khunken Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 There are a few people who could learn from what has happened in Egypt. Thaksin, Yingluck, Tarit, Surapong and a few on Thaivisa too. 1. This is what could have happened in 2010 if the likes of Samak or Suchinda was in power. 2. Don't make your protest by squatting in the middle of a city & disrupting residents, traffic & businesses. 3. Do be prepared to negotiate without having to check your mobile phone. 4. Keep it peaceful - don't use armed militias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MobileContent Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Looking at all this Yellow Shirt farangs postings, it just doesn't make sense because if the Yellow Shirt aka Abhisit would be back in power w/o of course winning an election, all you are are still a bunch of farangs that Thailand doesn't give a damn about. Hopefully in your own country one day the army starts shooting its own citizens. Live must be really bad of always whining about the Yingluck government. Under Abhisit did anything improves for you in Thailand or with the help of Suthep? If you don't like the government in Thailand why don't put up your bag and just go home to your country with a high unemployment rate because it doesn't matter who is in power in Thailand the people's will always get ripped off. It's not really about the government in Thailand but more about Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siampolee Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) Minister of Foreign Affairs Surapong Tovichakchaikul said in the statement that the Thai government is deeply concerned by the heavy handed crackdown on the supporters of former President Mohammed Morsi. He called for an end to violence from all sides and a peace dialogue so that Egypt can move toward democratic transition. Thus the expert has spoken this character is related to the sponsor of The Red Shirts so we can but suppose the puppet master told him the money he (the puppet master) had invested in that particular venture in his hostile take over attempt of Thailand has yet to provide its full dividend rather than the current slow rate of return. Note of course there is vocabulary used that of course the government spokesman nor his puppet master actually comprehend the meaning of the same situation applies to all the members of the puppet company known as the P.T.P. Let's start with ''Peace, democracy, two totally unknown words to this government and its puppet master peace dialogue, now there is an interesting mouthful that the P.T.P. have yet to come to understand . "Coups only lead to dictatorship," Ms. Jittra was quoted as saying. She also said the anti-government protesters in Thailand who had been calling for ′Egypt Model′ should learn the lesson from what happened in post-coup Egypt. Ms Jittra seems to have her hand on things indeed coups only lead to dictatorship as is currently being seen. However regarding the second section in the quote box I am presuming that the oblique or possibly they could be ambiguous reference to The Egypt Model relate to past incidents and also the consequences those current activities and actions on all sides may ultimately have some bearing on possible future incidents and subsequently the ultimate fate or destiny (call it what you may) of this current government and far more importantly Thailand and its peoples for many a year to come too. Indeed a wonderful outpouring of rhetoric from those in government who claim to be experts, Well experts always know very little about a great deal, thus can we or do we really attach any value on the advice offered / Ms. Jittra? Perhaps a clearer view of matters however is she actually in control or is she able to actually achieve a radical change in the Thai social structure, noble words. However I fear that like Joan of Arc Ms. Jittra will be a sacrifice in the future as has been the case with the rank and file of the Red Shirt movement and many a reformist irrespective of their political hue over the years in Thailand. ,Here only the chameleons can survive.

hellodolly Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I think he's right. Even he and his gang went so far as to burn down buildings and city halls across the country, they still couldn't oust Abhisit. Violence is not the answer, but the dictatorship by majority is. I think he's right. Even he and his gang went so far as to burn down buildings and city halls across the country, they still couldn't oust Abhisit. Violence is not the answer, but the dictatorship by majority minority is. Particularly when they maintain there own private army to enforce their will on the honest citizens in the country.

One where there are no farongs who can not vote or own property discuss their thoughts on the Government knowing full well that they can not really do any thing about it. Did you ever consider that in your country (Thailand) it was the citizens who started the shooting. Are you trying to say that if you had been in the army there you would have just stood there and let them fire away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Red Shirt apologists don't purport that all died via efforts of officials to maintain security. ....or are Red Shirt boosters still trying to convince us that all died from authorities' bullets? And your 2nd point is just as off-base: In reality, the violence DID accomplish something. It enabled the Reds to garner sympathy, and enabled the Shinawatres to regain political control of Thailand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others prefer to criticize the fact that the army shot unarmed people. Whatever, this is not the point. It does not change anything to the statement. If Abhisit, who is responsible for the violent crackdown and 90 deaths in the eyes of many people, had made the same statement, I could only agree with him too. Violence does not resolve differences. There was a violent crackdown and death. The losers of that time are the winners of today. Abhisit and his followers are still blocking any attempt to reconcile and move forward, ... 90 deaths but still nothing resolved. Even if Suthep himself had made the statement, normal people would not jump on what he said to bring back old stories. Violence does not solve differences. The fact is that on this forum many people seem to, at least turn a blind eye on, sometimes support, or even kind of "enjoy" violence, as long as it is directed at the camp they apparently hate so much...
