Thailand Jails Dissident For What People Thought He Would Have Said
patiwat writes "A Thai court has convicted a man for censoring himself. In a 2010 anti-government rally, Yossawarit Chuklom said several people were against the dissolution of Abhisit Vejjajiva's government. He mentioned a few names, and then put his hand over his mouth and said he wasn't brave enough to continue. A court ruled that he would have mentioned King Bhumibol Adulyadej — thus earning him a conviction for insulting the King, who is constitutionally banned from any political role."
His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej is the ninth incarnation of Lord Rama, who himself was the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, the Preserver of the Universe. His Majesty is omniscient and He knows what everyone is thinking. It might look odd to the West with its mechanistic interpretation of the observable universe. But, rest assured, they know what was on his mind and they know what he would have done. The only thing that perplexes the holistic Eastern minded Thai people is, "Why is His Majesty using the mechanistic physical instruments like courts and jail, like the simple minded Westerners, and is not using His omnipotent powers to punish him directly and demonstrate His powers over nature for all to see?"

As long as it doesn't require too much effort, right?
Hmm... I typoed. Manor should be manner. A hypothetical manor is where I live.
Just because you are paranoid does not mean that no-one is out to get you.
King Bhumibol Adulyade enjoys licking my toes.
Ha, ha! You got the short end of the deal. You should see what parts of me he licks.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
That is completely different.
The guy in TFA was sent for a predefined amount of time to a jail within the border of the country that convicted him in a legal trial.
I'm sure none of that would happen to those olive-skinned young men in the US.

With a username of 'drinkypoo', I'll pass on that offer, if you don't mind.
Or even if you do.

Remember how hard drive prices shot up a while ago? And how there was flooding in Thailand just prior to that happening?
That wasn't just a coincidence.

Please, it's tuna. Just tuna. We already know it's a fish.
It's true: King Bhumibol Adulyade caused the flooding.
Well, when you gotta go, you REALLY gotta go!
