PAD success: Yellow is Out

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 947 , 11:54:27 | Category : Aesthetics

Today is Monday, and walking around Lumpini Park and the Silom area, one result of the PAD war mongering is obvious: yellow is no longer a popular colour. Masses of people are conspicuously not wearing what was once a colour worn to show love to a much revered Monarch on Mondays. The PAD has so strongly associated yellow with the violent, the ugly, the divisive and the offensive that they have a....

How many favourites apply to Thailand?

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 638 , 19:55:32 | Category : Aesthetics

For a little lighter relief, even an erudite reference to P.G. Wodehouse (7), see "50 of your favourite words" at the BBC at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7659954.stm Number 28, kakistocracy, seems made for Thailand, and is, as Helen Collins notes, "A very useful word!", although sinecure, at 27, must be a close contender. And 18 seems made for PAD supporters, or sh....

YouTube & Her Majesty: An interesting contrast

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 670 , 09:45:44 | Category : Aesthetics

I don't for a minute think that Thailand's Ministry of Information and Communication Technology has any regrets about the lengthy ban on YouTube this year, when a vast amount of valuable information on science, history, current affairs and other areas was put off bounds to Thai citizens, along with a great source of entertainment. However, not all, not even all royalty, are so strongly opposed to inf....

Speaking Well v. Writing Well, and Critical Thinking

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 554 , 18:29:26 | Category : Aesthetics

This post was prompted by comments relating to my style of writing that a couple of people have posted under various unrelated topics. I'm perfectly happy to have others comment, especially when it's clear from the comments, whether positive or negative, that the posters have done me the courtesy of actually reading what I've written. Indeed, I love it when people read what I write and take the time ....

Dumbledore is Gay! And the best thing is ...

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 1301 , 21:29:56 | Category : Ethics Aesthetics

It has now been well reported in the BBC and elsewhere, including the Nation, that professor Albus Dumbledore of Harry Potter fame is gay. What I thought was most wonderful about all this, from the reports and comments I've seen from people on the street, is its stunning unimportance. It's an interesting detail about Dumbledore, like his fondness for lemon sherbets, and not much more important to peo....
