thaipeople and Tulya, it’s Thai people like you guys that make me so ashamed of being a Thai. Read carefully and think before you respond here childishly. Being rude won’t get you anywhere to win an argument. It only shows how uneducated you really are. (In case of Khun Tulya, your English also shows!).

I’m a Thai but I don’t know if I can love our King. I’m not saying that he’s not a good man but I believe that he’s just an ordinary person just like all of us. I certainly don’t think of him as being so virtuous and God-like. After all, he and everyone in his family still cares for money. And lots of it too!!!

For example, to make this and that merit for the king again and again is too much. Thai people are about to forget to make merit for its own merit. When Thai children have to stop crying for the king, that’s going too far.

I’m agree with Teth. If you are Thai , you are alway here the Propaganda. You could be a good Thai citizen without royal bless.

Tulya: It is clear that you haven’t read the posts at NM very carefully, if at all. Your childish rant and use of profanity does not fit here, where there is serious discussion of this topic.

I’m Thai and I don’t love the King. How’s that?

The criticism I make is not based on prejudice or racism, that much is clear. It is based on reasonable examination of the evidence. I was angry at people like Paul Handley too, but that was before I read the book. Now I can see his point without all the (irrational) anger and hatred that I used to (and that you still) have.

Please, if you are Buddhist, ให้ใช้สติและเหตุผลเพื่อพิจรณาสิ่งเหล่านี้ ไม่ใช่ใช้แต่อารมณ์ที่ถูกปลูกฝังมาด้วยโทรทัศน์ ด้วยสื่อต่างๆ เพราะนั่นเป็นเพียงภาพลวงตา คุณไม่จำเป็นต้องรักในหลวงเพื่อเป็นคนไทยที่ดี แต่อย่างสิ่งที่แน่นอนคือถ้าคุณรักในหลวงแบบไม่ลืมหูลืมตา แบบที่ไม่สามารถฟังเหตุผล มุมมอง หรือคำวิจารณ์ของคนอื่นได้ คุณก็ไม่ใช่คนพุทธที่ดี ลองอ่านหากาลามสูตรอ่านดูครับ

Kampuju: Think of all the North Koreans who love their leader. Blind faith, belief in propaganda, uncritical love for a father figure.

Oh Dear, I just come late…nobody has perfect.
I just curious if you love someone beyond your heart, will you care he’s right or not? Like I love my dad, I didn’t expect he will do right always. So, I love my king…I have most seen he has always take good care to the people during my whole life, why don’t I should love him?

Respectful person can’t make an overnight!
