Good point. Education is the key. That's the nature of Lao people we like live in peace and live a simple life. Maybe that's why we get bully and push around by our powerful neighbor for century. Issan mean northeast when Thai talk about Issan they know its Lao.

Look at the "Niggas" (pardon me) in the USA. They now have equal rights as everyone else. But how did they get it? [Take your time on this one. There is no need to rush. Because as they say in Laos: "we have all day"]. Even when their leaders got assasinated, did they get scared and do a face-to? No,NO,NO!. They kept on fighting for what they believed in. Their predicament was not too far off from where we are now. Nearly all of them are descended form slaves. True for most of our Isaan brethren. So what, alot of rebellers are in jail. So what, most will fall short. Look at Jao Siviet Annouvong. We now have a monument in his honour. How many centuries has he been dead? If you fight for what you truly believe in, and you "know" deep down in your heart that you are right, then the "pasason" will feel the vibe too and get behind the movement. Martyred in the faith of independance and equality. They don't come any prouder than that! Whay can't us Lao adopt this type of jihad mentality?

"If the Thai military tried to shoot you, and some of your colleagues got killed and injured, will you stick around?". Admin', you already think too"Lao-like". Why do most Lao only think about themselves? When you invite someone over for diner and they don't want to come, why do they make up bs excuses? "I already ate" or " My brother has already invited me"? You can tell they are lying. We Lao should learn to be more direct. Don't take my judgements to heart admin'. I will always "love" you for your opinions; no matter how contrasting they are. My old man always preached the mantra: "huck pang gun".

More Lao need to assimilalate the pride of those two speakers in that "Laos Politics thread".

Love Laos, Thaksin Shinawatra is a billionaire. He is rich enough to pay alot of people.


Larb Dip, About inviting Lao people for dinner and they refuse to come with a polite excuse (whether it's true or not), there's no harm done.

It's like westerners asking you "How are you?" More often than not, you'll answer something along the lines of "I'm fine", even though your day may be miserable.

Every PM leaves office, and they are remembered for a mixture of good and bad things they've done.

Thaksin did some good things, however he was found guilty of corruption in a court of law, so that's a pretty serious charge in anyone's language.

All I'M saying is: If they are gonig to even start with this type of thing, then they need to really follow through. What about the legacy of the fallen soldiers? How will their sacrifices be remembered (or forgotten?). All for nothing now. What a waste of time (and life).

"Freedom is not free you had to fight for it with your blood." Its not over yet. Peaceful protest, election doesn't work because red shirt are jail or shot. If red shirt won election there're military couple to steal power from the people. I think it'll lead to civil war soon. Wait and see what happen when Thai king past away.
