Popular Post webfact Posted November 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2021 By Erich Parpart Preserving our culture is more important than personal freedoms, the Thai Ministry of Culture said, in response to a push for the legalization of pornographic production and content within the country. “There might be examples from abroad that this can be done freely but the Ministry of Culture insists that people should preserve the good culture more than freedom,” said Itthiphol Khunpleum, the Minister of Culture, said on Wednesday. He said he disagreed with the proposed amendment of Section 287 of the Criminal Code, which bars the production and distribution of pornographic materials because it is not suitable for Thailand.

Popular Post mtls2005 Posted November 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2021 He probably could have found a better way to say this, even though most understand that "culture" here MUST be controlled. Those in control feel the populace is pretty much too stupid to know what's best for themselves. Thai Personal Freedoms has got to be one of the shortest books ever written. It's a cartoon book, showing bowing, wai-ing and prostrating. 22 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree Culture - bunch of backwards, outdated reasons to live in the Stone Age. Status Quo must be preserved - which abhors anything 'different' - deemed radical and subversive, because it is.

Popular Post Classic Ray Posted November 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2021 When temples appear to be more places of business than of worship, zoos, crocodile farms and snake farms care little for the welfare of the animals they display and schools seem to exist to enrich their owners rather than the minds of their students, I wonder what part of Thai culture the Minister thinks is worthy of protection? 10 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post riverhigh Posted November 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2021 I doubt this has much to do about preserving Thai culture but more to do with preserving the status quo. Granting freedoms to the masses could lead to loss of control from the his-so Thai elite who want to preserve their inherited status. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Henry Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 This man has no idea about the 20 and 21st century. You can maintain culture and have personal and community freedom. Dictatorial control changes culture to the needs and wants of those in power. Not fit for the job. Another square peg in a round hole like most government appointees. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your culture is evident in every seaside resort, or city locations: Walking street, Bangla road, Soi Cowboy, Nana, Patpong to name but a few. Everything you can see on "Only fans" is available for rent every night. Whats the difference between buying it on the street or watching it in the privacy of your own home? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
