Seeing as you don't live in Thailand, don't believe everything the foreign media tells you HB.
Many friends overseas send me political articles about Thailand from their media.
Foreign journalists here are:
1. Bangkok centric
2. Linguistically out-of-touch with the UDD/Red Shirt Movement
3. Linguistically in-touch with anti-Thaksin journalists who are an extention of coupists. People who have signed onto the self-serving, coupist criminalization program of their's.
4. Are in social circles of their own kind, or with journalists from the propagandist domestic media
5. Frequently paraphrase or simply copy stuff from the domestic, anti-Red Shirt media. I see identical thought patterns every time I read their overseas rhetoric. When talking to friends and family over there, they sound like PADites, just like you.
Something just struck me, and I need to ask a question Calgary, what is you level of spoken and written Thai? Do you attend you UDD meetings and have full, fluent access to the proceedings, or are you going through an interpreter? How is your reading of Thai? Are you at the menu level of reading or at the academic paper level? Just curious.Quote:

He ignores the fact that some of us have spent more than half of our lives here, speak read & write fluent Thai, have acquired Thai Citizenship, etc.
And the irony is he calls *us* mushrooms! :)

Sorry Gerbil, I missed that, with Calgary I just skip his childish rants most of the time because they are just so, er, childish and full of nonsense. Now we know that he can't speak Thai it is even worse - he is getting everything filtered or from the English Language media! Amazing really, why would anyone make a tit out of themselves on that scale like that? Reading Thai to an intermediate level is necessary to get a balanced view of Thai politics. Jesus, how the hell can people take anyone seriously if they hold the views of Calgary but do not understand Thai?Quote:

The 30-baht "healthcare"?
The Water buffalo?
The "war on drugs"?
Or was it mobile phone masts and cheap calls?
But if you can't speak and read Thai, how the hell do you know what the message is? You are giving us mushroom interpretations of the message - purely for the fact that you are ALWAYS getting filtered content.Quote:

I doubt it's more complex than that.
Harry, I would love to actually know the circumstance of Calgary's 'knowledge'. It would seem that he is indeed caught in a world he doesn't understand and is receiving 'the message' through other parties. Calgary the mushroom, who would have thunk it...
He hears voices you know..... :rolleyes:Quote:

He's just plain stark staring bonkers.
Feel free to highlight that Calgary is:
Actually just regurtitating someone else's views
Is a troll
Has never 'actually spoken' to any red shirts himself.
But please don'r refer to his wife as a bint.
It's not necessary and it detracts from your message which is a good one.
I've got some time off work coming up, and I'm always willing to learn new things, get a different view of life.
It would, I think, be instructive to attend one of these Red Village shin-digs, having Calgery along as a guide to share his inside knowledge would be great.
Any chance Calgery of an invite to one of your regular meetings with the local Red Shirt brass?
We have and we think you are a fool.
Discussing anything with you is pointless, so laughing at your blindness is more fun and less frustrating for some.
I warned you, and you've brought it on yourself.
the problem is you don't have a message, just some schizophrenic delusional rant
seriously Calgary, you need to take meds for your condition, a lot of people like you have normal lives under medical treatment, you will see the world in a different light, not the scary world you are trying to project and defend yourself from.
