A quote from some Minister today made me smile. He said: “ Everyone has their rights and freedoms, but they must respect the rights and freedoms of others”. I just think that trying to explain freedom of expression and the rights of people to Thai military appointed Ministers is like trying to explain particle physics to my dog. Except my dog would show more willingness to learn.

Reading these stories I am repeatedly struck that for a country where a single religion is so strong and all levels of people participate in, can be so set on punishing others, even after they have apologised and taken action to avoid a repeat.

It seems from my reading that many of those in power in this matter subscribe to Buddhism when it suits them but are seemingly not prepared to entertain the beliefs of forgiveness until they have extracted retribution.

Unfortunately, due to the level of hatred being displayed and the longer the media releases, a peaceful resolution will always carry the suspicion that inducements were accepted by some to quell their anger.
