That can be easily done in a legal way." if you eventually admit that no business can be successful without dodging the rules? That is incoherent to me.</description><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 03:29:48 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Israeli Marchers Chant &#x2018;Death to Arabs&#x2019; in Jerusalem</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394526-israeli-marchers-chant-death-to-arabs-in-jerusalem/?do=findComment&comment=20509291]]></link><description>Five independent sources, two of them Israeli.  It's not just that; I have friends in Israel I used to work with.  They all the same view, they want the Palestinians gone and if it's genocide, they are happy with that.  Most Israeli's literally hate the Palestinians in Gaza, they are not viewed as Human Beings.  The comments shouted, don't surprise me.  But equally, comments shouted in a march are most meaningless, lemmings following one another, sheeple.</description><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 03:29:40 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Trump Warns Taiwan Not to Declare Independence</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394588-trump-warns-taiwan-not-to-declare-independence/?do=findComment&comment=20509290]]></link><description>He can&#x2019;t sell out Taiwan fast enough just like he shanked Ukraine and our erstwhile allies in Europe&#x2026;&#x2026;.never in my worst nightmares did I think my country could possibly be in this position just beggers belief.what we should be doing if we had COMPITENT leadership that was trustworthy is as a world show the flag by the worlds navy&#x2019;s together sailing the Taiwan straights showing our unqualified support for Taiwan and democracy&#x2026;&#x2026;.instead we have a cartoon president who is also a felon kowtowing to his betters.sad and pathetic.</description><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 03:28:32 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Bristol UK - Neo Nazi Jailed for attempted murder.</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394612-bristol-uk-neo-nazi-jailed-for-attempted-murder/?do=findComment&comment=20509289]]></link><description>At the time, Bristol was portrayed in mainstream media as the epicenter of England's cancel culture.</description><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 03:28:24 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Beautiful news - my own 7-11</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394507-beautiful-news-my-own-7-11/?do=findComment&comment=20509288]]></link><description>My view as well  Good luck with the venture and I hope you do well</description><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 03:28:22 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Brit Couple Return Home After Thai Surgery Ordeal</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394608-brit-couple-return-home-after-thai-surgery-ordeal/?do=findComment&comment=20509287]]></link><description>fabulous system, service, staff etc imo.........there might be issues, but when it's serious, I doubt there's a better equivalent worldwide, speaking from experience............</description><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 03:28:19 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Bristol UK - Neo Nazi Jailed for attempted murder.</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394612-bristol-uk-neo-nazi-jailed-for-attempted-murder/?do=findComment&comment=20509286]]></link><description>Now, do not pretend to know what I'm meaning.</description><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 03:26:31 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Word Association - 2026</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1383425-word-association-2026/?do=findComment&comment=20509285]]></link><description>Skin</description><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 03:25:50 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>no more fast track for business class</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394458-no-more-fast-track-for-business-class/?do=findComment&comment=20509284]]></link><description>They covered up the words "AND PRIORITY" on those signs with a piece of white paper several months ago.

He possesses not a shred of loyalty to the British people.  And, as now apparent, his party and what it stands for (or at least what it once stood for) means nothing to him.  Legislation is required to ensure that there is no repetition of this in the future.  Governments that are elected on false promises must be removable in the interests of democracy and the moral and physical well-being of the nation.  Otherwise you have a Trump or Zelensky style situation.  The U.S. is in a similar predicament to the U.K.</description><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 03:23:40 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Bristol UK - Neo Nazi Jailed for attempted murder.</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394612-bristol-uk-neo-nazi-jailed-for-attempted-murder/?do=findComment&comment=20509275]]></link><description>Now, do not pretent that you didn't mean him .</description><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 03:20:44 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Pattaya Ladyboys Rob Swedish Tourist of 100,000 Baht</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394572-pattaya-ladyboys-rob-swedish-tourist-of-100000-baht/?do=findComment&comment=20509274]]></link><description>This guy gets no sympathy from me especially inviting 2 Ladyboys back  to his room  You would have thought ladyboys and Pattayas reputation would proceed it  People never learn</description><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 03:20:36 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Beautiful news - my own 7-11</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394507-beautiful-news-my-own-7-11/?do=findComment&comment=20509273]]></link><description>Not a problem literally "opening," use door keys. Owning a 7-11 franchisee as a Store Business Partner (franchisee) through CP ALL is more complicated. As a foreigner franchisee: You must operate a specific branch under CP ALL's brand and guidelines. You must legally register a Thai juristic entity (e.g., a Thai limited company where Thais hold at least 51% of the shares) Must have permission to work in the franchsee as a foreigner.</description><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 03:19:20 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Brit Faced Large Bill After Thailand Bike Crash</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394609-brit-faced-large-bill-after-thailand-bike-crash/?do=findComment&comment=20509272]]></link><description>Insurance companies are scams they don&#x2019;t pay out even if you have it</description><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 03:19:19 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Jew hatred has become fashionable especially among young people</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394199-jew-hatred-has-become-fashionable-especially-among-young-people/?do=findComment&comment=20509271]]></link><description>Islamophobia ?</description><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 03:18:58 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Pattaya Ladyboys Rob Swedish Tourist of 100,000 Baht</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394572-pattaya-ladyboys-rob-swedish-tourist-of-100000-baht/?do=findComment&comment=20509270]]></link><description>How is he gonna prove they opened the safe and stole all his cash, other than fingerprints on the tiny safe key.</description><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 03:18:26 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Word Association - 2026</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1383425-word-association-2026/?do=findComment&comment=20509269]]></link><description>Cancer</description><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 03:17:56 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>British Man Arrested in Pattaya Over Phuket Killing</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394591-british-man-arrested-in-pattaya-over-phuket-killing/?do=findComment&comment=20509268]]></link><description>Indeed whether it is in paper or electronic the fact is we can all be traced quite easily these days</description><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 03:17:54 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
