lungmi Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 The MICT minister insisted that he was doing his duty and that he had the authority to do so. Just another bully with no balls in a suit. "The MICT minister insisted that he was doing his duty and that he had the authority to do so." Yes, absolutely right. He follows instructions of the PM in Dubai.

HarryMilton Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Great idea. If it takes MICT's attention away from shutting down inoffensive porn sites (that I never look at), someone I know, not me of course, would be all for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckaroo Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 He urged anyone who finds offensive messages on the Internet to report them so they could be "immediately removed". I find his message offensive and I want it removed NOW! Go on then report it to him, and find out if he will listen to your foreign voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HerbalEd Posted May 7, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2013 In democracies like USA, Canada, England, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and others, not only can you criticize public officials, you can also belittle, ridicule, insult, and parody them freely. It's a key component of living in a democracy, and if a public official can't take it, then they should resign or not run for office in the first place. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzMick Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) ...this presumably from a minister of a cabinet which regularly kisses hands with a convicted criminal. Is that all he kisses? Inquiring minds want to know It all stems from the old custom of showing fealty by kissing of the bosses ring. Confusion arises from which ring is being referred to. BTW the Ministry continues the misconstruction of what was said - a prostitute sells herself, only a PM sells her country.

whybother Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 For the last few weeks my TOT internet link regularly goes down for a few minutes. Just now typing a reply to a post it happened again. Must be pure coincidence of course. My posts are always within acceptable limits Same with my 3BB line. Up and down like a PMs drawers.

In the UK you do that to the monarchy as well and it is often done without any negative effect that I can see. One question is does this apply to insulting my intelligence. I'd like a quick answer on this as if it does I need to go back through Thaivisa to when I joined checking posts and government and official statements so I can write a really big list.

khunken Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 It's part of the Shinawatra psyche - criticism will not be tolerated and we love the defamation law. Thaksin had to be reigned-in (so to speak) for overdoing the defamation suits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baerboxer Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 The MICT should request the DSI to investigate the souce of these outrageous comments made in the name of free speech. The Democrats could then be charged accordingly. Just shows the path being taken. If no criticism allowed, why bother with iritants like elections. Everyone knows how "right' minded people would vote. Those who don't agree are dangerous undemocratic reactionaries and should be dealt with accordingly. Heard this before somewhere...........

notmyself Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Are they going to block Skype? Sent from my Phone. Don't worry, because that would render them helpless. Skype is this governments livefeed line. Cutting off Skype would leave them leaderless! Which would be a good thing. It is not always the case that adding something makes things better or that removing something makes things worse. Take Fox News channel in the US. It has been shown that people who watch it are less informed than people who don't watch it. I consider it highly likely that the same thing could be said about schooling in Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My god.....So TV will turn over their membership list to MICT, who will then scour member posts for any ones critical of Yingluck. Perhaps offending members then be sent off to " re-education" camps....

He insisted he was doing his duty and that he had the authority to do so. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/politics/My-right-to-close-anti-PM-websites-minister-claims-30205650.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
