Next door to the hotel was a completely dark as night restaurant. Even the waiters didn't use flashlights. But there was a thin line of line, maybe as thick as a pencil. I had to peer in and there were lots of teenagers.  I spent time living in a brothel in Ubon and a couple of the girls gave me their school photos.  All this is not unusual even today.</description><pubDate>Sun, 31 May 2026 17:14:40 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Trump wants his portrait on 250$ bill</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395656-trump-wants-his-portrait-on-250-bill/?do=findComment&comment=20531709]]></link><description>The only place I can think of that would be appropriate to have his name displayed is on an outhouse.

For rather obvious reasons.  I  think the opinion of someone who has hunted regularly, carries a bit more weight than someone who clearly has no hunting experience at all.

I still believe that Trump was on the correct trajectory...until....he became suddenly bamboozled due to the wiles of The BB.  b. I have NEVER lost faith in Elon.  c. I will put my faith in Elon, rather than some nonexistent supreme being, called GOD.  d. Elon, of course, is not a god. But, he is the closest thing to a benevolent god that we have, these days.  I am NOT joking, Sir.  ==============  In Point of Fact:  Elon Musk just might be the very LAST HOPE that we have to protect this precious thing we call.....  Intelligence in the Universe  We now know that intelligence, similar to that of us humans, might have happened only ONCE, due to an astronomically rare set of consecutive evolutionary events which was dependent upon such things as the exact distance of the Earth from the Sun, and much more.  Elon appreciates this rarity.  He wants to protect this form of intelligence.....  We must never bet against Elon, or .....  The universe will become a very lonely infinity of space, with no entity to appreciate this loneliness.  So sad, really....if our world were to just go BOOM..... And then, what would be left?

Again: No massive wars wold have taken place without the agreement of "little people". No army can walk without the support of "little people". It's up to us "little people" that we refuse to walk in any battlefield, just because the "rulers" said it is absolutely necessary, It's the "little people" that make devastating wars possible. I remain: Devastating wars are only possible by the approval of "little people".</description><pubDate>Sun, 31 May 2026 17:01:04 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Trump wants his portrait on 250$ bill</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395656-trump-wants-his-portrait-on-250-bill/?do=findComment&comment=20531697]]></link><description>Trump is likely the least charitable man in the history of mankind, along with Elon Musk, relative to their net worth, so I wouldn't count on a decent gesture like that.

Now you&#x2019;re doing the exact same thing with Musk. Ignoring facts, science, data, economics, and blindly following him into the meat grinder just the same. I assume that at some point you&#x2019;ll stop ignoring reality and suffer an equally life altering epiphany when you realize Musk is the biggest drug addicted, pathological narcissist scammer of our time. In fact, all you need to do is watch the video above and stop ignoring facts.</description><pubDate>Sun, 31 May 2026 16:59:22 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Thailand Visa Cut Sparks Tourism Debate</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395691-thailand-visa-cut-sparks-tourism-debate/?do=findComment&comment=20531695]]></link><description>This was always going to be the issue Thailand had.   Fair play if you want to legalise it, but it has to be policed and controlled within the laws you have set. So you don't have (what we have now) by which you have trashy visitors just smoking it in public - this in turn does put of many families with children, and those who don't want to be around this. It does turn off tourists.   In California if you smoke it in public (the way you would see a council estate cheap trash visitor in Pattaya doing) you would have a very hard custodial sentance, criminal record and a fine - they don't mess around there.</description><pubDate>Sun, 31 May 2026 16:58:54 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>USA immigration and customs  enforcement ,protecting the homeland&#x2026;News</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1366266-usa-immigration-and-customs-enforcement-protecting-the-homeland%E2%80%A6news/?do=findComment&comment=20531694]]></link><description>Foreign national criminal unlawful activity in the USA makes the news everyday compared to the previous admin, hardly ever.

I loved their music very much. Some of the most inspiring and sophisticated music of their time. A shame they didn't make more before it all fell apart. One of the best electric guitar solos of all time occurred in one of their lesser known tracks titled "I Love You... I'll Kill You"  I also saw a recent video somebody posted on YT which explained how the relationship between the German couple behind the music arrangement descended into chaos and despair and eventually caused the collapse of their band. All very sad. Michael Cretu is a musical genius though. Romanian actually, but grew up in Germany and married a German woman.</description><pubDate>Sun, 31 May 2026 16:51:59 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What New Computer Setup?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395421-what-new-computer-setup/?do=findComment&comment=20531691]]></link><description>Was your laptop less than 6000 baht?</description><pubDate>Sun, 31 May 2026 16:51:06 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Gamma, Did Elon Musk Just Rig The Stock Market?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395791-gamma-did-elon-musk-just-rig-the-stock-market/?do=findComment&comment=20531690]]></link><description>Are you asking me?  IMHO....Elon, my fellow alum, will do what must be done to save Humanity from Itself.  I LOVE Elon.  A man such as Elon is born to Humanity only once in 10 generations.  I love Elon.  Naturally, on occasion, he errs in judgement, but only rarely.  Never bet against Elon.  Now, we are waiting the splash of SpaceX.....and a TWO-TRILLION valuation.  Personally, I think TWO TRILLION significantly undervalues Elon's contribution to the Human Race.  I am not the only one.  NOTE:  If it were up to me, which it is not....I would have the US Gov match Elon's Two-Trillion, and allow this Genius to play around with FOUR TRILLION USD, instead of just Two Trillion.  Unfortunately, it seems, the US Gov, and the US People, are just, sadly, too shortsighted to make this good move.  I TRUST IN MUSK  I do not trust in God.</description><pubDate>Sun, 31 May 2026 16:48:51 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Has Trump completely lost the plot?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395777-has-trump-completely-lost-the-plot/?do=findComment&comment=20531689]]></link><description>If he's really lucky he might get 250 people to show up!</description><pubDate>Sun, 31 May 2026 16:47:46 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Police Arrest Karaoke Owner, For Using Underage Girls</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395749-police-arrest-karaoke-owner-for-using-underage-girls/?do=findComment&comment=20531688]]></link><description>Couple of decades ago when I first got to Thailand and got my first teaching job I went to a club one night with some other teachers.
