The war Youtube VS. Thailand 

As the morning of Saturday 7. April 2007 was loaded at least three new videos on YouTube. Some of the videos could be seen in order to be offending from the Thais.

The most these videos were pointed to the grounds of "the American alteration" into first that "the freedom of speech reigns" or with it everything, which it can be made to Bush, why inclination..?". The videos are definitive so childish and resemble to them, you come from people, who don't have anything better, to do in her/its/their life, but this question is no more a question of the freedom of speech. The freedom of speech is about expressing opinion in a path, that it doesn't make complete and offends somebody openly.

The king of Thailand does, you not and cannot be compared merely to all heads chosen as Bush (Bush has can, is represented, a donkey, who multiplies, likes to be you or at all). While Bush can have the support of the half of USA, the king of Thailand has the support of 99.9 percent of this nation. If each of the uploaders of the video was in Thailand (although I tend doubts strongly that they have) here, they would notice how the king is liked the world absolutely here. Many stores hang his/its photos on the walls and yellow flags (the yellow represents the monarchy here) in top, hanged of many houses can be seen. The nation is filled with the people, who wear the yellow shirts, that show the king the respect. If a photo of the graffiti'ed of the face of the king on hung in top at the streets, somebody will go and will destroy it in some seconds, let of the single minutes. As soon as the hundred of thousand of people, who wear yellow shirts, gathered, by last year his/its / you speech, to listen, was one long kilometer literally the crowd. It is like many people like it here.

The problem, that is sufficiently obvious, if one will read the discussions from it over line-topic here so, here or the commentaries of the YouTube-Videos really are these people of the western you reads: many Americans use, her/its/their own morality, beliefs and values like a hint-stain. People in the world are different, he/it maybe acceptable to some companies for the parents, who ate the dinner down, while her/its/their daughters it with his/its / her/its/their friend of sixteen years continues, but it is simply honestly unacceptable in other companies.

So that YouTube itself and his/its / her/its/their community, to actually be a 'international' community, wants to trouble, the 'freedom of speech' encourages, it should respect other cultures and the culture from like a level not westerns / American takes. He/it / it should assume the beliefs of others and not openly or tyrant because of somebody them offends. As he/it earned for Oliver Rudolf Jufer, who was locked up, in order to spray the painting recent on photos of the king here / it this, which he/it / it got. If he/it / it in a country is, he/it must / it itself at the laws of this country adjusts. It was used the justice for Michael Fay, an American, who was beaten with cane in Singapore, to rape about the laws there, because it raped the laws there. Behind, these two situations, in which they are, are very similar to sentence, is, the laws are barbaric or "heavy."  

THE THAI TAXI-METER: 

It is one from the miracles of lives, in which the Thai taxi-meter still is
Existence and, in most cases, operating still. The introduction of this
To produce 1992 meters, should be viewed as one of the milestones in it
modern Thai history. Nobody expected per, that it lasts. You/they, meter, see
it had been installed more than two decades in taxis earlier, but no one from
they worked. Her/its/their single application was as a place for cab drivers to seat
those silly hats, that they should wear at that time. This
headgear was only put on while they sat this at traffic lights for fear
any perceptive police officer would discover this outrageous gap of the law.


Most people believed that the new meters would suffer the same fate as it, you
Predecessors and becomes hat-pillar, but amazingly this was not this
Case. It felt very strange, back in 1992, the being capable, to climb in it, one
To without first must taxi along the fare acts. It almost also was
easily. Until then leaving always an anger a taxi is. Therefore hats from
to the taxi-meter.
