Comments:Australian writer Harry Nicolaides jailed for three years for insulting Thai Royal Family

What a screwed up country, and I say that from the bottom of my heart. That passage is NOTHING. Come to America you insecure "king", you will get ripped apart. Freedom of speech is amazing innit?

Nicolaies knew full well that he was breaking Thai law when he diseresected Thai royalty. I have no sympathy for the man. None.


 * Would you feel that way if he had broken a law that prevented that prevented him from practicing religious beliefs? What if the law prevented him from criticizing an elected official? Moreover, whether or not you have sympathy is really besides the point; I don't need to like what someone has to say to defend their right to say it. JoshuaZ (talk) 03:08, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

I hope he does get pardoned.
