boomerangutang Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 It's rather like the boy in the tree house with his 6 year old pals: "I brought the toys to the tree house, so I'm not leaving even if you hate me." ....and all the other boys are supposed to say, "oh no, we don't hate you."

elgordo38 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 You got to love this guy he is the gift that just keeps on giving. I have given up reading the comics in the newspaper because of him. Seriously I think he is serious about staying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgordo38 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 For all his bravado and shouting he has not fixed one problem in this country... A high ranking cop & his cronies sent to jail, finally sorted out the lottery price, some people in Phuket just been jailed over land issues, cleaned up Surin beach, army guy & others arrested for human trafficking, many other cases pending. He may not be perfect but has done more than previous governments. a whole lot more than any previous government I agree these were most certainly life threatening issues and were stopped just in time.

IMHO, guys like this are not 'straight shooters' but are 'compensators', compensating for something. Usually it's not hard to guess what they're compensating for, as in this case.

phycokiller Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 This self appointed leader who refuses to quit could become one the great leaders along side Chavez and Mugabe - those magnificent leaders of Venezuela and Zimbabwe. Would be totally awesome if Thailand could model their country on those other 2 nations. strangely enough in Cambodia the propaganda is pushing people to believe that Syria and Lybya were great countries brought down by their acceptance of human rights, so it seems they do admire those kind of leaders in this part of the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beautifulthailand99 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Scary thing for me is how will he react if there is an uprising.

Jimbo2014 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 The mans confidence in himself is truly inspiring. Not sure the rest of the nation shares that confidence after the past 2 years but whatever... its either agree or spend a few years reconsidering your point of view in less salubrious surroundings.

Even the devil longs for sympathy at times, but sympathy for the devil is fuel for the flame. Alma Katsu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomerangutang Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Every time he strolls around in public, there are men and (particularly) women clustered around, smirking their support. Anything/everything he says elicits grins and nods of approval from his entourage. I wouldn't doubt he speaks in that typically Thai high nasal tone, which pretends to be self-effacing and (hoped-for) humorous. It works fine for with Thais, .....the Thais that bind.
