I know some may say they are not into it at all, but you must have an opinion on the current situation.
So tell us what you think about the red shirts, do you think they are doing a good cause or do you despise them?

I think they have all been fooled by Thaksin, all this just to get his money back, but I have not followed this 100%. Like some other views on this.

Good, bad, or indifferent. What are the alternatives? Remain in the same old conventional manner in which it has been for decades? Regardless of one's punitry and social discourse, there is always a place and room for dissent towards the {obvious} ruling plutocracy. Haven't all world cultures had {or continue to have} their revolutionary and class uprising moments...?? These current events and affairs need to be examined from an historic content and not how it's been written for us.

I don't really care, although it has been a interesting month or so.

The red shits have interfered with some of my plans, so they are bad in my books.
I am not really sure about the history of Thai politics, so I can't really comment too much.
Most of the people at my work do not like them.

What riles me regarding the reds is their blind support of Thaksin, a fugitve criminal.

Thaksins main objective is to get his money back. He is using the poor to fight his battles.
The funny thing is the red shirts are worried about his health, and he responds by saying he looks puffy because he is enjoying his good, great european food and caviar. lol It seems like he is rubbing it in the red shirts face.

I don't know if it's so blind and universal. The surface redundancy offers the continued reference to a Thaksin relationship...a propagandic tool promoted by the Thai establishment. A fugitive, a crook, and a scallywag he might be. But less we forget about the activity that lead to this mess - the 2006 coup. He was forcibly removed from his position as {caretaker} PM.
