Are you able to explain what point has been proven? I can. I have proved that you tend to have violent fantasies about situations that can and should be solved by discussion and with compassion. You do not have that ability and so instead you imagine violence. This is not the first time we have had such a discussion, as there have been other occasions where you imagined violence as a solution to your inner frustrations. These are facts. This has nothing to do with your imagined grudges. That is perhaps your own guilty conscience. If you post something about which I agree or even strongly agree, I would have no issue with making that clear. I'm not someone with a immature mind, taken to imagining violence when at the end of my tether. How about yourself? Now, tell me, what you have proven?</description><pubDate>Sun, 28 Jun 2026 06:58:24 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Politics, PC, un-PC, any subject, Satire via MEME or Vid (shorts)</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1325294-politics-pc-un-pc-any-subject-satire-via-meme-or-vid-shorts/?do=findComment&comment=20573455]]></link><description/><enclosure url="https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2026_06/image.png.b700167a69a68d61124170fa335678aa.png" length="357207" type="image/png"/><pubDate>Sun, 28 Jun 2026 06:55:55 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>The Deep State Firings Have Begun</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397372-the-deep-state-firings-have-begun/?do=findComment&comment=20573454]]></link><description>Funny how we always need somebody to blame, eh. I think Dr. Fauci will go to his grave satisfied with his actions resulting from the scientific method.  What it comes down to is--Did you take the jab? If you did and you're still questioning, you're a hypocrite.  Bobby Jr's messing with the in-place, effective vaccine schedule is twittery-with-power at its finest. He'll be dead before American parents start losing their children to preventable disease.  I'm neither pro-vax or anti-vax. I just want to see results that benefit humans.

He's quite a big solid guy and he has to murder a little 17yo Thai gal with a knife in self defense??? In my younger wilder days I once had a drunk Thai GF come at me with a large knife. I disarmed her in a couple of seconds. Grabbed her arm and smashed it down hard on the back of a chair, she screamed in pain and immediately dropped the knife, which I picked up and put away. There was no need to hit her or wrestle with her. Just disarm her fast. Anyway RIP the poor girl.</description><pubDate>Sun, 28 Jun 2026 06:55:15 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>&#x2018;Delusional Insanity&#x2019;: Trump's Wild New Claim Gets Hit</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397479-delusional-insanity-trumps-wild-new-claim-gets-hit/?do=findComment&comment=20573452]]></link><description>Why cant you get it into your head Fred, thanks to your President he caused Economic misery around the world with oil and fuel prices going through the roof, and before you come back with the old  " Iran prevented tankers passing through the Straits nonsense " Trump caused all this, by sticking his nose into Irans buisness.</description><pubDate>Sun, 28 Jun 2026 06:54:25 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>June 29th, Power cut Chaweng Beach, Centara-area from 9am to 16pm</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397646-june-29th-power-cut-chaweng-beach-centara-area-from-9am-to-16pm/?do=findComment&comment=20573451]]></link><description>Info from PEA:  &#x1F4E3; Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Provincial Electricity Authority, Koh Samui Branch &#x1F3DD;&#xFE0F; &#x274C; will temporarily interrupt the power supply &#x274C; &#x1F4A1; for the purpose of upgrading the distribution system &#x274C;&#x26A1;&#xFE0F; &#x1F5D3;&#xFE0F; Date: June 29, 2026 &#x1F558; Time: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM &#x1F4CD; Area: Chaweng Beach Waiting Area - Mercure Hotel &#x1F4CD; Affected areas can be found in map &#x1F6A8;&#x1F6A8; Please note that if the work is completed before the scheduled time, power will be restored earlier.

A good pharmacist could be allowed to do much more. Thus freeing up much surgery time. Instead seeing a doctor has become difficult and pharmacists are closing.  Things have changed somewhat in the UK more recently, largely because of the increasing pressure on GPs and the NHS.  A growing range of medicines can now be obtained through regulated UK online pharmacy services by completing an online medical questionnaire. These pharmacies employ independent prescriber status, or operate pharmacist prescribing services, which assess the information provided and, where appropriate, issue a private prescription without the need for a GP appointment.  This goes well beyond the traditional over-the-counter medicines that have always been available. While many of these medicines remain legally prescription-only, they can often be prescribed and supplied entirely online following a clinical assessment.  For relatively straightforward conditions, this can include treatments such as steroid eye or ear drops, antibiotics, and a variety of other prescription medicines, provided the prescriber considers them clinically appropriate.  Its still a lot easier to get what we need in Thailand - and as mentioned above - a good Pharmacist is 'permitted' to offer much more - in a way, they are often like visiting a GP when we have simple ailments.</description><pubDate>Sun, 28 Jun 2026 06:52:03 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>&#x2018;Delusional Insanity&#x2019;: Trump's Wild New Claim Gets Hit</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397479-delusional-insanity-trumps-wild-new-claim-gets-hit/?do=findComment&comment=20573446]]></link><description>This appears to be a somewhat 'unhinged' rant, replete with threats and rather obvious projection. Accusing others of being 'one-sided. You appear fixated on the fantasy of Iran needing to be saved by Israel and the USA and so you base your whole premise on that. Accept that others can have a valid opinion, rather than dismissing them as 'hating America'. That's just the same tactic, as the people who try to dismiss any criticism of Israel as 'Jew-hater'.  I suggest that you are becoming somewhat emotionally involved in this discussion, leading you to express irrational thoughts.</description><pubDate>Sun, 28 Jun 2026 06:51:49 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Going-To-The-Dogs?: 2nd-Gen Asian-Americans?
