The controversy over HE's health
http://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/h ... d-45530365
The most interesting thing to me, is that Chambers, who teaches at a university in Thailand, has so much time to attack what he labels a pseudo-democracy in Cambodia, whilst simultaneously saying little about the military govt in Thailand. The hypocrisy is just laughable.

Simple answer.
He lives in Thailand so you don't shit where you eat.

Re: The controversy over HE's health
Yeah, I'm aware of that, but it kind of destroys any argument/criticism he makes.
The obvious qpoint is if he considers Thailand a more democratic place to live in, he should just keep quiet.

It doesn't destroy his argument at all.

Re: The controversy over HE's health
Nah, it's carefully worded hypocrisy from a sophist.
Pure, refined bullshit.

Not if there's a fire, not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my home and one week later there's a smell coming from there that can only be a decaying human body and you have to hold a hanky to your face because the stench is so thick that you think you're going to faint.
Even then, don't come knocking...Not for ANY reason.

Re: The controversy over HE's health
It undermines the legitimacy, because he doesn't say it in Thailand. He gets zero respect. If he's really so concerned about democracy, he can start closer to home, a country that has had the most coups in history.username wrote: ↑Tue Jan 16, 2018 1:24 pmWhataboutism.that genius wrote: ↑Tue Jan 16, 2018 12:22 pm Yeah, I'm aware of that, but it kind of destroys any argument/criticism he makes.

That's my opinion. If you're going to be respected as a journalist/political commentator, be consistent and impartial.
Do you think a North Korean could criticise the US, Thailand or Cambodia and not get laughed out of the house?

I don't care where the criticism comes from or where the person criticising is based, it's not important.that genius wrote: ↑Tue Jan 16, 2018 5:51 pmIt undermines the legitimacy, because he doesn't say it in Thailand.

The argument stands or falls on its own merit.

Yes. Kim is making POTUS look like a complete idiot, and in some quarters is considered a hero for standing up to a bullying USA.that genius wrote: ↑Tue Jan 16, 2018 5:51 pmDo you think a North Korean could criticise the US, Thailand or Cambodia and not get laughed out of the house?
Which kind of brings us back to the original topic. I am far more worried about Trumpy's mental health at the moment. As he keeps reminding us he has a big red button, which HE does not have.
