Hawk Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Thais no longer have any confidence in a government that relies on strongarm tactics and #44 to subdue the population. Corruption and crime are business as usual, and always will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orac Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I believe there is still a proviso in place that people can only participate in groups of four or less still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceruhe Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Dear Goverment and Others I am but a simple rice farmer, however, I really care about my country like most other fellow citizens too. Your request to solve issues togehter has struck deep down with me and I would like to express my motivation help in whatever way I can. Aside from that, I also am working on some regional solutions to fight our yearly battle against draughts and floodings, which is progressing although a bit too slow. Having followed your weekly happiness broadcasts and literally swimming in the happiness which was returned to me, and 97%+ agreeing with that, I have a few suggestions to make to solve our problems, which can be discussed in details and be refined even further with people more knowledgeable than myself in their respective fields of expertise. As mentioned, I whole heartedly listen to everything being said, however with just earlier today's threat to get summoned for not 110% agreeing with the junta drafted constitution, I'm scared to voice my opinion over something that doesn't exactly match my opinion or concern about a few things. To save manpower, I will visit an attitude adjustment camp in the upcoming days voluntarily as soon as I can be assured my crops are doing fine for a few days. I am confident as soon as I got my adjustment, my happiness will increase even more and that my concerns over dubious, misleading, space for interpretationand flat out suppressive laws were indeed just misunderstanding on my part. With that said, I will be brainwashed soon and can just agree with everything you guys say, taking the blame for needing to solve our problems togehter whilst not being able to speak up without getting reprimanded, thus I wish to express my full support in whatever is being decided and will not have to bother you with my presence as I had envisioned above. I with the best of luck to your plans. Sincerely, Everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Loh Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Reply by Sansern. Dear Ceruhe, you didn't state which part of Thailand you from. If you are from the North, I suggest that you make that voluntary visit to the AA camp nearest to your home. Your sarcasm is not appreciated. However if you are a rubber framer in the south, we will be happy to consider the good points in your letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayduke Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Some countries encourage participation in government problem solving by facilitating information availability and advocating open discourse on issues. Or even by occasionally having events where people vote on things. Not saying those are good ideas or anything...just heard it somewhere. But nah, probably doesn't work. Never mind.

Srikcir Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Internal Security Operation Command aims to take responsibility in non-traditional threats, including illicit drugs, trafficking in persons, illegal immigration, terrorism and deforestation. In 2015 former ISOC Army Lieutenant General Manus Kongpan together with three mid-level ISOC officers were arrested for human trafficking. Manus was described as a smuggling kingpin. To date no trials or convictions. Thank you ISOC for your participation in solving the nation's problems - finding free labor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reigntax Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Has anyone suggested to him that 'he might be the problem' Exactly. He wants the people to solve the countrys problems because he is too busy looking after the financial interests of the military, the elite and hisos.

tigermoth Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 How can the public possibly participate in solving the countries problems? To solve a problem you need criticism of that problem and that has been ruled out by the Junta or face a jail term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
