UbonOz Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 When I was 17 I knew everything and my parents knew nothing, I was always nagged. When I reached 21 I was totally surprised how much they had learnt in 4 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJohnnyBKK Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 >54.1% died? Really?? What % represent abortions? What % other causes? That would rate childbirth in Thailand as dangerous as the UK in the Dark Ages. Not really. In fact that figure is so far wrong as to indicate that the species cannot survive. I think it's a translation issue - they're not counting births but pregnancies as opposed to healthy infants. Safe abortions are in fact easy and cheap to get at least in Bangkok, in fact almost legal. However not only the "religious right" but AFAICT most Thais still view it as a dangerous moral crime in addition to it being against the law.

toenail Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Yes, let's put the blame on 21st Century technology. How about good old social values being ingnored...or people themselves taking responsibilities????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumbles Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I would have thought it would be rather difficult to have sex while chattiing etc on facebook. (Very hard to type). As far as I know the only natural way to get pregnant is to have intercourse or at least touch naughty bits & fluids. Think a better excuse is needed.

paymaster Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 They may think facebook is a contributing factor but I think the major cause is intercourse of a more sexual nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_smith237 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I know a couple who are trying for children, they've given up on conventional intercourse, IUI and IVF treatments... they're facebooking each other all day long now... but still no luck. Does this facebook malarkey only get teenagers pregnant, those who don't want to get pregnant or does it only work on a combination of both? what about those teenagers who do want to get pregnant, does facebook only cause unwanted pregnancy?

spidermike007 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Thailand is in a transition from a patriarchal context to a society where people become self-aware. Unfortunately those high up there in the administration cannot avoid the patriarchal tendency of perceiving the population as "innocent" and as "victims of foreign systems". People who are in positions of responsibility should be more imaginative and avoid lapsing into obsolete speech. Totally agree with you. Imaginative? Creative? When was the last time you saw an expression of that, in the LOS? When? Thailand has many wonderful qualities. But imagination, and creativity are not amongst them. Anywhere. Ever.

ianwuk Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) Facebook or anything else unwholesome will never get banned here purely for the fact that, if it was, it'd be one step closer to putting the blame on the real culprit, the people, and that will never happen. The government needs things to blame for the societal situation after all, that is not themselves, and usually avoids the main issue or cause entirely and spouts rubbish articles like this.

spidermike007 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Just another nationalistic rant, by a man with the emotional, and intellectual development of a 13 year old. Blame it on foreigners. Thailand has been doing this for the better part of the last 50 years. It is a bit naive, at best. Let us not take any responsibility for the deterioration of moral values in the Kingdom. Let us blame it on outside factors. Hopefully, many will be able to see past this nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudolus Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I think we are lucky that they have not declared that Facebook is a farang website, so therefore all the teen pregnancies are the fault of Farangs and justifiably get the cops to spot search us all to see if we are carrying condoms; if so, a fine for having sex with a teenager; if not, a fine for getting a teen up the duff. Thats Thai logic I believe? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICT Minister Anudith Nakornthap has said that there was no need for parents to worry about misuse because the tablet computers contained Global Positioning System (GPS) to trace users’ contents and their whereabouts.
