ChrisY1 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 He's saying all the right things......but will anyone listen...? "Thai citizens need to be empowered to be free thinkers, have a thirst for knowledge, be ethical and be proud of their nation."........This may happen.....but it's likely generations away unfortunately!

Always18 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Now I am really confused..............I've always been led to believe that Thais are perfect at all things, so how can they possibly improve on their "quality"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heybruce Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) "NRC committee member Suwit Maesintree said Thai citizens need to be empowered to be free thinkers, have a thirst for knowledge, be ethical and be proud of their nation." Thai citizens are forbidden from criticizing the government, cannot gather in groups of five or more for political discussions, are taught government approved classes using censored textbooks, and are ruled by a government that came to power by force, dissolved the constitution, and granted the coup-leaders amnesty. The junta isn't making free thinking, having an inquiring mind, and taking pride in country easy. Edited August 14, 2015 by heybruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deckape Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 What the hell....The fact that he recognizes these things and openly expresses them is a step in the right direction IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FangFerang Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 What the hell....The fact that he recognizes these things and openly expresses them is a step in the right direction IMHO. I hate it when people say it's a step in the right direction. Either take action or shut up. Talking points don't even flush the toilet. Lead, follow or get out of the way. Stop standing in the doorway chanting mindless marches...... People are trying to get somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamnutsak Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 "Free thinkers" Yikes, alarm bells sounding. That's exactly the last thing you'd want. They might get up to no good, and start questioning the status quo. Or maybe this term means something different in Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
