Yes Giles is pro-Marxist-democracy - must have missed that chapter in Pol-Sci.

DESTRUCTIVE TALK, sorry!

Mr. Giles perhaps should learn how to give constructive critism in a more calm and loving way. To me, his biased ideas have no concrete supporting evidence at all. All the Thai people I know love their King wholeheartely.

Socialism hasn't worked in New Zealand - all it has done is produce a socially dependant underclass - to bring in a Socialist government is not the answer in Thailand. I look at the education system there and compare it to New Zealand. There is a lot more opportunity to go to Uni in Thailand than there is here. Ok, it will take a while for the benefits to work through society but it will happen.

Hello, perhaps you want to review the program and law system I engineered, both for the economy and the Government ? law4 . org This also comprises revolutionary mechanisms, and now you are divided between capitalists and plan-economists, however both systems will not work and cause repression. The system developed here is free trade, but not for land, investment capital, or companies, because these things do not work in a free market. Good luck. Monarchy ? The system even has that of a sort.

Don't even laugh mate,i'm not kidding you.Sirikit already knew she's fat and overweight.Don't you dare say she's a ton of fun...

[MaoSuratt911]

One can't even say the queen of thailand is tons of fun,because the word " TONS " alone insinuated that she's a fat blue whale and that could land you 18 long years behind bar....
