Nicolaides Freed From Thai Prison

[jdinasia]

LOL

a "violation of Human Rights"

You know something is a crime, you break the law. You go to jail.

But you are correct for once on one thing ... it was a three year sentence that he only had to serve one month of prior to his release.

If only this logic was applied to traffic violations... and pub fires...

Thankfully, laws are always enforced in a consistent manner...

It's as if some people believe printed expressions deserve no jail time at all...

You he served only 1 month in prison... he served 4 or 5 months before his trial, no?

No

He didn't serve any sentence before he was convicted (though after a conviction they often apply time in detention as 'time served')

The guy was a flight risk on trial for a serious crime (here). You aren't complaining that some people don't get caught or get released or acquitted are you?

[jdinasia]

a country where most of the population is involved in more serious illegal activities than expressing themselves in a book.

Where MOST of the population is involved in more serious illegal activities ....... There's the hyperbole' of the week! and it is only Sunday!

But please SFB --- tell us what MOST of the population is doing that is worse than L.M.

Why was he a flight risk?

How could he have left the country if his passport was kept by the authorities?

Please explain why murderers, child molesters, those involved in massive corruption (such as Thaksin) are allowed bail and even allowed to leave the country while on bail.

It's hypocritical in the extreme, and you defending the inexcusable actions of the Thai authorities in this matter makes you a hypocrite too.

[animatic]

Sedition and active insurection,

like directing a miltia or private army to destabilize a country

through use of text, deserve jail time.

Hey wait isn't THAT what Thaksin is trying to do now... CRIKEY!

Maybe he should write a book for the red shirts!

Then they can lock him up a LONG time.

This poor aussie bloke was a victum of the times,

most other years they would have just kicked the book out.

And made points for that, but this is social upheaval time...

Jail for writers of ideas. That's why Kuhn Giles did a runner.

Regardless is certain persons feel no one should be above critique.

Others use the arcane laws for political machinations,

and yes, also hide in the wings and watch their pawns twist in the wind.

And they call this making face...

Sure.

Prostitution, tax avoidance, corruption, counterfeiting, accepting bribes and under the table payments, road traffic offences, drug use, drug dealing, violence, drunk and disorderly behaviour, etc, etc, etc.

All worse offences than writing a paragraph in a book and all done by most of the population at one time or another.

Are they worse offences than LM under Thai law?

SFB is now accusing more than 50% (constitutes MOST) of all Thais as being criminals. I think that may be a violation of the rules, but let's pretend it isn't. Since SFB has stated that all Thais are prostitutes "at one time or another" I would like for him to tell us more about his impressions of Thai people. (yes it shows that he has had little or no contact with many average Thais at all)

BTW SFB .. where are you? Iceland?

[SmugFarangBore]

No I wasn't. I said most have broken the law at one time or another.

Big difference.

I think that may be a violation of the rules, but let's pretend it isn't.

That comment goes some way to explaining your view on this matter.

I suppose you also agree with websites to report people and a 'war room' to monitor and deal with offenders in cyberspace too?

Since SFB has stated that all Thais are prostitutes "at one time or another" I would like for him to tell us more about his impressions of Thai people. (yes it shows that he has had little or no contact with many average Thais at all)

Not going to even bother dignifying that nonsense with a response.

No doubt many of the foreigners that come here and get on their high horse about the predicaments of others are themselves engaged in illegal activities in one way or another.

The seriousness of the laws broken is immaterial.

However the hypocrisy is there for all to see.

...try using a couple of grams of empathy & you will soon see where he's coming from...

Couple of grams? Not enough, mate...

LOL. what does it take to get a little empathy around here ? 100 lashes , 30 years behind bars plus daily chinese water torture treatment ?

[SmugFarangBore]

I see factual posts are being deleted so pointless continuing the discussion.

Adiós.

[SmugFarangBore]

hmm since SFB under this name can't abide by the rules ... I foresee him going away very soon!

Those are the facts, nothing more.

The additional fact that they have rubbished your entire argument a mere bonus.

Adiós.

1) No, you are attributing things to people that they have never said, as well as attributing meanings to actions that have never been explained.

2) You are breaking the rules and know it, but with that many extra screennames it just doesn't matter to you what happens to some of them.

3) Your pushing the agenda to make most Thais criminals is deplorable.

I wouldn't keep making those type of accusations to "score points".

First you can't prove it.

Secondly every time you bring it up, you imply the moderators are not doing their job properly.

As this topic is going "out of Hand" and to "nowhere" I'll close this topic.
