And now, you are beginning to sound a bit like Jumpin' Jack Flash.....

 

 

Good one, GG.  My use of 'gas' was actually inspired by the intro to Humble Pie's last number, I Don't Need No Doctor, from their May '71 gig at the Fillmore East, a month before it closed.  Off of their classic double LP, Performance - Rockin’ The Fillmore, their first live album.

 

The late great Steve Marriott:  "We, ah, go 'ome on Monday but I wanna tell ya, we all really had a gas this time.  It's really been a gas."

 

One of the best live performances of the early 70's from a superb band featuring legends Marriott and Frampton.  This was Frampton's last album with Humble Pie before departing on his solo career.

 

Steve Marriott – Lead vocals, lead & rhythm guitars & harmonica

Peter Frampton – Lead & rhythm guitars & background vocals, co-lead vocals on “Four Day Creep,” “I’m Ready” & “I Walk on Gilded Splinters”

Greg Ridley – Bass & background vocals

Jerry Shirley – Drums

Some things will never change, Thaiger or no Thaiger, pointless drivel remains pointless drivel.

Well said!

In any case, now that AN is part of Thaiger I invite anyone interested in free speech to check out ThaigerTalk.  Those who prefer an echo chamber can remain here.  There's a satisfying option now for everyone.  We welcome debate of any kind at ThaigerTalk.  No one is excluded.  Debates revolve around the merits of a viewpoint, not on what a select few deem for others to be acceptable or not.

 

Also, you are free to use whatever sources are out there.  There's no Ministry of Truth to pre-determine that.  It's up to each of us to suss out truth from fiction.  And we're all quite capable of doing that.

The benefit of free speech is that the truth doesn't get suppressed.  Those who value truth over beliefs will find it refreshing.

Some seem to find humour in that.  I suspect they'll toss the invitation.  No problem.  As I said, there's now a forum to suit everyone.

And it is not an either/or choice.  The current AN Forum has its merits and strong points, reason that I am a contributing member to both Fora.  But open and honest debate on controversial subjects, allowing all points of view is not one of them.

Freedom of Speech comes at a very high cost.

Many have shed blood to win the refreshing freedom of speech.

73 baht is cheap, by comparison.

Currently there are quite a number of misconceptions regarding freedom of speech.  Hence the heated debate over it.  To put it simply, there are those who understand it quite well and those who do not.  Those who understand it are pro-free speech.  Those who do not are pro-censorship.  It's a subject that seriously needs to be addressed, in my opinion.  I'm willing to have an honest discussion and help dispel the misconceptions.

Some things are worth fighting for.  Not to suggest that blood needs to be spilled.  But who's willing to admit they're afraid of heated debate?  All chickens raise your feet.  Careful, now.  My wife might make quick work and chop 'em off for her next batch of kanom jeen.

No worries, my friend.

 

You are entirely correct that Free Speech is more important than anything else.

 

However, here is not the place, or is any forum the place, to fight and die for free speech.

 

The UK does not have free speech, for example...and...so...

Why not go there an fight for it.

Yes.

And, I am lucky.

Few people follow me so closely as he, I think.

 

(Of Course:  If he is the follower...then....Logically.... I must be the leader.  I just hope he is aware of this relationship.)

 

 

 

Just had a look the 'controversial' Thai music thread on TT, er because it was in Thai is still locked! so much for free speech. Not worth supporting.

At least for me, there is nothing worth dying for.  Fighting does not automatically imply violence.  Fighting may not be the best term then.  Perhaps aggression is more apt.  The same aggression which brings a newborn baby out of it's mother's womb and into the world.  Aggression in that sense being a strong impetus towards experiencing life.

 

There are any numbers of countries which do not have free speech.  I wouldn't think of placing upon my shoulders the burden of saving the world from itself.  Not my job.  I prefer to put out what I have and let people choose for themselves what they will do with it.  Fair enough?
