bact' is a name: on YouTube

ตอบเมลในลิสต์ WOICT (เรื่องบล็อก YouTube) เอาลงในนี้ละกัน คิดว่าน่าจะโอเค

Hi,

For me, as an indivisual Thai, yes, I feel very uncomfortable with the King mocking clip.

Anyway, blocking the whole website is not a joke.
I'm in a sorry state to see MICT cannot deal with the issue with minimum side-effects
(they may already tried to do their best, I'm not blaming. I'm just sorrying).

Everything needs filtering, there're too much information out there.
Even every information is perfectly good, we still need to filter some out..
Time is limited. Bandwidth is limited. (Storage) Space is limited.

But I'm not sure about letting someone else to filter things out for me, or my minors.
(given they are still under legal's age -- i'm not having any anyway :P)

I don't want my country to be a nanny state.
As Ajarn Nithi already said in his article [1], if parents expect the state to raise up their children, just leave them to the protectory.

" ข้อสรุปอันแรกที่ผมอยากย้ำไว้ก็คือ คนไทยต้องเลี้ยงลูกเอง เลิกคิดที่จะให้รัฐเลี้ยงลูกแทนเสียที เพราะถ้าคิดอย่างนั้นหอบลูกไปทิ้งไว้หน้าสถานเลี้ยงเด็กกำพร้าของรัฐดีกว่า "

I want to love my King with my own heart, concioused intention.
Not to love him because the government had cutted out other options.

Thai people collectively, if we love our King wholeheartly, can banned/sanctioned YouTube, if they do nothing against this clip. And the world will listen respectfully.
(and YouTube should at least listen to their users anyway).
Thai government banned the site, without its people consent. The world will question.

We need to learn to do something by ourselves.
Expressing the love is not someone else's job.

regards,
Art
