billd766 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 forget about it Thailand .... move on !! Well said ! Thailand will move on as soon as the people have an opportunity to express their will in elections free from gun barrels or coercion . As supported by the majority of Thailand ... most agree that Thailand is far better off now under the Military than it was before the takeover. At least there is some form of stability now ... before it was just kaos ... Now there is control, which was needed to stop the unruly lawlessness and thuggery that existed when the red shirts were making trouble. Thailand is far better now than before , and if you cannot see that then you need to see an eye doctor... I like many .... hope Prime Minister Prayuth stays in for a very long time .... he's the only one who can get this country back on it's feet. As supported by the majority of Thailand ... most agree that Thailand is far better off now under the Military than it was before the takeover. and how would you know that to be true? poll results from the happiness folks over at Master Poll? Come on, the only people who think the country is better off under military rule are the ones cheering for the "intervention" in the first place. They're happy as pigs in a poke... But you might recall that they are the minority... which is the reason that the Generals are their only path to power... They do not represent the majority of Thailand... I, like many, hope that the army are thrown out of politics forever so that Thailand can become a normal country and live up to it's potential... quote "But you might recall that they are the minority... which is the reason that the Generals are their only path to power...

I, like many, hope that the Shinawatras will be thrown out from politics so that Thailand can become a normal country and live up to it's potential... My words are the same as yours but from the opposite point of view. Ask yourself if it really matters what you, I or anybody else who is not Thai thinks when posting here. The Thais will do what they will do and there is nothing we can do to stop or change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valerian Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 "The fabric banner carrying a message written in red paint reads July 26, wish Thaksin lives several ten thousand years. Typical PT nonsense. Their promises, policies and wishes take no note of reality. QUOTE Typical PT nonsense. Their promises, policies and wishes take no note of reality Same as Typical Democrat nonsense. Their promises, policies and wishes take no note of reality. The reason Dems in Thailand have not won an election in more than 20 years. Only the barrels of an armed coup guarantees them ascent to power, not the will of the people. I am not enamored of PT historical performance. I am not a cheerleader for the Dems either. Remember, Pleak Phibunsongkhram, Sarit, 2006, et all? Same, same only different times for the dysfunctional semi-feudal patronage system and events. One good aspect of Thainess is the patient endurance of the people to wait until the balance of power is restored to a quasi-democracy to then express their will. Note to Anti-PTnistas: Please, flame me with valid, rational, factual arguments. Name calling and taking the thread ad hominem only shows lack of intellectual.prowess. "I am not a cheerleader for the Dems either." A pity! Thai social, economic and democratic development in the 90s (under the dems) culminated in the new constitution -97 and universal healthcare etc a bit later. Development was unfortunately halted by Thaksins quest for divinity early 2000s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill, what really matters to him is that he posts as many anti-junta posts as possible. He only posts in topics that are political, never posts in any other topics. Not quite sure who he is targeting with his anti-junta / pro-Shin propaganda. Not sure why the soldiers bothered taking the banner down, but it would be more a case of dislike of the birthday boy, rather than fear of him. If they had of ignored the banner it would not have made the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnglishJohn Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 wigflip-saywhat.jpg Good question Thaksin!......the might of the ultra powerful elite...the RTA...the RTP.......they're totally sh*t scared of him! However bad..or good he has been or done....I don't get it!! They're sh*t scared of the fact that he has the support of the people. Let's be frank. There's a major change coming. This bunch need to be in power when it happens, That way they reckon they are guaranteed to stay in power (that's where the analogy of the Thousand Year Reich really fits in). If the people have a say the risk that they lose power is too great. The stakes are as high as they get. Do you nutters seriously think there is going to be some kind of red-shirt revolution in Thailand ?. You should take more of those meds. Let me explain it to you : the revolution is happening now. Reforms are being written which will stop the Parliament full of dirty cronies who systematically rape the country with corruption from happening again in the future. Face it: Your style of 'dirty third world Asian country' is going out of date fast. You and your political heroes are dinosaurs who belong back in the time when some people thought communism was a good idea. People are getting educated to get jobs where they earn money, not steal it through corruption. The number of these people will increase whereas people like you will gradually disappear.
