20 years for insulting royalty... that's not an overreaction at all.

Speaking one's mind and expressing one opinions (both praise and criticism) should be a basic human right regardless of nationality. In countries where this right does not exist, you have to ask yourself "What are they afraid of'?

Not only that, but I hear that in Thailand, you have to go on all fours when you're in the presence of the king. That is absolutely degrading in this day and age.

Thailand has very strict laws regarding lese Majeste,ANYONE Thai nationals,US citizens or German nationals etc will get sent to prison & NO EXCEPTIONS are made. Why these laws are so strict,why are they always inforced & why don't they scrap the the laws I do not know!
