    Boot camp programme for warring vocational students in Ayutthaya

    Representatives of students from four vocational colleges in Ayutthaya province which are infamous for frequent scuffles and other violent activities in the public will be put together for re-education to change their violent behavior at a boot camp in Nakhon Nayok.

    The three-day behaviourial rehabilitation is part of the programme to return happiness to the society and parents jointly organized Ayutthaya provincial administration and the police.

    Twenty-five student leaders who are prone to violence from each of the four colleges namely Ayutthaya Technical College, Ayutthaya College of Technology and Ship-building Industry, Ayutthaya Technology College and Ayutthaya Commercial College will be selected to join the programme under the close supervision of police and military instructors and psychologists.

    After the completion of the three-day programme, all the 100 student representatives will be made goodwill ambassadors who promote and encourage their peers at the colleges to refrain from violence and to take part in social activities together.

    What is it with Asians and their re-education camps?

    Are they all that crude they think behaviour can be unlearned because of some political imperative?

    It's a camp where they'll go through the farce of " reconciliation " or get their heads kicked in.

    The Asian capacity for totalitarian abuse is inexhaustible.

    The point with these youthful proto gangsters is that their allegiance to each other is simply an exercise in social development and provides an outlet which is not available in other circumstances. They know they are not very bright, are hopelessly ill educated and can look forward to a future of providing fodder for a machine which offers no grounds for hope that their futile little lives will amount to more than a hill of beans.

    Thai adolescents have no opportunity to engage in team sports. Rivalry cannot be channelled into physical competition simply because for most kids there is fuck all in the way of organised sports, amenities or the will to benefit from such character building.

    Thai simply haven't got a society where they are prepared to invest time and effort in something as intangible as that and instead expect children to conform with some crudely imposed discipline until they become suitably conditioned drones for their ghastly society founded upon meek compliance and servility towards higher echelons.

    If only the British had decided Thailand was worth the effort to exploit.

    They may well be playing cricket and rugby now.

    ...and masquerading behind a façade of high tea and crumpets.

    Easier and cheaper to expel any monkey found have engaged in violent behavior, with the possible exception of self defense.

    Then they have no school to defend and can get started with their 300 Baht a day careers.
