How about cracking down on idiots who put after market white or blue coloured brake lights on the back of their cars?

Silly me! When I read the headline, I thought this article was about the computers for kids. Too many scams, conspiracies and corruption to keep up with....555

Have you walked in the MRT and BTS? Thais drive the same way they walk. Education would never help these people. I'm convinced it's genetic.

I believe the thinking behind that rather porous law was to prevent alcohol being sold to minors during the hours they are returning from school. It was a blanket law that supposedly orders all liquor outlets to not sell alcohol between 1400hrs and 1700hrs.
All major stores such as Tesco, Big C, Tops, Makro, 7-11 etc comply. The small "mom & pop" stores in every soi usually do not, because they either know the buyer or need the sales.
Personally I have never been refused a beer purchase at several small shops in my area during those 'restricted' hours.
The law inconveniences tourists, and the adult population who may be shopping at that time of day. It causes a huge loss of revenue to these larger companies.
You mention "LOGIC"   I assume you live in Thailand?  If you do, you know the answer.

Just a heads up.  There is a Free App on the Android Market that is a lot of fun.  I've had great fun winding up my Wife, Maid and Mother In Law with this.

Perfect for Thailand, it makes the sounds of a Tokay Gecko, and has random and timer functions so you can hide your phone and have it go off at various intervals.

Anyway, for those interested, it is here:-

I'm sure there's a 7/11 in or near the parliament buildings.  The MPs can easily stock up before 2pm for the afternoon.

Phone rings. I answer

Me: Hello
Caller: Haroooooor
Me: Hello
Caller: Haroooooor
Me: Yes, hello
Caller: Harooooooor
Me: Cry poot krap
Caller: Haroooooor
Me: Pom poot prasat Thai g'dai krap
Caller: Haroooooor
Me: say hello once more and I'll hang up
Caller: .................................................. Harooooor

End of converstion

I said it in 2006 and again in 2008 and 2010, its a hostile take over of the Thailand corporation.  A revolution not for democracy or justice nor for liberty, but for the money and the power.

• In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women.
  
• Tony Montana

Seems to be the grand plan

Let's be quite clear what k. Wattana is suggesting. Should an MP be accused of a CRIMINAL offence rather than that being referred to an independent court, instead he would face impeachment. The matter would then be dealt with by parliamentary process. Of course, if he was a government MP, the vote would be lost.

If the criminal in question happened to be the PM (who reportedly also holds resignation letters from his MPs) he could literally get away with murder. Or rampant corruption, without facing a 2 year jail sentence.

This runs with Thaksin and PTP's (and associated sycophants') views on Democracy; once an election is won, by fair means or foul, the government has the right to do whatever it wishes until the next election. Checks and balances only hinder an elected government, especially when it comes to pillage.
