AI?  Stand back ladies and gentlemen. AI is about to speak.   &#x1F602;    Video recovered from Nowak's phone captured him saying "Hello car" and singing to himself before yawning, while Digwa walked away from him. Nowak continued: "Innit bad man, what bad man. You're a bad man, say you're a bad man, go on." Digwa, still walking away...  Perhaps you don't know what calling someone with Indian and South-Asian characteristics 'Bad Man' means?  Hint: It's a way to taunt and mock a losing rival.  The taunting racist went out of his way to continuously hound and racially taunt and mock an innocent man that continued walking away from him.  The video cut out suddenly...... when he went from taunting and mocking the innocent Asian to chasing him down to assault him?  The taunting racist got taught a lesson.  The world has one less racist in it. &#x1F642;</description><pubDate>Wed, 03 Jun 2026 14:10:52 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Sikh Killer&#x2019;s Racist Lie Left Dying Student In Handcuffs</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395890-sikh-killers-racist-lie-left-dying-student-in-handcuffs/?do=findComment&comment=20535748]]></link><description>And to think Australia has employed over 500 ex UK police over the last few years with the intelligence of centrepedes They soon learn why aussies won't take the job</description><pubDate>Wed, 03 Jun 2026 14:10:50 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>THIM app</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395891-thim-app/?do=findComment&comment=20535747]]></link><description>Let me add to this that the app, once installed, will use NFC to read data from your passport and fll it into the online form.

If you did, you would know how they would respond  to why they are opposed to "all" gun regulation. I've been at a couple meetings and remember nothing about them but I do remember members constantly preaching outside of the meeting they will fight all restrictions and if they give in to any restriction, then the game is over.

Hunters have historically formed a significant part of the NRA's support base, and it's fair to say the NRA has been hugely influential in preventing stricter gun laws.  What I don't understand is why hunting is constantly used to justify opposition to almost every form of gun regulation. Hunting explains bolt-action rifles and shotguns. It doesn't explain the broader political fight over every category of weapon and accessory.  And as for automatic weapons, civilians already have very limited access to those (as TedG correctly implied). The real debate has been about semi-automatic firearms for decades.  The bigger question is: if the primary argument is hunting, why does the political agenda extend so far beyond hunting?  And if we're seriously arguing that a bolt-action rifle is needed so citizens can stand up to a modern government, then people making that argument are the very people who should be kept as far away from guns as possible. Then we're also right back to the absurd discussion about rocket launchers and Apache helicopters.  Now.... Let's face it, outside of hunting, farming, pest control, collecting and shooting sports, the only truly honest argument for gun ownership is often simply: "I like guns"  And that's fine. It's a far more honest position than many of the tortured justifications that get wheeled out.  People enjoy cars that are faster than any legal speed limit, watches that are more expensive than necessary, boats they don't need and guitars they can barely play. Humans like things.  What I find comical are the increasingly strained attempts to justify gun ownership through arguments that don't stand up to even basic scrutiny. If your reason is "I enjoy owning and shooting firearms", fair enough. At least that's honest.  It's the pseudo-historical, pseudo-military and often logically inconsistent excuses that tend to fall apart the moment they are examined.</description><pubDate>Wed, 03 Jun 2026 14:03:06 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>6 month Visa</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395897-6-month-visa/?do=findComment&comment=20535737]]></link><description>As suggested above...

By your late fifties and early sixties, things can change. Health and other aspects of life become more unpredictable.  I think bucket lists are a waste of time. The concept made for an entertaining film 20 years ago, but it&#x2019;s not how I think people should live. Do the travel, or whatever it is you want to do, now while you still have the chance.  I have a number of wealthy friends who have the option to do whatever they want at this point, yet they continue putting off many of their desires because they believe they&#x2019;ll get around to everything once they retire. But as we get older, our interests and motivations can change, and so can our physical capabilities. I&#x2019;ve seen plenty of people make those kinds of future plans, only never to carry them out.  Personally, I&#x2019;ll just keep doing what I&#x2019;ve always done: traveling and living life at my own rhythm, without holding back or postponing things for some distant future. Whenever the music stops, that&#x2019;s when it stops. No regrets.</description><pubDate>Wed, 03 Jun 2026 13:54:48 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
