When she returns to the U.S Obama should put her over his knee and smack her bottom for just suggesting that there are pirated goods in Thailand.  

Pictures please !  Posted Image

Maybe a pirate DVD.

I wish the reds would see him for what he is. Used their deaths for his own self serving purposes and craps in their faces with the PM not even showing to give compensation. All about one man. So sad for the truly poor in Thailand.Posted Image

You are assuming they do not? Are you really so condescending toward the “poor”?
Ask yourself why do the Red shirts support Taksin? Why do the Red shirts not support Democrats?
Why was Taksin (who himself is an elite) kicked out of the circle of Elites club by the military?
If Red shirts don’t support Taksin, then who will the Redshirts support? Who will push their cause and stand up against the elites? If no one, then they are back to supporting Taksin and his political group.

The problem with your whole post is that you assumed Thaksin was on there side. The reason they supported him was because he promised them they would all be rich in 6 months he was going to improve there schools and any thing else they wanted right away.

While the democrats made no such promises they set things in motion to bring about those desires (other than the be rich in 6 months) but they would take a lot of time not just happen today as Thaksin led them to believe. Also you forget that 40 of their supporters were Thaksin trained and not that up on social justice. This was a big problem the Dem's had to work with.

As I see it the red shirts who blindly followed Thaksin fell into two camps the big one being the uneducated one's and the other one's receiving cash for there part in it.

As it stands now yes who are they going to follow Thaksin has been back in power now for about 10 months and all they have seen is prices going up. Give Abhist the kind of support that they gave Thaksin and they will begin to see results they will be able to see them not rely on talk.
Yes indeed who are they to follow they won't believe in Abhist because of the indoctrination that Thaksin's hired mouth pieces and goons fed them and they are slowly seeing that in 10 months they are still no better off.
No. In Thailand politics when it's the little people fighting for democracy against military run governments, then the little people will always end up dead, such as in 1973, 76 & 92. But in this case those same people realized that elites themselves were fighting against each other. Thaksin was taking on the establishment for whatever reason he was kicked out. There was a belief that supporting Thaksin, could result in change and they wouldn't be any worse of under Thaksin than the alternative. Remember, the red shirt movement only began after the coup. He was also the person that brought in universal affordable health care). In past 75 years of "democracy" there was nothing. The Redshirts are not stupid and only wanted long needed change from military totalitarianism. They chose Thaksin as there was no real alternative. Thaksin needed them, so it was an easy match.
Your reference to "uneducated" people demonstrates only how you feel superior to others, and is the way the elite maintain an impression that they are some how better than the lower classes. The Democrats have never offered anything to the poor except more of the same. The same "know you place in this (feudal) society" rhetoric.
Saying people are uneducated doesn't mean you think you're superior it just means they're uneducated. It may mean they just can't be bothered but equally it could be they haven't been given the education. I'm educated but not necessarily superior, just lucky.

Lady Gaga is a very young person without any important background of studies at university. She does not know Thailand, she does not care, she did not intend to be offensive. She is an excellent professional making a poor joke, that's it. She just repeats what she heard. Within 3 days, she'll have forgotten all about Thailand.

IF you (you are) going to make comments on someone's education and background, may i (I) suggest you get your grammar and language skills to a higher level.

She sure has more (enough) talent and education to have reached the four million mark in digital sales and have a second world tour

Maybe you should get your writing abilities up to par before you comment on another person's effort.   "More", in your usage, is comparative. You didn't compare it to anything. You should have written "more than enough" or simply "enough", as I have indicated in parenthesis.

Thanks for your time.

good to see yet another "qualified" teacherPosted Image  got a job yet?

I think you asked for that.
You don't need to be a qualified teacher to know that was wrong.

As for her comment it may well have been for publicity as although she is talented musically she keeps ahead of everyone but being outrageous  and provocative. It could be said to be irresponsible in that it might seem to support piracy but to suggest that it insults Thailand because it's not like that is ridiculous.

Contrast this to Abhisit who is prepared to give up immunity to answer any charges against him and Suthep. I assume he agreed to this as well which is a plus for him in my eyes as I don't really like his attitude but credit where it's due. I know it says Thaksin will get a retrial but I have little faith in that not ending in him getting away with it or going on for long enough for him to be so old he can just retire somewhere. If he is found guilty will he just run away like last time.

I was under the impression that all the evidence against Abhisit and the military was in place showing him to be guilty. If that's the case why not just get on with it?

There was no need to resign. If he had waited a bit, he would get a transfer to an inactive post which is much the same.


Resignation protects the pension? - Only in Thailand.
I seem to remember there were cases in the UK where police officers who were going to be investigated were signed off as being unfit to work because of some illness or disabilty and I'm sure they would have got their pension. It was dicovered that a lot of them suddenly became able to work and got jobs outside the force. I think it's been stopped noe though.
