kannot Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Is there room in the jails for the remaining 1% though or enough room in the classrooms for the "attitude adjustment" sessions?

JeffreyO Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Not 99% of the Thai's I've spoken to. Not even 50% of the Thai's I've spoken to.Then again, the government says people like the government? I'm assuming they polled people in the government...

mrrizzla Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 They stopped the fighting and deaths. That has got to be a good thing. It appears that they also cleaned up the police who failed to arrest a single culprit in the shooting deaths before the coup. They were complicit in not properly dealing with the protests when asked. They have been planning this coup since 2010. Cleaned up the police, ah yes, have you forgotten about what happened at Koh Tao? Their handling of the Bombings (rewarding themselves for a job not done), and now one of their own has fled to seek asylum in Australia because he was actually doing his job and was close to exposing the big boys in the human trafficking here that are in the upper ranks of the cops and the oh so heroic army? Seriously those of you drinking the kool-aid no doubt supplied by your Thai wives, grow a pair and open your eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambum Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 OMG I have not had a good laugh in a long time Not even a pure democracy like the United States gets a 99% approval rating And on top of that it is a GOVERNMENT POLL If you believe this then I have some very very nice beach front property for sale in Florida Which Thais did they survey. When, who under what circumstances, after a Happy Meal from McDonalds. I wonder if Thais really believe this stuff I am so sorrily disappointed in this governement enacted Poll because I know its not reality Pure democracy Unites States - ha ha ha ha ROFL Ever wondered why Obama's approval rates are in the low forties at the most? Simple! Because the surveys are taken in the USA and not Thailand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chainarong Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Government trolls what next , all this government media polling stuff should go where it was intended, I wish the media wouldn't be so gullible and consign these polls to the dunny, you can fool the people some of the time but not all the time.......................................... ...

Siamwhiteelephant Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Carefully selected Thais? What affiliations to the coup govt. do they have? It's a hallmark of non-democratic govts. like North Korea and Syria to poll the 99% approval rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucec64 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Excellent job done considering the dire straits the country had gotten into! They would get the 100% thumbs up from me if they would reintroduce the curfew. The country needs a serious reset and the population has to realise that you don't get something for nothing and freedom for fee. Hilarious! !!! I'm assuming this is a sarcastic post...

augustwest Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 My wife said if they said 95% Orr 99% what difference would it make? Just say 100% and be done with it! LMAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamyai3 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Kim Jong Un got 100% in the elections, and pretty much every one turned out to vote. However this is even better, as 99 is an auspicious number. And the remaining 1% just goes to show democracy is alive and well here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seabear Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 "Hello, we'd like to ask you some questions. Please speak into the gun" Don't need a gun.

JAG Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 As longer I stay here I feel like Thailand is not just becoming a military but a Communism state. Its sad really how one person can bring the country back to start from Zero. The Embassies must have a good time sending all those cables back to their capitals that Thailand is becoming a Banana Republic. The China model is the preferred system for all Asian countries. Western Democracy does NOT work in developing countries. And now Western economies are faltering they are starting to feel that pinch as well...

connda Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 The poll by the National Statistical Office, past of the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology, found that 99.3 percent of people surveyed were satisfied with the government's overall performance while 98.9 percent were confident in its abilities to solve the country's problems. I think I need to run that by the villagers in my village here in Northern Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuanku Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Obviously the clear and credible explanations they have had for every setback in 2015 have convinced almost the entire population that this military government is the best of all possible outcomes. General, please do not hold elections - ever - as no elected government could even approach a 99+% approval rating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill bet you would change your mind smartish if you found yourself waiting for the bullet in the back of the neck because you got on the wrong side of the party! Asiamaster. Both Koreas were poor and economically ravaged after WWII and The Korean War. Now one of them has a flawed western model and one of them has something more akin to The Chinese model. Ask the people of both countries what they'd prefer. I think the answer would be near unanimous (and it wouldn't be 100% we love Kim). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggt Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 The reason the Thai "govt" says that 99% of Thais are happy with their government...may be the same as why 100% say they are happy with Kim Jong-un and his N. Korean government... Love your non-elected government...or get on the govt radar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
