mikebell Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 As nobody listens to his broadcasts, we would not know about this were it not for the above report. Is there a Thai version for the population to read? Oh ....Thais don't read. So he's preaching in a vacuum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janhkt Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 To quote: You don't need religion to have morals. If you can't determine right from wrong, you lack empathy, not religion. Only bad things happen when you mix church and state. Keep them separated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM07 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Exactly, dear PM! Spirituality is what the country needs! More stupidly grinning drivers, who got saved by amulets! More hokuspokus like trees, giving away lottery numbers! More wais before little houses with heaps of red Fanta in front of them! Overall more made up BS, to keep the masses in tow!

glenmohr Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 5 hours ago, Thechook said: I think it has more to do with with hiso's like Suthep, his mates and the military turning against the people and constantly staging coups if their people don't win. “I just want you to be thoughtful about the country a bit and have conscience enough to be able to think of some religious principles that we can apply to our present political problems,” he said. Why doesn't prayuth listen to his own words? An international survey quoted Thailand as the most religious country in the world. Prayut wants more religion or spirituality when those 2 things are often the root cause of conflict in other regions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yingluck cried a bit last week. That's it. Why does the man insist all the time that there is turmoil? What's he prepping for? Well, if you buy a new Porsche or Ferrari you definitely want to check it out on the road. Maybe its not different if you buy a couple of armoured carriers for Bt2.3 bn from China.

Maybe it can start at the top? Before the Thai were Buddhist they were spirit worshippers maybe he is looking back to a golden age? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natway09 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Dear Sir, With all due respect you have got this one wrong,,,, do you know what the "root of all evil is "? The haves & the have not gap is just too large. It has become almost a cast system here & with all the corruption & lies allows those in the system to bend it so the wealth slides into their own pockets What does a General get paid annually ? Multiply by 60, & that is your wealth ? See what I mean ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhizBang Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Greed, lack of honesty, morality and ethics, not to mention the total inability to compromise. Throw in an abysmal education system and you have the foundation of Thainess. Now throw in hi-sos who think they are above the law and a military who takes it's orders from them and you have "modern" Thailand. Religion does NOT come into this equation at all.
