Tommy Robinson) fairly quickly, or if you're a foreigner, banned from entering or transiting the country life (eg. Roosh V). Hell you guys kept Michael Savage out. Not that he is worth listening to mind you, but its the principle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkidlad Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Just now, Nyezhov said: Its like in Starship Troopers: To fight the bug, you must understand the bug. You have a Thai missus? Do you understand her? Not just what she says, but her weltanshauung? Be honest dude, every person I have ever met who has a long term Thai gf or wife sometimes looks at her and just says...wow, dude, you got wierd stuff in your brain. Even when you speak the language, you dont think like they do. Culturally and politically to us, they are on a different planet. I've been with my missus for nearly 13 years. I know what she's like as she does me. Please don't ask condescending questions like, "Do you understand her?". Oh, and she's a human being before all else. I got into a relationship with her based off the content of her character. I don't put her on a culture pedestal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was born into a unique to the world country where spirits rule and where political traditions and religious myths are fused. Im an American. My view of life is towards the West and with the liberal tradition embodied in American democracy. You are obviously a westerner. Thats where your view of life comes from. When you join a community alien to yours, over the years you may learn it, but you will never truly understand it, because we are all the product of our earliest memories and thought and the ones in your wifes head were far far different that yours. Dont get insulted dude. I was married to a japanese gal for many years and every day she said or did something that made me say..wow.

What about conflict with other law, custom, legislation? Can the Thai government control ANY speech under that clause? What are the limits? What is that limit based on? Can I burn a Thai flag? Can I wear Nazi symbols? Can I burn an American flag? Can the news papers print anyhting? What about defamation laws, how do they fit it? Can you wear your underwear on your head and walk around in a public place. You can claimed freedom of expression and the Courts rules and principles will determine. There are enough provisions in the constitution that were plotted by the junta government to express and interpret by the courts. Which way they will based their court decision, follow the dots.

They were on sale last week for like 7500 a kilo or something like that, it didnt matter, so I grabbed 2 kilos to stuff my face. Yum. Id ride over there today but the driver took the day off.

JemJem Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) Where does Thaksin and his supporters stand in all this ? I mean, of course, they are very much anti-Prayut but are they pro-Thanatorn and actually would want him as the PM ? What are the ties (if any) between Thaksin and Thanatorn ? I am sceptical about rich businessmen entering politics. What if Thanatorn becomes another Thaksin if he becomes the PM ?! Having said that, I cannot say I am a big fan of Prayut.
