soongmak Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Soongmak, Difficult to discuss when you don't have a firm grasp of the facts or events. It is not my habit to discuss things without studying it first. Just because I don't see it your way, doesn't mean I don't understand what's going on. The situation in Thailand is not that hard to understand. If you look through the smoke screens, it is obvious that there is a power struggle going on. The fact is that the majority of the voters in Thailand do not get heard now, simply because they vote in a way that is obviously not appreciated by the ruling class and Bangkok middle class. Are the red shirts getting manipulated? Yes. Are their leaders thugs? Yes. Does that mean they have no democratic rights? No. Simple as that.

shygye Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 You describe the yellow shirt rabble as concerned citizens! So you agree that the Democrat party should be disbanded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please explain, with facts, avoiding rhetoric and hyperbole, why you think the majority of voters in Thailand do not get heard. TH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 It always amazes me how people who don't live in Thailand know so much more than those of us who do. And those who don't speak Thai know more than those who are fluent and work with Thais every day. Oh, shit ... now I'm sounding like OH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know you are part of the inner circle of yellow shirts, red shirts, military, and Democrat party. Thanks for warning us about the assassination.
