I had a parachute, a large unpopulated area to land in, I could control the direction of travel by pulling on the toggles.  That is far safer than riding a motorbike in Thailand with so many bad drivers around me who are mostly untrained Thai riders/drivers, no matter how much experience I have I can not stop a car ramming me from behind at speed.  I can of course ride a motorbike, any idiot can ride one, the question is am I stupid enough to think I am safe in Thailand on one, that is not possible.  I suppose riding one in a small village at the ars-e end of nowhere it is much safer, but in places like Phuket that would be really silly.</description><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 11:18:41 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Trump Heads Home Empty-Handed After Xi Plays Him For A Fool</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394615-trump-heads-home-empty-handed-after-xi-plays-him-for-a-fool/?do=findComment&comment=20509877]]></link><description>Nixon was a bad president but his failures and crimes pale in comparison to Trump. Also I don't think he was particularly financially corrupt or a grifter like Trump who is without any doubt the most corrupt president in history. Also in the end he respected the constitution, and we already know Trump has no regard for the constitution or rule of law. It feels weird saying good things about Nixon but now we know how bad a president can really get. The founders never imagined a Trump would ever happeb, Nixon's major accomplishment was opening up China. I truly wonder if Nixon had been shown a video of a US president supplicating before a modern Chinese emperor whether he might have decided -- never mind, better not do it!</description><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 11:17:11 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Fake Moustaches Help UK Kids Bypass Online Age Checks</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394629-fake-moustaches-help-uk-kids-bypass-online-age-checks/?do=findComment&comment=20509876]]></link><description>The way its going any rally or protest will get the same result.</description><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 11:16:36 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Brit Couple Return Home After Thai Surgery Ordeal</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394608-brit-couple-return-home-after-thai-surgery-ordeal/?do=findComment&comment=20509875]]></link><description>I agree that horseback exclusion is somewhat surprising. The failure to inform the couple of this exclusion might have something to do with how travel insurance is sold, i.e., through a travel agent or on line, rather than directly from a full service insurance agent. Seems like a good agent would review such exclusions carefully with a customer, rather than just handing them an envelope with a policy in it, but a customer has a duty to understand limitations of coverage too. Curious about the policy wording: would a child riding a shetland pony led by hand by a handler at a petting zoo be excluded as well?</description><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 11:16:13 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Spencer Pratt For Mayor of LA.</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394142-spencer-pratt-for-mayor-of-la/?do=findComment&comment=20509874]]></link><description>It&#x2019;s time for real communism.</description><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 11:14:32 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Fake Moustaches Help UK Kids Bypass Online Age Checks</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394629-fake-moustaches-help-uk-kids-bypass-online-age-checks/?do=findComment&comment=20509873]]></link><description>Get caught at a 'far right' rally, and they'll just switch your life off!</description><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 11:14:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Word Association - 2026</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1383425-word-association-2026/?do=findComment&comment=20509872]]></link><description>Seaworthy</description><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 11:13:10 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Fake Moustaches Help UK Kids Bypass Online Age Checks</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394629-fake-moustaches-help-uk-kids-bypass-online-age-checks/?do=findComment&comment=20509871]]></link><description>@BritManToo yes that's what I said above so agree entirely it was and always has been a rouse to bring in the digital panopticon.
