quandow Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 "PM Prayut said protests by operators over new rules had significantly affected fishery" These rules aren't new, they've been in place for years. What's NEW is that the fisheries are being held accountable, and they just don't LIKE obeying the laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oziex1 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Why does this guy ask people to obey the law, a bunch of students disobeyed the law and were promptly imprisoned. Do the same for all law breakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rametindallas Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 As long as he doesn't give taxpayers' money or extensions to the slacktards who haven't seen fit to comply with rules that have been in place for many years even though the were told more than six months ago to get their businesses in order. The last thing Thailand needs is any more mollycoddling of scofflaws. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rametindallas Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Why does this guy ask people to obey the law, a bunch of students disobeyed the law and were promptly imprisoned. Do the same for all law breakers. The students aren't 'imprisoned' (a hyperbolic term), they are in jail (there's a HUGE difference) and they wouldn't be in jail now excepting they refuse to post bail that was offered. On the other hand, the fishermen aren't breaking any laws as long as they don't leave port without fulfilling all the requirements that have been in place for years that no previous government would enforce (more reform by Prayut). Thailand stands to lose a huge amount of money, greatly affecting their balance of trade, if they are red-carded by the EU because of these recalcitrant fishermen. The fishermen who have complied will be punished also by any ban enforced on Thailand by the EU. The only way Thailand can avoid a ban is by enforcing the law (I know, unique, isn't it?). If this reform stuff continues, maybe the whole country will learn to, at least partially, obey the laws of the land (well, I admit that may be a stretch). .

FangFerang Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 "he expressed a readiness to help those who failed to meet the regulations....." "Now, now," he said. "My close friends own most of your boats, and we can't let anything happen to them, now can we?" A few submarines later, from public money, a few payments to get boats back in the water-- Now THOSE are populist policies targeted to the well-heeled rather than the poor. No wonder no expansion to the healthcare system, and doctors demanding to financially screen patients (now the hospitals want to do background checks to see what you can afford, just as was done before and literally killed the poor and bankrupted them). These are Marxist tactics a la Machiavelli, and some mentally myopic people are buying what they're selling...... Hogwash. Everyone saw this coming a long time ago, like when Suthep announced they had planned the coup months before, and the PM promptly said "Suthep mistakenly remembered".

You don't have to stay ignorant. put or keep in prison or a place like prison Jail, where these students are, is not like a prison. So yeah, they're imprisoned So, NO, they're jailed. This is an English language forum so you don't have to limit your vocabulary; the better word is 'Jail'. The word 'prison' as in 'imprisoned' is a loaded word. Is your vocabulary that limited? Are you wanting to exploit the students for political purposes? I think you are just being obtuse or you want to make a hyperbolic political statement. What is the difference between jails and prisons? Jails are locally-operated, short term facilities that hold inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both, and inmates sentenced to a term of less than 1 year, typically misdemeanants. Prisons are long term facilities run by the state or the federal government and typically hold felons and inmates with sentences of more than 1 year. Definitions may vary by state. http://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=qa&iid=322 Jail vs. Prison A jail is used to temporarily detain those who are suspected or convicted of a crime. It is used for the short-term, usually to hold those awaiting trial or to hold those convicted of low-level offenses that have sentences of one year or less. A prison is a facility that holds convicts who have committed crimes the legal system deems especially serious (e.g., repeated drunk driving offenses, first degree murder) for more long-term sentences. http://www.diffen.com/difference/Jail_vs_Prison I suggest you visit a Thai jail and then visit a Thai prison.

Stargeezr Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 If Thailand needs some submarnes, well have a deal for you! Canada has 3 or 4 beautiful, sort of almost new subs, just for you. I think that even one of them actually runs okay. Not sure what the price would be, but please do contact our government and take them off of our hands! We may even have some helicopters to sell as well, only a few to several decades old, and not even in a museum yet. I am just another Canadian trying to be helpful.
