Let's have a serious discussion for once

hi guys, i know this is highly irregular, but i thought perhaps we could increase our intelligence quotients a little with some serious, rational discussion on the current affairs in the news.

i have noted with alarm that our recent posts have not only decreased in intellectual and engaging ideas..

.. and our conversations have degenerated to one liners like "freeeeeeeeeeedoooom" and "grunt" and "narf" (ok, the last two are slight exaggerations) ..

.. but also, and more disturbingly, we have substituted reasonable words and discourses with videos of farting (dictionary.com defines this as "verb: to expel a flatus through the anus; break wind.") cyborg scotsmen and parodies of cinematography (also known as "movies") from popular culture!

and so, with our grand old heritage of responsible scholarship in mind, and as alumni hailing from our honoured alma mater - a.c.s.(br), i would like to propose that we discuss the deep metaphysical rammifications of the recent coup d'etat of the thai government as reported in the news here: Thailand article
to aid our discussion, i have attached a picture that is in the abovementioned news story which i believe, in my own brutally honest opinion, cannot but perfectly encapsulate the popular sentiments and conclusions of all discussants after reading the report:

and the conclusion that i had earlier alluded to us thus:

"wah rwaw eh!!! thaksin's daughter is damn super sibei chio lor!! how come he so long in power we also din know he got so joot ah girl, one? nair mind! i fly bangkok right now!! dun care coop wat coop... eh? his daughter is in london now? wah piang.. cannot make it lah, tiger airway where got fly so far one?? liddat how to afford? sian la..."
