Pack fresh underwear, a toothbrush and a spare liver in case you accidentally rupture the one you have. And stay away from ledges. Rope too...

I had great respect for the Chinese who STOOD THEIR GROUND IN THE SQUARE some years back, and clearly SAID NO! Is it a far fetched possibility that the THAI PEOPLE MAY someday do the same? I don’r know... But, isn’t it a beautiful dream?! One would have to wonder, what would happen if the Thais gained some self-respect!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what was the outcome of the Chinese .. are they free now.. i guess not. So if you want to get killed for nothing.. have fun. I would not care less about voting as long as there was a good economy and I was making money. Just look at Maslov his hierarchy of needs. I can assure you voting is not high up there. So in a country like this its no big deal until other needs are fulfilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly, I have great doubts that the same results as was for the Chinese would be for the Thais. The Thai people are much stronger once they make up their minds!
