Moral Center to propose six policies to PM to strengthen Thai Morality

[wwest5829]

Just another tool together with the institution and Buddha to keep people in "their" place!!

n

Religion is an opiate of the people? Sound abit familiar? Maybe the man was on to something. Course, that would apply to all religions.

[Morakot]

Collaboration to drive a Moral Society towards Reform

Dangerous claptrap!

[AlQaholic]

All the six policies wordings involves words such as "becoming a moral society", "propelling towards" and so on....Does this mean that the Moral Center is actually aware that there is no morality in Thai society??

Is not morality one of the very cornerstones of Buddhist teaching??

Might help if they started teaching good morals at school.

And teach by good example .

Lucky then that Buddha himself was an Atheist

[dominique355]

And who decides what is "good" morality and what is "bad" morality?

Equally, who is watching the good morality of these morality watch dogs?

The danger in this is not so much in the proposal as in the fact that they appear to believe it...and as opposed to the expected hype and spin that is quite scary.

Not many pro junta supporters on here.

Busy playing Whack a Mole with all the other bad news stories for them and their heroes, perhaps?

In the US 30 years ago we had this supposed "Moral Majority". They were neither.

I would throw out the "6 policies", and replace them with One Central Concept for the new Constitution:

The Rule of Law.

Which consists of:

- equal protection (basic rights for all people)

- equal application (same treatment for all citizens and visitors)

- due process (no shortcuts to justice)

- Impartial judiciary

- transparent (open to view and criticism)

- right of representation, humane treatment and appeal

- right to refuse self-incrimination (no more "reenacting the alleged [sic] crime" )

Welcome to N. Korea, Thailand, now everyone, you must have morals, anyone caught with out some

will be shot or sent to labor camps... Yes, dear leader (PM )

At least North Korea has drinking, gambling and no state morality commission..

[sunshine51]

Moral Center to propose....ad nauseum.....Hah!

I've had my laugh for today now lets get real & hope

the ideas of post #40 are even thought about much less

implemented...or is that too much to hope for?

[angiolo]

I guess prostitution is not moral . so ban it i along with corruption . Scams must stop with the Mafia arrested. Now we are leading to Thai morality

[klauskunkel]

there is a BiB in the picture...morality assured.

[Thai at Heart]

The country is morally bankrupt from the very top to the very bottom. As for Ethics....they've never heard of them.

Wait until the "definition" of dear leader's morals comes clear. Farangs, enjoy your Pattaya, ladies, booze, farang bars now 'cause I have a very bad feeling that is exactly where this bunch of troglodytes are headed. Should make some of the troglodytes that crawl out of their holes from time to time on TV happy. If you think dear leader doesn't like us now, wait until he gets back from his trip to the UN and has to face the press there.

Nothing about respect the law, obey the law, no corruption et al, ad nauseum

Cloud "cuckoo land" does exist

How are you going to improve the morals here when on every web site you will see adds for girls to do what every you want and go where ever you go. This along with all the whore houses in Puget, pataya and a few more places like that.

[bheard]

Beyond satire!

Sure is.

Comedy spot tonight is working out pretty well.

First the poor people being led astray, and now the moral compass!

Unbelievable.

Remember one of the PTP former ministers said lying was ethical! The finance minister thought lying o k if they're really just little white ones. Seems like they were only saying what everyone else believes and does anyway.

Until the bulk of Thai people accept that lying, constantly, never admitting you're wrong. making up any old answer and claiming it's right and refusing to admit anything you don't like is right, then these issues will persist.

And if anyone thinks these policies will do anything about they're living the dream - or is it nightmare?

[quandow]

Don't you NEED morality before you ADD more?

WHAT a CROCK!!!

[maidee]

thai morality, as much worth as thai honesty

[Chris Lawrence]

Yes but I would like to punch a reporter and I can't keep my eyes of those scantily clad western young girls. Perfect set of morals to lead a Nation?

[HerbalEd]

You cannot legislate morality ... although my instilling fear you can create conformity.
