They are the brain dead ones because they don't give a sh*t, they are fed with a silver spoon and have a totally reprehensible western attitude!! They cant even speak english for f*cks sake and the fees are 1 million baht per year(harrow). The kids from the countryside/poor families are so artistic and full of endeavour its unbelievable.

Therefore my point is that the rich/poor divide needs to be reduced to enable the real thai children to flourish and release their inner spirit & talent; for they are so talented and so overlooked! jc You are a teacher and that is how you talk and type? "don't give a sh*t" "They cant even speak English for f*cks sake" Pretty confident that is why they do not listen to you You give farangs a bad name ...

Sisaketmike Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Well done Abhisit the Reds will hate you even more now That's right. The dems are censoring the press in exactly the same way that their yellow mentors used to accuse Thaksin of doing. Such hypocrisy will only make the situation worse. The yellow shirts never declared war though. See the difference? Even the USA government now sees the difference I am proud to say. What kind of war is though Jing? Is it a war with weapons? Did you see any Reds with weapons? Why do you always distort things? Sorry, but forget the American government's opinion............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At any rate, you are saying thai kids at private schools and universities are not "real" thais? I am not a Red or Yellow supporter - I believe the majority of Reds do not have evil intentions (unlike their leaders), but are undereducated. And whose fault is that? Abhisits? Hardly. if you want to blame anyone look at Thaksin- he had five years to improve education here, and he did appoint himself Education Minister after all- what programs did he put in place to improve education? Abhisit is trying, but anything he proposes gets shot down - even if it would help these people - the PTP and Reds do not want anyone to see beyond their violence provoking rhetoric. Also, there are plenty of cases of kids from poor families who do go to university and work to better their lives. Is Thaksin coming back going to make things better for them? If you think so you are as as brain dead as you claim your students were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore my point is that the rich/poor divide needs to be reduced to enable the real thai children to flourish and release their inner spirit & talent; for they are so talented and so overlooked! jc I wish you would NOT speak for me. I am a farang living full time in Thailand with my Thai wife and son, we operate a business here and employee many Thais. I for one DO NOT think the RED rank and file are brain dead. I accept that many of them do not have much formal education and as such they are not treated with much respect by those that do. I also am not even sure who the yellow/elite are that the refer to but I can assure you I only know of one "Einstein" and he does not reside in Thailand. I also wish you would not call somebody acting poorly acting "western" there are a great many people in the west that are polite, gentle calm and intelligent and who can get their points across without the need to use profanity or insult people when you have a rather narrow cross section to work with. Believe it or not ALL children born in Thailand are Thai children your assertion that ONLY Poor children are REAL THAI children is rather offensive as well. You have a poor point of view and attitude for someone teaching children. Your point however poor a road you took to get there is in fact quite correct. ALL Thais be they rich or poor do deserve equal access to health care and schools and everything else. But I can assure you 100% what Thaksin is doing now to these poor people is NOT going to make that happen. The current gov't whether you believe or accept they are legit or not is making progress, albeit not fast enough for some people. Having an election called because a gov't is forced out in this manner will only mean that next go round the Yellows you speak of will be the ones protesting to have that "fake" gov't thrown out. It is a never end circle that can not be broken with the current tact the REDS are using. I think you will find that the vast majority of people posting on TV are in fact farang and I don't believe there are too many that would not like to see the wealth gap narrowed and fairness for all Thais in pursuit of all things... where we differ is how to get there. I feel so sorry for the REDS being lead down the garden path right now as they are... but in time this too will pass. I hope with as little injury or damage as possible. But it seems unlikely with the Thugs that are leading the REDS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I find it quite a difficuly place to live one way and another. I live in chaam, which if you dont know it about 180km southwest of bkk. Its a quiet beach town with thai students at the weekend. Real was really a euphonism that did not encompass all. Obviously there are exceptions to every rule. I was just making a general observation that i thought people may want to digest!! nothing malicious, just true life experience. hope u can take the post in its true context now.
