Should we VOTE?.."The MOST Influential person of the Year"

The message above, could make you shock!!or not, I dont know but i do really shock!!
I did capture this message from: The one of the most wellknown magazine
http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/time100walkup/article/0,28804,1611030_1610841_1610324,00.html
Before I read the text, it sounds great that voted for the 100 candidates of the person who is the most influential person of the year.
But then, a lot of question came through in my mind..
The text following would not be my opinion..
Alls r just da QuestIons...
Q:1.
Dont you realize that the word "Influential" can be meaned both of POSITIVE and NEGATIVE? so
Should we vote for our beloved DAD or not if the text above mean...NEGATIVE? (Ask yourself if you love HM)
Q:2
HM, As our Great DAD is the person whom's can not find out anybody to be compared with so..
Should we vote for our beloved DAD if HM's to be compared with common people(which mentioned as other 99 candidates)?
Q:3
As the text mentioned..*Please,focus on Pro & Con
Can you be bear for the message that is really aggressive and look down our country(Thailand) and HM?
Q:4
Should Thai People do voting without nothing realized, that would makes Thailand and HM to be down?...
Finally, alls' my queries that would be want NObody to answer...
As I'm Thai, I can not be stand still.
So..no need to answer ma question..
Just keep this Question in ur concious and answer urself
SHOULD WE DO VOTE or NOT???

Sorry, but I had to come back on this subject and I must tell you there is one passage in your article that really makesme angry!"Should we vote for our beloved DAD if HM's to be compared with common people(which mentioned as other 99 candidates)?"
As much as I may understand your love for your king: who are you to put down the other candidates?
Among them there are people who have achieved great things, people like Nelson Mandela who practically freed a whole country from racial injustice or Bono with his fight against poverty and AIDS in Africa!
I think you "dad" is a politically and socialy well informed man, very intelligent and wise. I think, he would actually be not too sad to be named alongside some of these great persons!
So: if you dont want others to look down on your beliefes, you shouldnt put others down in the first place!
I will not come back to this forum any more, as I think you are taking all this a little too far and you are becoming insulting and injust towards others.
Something , by the way, that does not honour your king and your country very much!
I will state again, that I have the highest of respect for your king.
But, sorry, not for people like you!

Did you read ANYTHING of what I was writing?
-Why is focusing on pro & con putting Thailand or the Thai people or anyone down?
-What is agressive about it?
-Why do YOU still put people like Mandela down , by calling them just "common people"?
-Why are you so afraid of being put down by an article in a magazin?
Have some self respect!
-Of course influential could be positive or negative!
Respect that there is a world outside Thailand, that may see things differently than you do AND what can be negative influential with making a military uprise peacefull??
You state that Thailand is a democracy- there HAS to be an open discussion with pro & con...otherwise it is NO democracy!
Again: highest respect to your king, as I honor him as a man with great ideas, political wiseness and as very intelligent and infoirmed!
For YOU: RELAX!

vote to see who is King? i would vote for him to be Thailand's King. he is a good man. i would not vote for the queen of england. she does no good.
further, Thaksin was voted in, and i think The King is a much much greater man than him... incomparable really.
peace brothers and sisters... no offence meant. Long Live The King - We Love Our King!

You are an ignorant idiot, Mark!
Do you really believe that a world wide aclaimed magazine like TIME would let people write articles about a subject not well observed?
Do you really believe, that TIME would let a 2 -week-Phuket-holidaymaker write an article about anything?
These people are journalists with vast amount of experience, some of them living in Asia for years and years and even in Thailand.
The research before they write something!
Maybe something that you should also do, before you publicly state such bullsh*t!
"Very little is known about the king outside Thailand" is a FACT!
And by the way: it is due to Thai believe that it is so.
By glorification and not letting anything get through to the outside world.
It is of course the right of the thai people to belive what and how they want.
But if you are treating a person or a subject like that (isolate any known facts about the MAN who is king)no one should be argueing with that!

Nils, where did Time suddenly get it's quality in journalism creditation from? It's full of propaganda. Maybe you should open your eyes and mind a little more before calling anyone an ignorant idiot. You think it would be a totally unbiased piece? Nothing to do with the situation of Mr. Thaksin? Haha. Back to the name-calling ;o)
By the way, are you per chance one of those ex-pats in Thailand who constantly criticises the Thais and their culture, and then denies it? If you are I suggest you go back to ... and stop making the Thai's life a misery like the rest of the Sukhumvit morons.

I never critized the thai culture!
Tell me where I did that!
I just said that it is undemocratic,wrong and not very clever to look down at others if you dont want to be looked down upon yourself!
And I am saying that freedome of speech and press are to be regarded highly.
So dont vote if you dont want to, but accept that there is an outside world! Thats all!
And if everyone coming to Thailand is just a Sukhumvit moron or doing 2- weeks- of- easy-sex-at-atong- holiday...which kind of are you, sir? And if you are really from China (which i doubt) don't talk to me about propaganda in the press, please!

of course i'm not from china nils, i'm living there.. and yes, the press i blatantly restricted here, though there are ways to get hold of the rubbish the western world is fed shoul you so desire.
you just said again thais are wrong.. but you forgot to say in your opinion.. and also implied that you look down on them. i'm having similar arguements with ex-pats here - people are the same everywhere, not just just in asia. the british lie down and take everything the gov and press throws at them
i think you know as well as i do that it's only the minority of any culture that looks beyond what they are told.. don't make it a nationalist issue.. maybe it's your english, but your tome towrards your guest nation doesn't sound/ read very pleasant
i hope you're happy in thailand though for sure - too many ex-pats don't seem to be (nor here too)

I am sure happy here and I sure do not look down at anybody!
If I say "I just say it's...wrong..." I clearly state it as MY opinion.
And I am NOT referring to THE THAIS...just to @bsolutely, who started this subject!
Maybe it is my english (it's clearly not my mothertongue) so I can say I am sorry if some things came across wrong.
I am verry happy to live and work in Thailand- but still I have the right to see things differently.
Just the fact I live here, doesnt mean I have to give up thinking and take everything as given!

haha, indeed.. though sometimes it can be difficult to appreciate what you've got, and forget why we don't live in our homelands!
You're Dutch? Are the Dutch Royal family respected by the majority? I'm sure the British Queen isn't.. She helps make me respect the Thai King more. I think she's a disgrace!

I am German...so I "lost" royalty centuries ago!
;-)
Please note that I highly respect the thai king. As I said: I think of him a socially engaged, wise and intelligent and informed man. There are worse things you could say about a man and a king!
I dont have nothing against my home country, though I am not one of those "proud-to-be-german"-guys.
I came here (Thailand) because of many things, among them the friendlyness of the people.
But still: I was raised to have an opinion and to stand up for it.
Again: I dont look down at anyone...though an a**hole is an a**hole...in any country!
Let's put that one to sleep now.
I have to correct myself: you may not be the idiot I thought you were.
Peace!

This is the reason why I do post this topic here to be discussed. Normally, when ppl heard the name "TIME", most of them read nothing then do voting for our King to be the 1st for others. Therefore, I post this one to remind all before voting, we could not demand others to do what's the right things,alright? We are in Absolute Democracy country with the NICE and GREAT King named Bhumibol.

Maybe you should line up with some people in Iraque and Saudi Arabia who did react like that towards the Mohamad paintings!
Wake up and accept that there is a world outside Thailands frontiers where your King (long may he live) is not protected to criticsm by a law (that he himself criticised in 1985 ...i think it was!).
Grow up!

2007年11月22日 6:25Re: Should we VOTE?.."The MOST Influential person of the Yea
I life and work in your country, I like being here and I highly respect your traditions.
I also think that your king is a good man, I wish for him to have a healthy and long life.
He has done a lot of good for your country (some things I personally might POLITICALLY question) and you people of Thailand love the man.
But you should accept, that there IS an outside world that MAY see things from another perspective.
For most people OUTSIDE Thailand, your king (as well as the Queen of England or the King of Spain) is "just" a historical and political person and viewed with different eyes!
Vote or not vote- it's up to you!
But understand that the fact that YOU (and your fellow people in Thailand) love the king, does not automatically mean that the WHOLE WORLD does the same!
I hope I did not offend you by my opinion!
Have a nice day!
P.S. See it as a compliment that one of the worlds most read and popular magazines put HM up for the vote as "Most influential person of the year!"...I would like to be on that list for sure!
