chainarong Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I am more concerned with Thaskin trying to off load the forces against him, this guy is a total twit , this mumbo jumbo crap, you used to see in Disney movies with William Holden in darkest Africa, better get the joggers out for the 14-16th , the walking frame and the M16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmirage2013 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) What an incredible waste of time.... And "Love festival" on Valentine's Day?!!" Suthep is beginning to sound like Dr. Joyce Brothers, or John Gray ["Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus"]... seriously, I think someone needs to give him a day job.... starting to sound pathetic. This protest movement is sputtering into a terrible failure. It is the same old rhetoric. There is nothing new, no ideas, no solutions, no actions.... if is just the same old boring marching around collecting money blocking traffic.....collecting rice money from the farmers is just an opportunistic distraction to walk some more. Stop these silly protests here in Bangkok.... Why don't you go protest in Chiang Mai in front of Thaksin and Yinglucks family compound. I'm sure Thaksin goes back and forth into Thailand undetected and stays there anyway. Edited February 12, 2014 by Blackmirage2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suthep is going to a lot of trouble to organise this special Valentine event so I shouldn't let the little lady down. I was kind of expecting Suthep to cancel Valentines Day this year unless Yingluk handed over the country to him Edited February 12, 2014 by chooka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackmirage2013 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 This anti-government protest started off with some energy and vigor... now it is nonsense... just a bunch of blockades and physical structures blocking the major intersections of Bangkok during the day and then people sitting on the streets in the evenings, listening to all the same boring rhetoric... At least unblock the streets during the day.... a useless effort... Cut your losses.... nonsense, irritating, boring... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

englishoak Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Maybe if he advertised it as a mass singles meet n greet he'd be more on the money... How sweet pick the one weekend that people will be wanting to spend with their loved ones that'll get them out. Maybe hes been looking in the mirror a bit too much and fallen for himself .... Heres hoping it dosnt turn into St Valentines Day 1929 rerun and all stay safe and sound.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lomatopo Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I like the "power button" logo for "re-starting Thailand". Ctrl-Alt-Delete, or jumper cables might be more appropriate? Is this the "final rally"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suriya4 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I like the "power button" logo for "re-starting Thailand". Ctrl-Alt-Delete, or jumper cables might be more appropriate? Is this the "final rally"? Yes. This Valentine day will completely bring down the Thaksin family and all their clan. Feb 14 will be long remembered as the day Thailand finally become corruption free. It will also be celebrated at Suthep's day (to layman). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickirs Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Suthep will make this Valentine's Day go down in Thai history as the day used tires ruled the streets in mass protest against the government. There weren't enough rubber plantation owners to matter and their workers are anti-Democrat, so Suthep approached the Tire Kingdom to join his anti-corrpution protests and it agreed to put wheels in motion and roll out their forces. Peace and Love this Valentine's day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the buses are a joke in Bangkok, I´ll rather walk or sit in the traffic jam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visionchaser45 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 If by "mass rallies" they mean a raucous gathering of a few thousand, then okay. They'll be lucky to get any substantial numbers to turn out. The "people" want to vote. They also want these disruptive kooks to go home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
