Don't look for enemies where there are none.

Do not defend Western sex tourists.

Not defending prostitution. Disagreeing with you is NOT defending prostitution.

No one has. Pointing out the real facts is not the same as defending the Western sex tourists. They are scum as far as I am concerned. But exaggerating their numbers is just useless.

Writing that sex tourists are engaging in a "perfectly legal activity" is defending prostitution.

Your fight is with President Bush, his wife Laura, his Cabinet, and me.

Pretty cheap. In America women prostitute themselves in marriage then some man pays

the cost of a house and half the his savings so she can go away and start over. (/womens lib impression)

Not at all. It was said in response to your boneheaded declaration that death was the proper response for those banging hookers.

Your critical skills are deficient.

The others have not exaggerated the numbers and tried to make it appear as though this "business" exists only because of the Westerners. That is FALSE. It has existed for hundreds, if not thousands, of years before the Westerner even set foot in these countries.

This is a problem caused by the social systems of these countries not by Westerners. Those participating in it certainly are not helping but unless you understand the dynamics of it you cannot understand or counter it.

But you seem determined NOT to understand it.

It does not matter what it was in response to.

It revealed his, and apparently your, view that while it may be sin to some, this prostitution is a completely legal activity. The President knows it is slavery and is going to fight to stop both it and the slavers.

Your spiritual skills are deficient.

BTW, what "beautiful women" do you profess to love ?

Do you know how to click on a link and read ?

We believe that the largest category of slavery is sex slavery. This is not to minimize other large categories: domestic servitude slavery, forced labor in farms and factories slavery, child soldier slavery. The large number of children is why President Bush, at his United Nations General Assembly speech last fall, emphasized cooperation in the fight against child sex tourism, which creates a demand for child sex slaves.

Nice story. Kind of reminds me of the movie "Pay It Forward".

Those scumbags are typical leftists... Recognizing a problem, and then sitting around, talking amongst themselves about what a terrible thing it is... But condemning those trying to do something about it!

Makes you wonder what they think of Oscar Schindler and his beautiful, successful efforts to free many of the condemned.

The biggest brothel customers in Cambodia are Cambodians; in Thailand, Thais; in Macau, Chinese; and in Vietnam, Vietnamese.

I daresay that the married men who frequent these places expect their wives to remain faithful.

So, I take it that you don't see Asian sex slavery as an issue at all, and these sex tours that are advertised on the internet are just make believe.

You are apparently the World's Champion at Jumping to Unwarranted Conclusions.

Commenting on the legality of something in another country to your twisted mentality is APPROVING of it? What a joke.

I am a bigger supporter of the President than you I would wager.

What is a spiritual "skill"? LoL.

What is your concern about my love life? Looking for tips?

Talk about dense! How did you ever come to the conclusion I am unaware of the sexual exploitation of children? What deluded meandering of your mind led to that absurdity?

Do you just post stuff at random and hope it is applicable to the discussion? Throw darts at a board and post whatever article it hits?

Well sorry try again since your links have no bearing on anything I have been discussing.

What does having been there have to do with anything?

Are you completely unaware of the FACT that sexual slavery and exploitation have been a major custom in Asia FOR MILLENIA? Long before the Roung Eyes arrived. Has this escaped your attention? Is your historical knowledge THAT deficient?
