With the pixelisation, there was no way to confirm if she was clothed, partially or otherwise. This is the first definitive comment I have seen that her body was naked. To me, this suggests whatever happened in the condo was possibly just before, during or after coitus. To me this casts doubt on the menstruation claim and the discounted fee argument. Possibly he undressed her after he had murdered her?</description><pubDate>Sun, 28 Jun 2026 11:37:47 +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=20573807]]></link><description>"As much as many appreciated Trump...years back, he is now becomming a danger to the world. But it's not his fault. It's the fault of all those before him like Obama, Clinton, Biden..." Sure... Straight after Trumps playbook: It's always the others fault.  "As long as society and all its absurd woke and rubbish talk politicians are around, there will always be people rightfully wanting to have Trumps in power..." So the society (!) and all its absurd woke and rubbish talk has to be stopped by people rightfully wanting to have autocrats or dictotors like Trump in power..."  "...to stop all the BS talk and actions." BS talk and actions by Trump, and his admin are ok for you?  "A bit like Ukraine was doint with Russia in bombing pipelines and then accusing Russia. " So Russia is bombing since Febraury 2022 Hospitals, Kindergardens, civil infrastructure etc. And you blame Ukraine for bombing refineries and military relevant infrastructre?</description><pubDate>Sun, 28 Jun 2026 11:36:40 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Texas Approves Mandatory Bible Reading in Schools</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397639-texas-approves-mandatory-bible-reading-in-schools/?do=findComment&comment=20573806]]></link><description>Are there naughty bits?

This process is actively used for individuals apprehended at or near the border, or noncitizens who entered unlawfully and cannot prove they have been continuously present in the U.S. for a specified period (such as two years) prior to their arrest. Under this process, immigration officers can issue removal orders without an appearance before a judge.  But......No, undocumented immigrants in the U.S. are generally not deported without due process. However, the amount of due process they receive varies significantly based on how long they have been in the country, their proximity to the border, and the legal pathways available to them.</description><pubDate>Sun, 28 Jun 2026 11:33:30 +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=20573803]]></link><description>Lets take this first, An unintentional missile strike on a school because of bad intel    so you admit it was bad intel !!   before a missile is fired there are international law protocols to be gone through    Proportionality: The expected collateral damage to civilians or civilian property must not be excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated from the strike.  Precaution: Attackers must take all feasible precautions to verify that targets are military objectives and choose means/methods of warfare that avoid or at least minimize incidental loss of civilian life If a commander realizes that a target is no longer a military objective, or that the strike violates the proportionality rule, they are legally required to cancel or suspend the missile launch. The schoolchildren and their primary school were not legitimate targets. International humanitarian law strictly prohibits targeting schools or civilians.  An investigation by the U.S. military and independent experts concluded the February 2026 missile strike in Minab, Iran, was the result of a tragic targeting error. The target was placed on an intelligence list because the building previously housed a naval base for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). However, the property had been walled off from the base and was actively functioning as a girls' elementary school at the time of the attack investigations into the strike's legality and calls for accountability. preliminary findings in the New York Times This is all down to  Hegseth no quarter given!!   Terrorism defies definition. We all know one man&#x2019;s terrorist is another man&#x2019;s freedom fighter; or in some cases, one man&#x2019;s terrorist is another&#x2019;s recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. The use of the word &#x201C;terrorist&#x201D; by both sides of the current conflict between Hamas and Israel underline its ambiguity. Yasser Arafat classed as a Terrorist won the peace prize  Menachem Begin classed as a Terrorist won the peace prize  Nelson Mandela classed as a Terrorist won the peace prize  You say America is a country of immigrants   which is totally correct  so why are you deporting so many without due process   https://theconversation.com/one-mans-freedom-fighter-can-we-ever-define-terrorism-11051</description><pubDate>Sun, 28 Jun 2026 11:32:20 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Texas Approves Mandatory Bible Reading in Schools</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397639-texas-approves-mandatory-bible-reading-in-schools/?do=findComment&comment=20573802]]></link><description>How is my comment racist?

Do you really think that Thai people eat dessert after a large meal? I have not noticed this.  You are correct that high daily sugar intake is a killer, and that diabetes is a problem here in Thailand. However, just out of curiosity, would you not say that most of this sugar intake is due to the consumption of sugary drinks, including sugary teas, and all other drinks.  I have not noticed that PanangGai is particularly sugary, for example, although it is both spicey and a bit sweet.  If all 7-ll sugary drinks were banned, as they should be, then we could probably reduce the diabetes medical burden here in Thailand by a huge amount.  Chinese do not eat dessert after a meal, normally, except at banquets, and similar occasions.  After a good Thai meal, the very LAST thing I want is to spoil it with a sweet dessert. But, maybe I am not like you. For sure, though, I will NOT develop Type Two Diabestes, unlke a few others around here, one supposes.</description><pubDate>Sun, 28 Jun 2026 11:20:23 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Would You Date Someone Who Is Always Fixated On Their Smartphone?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397654-would-you-date-someone-who-is-always-fixated-on-their-smartphone/?do=findComment&comment=20573791]]></link><description>I like the OP and wonder to if this type of existence is healthy.  I have no idea.  I might go a day or two without looking at my mobile other than to transfer money.  My wife gave up and no longer calls me which is fine.  My addiction is the PC but it never moves from my desk so is a non factor for large portions of each day.  I have a lovely pond with huge fish, birds, and too many snakes.  Experiencing them seems much more healthy than staring at a screen but things change.  Maybe most are getting what is important to live a quality life from their little screens while non-virtual life passes them by.    I assume we all have vivid memories of our past that still bring enjoyment and gratitude.  Can you get this from a screen and is having deep memories even important? I can remember landing a huge trout in Oak Creak, AZ in America as if it happened yesterday and that was 45 years ago.  I also remember the weekly trout fries we would have every week.  Seems important to me....</description><pubDate>Sun, 28 Jun 2026 11:17:46 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>BBC seeks Trump&#x2019;s Jan 6 records in $10bn court showdown</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397649-bbc-seeks-trumps-jan-6-records-in-10bn-court-showdown/?do=findComment&comment=20573790]]></link><description>OK thanks.
