than to keep quiet about. Them is the rules I am afraid. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lacessit Posted February 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2019 Not really. Thai politics is for the Thais to work out for themselves. I don't have any vote or say, so it's none of my business. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lungstib Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Newspapers and TV stations in Thailand have my sympathy. The glaring deficiencies of a very immature Thai political system have become very obvious with the new shock entry into the election. The very subject every wants to talk about has been mixed with the one thing its prohibited to talk about. Its worse than dealing with children. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
