I must say, really, that these sort of people are the product of our molly-coddled environment .... mercernary, totally selfish ....
but I suppose there are all sorts of people in every society ... in every conflict there are people who'd go down fighting, and there are people who'd go down on their knees to suck the invader's .....
sorry for being crude ... but this issue really gets me going ...
But I find the apathy amazing O.O

I mean, its bad enough they're hum ji, but to try and justify it in the manner they are doing.......
Originally posted by elindra:But I find the apathy amazing O.O
actually, we are not as bad as say, taiwan or south korea ....
NSmen would whine and complain and bitch about reservists and in camp every year, but when it comes to the crunch, most of them would do their duty ....
I have exercised with NS unkers as the opfor before .... it's an amazing sight to see a pot-bellied unker charge full tilt at you, screaming hokkien vulgarities, carrying a heavy general purpose machine gun .....
the old school unkers in their 30s and 40s today, with their wives and kids, their houses and properties ... they'll fight when asked too ....
state of emergency declared~

your only hope is that a coup happens within the next 24 hours, the army steps in, throw out somchai, and the PAD nutters go home ....
else you should look at refunding your tix liao ... ![]()

That's because the pot-bellied uncle knows that if they don't protect the country, they are going to lose their loved ones etc. They have a hell lot of things to lose. Family, friends, memories, the blood and sweat they have put in to build what Singapore is today.
Those apathic buggers don't feel a thing because they think they have nothing to lose and why should they lay down their life for a country who don't give them anything?

PAD ? ...
that'll never happen ....
they can take over the airport and behave with such impunity because someone much higher has given tacit approval .....
they want somchai out ....

nope
that's what you think.
I think the people are unhappy with the recent PAD act by locking down the airports
Thailand thrives on tourism and by their very actions, it's like breaking their rice bowls
bring it one level down
even the queen's support of PAD is wavering with the most recent actions
its like, u go to work, u have a 'godfather' protecting u
there is a certain amount of 'guai lan'-ness you can dish out to people.
once u step out of it, even the 'godfather' can't save you

confirmed people are pissed. even those who are not affected by tourism are pissed.
with the king's backing or not, PAD has played this hand totally wrong
i'm predicting that IF the military don't take action, they might dump the current army chief, swap with one who will do something.
either way, a retaliation force is supposedly gathering at Isaan to move to BKK

Well they have effectively screwed up a lot of businesses and let the world view Thailand in a totally different light

Retaliation force?
What do they plan to do.... storm the airport? ![]()
i'm waiting for the people to get so pissed off that they go and beat the shit out of all the PAD people spontaneously

thailand is STILL ok.
the PAD isn't. kinda like a big scale CSJ and majority of the country is against him.
i'm hoping for good exchange rates now.

from the info given, to storm BKK and kick PAD out.
this is like the Battle of the Bulge for the PAD. if they don't succeed at all, they are gonna be finished.

the taxi drivers already put on red bandanas and throw stones at the PAD ![]()

only the PAD are so free to do all this because the rich are giving them money to stage all this.

Even if they succeed and do oust the ruling premier..... I believe that PAD will still be kaput in the long run.
Whatever goodwill and sympathy they had went up in flames by this act of madness.
What's the point of them ousting the grand pooh-bah if they don't have any street cred? And whatever street cred they had with the average Joe got busted when they chose to smash their rice bowls.
woohoo. watching the bare wench project now. its like blair witch but with naked chicks.
