Why is ASEAN NOW Community Pub among Thailand's Most Popular Forums?
Pretty much all of them that I tried, 'news' forums for instance. Open forums and see if you have a 'start a new topic' button. I don't bother searching the forums to post, just put in 'lounge'. It will get seen & moved if mods or someone wants it. I don't bother much with anything any more. Think I've lost interest in the forum. Solar & EVs was my only interest in joining. Never did like TV, and didn't realize AN was TV, simply renamed, and better format. AI generated topics don't interest me, as usually silly and just wrong or bias. Trolls are annoying, though I'm past replying to them. Probably 20+k replies, post are to them, sadly. Aside for a left leaning forum, which I'm not. Lately I'll scan through 6 hours of 'new content' in about 5 mins. Most new threads are AI generated, or the same silly questions from the same silly people, most on my ignore list. AN is a very quick read now. I finished with my EV, Solar & budget thread, so isn't much more I can add to the forum. Nothing for me to take away from. Food & eating healthy was interesting for a while. Photography & drones don't get much interest. It is what it is, or was, and why the lounge gets more attention, as people are allowed to express their opinions or thoughts, with less complaining and or moderation. Seems every thread, has some info on the 1st page, then the rest is 'hand bags @ 10 paces' or my 'mines bigger'. PEACE OUT -

Britain’s Sharia Courts and the Challenge of Religious Freedom
Having worked across MENA for the best of 20 years, I have witnessed 1st hand many things that are negative about Islam. You are confusing exceptions with " The Norm " If you are referring to the ambulance driver. Avail yourself to the amount of Muslims that have been removed from the the Police in the UK, especially the Met. That info is freely available to the general public, if you know where to find it. I still await your answer on how you can be supportive of such a misogynistic religion / way of life. I hope you have an answer for the millions of female muslims denied education. I hope you have an answer for the millions of female muslims that cannot venture out without a male chaperone. I hope you have an answer for the millions of female muslims that are forced to be covered head to toe when they leave the house. I hope you have an answer for all the female muslims that have lost a sister to the abomination that is called Honour Killings. Need me to go on ? -

A Christmas Day bust-up down the 7/11.
One of the forum rules is about being overly negative about other races. But Bob is not only negative, he makes up complete and utter BS to encourage overly negative stories about other races. He is a plonker. -
