  1. Another outrageous action to shock innocent expats.
  2. I doubt he has much mortal authority as head of a church infamous for pedophile priests. Better to start with an atheist's idea called the three laws of robotics. Just exchange the word robot for AI. 1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3.A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. (This is the problem when you can't delete a post)
  3. White people broke every agreement they had with various tribes across North America. Thus, compensation should go to the tribes they had agreements with. The theory that god had given them a right to the land was called Manifest Destiny. Similar to the "Promised Land" being a god-given right to the land of Judea.
  4. Pretty good analysis. Proportional representation would help keep the Tories out of government. Unfortunately, only the losing parties ever agree it is a good idea.
  5. Seems like he is making a good point that the Move Forward Party has the right idea.
  6. The article isn't clear. Will SAAB sell directly or go through an agent? Without an agent, how will the RTAF top brass get their commission?
  7. This is such a complex problem. A manufacturer makes a product that people don't reuse so the onus falls on the manufacturer - who does not sell directly to consumers - to take a major role in the cleanup. Never mind that consumers do not reuse or dispose of plastic waste correctly. On the other hand, a manufacturer who makes a product that definitely kills hundreds of thousands a year is never to blame. When was the last time a car manufacturer was censured for the deaths of people? Because it is ludicrous to blame them for building cars that can go 40km an hour faster than the legal speed limit?
  8. When tourists find out they can't swim in the ocean, bang goes the tourist industry.
  9. The conservatives have been in government since 2010. The council is not in charge of the police force.
  10. You could have been right if Covid hadn't happened. It looks like he inherited an upward trend.
  11. There is plenty of video around showing how healthy he is. If he had fallen sick in just a few hours, the court could request the medical records.
  12. Thanks for replying. It is only the reply box that doesn't work. I can read the site. I haven't changed anything recently, or at all in the last few years. Also, the icons except for "like" do not pop up. I had assumed that AseanNow had changed or updated something recently. P.S. I tried to download other browsers, like Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Opera, Edge etc., and all of them refused to download and install because of iOS 12 .
  13. Thanks mate. I had tried that previously and tried it once more just in case. Still doesn't allow replies as seen on this photo (taken with my Samsung)
  14. I only have Safari and a text browser. Every other browser won't download because they require iOS 14 and up. Thanks.
  15. I have an old ipad with iOS 12. Everything regarding ASEAN Now worked fine until a few months ago. I am now unable to respond to items as the reply box has become small and unusable. See the attachment. The emojis don't work either. I can login and read the site. Everything is normal on my Android phone, PC and laptop. Has anyone else has this problem? How can it be solved?
  16. Good to see young people getting involved in politics.
  17. If they are for observation only (Thailand would never attack its mates in Myanmar) the ordinary consumer drones work fine for patrolling the border. Perhaps infrared cameras for night patrols but for daytime, anything with a good battery.
  18. There's a lot worse drugs than cannabis or marijuana. Heroin Cocaine Crack Cocaine Alcohol Nicotine Fentanyl Barbiturates Methadone Crystal meth Amphetamines Benzodiazepines (Xanax) | | | v Cannabis
  19. I guess that people who rail against criminals ("hang them!" and "throw away the key!") will be the first to complain about additional security measures.
  20. Yes but these are supposed to be active civilizations not one off crashes.
  21. The fact the prawns are of the ai ngo (stupid) type implies she should have grown the ai chalat (clever) type.
  22. Every "end this trade" here ends with "create more unemployment."
  23. It's the speed of light that is the obstacle to inter Galaxy travel. The idea that anything with advanced technology could hide on earth with all the satellites we have today is another obstacle to belief.
  24. How to create new terrorists 101.
  25. Off topic but I keep reading how Biden is senile! Seems to be doing fine.
