whybother Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I read all this tit for tat comments and one upmanship......Look at what is happening around you...... Why do you think the Reds have offered.... right now...to follow the road map....... Who would then look like the fools if the confrontation steps up another level???......if more damage and killings now emerge...... Government supporters better hope this is finished quickly.....or they will lose credibility for their arrogant stance on this day Think about it!!! If the reds want to follow the roadmap, why are they still fighting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilkitty Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 How do you guys explain this?AFP Report: Journalists a 'terrorist' target for Thai army. "The press is a target, as well as people at the protest site," Said Sunsern The government spokesman Sunsern has now officially designated the press as "terrorist targets". Someone has seriously lost their marbles. And don't say I made this up, because it was just posted by ThaiVisa news. Not it wasn't, what is posted here is reports from VARIOUS sources including twitter! AFP report as that one you quoted was from. Doesnt make them true! Lots of rumours and misinformation that turn out to be false or exagerated later. Him saying the press is a target doesnt mean HE ORDERED THE SHOOTING of press, it means they will probably get shot by SOMEONE. Dude... just learn to think a bit, dam_n.

Neurath Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Dear other than Americans.NO Most Americans are not as right-wing and dense as the angry white yanks posting here against the Reds. The losers are still upset that Obama was elected and are taking it out on Thai poor people. Just say this to them no matter what they post. Obama won Get over it you pathetic cry baby losers. Now about Thailand. Most Thai people on all sides do not want to fight. The problem is that there are powerful people on both sided who can and will back violence. So far, as bad as it has been, the Thai people have shown restraint. A huge compromise is needed. My best wishes to all Thai people. May times be better soon. With all due respect, people who think this can be shaped into a western "right-wing" vs "left-wing" fight are just showing how little understanding they have of Thai poli-business. For example, Thaksin would certainly not be considered left-wing, but the reds are led by several ex-Maoists who want to do away with the "elite" class; but yet Seh Daeng was an infamous "commie killer" - all on the same team. You are saying right wingers support Abhisit. But his programs for the poor of Isaan - debt forgiveness, free medical care and schooling sound pretty left wing- more like something Obama would do. So go brush up on what's happening here before painting people who are against the Reds as right wing angry white Obama hating yanks. It's a bit more involved than that. btw, I'm happy Obama won, and I don't support the Reds. Thank you Netfan, the lazy categories through which many want to view this dispute help with neither understanding nor resolution. Left/Right, Rich/Poor, etc. etc. none of them fit. A very different and very Thai dynamic at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eleison Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 (edited) No one is trying to "put any one back in their place". You are just spinning Thaksin's talking points. This is not about rural poor versus Elites. Many of the Red Shirt Leaders and Puea Thai leaders are enormously wealthy. These demostrations started because the government confiscated 1.4 billion dollars of illegal profits from Thaksin. Hello? Are you completely ignorant of the facts? The South of Thailand.. from Petchburi down to Pattani....include large majorities of farmers and poor. They do not support Thaksin. He lost the vote in the South in every election. The myth of the Thai poor versus the rich Elites has some distant truth in the past....but not now....now it is just a talking point of Thaksin, spoken to incite people against this duly elected democratic government. You don't have to convince me... you have to convince people who are now seething at the fact (or what they perceive) as the injustices happening to their fellow thais during this protest. You can blame what is happening right now to a single man (who isn't even in thailand or been in thailand for months, if not years).... you can shout it at the top of the mountain.. but when it comes down to it... can you CONVINCE those people who are upset at the current government? These people who for the most part haven't really armed themselves -- they somewhat in my humble opinion still believe in their government... If they stop believing that their government REPRESENTS them... and if they believe change only "comes down from the barrel of a gun" ... will you be able to CONVINCE these people who will THEN be carrying assault rifles and bombs ????? Oh, these uneducated bumpkins.. so stupid... stupid people have changed governments before.. I wouldn't be so smug. These stupid bumpkins have been trying to change the government using relativity peaceful means.. if they don't think it can be done... trust me, violence will be used (as shown throughout history)...

(can anyone tell me how to embed youtube videos on this site?) My wife, MIL, sisters etc, just watched it and all burst into sobbing tears. It is above politics and shows the real feelings of the normal Thai person as to what is happening in this country right now. If anyone can give a better translation please do, but what I picked up was this. The guy picks up an award at a Thai TV awards show, and during the speech says something along the following lines. "This 'house' used to have lots of fighting, the family were never happy and fought about everything. Then along came our Father, he worked so hard to build a beautiful new 'House' for us, where we could all be happy and live together. As a young boy, I grew up in such a happy house and my Father loved us all and we all loved him so dearly. Now some members of our family are fighting for someone else and want to destroy our 'house', and hurt our Father and even take him away. Why? If you don't love our Father anymore, then just leave our House and let us be happy once again with him, we love him and we would all die for him" All very emotional and a standing ovation. It is flying around the Thai social networking sites at the speed of light. If this is broadcast to the 'normal' red protestors they will all go home within 20 minutes of watching it.

Here is one of the videos of armed blackshirt sniper firing while reds stand by. The other clip they showed was a different blackshirt(s) running from different points, again amoug reds.

(4) div#related-article-links p a, div#related-article-links p a:visited { color:#06c; } What has divided 'the Land of Smiles'? A Buddhist kingdom, Thailand is polarised between its elites and the poor in a struggle for power that has turned Bangkok into a war zone. The violence is threatening Thailand's vital tourism industry. Although 800,000 Britons a year holiday in the kingdom, there have been mass cancellations since the Foreign Office warned about the risks to visitors What started it? In 2006, Thaksin Shinawatra, the popular prime minister, was ousted in a military coup: a miscalculation that made him a hero to the masses. Most polls suggest he would win any free and fair election. But Thaksin, a billionaire telecoms tycoon turned politician, is feared and hated by his rivals in the elite. They will do anything to stop him coming back Who are the Red Shirts? They started out supporting Thaksin but are now a mass movement preaching social change and class war politics. They are a challenge to the old order, which is built around the monarchy and the army. Among their ranks they include students and activists, as well as many down-to-earth villagers What do the protesters want? They regard the prime minister, Abhisit Vejjajiva, a British-born Newcastle United supporter who came to power in December 2008, as a puppet of the military. They are demanding that he dissolve parliament and call elections What's going to happen? Thailand's old hierarchy is on the way out. The gap between rich and poor is too wide. Discussion of Thailand's most important institution, the monarchy, is stifled by strict laws. The revered King Bhumibol is old and sick. A privileged class of courtiers, soldiers and businessmen could see their status threatened, so there could be much more bloodshed before any genuine reform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must talk and make agreement to stop the violence and deaths.......go back to the road map.......and if the offer of the 14th of Nov as an election date was genuine.....offer this again with a dissolution date........ If the violence becomes prolonged and escalates, or the insurgents go underground all this death is for no reason........ The time to make agreement for the good of Thailand is now.....ignore what has brought them to this place, make agreement and work on the solution.......not sit around like halfwits discussing what is past.....like the people on this forum. So there is your answer..... I think they should continue to starve out the protesters, continue to use snipers against people armed with dangerous weapons such as guns, grenades, rifles, molotovs etc. They should setup well-manned road blocks everywhere and arrest anyone transporting tires, petrol, food, etc. to the protest area. They also need to dispatch troops quickly to the new stage at Bon Kai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerx007 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Well, anyone who speaks Thai or has a Thai wife needs to watch this!! If your wife watches it, get the kleenex ready!Watch This! (can anyone tell me how to embed youtube videos on this site?) My wife, MIL, sisters etc, just watched it and all burst into sobbing tears. It is above politics and shows the real feelings of the normal Thai person as to what is happening in this country right now. If anyone can give a better translation please do, but what I picked up was this. The guy picks up an award at a Thai TV awards show, and during the speech says something along the following lines. "This 'house' used to have lots of fighting, the family were never happy and fought about everything. Then along came our Father, he worked so hard to build a beautiful new 'House' for us, where we could all be happy and live together. As a young boy, I grew up in such a happy house and my Father loved us all and we all loved him so dearly. Now some members of our family are fighting for someone else and want to destroy our 'house', and hurt our Father and even take him away. Why? If you don't love our Father anymore, then just leave our House and let us be happy once again with him, we love him and we would all die for him" All very emotional and a standing ovation. It is flying around the Thai social networking sites at the speed of light. If this is broadcast to the 'normal' red protestors they will all go home within 20 minutes of watching it. I just have a feeling tht those people living upcountry in Isaan and other regions aren't the active on "social networking sites" ... I may be wrong though ... And Thailand has its priorities pretty clear when they can hold a TV award function while quite a big part of the city is buring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please explain how Abhisit is Thailand's father? Are you just pretending to be stupid? or are you really stupid? This is about Abhisit stepping down and calling for new elections. And meaning it, not just telling people to guess the date of the House dissolution. Because without an exact date of a House dissolution, you cannot have an exact date for an election. But only smart people understand how it works. The stupid people just saw Abhisit saying "elections will be held on November 14th". Now, back to the issue. This is about Abhisit, nobody else. So it being about Abhisit, care to explain how Abhisit is Thailand's father? its well known that Thaksin has said to the reds like you, that you will all get paid and get your bonuses when Abhisit gives a date for House resolution and not before. Abhisit knows that too, thats why he has not said a date and thats why the reds can't go home without it no date, no pay! something you should bear in mind..........
