rogueyam Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Talk to the hand. The unassailable proof is in the shape of the economy after 30 years of GOP control. Only a fool would characterize thirty years of history by a single snapshot in time. Further, only someone ignorant of history would insist that the present situation is clearly worse than the joblessness and inflation of the late 1970s. America and Americans are far wealthier now than we were in 1978. We have a country that is materially better off in most ways by far. We have better health care, better transportation, better communications and information technology, more and better food, better homes, better clothing and personal effects, better universities, more leisure, more and better entertainment, etc., etc. The main thing that is worse is that there are more leftist retards, they hold greater power, and they tell ever bigger lies. But we will survive this too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekong Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 OK its early Sunday morning and I am nursing a hangover the size of a medium country but I do not understand why the fux a Thread about Thailands political situation has gone on a tangent to US Politics. I don't give a daffy duck about US politics so please stop poisoning our board with this shite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekong Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Back on Topic Major demonstration last night at Klong Toei Market at 9:30PM, southbound lane of Ratchada was shut. At midnight Rama IV was backed up well past Silom but fortunatley I had a Taxi driver who could understand my bad Thai and followed my directions via the sub sois.

Flashermac Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Any violence so far? It's amazing that 1) PAD can continue to occupy Government House and 2) PDD can attack them with grenades and nothing be done against them over it. At times it looks like there is no functioning government - especially when the honest, well liked guv of Bangkok was forced to resign over something Samak did. Can't say the courts play favourites.

Pom Michael Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 That protest at Klongtoey market has been going on for a few weeks now. So with the PAD mob, this Klongtoey mob and for a day we even had the SET mob disrupting traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 PM I agree that the KT protest has been going on for a few days now but its the first time I have seen Ratchada closed, they have cranked it up. I will avoid the area later today when I go out and about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
