A part of Labour's insistence on us all having ID cards. Little by little it will lead to no one, adults included being able to use any part of the internet without giving ID. No privacy or encryption for the public. But like many ill thought out plans, it will have unintended consequences, and there will likely be future data breaches where people will have their personal data stolen because it is being stored on internet companies servers.  Already, Australia's version is proving this, and now other countries are also jumping on the bandwagon.</description><pubDate>Wed, 17 Jun 2026 00:55:31 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Anutin Orders Faster Deportation of Foreign Criminals</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396875-anutin-orders-faster-deportation-of-foreign-criminals/?do=findComment&comment=20556582]]></link><description>2045?

Israel has been &#x201C;ordered&#x201D; by Trump to stop hitting Lebanon.  Israel is damned if it does and damned if it doesn&#x2019;t. Hit Lebanon, lose America. Don&#x2019;t hit Lebanon, lose these wars with Iran AND Lebanon.  This will push Israel into something clandestine, activity they excel at.

In the prior version, the indictment alleged that an SPLC employee who opened the bank accounts in question made "false or misleading statements."  But the Supreme Court last year, in Thompson v. USA, ruled that the bank fraud statute at issue only criminalizes false statements &#x2014; and not statements that are misleading but not false.   The new version of the indictment no longer includes the words "or misleading" in reference to the statements made to banks.

There is no real escape, except up in the mountains. How is the hygiene in India? And can you travel freely almost everywhere and still feel safe?  If India was an alternative, I would have chosen Fortaleza in Brazil instead. Safety wise, it is not especially good, but the stabile climate and clean air year around would outweigh India for me. I would also choose it over the Philippines, Cambodia, and even Vietnam.</description><pubDate>Wed, 17 Jun 2026 00:45:53 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Fixed account</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396890-fixed-account/?do=findComment&comment=20556575]]></link><description>Thank you</description><pubDate>Wed, 17 Jun 2026 00:45:30 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>America&#x2019;s Worst Generation Is Dumber Than Us, Research Confirms</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396580-americas-worst-generation-is-dumber-than-us-research-confirms/?do=findComment&comment=20556574]]></link><description>That&#x2019;s some achievement when the rest of the world thinks the average yank is (how to say this politely) a bit dim.</description><pubDate>Wed, 17 Jun 2026 00:45:05 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>One in six sees Muslim population growth as threat, study warns</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396801-one-in-six-sees-muslim-population-growth-as-threat-study-warns/?do=findComment&comment=20556573]]></link><description>The sooner the west admits we are at war with militant Islam the better.

I find it incredible that sane, educated men would even consider the possibility of the existence of god.  The whole idea is preposterous.  Regarding proof however, there is proof that religious texts supporting the existence of god is incorrect.  Every religious text said to be divine is incorrect too.  These texts, purportedly divine, were written by man and described scholastic thinking of the time period which scientifically has been disproven today.  We know that humans and apes share a common ancestor, two branches of the same evolutionary tree. There is no room for the bible&#x2019;s explanations in any of that.  Whilst I am certain god does not exist, I am less certain of some other examples of post-death, pre-birth events, but I&#x2019;m sure there is no god in those either.</description><pubDate>Wed, 17 Jun 2026 00:39:37 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Fixed account</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396890-fixed-account/?do=findComment&comment=20556571]]></link><description>Should not be required.

No, I didn't offer the yellow house book with the usual papers handed to the IO at the beginning of the meeting. I had never needed to show it (and give a photocopy) over the years at CW, but I had read a note here on asean.com that they were asking for that now, as well as for a photocopy of the pink ID card, so I came armed with both.  When the IO asked for the photocopy of the yellow book, I handed it over (but was not asked for the original).   They did not ask for the pink ID card,.  If I may, the yellow house book (and the blue one) was a piece of cake at my district office. You show them the deed (chanote) and sale contract (stamped by the Land Office), and you get both books. The pink card was a bit trickier and required a Thai witness, but they issued that to me, too. Every official document with my name on it makes me feel more secure here in LOS.</description><pubDate>Wed, 17 Jun 2026 00:33:09 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Thailand Named World&#x2019;s Second-Best Retirement Destination</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396844-thailand-named-worlds-second-best-retirement-destination/?do=findComment&comment=20556567]]></link><description>you should know. you been to 60 provinces.</description><pubDate>Wed, 17 Jun 2026 00:31:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>White House UFC Attack Plot Foiled, Five Arrested</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396876-white-house-ufc-attack-plot-foiled-five-arrested/?do=findComment&comment=20556566]]></link><description>Please explain why Trump is a fascist or are you once again simply parroting MSM/leftist rhetoric.</description><pubDate>Wed, 17 Jun 2026 00:30:47 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>One in six sees Muslim population growth as threat, study warns</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396801-one-in-six-sees-muslim-population-growth-as-threat-study-warns/?do=findComment&comment=20556565]]></link><description>The birthrate is not slowing down in the awful continent.</description><enclosure url="https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2026_06/Screenshot2026-06-16at8_24_57PM.png.94300c4cdab4bad8b2466336daa7a283.png" length="199122" type="image/png"/><pubDate>Wed, 17 Jun 2026 00:26:59 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>The party whose Member represents a Nazi, News</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396450-the-party-whose-member-represents-a-nazi-news/?do=findComment&comment=20556564]]></link><description>Nobody seems to know what Nazism is, or what it is to be a Nazi.
