"Is it logical to censor pro-democracy websites in China because it is a vital market, and at the same time to oppose the removal of a few videos making fun of the king?"

Major Internet companies including Google announced in January that they were teaming up with rights groups like RSF to develop ways of protecting civil liberties online.

The king used to chastise the government whenever he felt it was bungling things up. His silence about the coup speaks volumes.

I have one Thai friend who married to an American. They were arguing about how many wives Thai king has, he was saying something like 50+ and she was saying something like 40+
Is Thai king really has that many wives ??

My Thai wife says the king only has one wife. It's his son that really has them stacked up. The Thais don't like him (the son) much, by the way, and will barely even talk about the king being older and almost ready to buy the farm.
