How to decide which votes count for how much?

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 175 , 13:01:26 | Category : Logic Ethics

The PAD now claims it is necessary to annul 70% of the voice of the Thai electorate in how it is governed. How is it to be determined which votes should count for how much? On what criteria are some people's votes to count for a lot more than others? By intelligence? The fact is that rural people are as intelligent as city people. IQ varies very little between provinces or between city and country.....

Intolerable Progress: the masses are acting up

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 191 , 18:22:17 | Category : Ethics

Some things do try one's patience. If Samak and his government now resigned and fresh elections were held where there was no vote buying whatsoever (in fact and by evidence - please note that this clause began with the word if) with the result that the PPP were re-elected and Samak returned as PM, then the PAD would carry on exactly where they left off. They have demonstrated no desire for democracy....

Chinese Ministry of Ignorance in full swing

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 713 , 19:51:52 | Category : Ethics

As the world prepares to assemble in their capital, the Chinese authorities are diligently pursuing their committment to public ignorance. Liu Shaokun, a teacher, has sent for a year of "re-education through labour" for posting photos on the Internet that were seen as a threat to the social order. What were the images? Well, they were images of .... wait for it .... schools that collaps....

The Puyai System is Disastrously Bad for Thailand

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 358 , 09:21:40 | Category : Logic Ethics Epistemology

Some, including the Nation in a particularly weak editorial, have recently suggested that Thailand does not need democracy because it has an excellent and functioning puyai system. There is certainly a connection between democracy in Thailand and the traditional puyai system, and unhappily, it's supporters are right when they observe that the puyai system is an alternative to democracy in Thailand. I....

Persistent violation of Nation Blog guideline 9.

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 268 , 22:49:31 | Category : Ethics

If you have a look at Yoon's recent post, "Blog TV...Sondhi declares: Our new mission is to kick out Samak govt..." at http://blog.nationmultimedia.com/ThaiTalk/2008/05/30/entry-1 it is apparent that he has, yet again, violated the Nation's own Blog guideline 9., which clearly states: "9) The blog is interactive, please do not post and leave.

More Evil in China

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 351 , 13:10:18 | Category : Ethics

The Chinese government has just sentenced human rights activist Hu Jia to to three-and-a-half years in prison. What did he do? He honestly reported on human rights abuses. And the charge: "inciting subversion of state power and the socialist system". What that means is, he thought the CHinese people had a right to ... know what was happening. And he recklessly tried to tell people ... the t....

Get religion off the ID card, along with Mr, Ms, Miss, Mrs, ...

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 377 , 14:51:31 | Category : Ethics

Now that another blog has brought up the issue of what should be recorded on a person's ID card, another long over due change would be to the habit of stating a person's religion. Teh government has no need and no business even asking people what their religion is. It might be useful to know the percentages in different areas, but an anonymous census can provide all that is required. People's religio....

Attention admin., More plagiarism: Jomthap is a thief

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 357 , 16:02:40 | Category : Ethics

The Blog "Euthanasia: The Ethics of Assisted Suicide" by Jomthap is stolen from the BBC website article "The ethics of assisted suicide". Not content with stealing, Jomthap has also elected to hide comments, which suggests that he is well aware that what he has done is wrong. Jomthap is a thief and a coward. However, since he might have been a new blogger and not the infamous Jerr....

Radical Suggestions for a Thai Constitution

Posted by FelixQui , Reader : 295 , 00:36:51 | Category : Ethics

Pomjuk's comments on Naive's Blog, 'Torn between two wrong guys ; or should i vote for "No one"? ' prompted me to try to organize a few related ideas that I've had. I've often thought that it would be constructive were Thailand to incorporate some of the general principles of the US Constitution in its own. One thing that seems to me especially strong in the US system is that, as much as po....

Does the Nation now think it was wrong?

I enjoyed Pravit Rojanaphruk's opinion piece "Democracy's 'defenders' entrench Army power" in today's Nation, but it left me with a hitherto unanswered question. Does the Nation now think that its support of the coup last September at the cost of ditching democracy was a mistake? Any comment? ....
