It's a shame to see Thailand bowing to all this poisonous wokist American culture.

Even if it's a bad influence that corrodes traditional Thai society.

You are out of touch with what’s going on in the world. 31 countries have legalized same sex marriage

I suppose that one of the greatest fallacies in the Western world is that 'progressive' politics has to be a good thing.

All it's led to so far is the disintegration of society, unhappiness, ugliness, loneliness and lack of respect for anything. Yet people still support it.

What do you support then? Prejudice and discrimination like the “good old days”

That should be shortened to "You are living".

[think-and-ask]

most people per, country and the world,
not want what govern-ment ( few, in % ) want.

and much of those people who are a direct part, of any topic,
not want it, what includes all other kinds of, governmetn supporting groups, and
many of this exist this days.

and call something, to be
legal, a law, vote, election etc. made by few, is no democracy.
by the way, to believe in something, for exmaple, numbers on T.el e V.ision, is never to know it.

You don't think that happens anymore? Western society is more divided than it's ever been.

That's very patronising. For all you know, the esteemed member may not speak English as a first language, but you shouldn't dismiss him because of that, as you seem to cruelly do by mocking him. Instead, you should embrace him as a friend. 

Isn't that what you progressives claim to represent? Or aren't you one?

In what way? Go on, challenge me with your conspicuously absent intellect, debating the point rather than the person. If you can.

I didn’t mean to be patronizing. I just couldn’t understand what he was trying to say and there seemed to be too many punctuation marks mid word. I don’t claim to represent anyone apart from myself. I don’t categorize myself as a progressive because life’s issues are too complex just to blindly follow one group

Sorry, the way you wrote that post, I thought you were on about the effects on your life in general, well wasn't it, I mean, unhappiness, ugliness, loneliness, lack of respect...

You thought wrongly.

What do you support? You didn’t answer the question. When Australia took a postal survey on allowing same sex marriage they voted yes by 61% to 38% which is hardly an indication of a divided country.

Don’t you think it is patronizing to answer the question on someone else’s behalf?

I didn’t say that it’s better I was just countering your comment that the world is divided by such policies using Australia as an example

You forgot Sadness

The fear of another humans right to love who they wish, and have it recognized is not an afront to anyone else's rights. Why should anyone care who loves who, and why. The only rabid deniers of this right are typically religious zealots (who can all bugger off), closeted homosexuals (I feel sorry for your self-hatred), or people trapped in the past (stop being so afraid of change, life is change). Given Thailand's historical acceptance of LGBTQ, I'm not surprised it's the foreigners that are outraged by this progress in human rights. Maybe you shouldn't be living in Thailand if that's the case.
