They seem to be a decent sized demographic group to me both in terms of number and economic benefit.  And yet we seldom see them mentioned by TAT as a target market. In many of the southern states in USA snow birds are coveted and Cuba virtually built its Varadayo resort region off the back of them.  The visa requirements would need to be drawn up such that criminal elements are kept out, perhaps by having a background check as one of the requirements, but surely sufficient safeguards could be built in.</description><pubDate>Thu, 21 May 2026 01:43:38 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Word Association - 2026</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1383425-word-association-2026/?do=findComment&comment=20515988]]></link><description>Hole</description><pubDate>Thu, 21 May 2026 01:43:31 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Brit&#x2019;s Sex Toy Delays Bag on Thai Flight</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394995-brits-sex-toy-delays-bag-on-thai-flight/?do=findComment&comment=20515987]]></link><description>The risk with something like this is that the moral fiber of the nation could be corrupted.

Judges are everywhere in our culture and are assumed have neutrality as their goal. Webster says:  The word "judge" carries a divided set of connotations, spanning from highly analytical and positive to deeply condemning and negative. While it fundamentally means to evaluate, discern, or form an opinion, its secondary meaning often leans into moral criticism, superiority, and punishment.  I guess.. I should have realized that the AN context by itself sadly assumes negativity.</description><pubDate>Thu, 21 May 2026 01:40:42 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Israel Public Relations takes a Huge Hit</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395003-israel-public-relations-takes-a-huge-hit/?do=findComment&comment=20515978]]></link><description>Get ready for a lot more screeching about antisemitism.
