Are you really that unpopular in person?   Are you really proposing that 250 million US adults should be routinely carrying AR-15s in public? Because that level of insanity isn't an argument for gun rights. It's an argument for why the rest of the developed world looks at the US gun debate and thinks it's lost the plot.  People who dream of walking around with an AR-15 slung over their shoulder are often the poster boys for stricter gun laws.</description><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 06:37:10 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Doctor Dies After Brit Rider Crash on Phangan</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396256-doctor-dies-after-brit-rider-crash-on-phangan/?do=findComment&comment=20542871]]></link><description>The story printed " he was tested positive for Cocaine "</description><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 06:36:26 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Funding Dispute Delays Thailand Airports Rail Project</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396221-funding-dispute-delays-thailand-airports-rail-project/?do=findComment&comment=20542870]]></link><description>So, like the HST project Bangkok to Korat and then the extension to Nong Khai and Vientianne, How many light years away??</description><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 06:36:25 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Woman Dies After Centipede Bite in Si Racha</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396220-woman-dies-after-centipede-bite-in-si-racha/?do=findComment&comment=20542869]]></link><description>Yes, appreciate that she probably didn&#x2019;t feel badly enough to want go to a government hospital.

On a permanent basis.  We know that Trump is but a symptom, and supported by 10s of millions even now. That's why the ex-Fox Saturday Morning anchor is in a position to insult, on America's behalf, a whole bunch of decent, democratic countries who are bone tired of the US, on a deeply solemn day of remembrance. Remembrance of the price our  forbears paid to dismantle fascism.   Juvenile is the kindest thing that can be said of Hegseth and his deranged monologue. A high-school student would have been given a 'fail' for such a ridiculous and puerile essay. One totally lacking any understanding of the issues involved and definitely unfit for the venue and the event.  Sorry but it'll take more than a few mid-term elections and a new president to convince an incredulous world of that. It's a generational task you face now.  Let's hope you make a better job of post-Iron Curtain reform than the Russians did. The evidence so far doesn't bode well. Exhibit Nr. (lost count): Hegseth.</description><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 06:35:44 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Members Poll: REMOVE  the Emojis ?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396206-members-poll-remove-the-emojis/?do=findComment&comment=20542867]]></link><description>My truthful comments are not offensive.

Many people who don't have medical insurance use the ER exclusively for this reason, when a clinic would have been a more sensible place to seek treatment. And any legal resident who is truly indigent can receive government sponsored insurance FOC.  In contrast, as a foreign resident, I have been to Thai public hospitals who have always demanded payment prior to treating me. Yes, it was very inexpensive and I gladly paid, but I doubt I would have received treatment without paying.</description><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 06:30:44 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Non O for being parent to thai kid with 400K only for two weeks</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396309-non-o-for-being-parent-to-thai-kid-with-400k-only-for-two-weeks/?do=findComment&comment=20542861]]></link><description>oh i mean i did many years of this visa and they knew i didnt have full but shared custody and it was fine</description><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 06:30:41 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Trump's ceasefire chaos: wars rage as deals collapse</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396258-trumps-ceasefire-chaos-wars-rage-as-deals-collapse/?do=findComment&comment=20542860]]></link><description>Incorrect.

A gun is the best defense against these, especially for a trained user woman.   It's not the society that's dangerous by any means but there is a criminal element in all countries, and the US has quite a few. Japan has only about 18,000 home invasions yearly, although it's a much smaller country. The UK about 200,000, France 217,000, Australia  200,000, New Zealand very small has about 60,000, Germany 75,000, and Singapore less than 200. No guns allowed and still they have trouble. The UK does have over 50,000 knife attacks yearly, no guns, so no chance of stopping those from happening. The US is comprised of people from all countries, all who could own guns with a green card.   Most US citizens will never see a gun crime, let alone be invaded, but when it does happen, a gun could mean the difference in going to a funeral for a family member, and eliminating a criminal that has no business entering your home.   if I could own a gun here I would, as many gun crimes happen each day in Thailand, and very rarely by a foreigner. It's getting worse here every year, and there are mass shootings that have happened in Thailand for a very long time.   What can be done to stop gun crimes besides using guns? Besides what I suggested, which has also been suggested to those living in the US? People don't want to be a statistic, so they buy guns, hoping they'll never have to use them for self defense.</description><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 06:28:52 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
