Public nudity and the photographing it is illegal in th. Thanks for your curiosity An unconnected individual coming across a screen of public nudity and taking a photo of it is not committing any offence.    If that person taking the photo was involved in the organisation of the nude display, that would likely be an offence.

Anti-Zionist Jews?!?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395125-no-anti-zionist-jews/?do=findComment&comment=20519596]]></link><description>Actually, I do know some of the members of U.S.-based anti-Zionist groups and their backgrounds are as I have described them. It's also possible to recognize the ideology of other "anti-Jew Jews" through their public statements.  Many Jews may not want to live in Israel, but they still regard Israel as the homeland and ultimate haven for the world's Jews. A lot of Jews prefer to live in the U.S., Canada, Australia, U.K., etc. because life in those countries is more comfortable on a daily basis and offers more job and economic opportunities.  Many Jews, especially secular Jews, don't speak much Hebrew and don't want to learn more than they already know.  In today's world, it's more convenient to travel on a passport other than Israeli.  And for the most part, life is more secure in Western democracies than in Israel.  None of that, however, changes the fact that Jews who choose not to live in Israel still have a strong affinity with Israel.    Any suggestion that the Jewish Autonomous Region (Oblast) could become an alternative to Israel as the homeland of the world's Jews is absurd piss-taking. It's the reddest of herrings and most stalk-filled of straw men.  As @Jingthing pointed out, the JAR was a proposal by Stalin that failed in the 1930s. Stalin had seen it as a new home for Soviet Jews who had been deprived of their livelihoods by the Communist revolution, but that proved impossible. Ethnic Russians always outnumbered Jews by a wide majority.  Today less than 1,000 Jews live there and the Russian government would never allow any mass-migration by non-Russian Jews. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Yiddish-language https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Autonomous_Oblast</description><pubDate>Sat, 23 May 2026 08:34:55 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Are Single Men In Thailand Much Better Off Financially?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395139-are-single-men-in-thailand-much-better-off-financially/?do=findComment&comment=20519595]]></link><description>I&#x2019;m not convinced. A lot of relationships in Asia involve an age gap that favors the man, and most of them still follow the same trajectory over time. One of the biggest libido killers is moving in together and constantly being around each other. Sharing space means being exposed to all the unglamorous realities of daily life, bad breath in the morning, the odor of bodily functions, menstruation cycles, all of it. Not trying to be crude, just realistic.  In my view, the best way to keep things exciting longer is to maintain some space and see each other no more than a few times a week and avoiding all those inglorious moments, rather than being together nonstop.</description><pubDate>Sat, 23 May 2026 08:34:36 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>No!
