ricefield - "BTW - AV hasn't shown up to court yet. So your statement "At least he shows up" is in fact false, at least at the moment."

He's cooperated with every inquiry regarding 2010 and his "draft dodging". He's never been too busy or just not shown up like the red faction does every time.

Discussion 49 brilliant : don't be so confident of yourself that AV would show up in his trial. AV had once thought that he was untouchable when he was in his tenure.

Disc 47 - You say AV is more of a stand up guy than TS. That's a bit like saying a banana is sweeter than a papaya, when they are both in reality still fruit.

BTW - AV hasn't shown up to court yet. So your statement "At least he shows up" is in fact false, at least at the moment.

android - "AV would be praised as a brave man if he confessed his wrongdoings in court."

that's the purpose of court, you know. At least he shows up, unlike your hero.

ricefield - can I answer a question with a question 2 or 3 times first? Of course not and I've never said otherwise. But I will say that Abhisit is much more of a stand up guy. At least he cooperates with the inquiry and doesn't run away.

Disc 43 - No, I don't think Thaksin was innocent of all wrongdoings and I've said, many times, that if he's convicted in a proper trial, not a rigged one where the law is changed and used retroactively, I do not have a problem with that.

Now can you truthfully say that Abhisit and Suthep are innocent of all wrongdoing while PM and DPM? I'd also appreciate a straight answer from you.

The heat is on. Abhisit and Suthep make the perfect scapegoats and the army will hang them out to dry.

ricefield - nice deflection, You never do directly answer questions. I'll make it easy for you - yes or no - do you think Thaksin is innocent of any wrong doings while PM?
It appears so, but I'd appreciate an honest answer.
