Aseannow is all about trump and Europe, not much about Thailand

[MalcolmB]

I was hoping after the election all the boring Trump stuff would disappear from this forum and we would get back to Thai news and life.

But it has got worse. 
It seems most of the posters couldn’t even name the current Thai PM but seem obsessed by America, despite not living in the USA or even being American.

Endless arguments, half of it BS, and nobody will change their views anyway.

 

Under Topics right now we have 

Bidens Last Stand

Here is Your War Monger MAGA

Global Penis Size Rankings USA Falls Behind

British Motorcycle Rider dies- Thai related but old news

It was so enjoyable watching Harris….

META moves to free speech

Musk….

 

So much interesting stuff happening in Thailand but everyone seems obsessed with American krap.

Should be called AmericanNow.

 

Would it be a good idea for Aseannow to employ someone who can speak Thai? So we could have some Thai news?

It could be great this forum for expats and thai tourists with proper content.

[CharlieH]

There are 100 forums here, and you choose to focus on 2 or 3 specific forums that are open where people can discuss politics !(soapbox) and what they choose.

 

There is a Thailand News section where around 60 articles A DAY are posted every day.

 

Hope the rant made you feel better 😀

 

 

[brewsterbudgen]

Just stick to the Thai News forums and avoid the World News ones.

Dude is the first one to toss anti semitic, anti Trump, anti American comments into every topic and then whinges.

r content.

It probably would disappear, IF, "some folks" would stop starting threads about Trump & USA politics ...

 

[jerrymahoney]

If "some folks" were prevented from starting topics with a link to the NY Post or Fox News 'twould go a long way to the above.

NB I stopped starting posts with the NY Times because the first reply was most always NYTimes? NYTIMES??? what about Hunter's laptop, HUH?

You are reading the wrong section if you want to read about Thailand.

 

Try this one - nothing about Trump here. 100% Thailand.

Yet you come here and post a Trump rant in the Community Pub instead of the Political Soap Box…

Why don’t you pick up a new hobby and implement your suggestion…

I am a paid subscriber. There is always the non-paywall archive version if I'm willing to make the effort which these days I don't.

Maybe it is the way I use it. I generally just look at the topics on the right of the screen.

You should do one of these lists at least once a week.....more entertaining than a lot of threads.

[FlorC]

What should happen is that all non Thai news SHOULD NOT be in the email news updates.

I loose time reading those links to all the left-right BS. I don't want to know, I don't go looking

in the forums for it.

[EVENKEEL]

You forgot the ones about taxes. They are very prolific.

It's a troll account, of course he's going to contradict himself.  He's just saying things that he thinks will annoy people.

 

It's a shame so many here fall for it.

[Highball]

Too many posters not living or even visiting Thailand.

 

Old timers disappearing or being chased away. Immense amounts of institutional knowledge gone.

 

Gobs of stupid, unimportant news both Thai and int'l.
