Ironically, a recent ASEAN human rights report compared the present administration with 1990's Myanmar, perhaps it was a compliment!

I don't know how to reach reconciliation, by suppressing all political activity and freedom of speach ????
In a way, shut up, we will decide for everything. So expect some more powerful bombs....

Personally I say give the military a chance to sort things out. Corruption is a cancer that enslaves the majority for the benefit of the few. And what exactly do you mean by freedom of speech? It certainly does not exist in the UK.

In Thailand, it's only a cancer, when the wrong people are in charge.

Ok, I get it, corruption is ok when politicians you approve of are in charge. Is corruption worse now than it was before the military took control ?

Well, I certainly never said that.

I just don't believe the rhetoric.

There is no real way of knowing, the military has been hugely corrupt in the past.

Careful, you will get labelled as a CT (Conspiracy Theorist). They don't like them on this forum and drive 'em off :naughty:
