October 30, 20169 yr OK ..not directed at USA citizens, but seriously perhaps the worlds major power has a democracy that looks like a joke, a week out from election. Also so many USA expats here critize junta in Thailand. Ha
October 30, 20169 yr I agree, it's hard to believe that in a population of nearly 320 million that the two candidates are the best that the US can produce. Shameful.
October 31, 20169 yr I used to suggest to some of my students that Thailand should have debates before elections. Not right now after this US farce.An immature idiotic egoist against a dull big corporationist with endless bickering and personal slurs. Yongyuth once said it was not Thai style in reference to a proposed AbhisitYingluk encounter, this US election can only enforce that unfortunate viewpoint.
October 31, 20169 yr I would have thought the UK is currently the biggest laughing stock in the world. What a total mess. I'm completely ashamed to be British. Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect

Maybe your students could discuss the purpose of the Thai Army. Then, you could visit them in jail.

October 31, 20169 yr 26 minutes ago, Kwasaki said: Why ? Because the UK has just shot itself in the foot.............just to see what would happen. The bloke who was mainly responsible for this decided to stop running the country and hand-over to an unelected person who was secretly glad that the trigger was pulled. Meanwhile, the opposition is trying to drag the UK kicking and screaming back to the 1960's and 70's. This after the party was hijacked by a hard left minority (UK's answer to tea-partiers) and had their own candidate become party leader. Just to show you what a complete muppet this party leader is, he thought having nuclear submarines on patrol without it's usual compliment of nuclear tipped missiles, as a viable deterrent to nuclear attack.

October 31, 20169 yr I have to say it is quite embarrassing. The system is not asking the US voters to pick the best candidate, It is asking them to pick the lesser of two evils. Hardly a win in any case, everybody loses this time. I am glad I am living here and not there. There is something about watching it all unfold from afar and of course not voting for either of those 2 asshats.
October 31, 20169 yr And why - looking from outside - laugh about the two candidates? "Concern", "fear", "shaking head" would better describe what I think. Laughing stopped after "him" being nominated. No laughing about him after he proposes all kind of torture methods as legitimate.
October 31, 20169 yr As an American myself I have to say the answer is an unequivocal "yes" based on the reactions of my non-American buddies here. However I'd rather be the citizen of a country where I'm free openly to laugh at authority figures rather than be a citizen of a country ruled by an unelected military junta that locks dissenters up

Don't see it like that England should of pulled out sooner and leave the Scots and Nth.Irish and now the turncoat Welsh to stew in Europe that would be fine with me.

I agree that the US Presidential elections is a worldwide embarrassment. But let's be honest. It's only an embarrassment because of Donald Trump. The guy is a total joke, and not in a funny kind of way. So it's not a "lesser of two evils." Hillary Clinton wins and we continue onwards, no major change to the status quo...which is a positive. Trump wins and we have a genuine brainless dictator. Now that's evil.

Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect I was against Brexit, but I accept the decision of the majority. We will have some rough times, but the UK will prosper again. If you are really ashamed you can gain citizenship elsewhere and renounce your British citizenship.

Things may be rough for awhile but in the long run it will be well worth it. People are voting for the things Trump is promising, not for the man. With Clinton as president socialism in the US will spiral out of control.
