northernjohn Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Can just hear it now the low voice what are we going to do now? Ms Yingluck declined to answer political questions posed by journalists at the temple.

Popular Post Baerboxer Posted July 4, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) Yingluck Shinawattra was not ousted by the military. She was ousted by a court for acting illegally for nepotistic reasons. Thaksin Shinawattra was not the PM or even the lawful caretaker PM when he was ousted following his illegal seizure of power.

Yet you don't find anything wrong with seemingly every thread some dingbat will be asking "Where's Chalerm" Just one more thing - what is it you people don't understand about using members of the "opposition" as examples in a reply. Are they exempt for some reason. The above is a perfect example. A post that comes up with a fatuous and unpleasant comment such as "Damn it! Chalerm is still walking" deserves a ripost. One would immediately think of a figure that is relevant to the situation, in this case a political figure of opposite persuasion. He was hardly likely to write "So is Robben. so what". Apart from the ridiculousness of using Robben as an example of a person who is still walking when he obviously has so much trouble staying on his feet, that is Edited July 4, 2014 by fab4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's the deterrent value in that? ? Maybe Johnny was driving and crashed the car. Maybe Johnny was walking and got hit by a car. Maybe Johnny was a passenger and got hurt in an accident. I realise multiple possibilities must be challenging for a person only able to deal with one thing at a time - bring back Thaksin - Burn Bangkok - Red is Good and it must come as a surprise, nay a revelation, that there can be multiple possibilities to any given situation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She then replaced him with her brother's ex wife's brother.. Nepotism..or a bullshit excuse to remove the PM? Is my Brother's Ex Wife's brother my family? I don't even know their names!! Honestly.

Cthulhu Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Yingluck Shinawattra was not ousted by the military. She was ousted by a court for acting illegally for nepotistic reasons. Thaksin Shinawattra was not the PM or even the lawful caretaker PM when he was ousted following his illegal seizure of power. Interesting how many chose to say things differently or suggest a different scenario. What drivel ! As I recall it Thaksin won 2 elections with an overwhelming majority. In fact he was the first Prime Minister to achieve an overall majority in free elections (in 2001). He would have won a third time had not the Dems decided to they didn't want to play and decided to boycott further elections, thereby helping to precipitate the 2006 coup. So in what way was Thaksin's seizure of power illegal? Or do you just define free elections as illegal per se? And before you squawk about me being a Red Shirt, I personally disliked the Thaksin government intensely, but I'm not Thai and it's not up to me to tell them who to vote for. Certainly, my then girl friend and her neighbours down in Chantaburi province, not up in Isaan, thought he was wonderful, regardless of what the Farang might say! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
