Who supports true democracy? How the world views Thailand.

[Yellow_Shirt]

True democracy means that non elected public servants do not have the right to a public political position.
You can judge for yourselves who this should apply to!

Hello NAB

OH please not another riddle about the public servants come to the point and answer it straight no sitting in the middle and how can any one answer the question when you show no fact to work with are we just guessing now.

If you have a look at your thread you wrote about the PM you will see a member wrote to you about your claim about the Democrat and the silver spoon he is still waiting for any answer he name is Terry

J1V2...I apologize for appearance of seeming rude by not replying to your post here. But WM issued me a stern warning for any discussions of the rights of the group that you reference. 50 posts on that topic and others here were summarily deleted. In a perevrted way, I think th ait is really funny to ban posts from a free speech/democracy thread. But more importantly, I find this most offensive...but wish my being banned to be my choice, not WMs if it is to occur. I am considering that now.

Believe it or not Moth (or Sloth if you prefer) and it may come as a surprise, but I sternly support you on this issue. I've come to the conclusion that there’s been too much censorship and too many unnecessary being banned. If fighting for the freedom of speech is meant to bear a meaning; I’ve concluded you must also fight for your opponents’ right to free speech.
I’m serious in my intentions writing this, but with no disrespect intended; I do understand that the webmaster of this forum’s got a difficult task at times.

Please explain what this means? That there should be no appointed ministers, permanent secretaries, etc? Do you support elections of all public officials? Please explain.

The role of non elected officials is to support the government 100%. The only time they have the right to a public opinion is when they resign or in the voting booth.
I am talking about Civil servants. You can decide for yourself who is and is not a civil servant.

Assuming that you have ears, I'll further assume that the thing between them is for thinking. I'll also give you credit for being able to make a list of who is and who is not a public servant. Let us start with the head of state and work downwards.

I understand your situation, and no apology is necessary under the circumstances. It's unfortunate that freedom of speech is merely a phrase here that has no real substance to it, and that whatever we say is subject to censorship for reasons never explained to us. I respect the fact that the W.M. has, at times, a difficult job, but I also sometime think he/she may get a little over zealous at times and delete topics and threads that actually have some validity to them for discussion. All any of us can do is to continue to voice our thoughts, with some consideration for the proclivities of the W.M., and hope they stay and can be commented on by others.

As this thread is about "True Democracy", perhaps the W.M. should realize that in a real true democracy, there is freedom of speech and expression, and censorship is used only sparingly, and when appropriate, not on a whim.

"Chilling out' is a good way to go, figuratively speaking.
We all know what we "must do", as such, perhaps we should just try a little harder to achieve that aim? (democraticly speaking)
