Are 91% Of Facebook Users Really Unhappy With The Thai Government?

[JHolmesJr]

Frankly, who cares who is in charge there?

Veni Vidi Veni, as they say…..and then Im off to saner pastures.

The good ol' general might just be playing a saddam hussein-esque role in all this.

Keeping a tight control of all the peasants who want to go off and do their own thing…unchecked.

If anyone can root out corruption and the corrupt way of thinking among these folks, it might be the General

who has the best chance. The politicians are just despicable.

I give the good general a 'like'.

You only have to look how the park issue was handled to work out how much the General cares about cracking down on corruption, especially within their own ranks.

I saw a clip about Saddam on CNN years ago and have been looking for it forever on Youtube but can't find it.

Some guy was squalling (as they do in Arabic songs - it had subtitles), "It's about the love Sir! The love between you and us" over and over and over.

Saddam won one hundred percent of the vote. He was the only candidate.

If anybody can ever find a clip of that on Youtube please PM me with the link.

I'm sure those 91% of unhappy FB users are all allocated in the 1.7% that voted unhappy in the government held poll.

Obvious that just about all the posters on this subject have not got a clue, probably many never having ever been here ! For any normal law abiding person here, this is about the best ever government since Khun Anand Panyarachun briefly took the reins many years ago

Forget Khun Anand, he was wet, lefty liberal, this is about the best ever Government since Thanin Kraivichien in 1976!

Yes, Thanin fits in pretty well with the current bunch.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanin_Kraivichien

After his taking office, he sent police special forces to notoriously liberal book shops, and ordered the confiscation and burning of 45,000 books, including works of Thomas More, George Orwell and Maxim Gorky.^[4]

I think it's fair to say that nobody believes or considers Facebook to be a reputable source when it comes to polls or information.

Garbage. .......

The last poll I saw measuring people's happiness(I think from memory it said 98% of people were happy) came from another source that is probably less reputable when it comes to polls or information(or anything else).

While I utterly despise Farcebook as a STUPID idea (sharing everything with all and sundry), the masses do seem to love it.

The company makes billions off of peoples' opinions and interests. That's how they sell advertising.

I'd say it's the most accurate poll one could ever hope for.

Is it safe to comment on this one ?

Nooo...

I'd wager that 80% of the world are wet, lefty liberals, who have no idea what a liberal is, which is NOT a liberal, but a socialist.

When you tell them that, they'll just pout like some beach vendor/pest in Pattaya if you don't buy their shit.

They have somehow hijacked the name though, so now we are called Libertarians.

[Jimbo2014]

No what wait what. Quick get that one gateway finished so everyone is swimming in facebook happiness. A few more arrests can't hur either.

[seajae]

wow, an anti govt page asks its readers if they like the govt and get these results, yes that really does make it unbiased and really must be what 91% of the govt haters really think, now lets ask a pro govt page what they think to get an even balance of opinions........

[candide]

Impossible to draw any definitive conclusion from this poll as it doesn't follow any scientific protocol, i.e no representative sample, etc...

[Happy Grumpy]

91% unhappy with a regime/system that has dismantled the previous 4 democratically elected governments, and is snatching people off the street and trying them in closed military courts?

I find that hard to believe.

[nong38]

Facebook is just idle chit chat, what on earth would there be on there to offend the powers that be, car crashes, people falling over drunk, animal tricks, pictures of temples etc etc, yes a grave threat to National Security. Cannot understand why people are addicted to it.

Tropical fever maybe??? Any other clues?

Over impressed by tight uniforms, patriotic ballads and purple silk safari jackets perhaps?

But not too bothered by the loss of basic freedoms, human and political rights and the ability of the Thai people to choose their own government?

Ok I can't read Thai but www.prachamati.org does NOT look like a pro government page.

I am not junta fan at ALL but let us at least be factual here. All it says to me is that this poll has as much traction as the 'Nida 99.9% happiness' polls. Utterly ridiculous.

The differences is we are treated to the Nida ones far more often

[connda]

Only if 91% of Facebook Users plan to occupy their new home in Thailand jails.

Oh just go to Youtube and search 'those extra judicially murdered by the US government for self interest' yourself

[arrowsdawdle]

Its about as accurate as any other poll in Thailand i presume.

Was it Voltaire who said, "Presumption is man's greatest obstacle to wisdom?"

Considering how local Thai polls are skewed by the threats of prison for expressing their opinions, or for publishing unapproved news, this Facebook poll is likely skewed by generals and their secretaries who undoubtedly went in and repeatedly clicked the smiley face as a countermeasure.

[stickyrice2000]

I am afraid Thavisa might get contact for attitude adjustment on this post. LOL

Unlike the junta sponsored polls eh?

Such niaivity or trolling, can't work out which.

[berybert]

Prachamati.org's staff have exposed the unhappiness of the Thai people. A spell in jail might be in order.

I suspect the present treacherous "leader" is way too soft for your rabid right wing mindset.

Hey - Adolf Hitler is too soft for my rabid right wing mindset...............it was sarcasm, dummy

[gandalf12]

I think the majority of people would be a lot happier if the notorious traffic jams in Bangkok and elsewhere was resolved. High speed trains? Dont need them but do need the traffic jams being resolved.
