6NS Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I think this sort of thing would effect simple little things like Poles. Is a pole not asking you to chose which position you like. For instance. A pole may (and apparently has been cast, and 99% were in-favor of this government) be asking,,,, Are you in favor of 1) this government or 2) or having a free election In my opinion, I think it too broad to be a cause of guilt of braking any free world law.

mrrizzla Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 He said Thai people had been used to limitless freedom, which had caused society to become disorganised. Something had to be done to stop people from exercising their free will without enough consideration about others, he added. There you have it folks. This is the regime some of you begged for. Funny thing is I see lots of the ones that begged give these threads a wide berth and only post in red shirt related threads. Funny that. I actually think they are going to try and block Facebook. Nations like China, North Korea and Vietnam got in there early. Facebook has immense popularity in Thailand and it scares these dinosaurs to death because they cannot control it. It'll be hilarious to see the reaction when they try. I reckon some point next year they'll try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect others understand ( reluctantly maybe ) the implications of banning it.If the banners have there way it might be what causes the wheels to fall off? Personally I suspect it will be " temporarily suspended" in due course, as being "inappropriate for a nation in mourning.

klauskunkel Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 It is obviously very easy for the police to classify an internet post as a crime. Then they wait to entrap as many 'likers' as they can get. Another easy peazy, don't get out of your chair, enjoy the aircon, job for the BiB. Oh, and the police is in no danger at all, or having to do any physical activity, as opposed to when they had to solve real crimes. And the arrest numbers can justify any demand for budget increases. All in all, maybe the BiB is not so dumb... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Fascism is intolerant of dissent. We tried very hard to fabricate the polls that showed 99% of the people were happy with us. Judging by the number of people who are liking subjects that are critical of us, it appears the people did not buy that line of crap. We are upset when they do not buy our nonsense. People are supposed to be gullible, and believe anything. Vlad the Impaler, of Russia told us the people would buy the fake poll numbers, like the ones he has been using for a decade. We are not very good at this PR thing, so we have to use whatever means we can to try to put a nice face on this nasty pursuit of ours. If you don't like us, you are against us. What a minute. Didn't I hear that somewhere before? Oh, maybe it was the original fascist, Tiny George II? Or was it Mussolini? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuanku Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 The Kingdom's current socio-political situation is abnormal and stringent law enforcement in society is needed to keep the country orderly and organised, Olarn added. There is no crueler tyranny than that which is perpetuated under the shield of law and in the name of justice. Charles de Montesquieu When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know, the end result is tyranny and oppression no matter how holy the motives. Robert A. Heinlein Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. C. S. Lewis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim walker Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Its a military junta running Thailand of course it should be a crime if anyone likes a derogatory comment against the soldier boys or police running Thailand and all people who like from abroad should also be locked up for good with no chance of parole and the internet shut down in the offending country for punishment for allowing citizens to have an opinion, all foreign citizens must follow the flawless Thai way for gracious behaviour or be dammed forever.
