Rorri Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 6 hours ago, wayned said: IMHO I disagree that the baht wins. Respect is something that is earned not given, and the King has definitely earned that respect not only by Thai's but many others worldwide including me. But that respect is in one's heart and how a person shows that respect should be that person's choice and not mandated by others. I don't think that closing businesses and putting people out of work so that their entire family suffers is how someone that earned that respect would want it shown. I think you missed my point, as the original closures/suspensions etc, were to show respect. I agree, respect is in ones heart, but we have seen many instances where even the colour of your clothes can get you into trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that where you come from there are no bars, 'and worse', whatever that is? If there are bars and worse in your neck of the woods I suppose that makes just as clear a statement about your country's society...and your brother.

JAG Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Yes tourism rears it head again. The dollar doves of tourism were flying out the window to adjoining countries and that would never do Of course it does, it is people's livings, incomes, rent, food on the table. It has nothing to do with respect and everything to do with people trying to make a living in a volatile business environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJohnson Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Just make a decision, any decision, and stick to it. It is lack of certainty, as much as anything else, that is exacerbating the situation. It is pretty clear there was no contingency plan for this event.

Geez, some people just want to argue over anything, no matter how ridiculous, this who gist, on my comment, was baht v respect, and you decide to take it somewhere else... grow up, no wonder the world is a mess, with people like you around.

"Bluespunk" made a perfectly reasonable comment on your post, , pointing out some of the implications of what you were suggesting. Your over the top reaction, simply because he saw fit to disagree with you, rather suggests that it is you who has "lost the plot". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
