In the popular Hunger Games series, the oppressed residents of District 12, often raised their hand in a three-finger salute - a gesture that began as a sign of gratitude and farewell, but soon evolved into a symbol of defiance. Now, the salute is being used by some Thai youngsters to show their displeasure with the military officials that have been ruling the country under martial law since they ousted the civilian government in May 2014. And just like the leaders of the dystopian society, Thailand's rulers are not too thrilled.

    Well, this is better than threatening them with a nuclear war(hint, hint, America).

      Yeah, you are totally right. (Does America know how to take a hint? Or are they building walls around our suggestions, too?
