To put things in perspective, the US media, writing from a country that invaded three countries and killed hundreds of thousands of people, whined this week about censorship in another country. The US media loses more credibility. Thailand, a country I just traveled thru, is doing just fine in recovering from it's floods.
As for the King of Thailand, he successfully eliminated most of the heroin/opium farming in Thailand by teaching poor farmers how to sustain themselves with more appropriate crops. In doing so, he saved the lives of thousands, maybe millions of Americans, and eliminated 1/3 of the opium production in the Golden Triangle. What have American media outlets and politicians done for the world in their lifetimes? Shame on you.
Since I WILL NEVER go to Thailand, THE KING SUCKS if he supports THIS type of Rule!! YOU can NEVER FORCE People to "RESPECT" YOU, You MUST EARN RESPECT!!!!
Now, COME AND GET ME !!!!!!!
Note to self: Never deride the beloved King and then go to Thailand especially if you were born in Thailand, know the laws and your real name is Lerpong Wichaikhammat.
The quickest way for a monarchy to meet its demise it to punish people for their freedom of expression. Doing this against an American citizen, while that American was in America, is a slap against our very freedoms in this country. Maybe Thailand needs a few sanctions to slap their royalty properly.

Doesn't matter how people feel about the current US Administration, in a few years they will be gone, but the Monarchy will still be going strong, or the next in line... and nobody will be able to speak against them, EVEN if it's the truth. Truth is many time less than flattering, but only a good man is capable of accepting the fact, that they are less than perfect and prone to err.
The man is locked up for his remarks he made when in this Nation-USA. I have heard of the computer crimes act--I read the UK's one. This man when America wrote things against the Crown..
The thing is Mr Gordon--it did not stay in America even tho ye wrote here when America. My mother belive that Americans should not speak bad of the president. She was taught that. I was not. My late father and vets haven given me the right to my say. The man should not be locked up for things he said in America. I am sorry the King is sick. The royal family there can punish anyone for remarks said of them even tho the people never been there..I am flooured.
