Joy

I didn't make a stereotypical attack nor mockery on all Thais. My comment included the mass media photographers association and the parties involved in the award judgement, media involved 'Thai Rath', all parties presented at the scene, all parties agreed and praised the bogus process, and all those who agreed with the violence inflicted upon the victim, all those who agreed with violent line of thought. There will be some Thais including Joy yourself spared.

These people of which I presumed are mostly Buddhists( statistically ), did violate the basic forbiddens. Firstly they inflicted assualt attack against others, or approve the assualt. Secondly, they cheated and lied to others barefacedly. Not to mention the ignoring of practicing Kalama sutta( which seems to be indispensable nowadays ). I think some farangs enthusiasts are far more better Buddhists. To be honest, Buddhism is deemed critical in Thailand, Burma, Srilanka than anywhere else in the world.

If my comments seem harsh, those in Thai version might be 'unacceptable'. And I don't think most of comments here are meant to be mocking nor make fun of this poor country. It depends on how you view these comments, IMO, they didn't sound like that.

BTW, Harrison George's article 'One picture is worth a thousand lies' is the best arguement I ever come across, concerning this topic ( and it's not cynical this time as he usually is : )
