deadsox 894 Posted December 17, 2015 Well, I guess my following statement will qualify. I don't care. I don't think Thailand's authorities monitor this forum for content offending to their monarch, but should they do, I don't think they'll start legal procedures against foreigners they cannot reach. I don't intend to visit their, it must be said, attractive country. I don't care about king Bhumibol. I don't love him, I don't hate him, I'm indifferent. I dislike monarchy as a form of government, but that changes little in the way I appreciate ruling monarchs: I care not. As for king Bhumibol's health: may it be as good as can be expected and he live as long as he wishes. I leave you with the thought that critical of the government is not the same as lese majeste. Back in the early ninties when I worked for a certain Nationalised Coal mining organisation we had some Chinese interns with us for a few months and they would spend time with us in the labs. Of course working from British Coal and criticizing the government of the day went hand in hand but this poor Chinese lad used to sit listening to us very nervously watching the door all the time. He later said that he was shocked about how we talked about our Government all the time in critical terms, people who do that in China ( he hesistated looking for the right word) .....disappear. Made me think about the freedoms we have that we take for granted. We should never take hard won freedoms and rights for granted. That's why I support and defend the US Constitution.

JiroemonKimura 95 Posted December 29, 2015 A person insults his dog, gets arrested, dog dies 2 weeks later. Insult Bhumibol himself, get arrested... see where this is going? Of course, 2 weeks after I enter Thailand, the king will be dead. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,977 Posted February 16, 2016 I think he doesn't even leave the hospital anymore. He's been there for the majority of the past 5 years... They've repatedly treated him well (or at least well enough to survive) with antibiotics, but as a result, his immune system is destroyed, so now he gets ill every couple of weeks. But I guess his organs and circulatory system must still be in good shape, or else he would have died long ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know it's like Zsa Zsa he is being kept alive when in reality both of there bodies are buggered and if nature was allowed to take it's course they would of both been dead years ago but because of who they are and the money they have available they are both being cruelly kept alive when in reality it would be kinder if they were both left to die with dignity an animal would be treated better, the only real question is who will finally snuff it first Zsa Zsa or Bhumibol Adulyadej. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They probably have more justification in keeping him alive. I do not think there is going to be rioting in the streets if Zsa Zsa dies All though there maybe a lot of cross Deathlisters if she doesn't 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
