Time to dissolve the Catholic Church
I'll spell it out.... The phrase "the lady doth protest too much, methinks" is a famous line from William Shakespeare's play Hamlet. It is spoken by Queen Gertrude, Hamlet's mother, in response to the overacting of a character in a play within the play. The line is often used to suggest that someone is being overly defensive or insincere in their protestations of innocence or virtue. The person is not being genuine and that her protestations are actually a sign of guilt. It now has come to be used more generally to describe any situation in which someone's protestations seem to be over the top or lacking in credibility. For example, if someone is accused of a crime and they vehemently deny any wrongdoing, people might say that they are "protesting too much" and that their protestations are actually a sign of guilt. So - it is a reminder that excessive protestations can sometimes backfire and make people appear more guilty than they actually are -

Time to dissolve the Catholic Church
Just a couple of quick points; being called a clown by a clown is reassuring, however I feel that point is probably lost on you. Secondly, posting so regularly is unnecessary for you, your title of the biggest buffoon on Thethaiger is assured. Your flimsy reasoning is based on a dangerous combination of base emotion and military analysis, to what is essentially a social issue. In sophisticated societies, politicians of your ilk are purposely corralled and sidelined. And with good reason. This is because sane, rational individuals understand the implications of applying a broad brush approach to what is a complex issue. They also understand that far from achieving the goal of making children safer, an embargo on the church would actually make it less safe children. And therefore be counterproductive. Good policy requires imagination and nuance, two words foreign to you. In your world all farangs would be summarily rounded up and deported from Thailand because a couple of Brits mucked up in Pattaya. In your world prohibition was a good policy. In your world the egregious actions of a few from the same race, religion, class or political leaning represent the wider beliefs, behaviours and human characteristics of the whole of that particular race, religion class or political leaning I’m yet to be convinced that YOU actually believe anything you post. And if you do indeed buy into the garbage that you post, you are unfit to weigh into any social issue on this forum. -

News Forum - Overwhelmed businesswoman registers for Thai government’s debt relief scheme
if "she owes about 150,000 baht to 14 lenders and has to find over 7,000 baht daily to pay the 20% interest," 150k are the big problem, I hardly would call her business woman. Or someone, who "New car every other year, private school for children". -

News Forum - Overwhelmed businesswoman registers for Thai government’s debt relief scheme
7000/day on 150k,that would be about 5% daily interest. 150%/month, 1800%/year. But perhaps she needs 7k a day, include her own living expenses? And it is "just% 20% a week? So 20% in what timeslot, please? The "article" `s missing info, a lot of them! Aside that already 20% annually is (close to) illegal, this debt can be solved by "illegal rate, you don´t have to pay". I can imagine, some people wanna "take advantage" of this debt relief scheme! Like many did in the past, with all the other schemes, the government did, imho, to try to keep voters in line! -
