Popular Post Roadman Posted October 21, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) any respect i had for abhisit, which in fact i did, is fast dwindling. I agree that the criminals and scum of society fit more in line with the types that some prefer to respect which says a lot about the type of person giving the respect. There are certainly plenty at the top of the UDD/RED hardcore/PheuThai mafia that fit the bill. Even more so the convicted fugitive criminal in Dubai who is trying to whitewash the Thai public with the alter boy image of their terrorist attack on Bangkok, the Thai Army and the legal Thai government of the time. Thankfully Khun Abhisit is still here facing the populist dictatorship grab of the Shinwatra clan. That is more worthy of respect than any other of the scum that sit right through all Thai politicial parties.

Postmaster Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Fozfromoz has it dead right. You are all wasting your time and energy on this. Go home if you want to influence Democracy. You cannot do it here in Thailand. We just don't have a say whatsoever. (As far as I am aware unless its through your partners). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolbreez Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Being educated in business, and economics it hurts me see a country intentionally create a dictatorship. The element of free enterprise is one of the first things destroyed, and the economic growth of the country is no longer a priority. That is where the dilema arises, on the one hand I want the best for Thailand economically on the world markets, but as a foreigner dependant on the dollar to baht exchange rate, I would like to financially see the economy tank, as this government is attempting to do to it. The social influence of the "me" attitude of Thailand is rubbing off on me. I can't stand blatantly corrupt officials, but for myself to benefit the most in Thailand Thaksin needs to be brought back so he can directly tank the economy, not continuing to operate through proxies to do it, bringing the dollar to baht exchange rate back to the 40+ to the dollar level as he proposes for renewed manufactoring growth the cheap labor would provide, and better export growth the cheap baht would promote is the best for "me", and not Thailand as a whole. His personal interests he constantly places above the needs of the country also benefit me, so I am caught in the moral dilema. Do I support bringing him back exhonorated for my own benefit, or do I concern myself for what is best for Thailand as a whole, and support jailing, prosecuting, and executing him for the corrupt executive decisions he has made, and continues to make?

Very interesting response, I guess many of us would fall into the same boat. But I'm confused, on one hand you say you are a foreigner dependant on the US$ / Baht exchange rate, yet you also talk about supporting bringing him back. As expats we have absolutely no say in anything politically here. You can support or not support as much as you like but it won't make a bit of difference to Thai politics. I guess you are talking about supporting which side of the moral dilemma you are facing. Yep, I would sure as hell like to see the Thai Baht 35+ to the AUD$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
