‘How would you feel if we both got caught speeding. You were doing 35 in a 30 and I was doing 135. I was allowed to drive off (with no insurance or license) punishment free, and you were jailed. Would you put your hands up and say, “well, I was careless there. You got me”. Or would you rightfully be screaming bloody murder?‘ 

 

This the the question I asked you ????, and this is the answer you gave ????
 

 
“I would be ok with me being punished, i guess that is the difference between you and me. When i break the law I dont look at others doing the same. I only look at my own situation if i broke the law or not if i did.. then sure i take my punishment. It might be unfair that the other party got away but that has nothing to do with me. I should not have gone to fast”
 
The punishment in this hypothetical question is jail time. It’s really not that hard to understand. 
 
But great reply. Clearly you’re reading and understanding my words. 

You came up with some fictitious thing, i just assumed normal punishment. But you and I are different you believe laws should not be applied if others get away with it I dont. I believe in either changing the law or going for equal appliance of the law.  You just want chaos.

 

I told you before I don't agree with this law or them prosecuting him. But the law is the law and he broke it and now they can punish him. He should have prevented this by being smarter. I find it disappointing he lets himself get caught this easy. Its what those in power always do so its not something new. Why the .... did he not think of this. The guy is a great chance to clean up politics.

  • Did he transfer these meaningless shares in time or didn’t he? We must know. We can’t have a man who may, or may not, have transferred shares late. Even if it was minutes late. Parliament’s integrity

  • Go get them Thanathorn, I hope you kick ass!!!!????

  • It doesn’t give them a ‘legal’ way to destroy him, it gives them an excuse. They can do whatever they like. They’ve proven that again and again. Don’t apply logic or the rule of law here. Might is rig

Transferring a media corp shares to own mother... Are there many things which could me more dubious in terms of politician's integrity?

I came up with a hypothetical question based off one person being harshly punished for a misdemeanor while another person gets off Scott free for something much much more serious. Late media shares vs fake degrees and heroin smuggling. 
 

The English language isn’t always literal. We use analogies (David and Goliath is a popular one and they’re fictional characters) and we often use hypothesis. 
 

I don’t believe laws should be ignored for some because they’re ignored for others. I never once said that. I said ‘misdemeanors’ should sometimes be ignored and Thanatorn’s one was a perfect example. There’s even more reason to ignore misdemeanors when others have been let off with sins that are far worse. Judicial precedents are often set when sentencing too strongly or too lightly. That should apply to everyone. 
 

When the laws only apply to certain people, you have a lawless society. That isn’t the ‘spirit’ in which laws are used. Laws are used to deter ‘everyone’ from breaking them. Which goes all the way back to my original point. They aren’t using the laws or rules to go after him, because those same rules and laws don’t apply to them. They’re making up a reason to get rid of him. And that is not only completely unfair, it’s completely illegal.

20+ million-baht watches, fake phd’s, heroin-smuggling convictions, oaths that are intentionally incomplete, etc. 

 

Just off the top of my head. 

I Leave thai politics to the thai's, they have their own kind of logic : )

Thanatorn about as clean a politician you going get, least he not a heroin smuggled, happy disclose his wealth and not telling pork pies over a watch collection and didn't need change election calculation formulas to cheat results in his favour .

unfortunately thanathorn is being targeted by whatever dirt they can get stick and it pretty much guaranteed he will face a political ban over this and if does not (highly unlikely) they got plenty more cases in the pipe line .

He the only real opposition to Buck Banana & General Rolex and they 100% dedicated to military/elite rule at all costs .

 

This current military/elite rule will set country back decades, another 5-10yrs of this will be devastating for average thais through upcoming world trade decline and recession

Thailand will never recover. Burma, Spain, Greece are still suffering the consequences of a f----t military j___a long after they got deposed.  The political abuse will echo through the generations.
