I don't say anything to them , but if i felt inclined to , I would suggest that they run for mayor and change the law That comment sidesteps the discussion. People discuss laws all the time without having to become politicians first. Suggesting "run for office" is a rather odd way of looking at discussion. By that logic, nobody should ever question a law unless they're prepared to become a politician and change it themselves. Society doesn't work that way. Most people have careers, families and responsibilities that make entering politics unrealistic, yet they're still perfectly entitled to evaluate, support or criticise public policy. The entire purpose of public discussion is to exchange ideas, challenge assumptions and debate whether laws are sensible. If every criticism were met with "run for office" or "we don't have the rights to an opinion because we're not Thai"... we'd have to shut down every discussion forum, newspaper opinion page and political debate overnight.
