Yeah, it's personal. I've done more than Kristof to solve the problem.

What have you done ?

My beef with you is that you've twice regurgitated that MSM line that the problem is caused by Westerners, to wit, white males. That's wrong. You've also grossly and with no evidence or backup whatsoever stated that "three in four" tourists are in Asia for the sex trade. That is simply a flat out lie.

You are not a very well educated reader. Your reading comprehension is inferior.

You expose yourself as a naive propagandist by making such egregiously false assertions.

I think you are uncomfortable because you are a western male and are trying to defend your presence there.

In truth the sex trade is a local trade primarily run by and for locals.

How would you know that ? You must have evidence.

Now, why are you on this thread? You've contributed not a whit of truth or wisdom to this point.

Because I hate prostitution and those who promote it, defend it, and profit from it

It's a well known fact that sex-tourism in SE Asia is a huge business. The governments turn a blind eye in return for kickbacks. In Phucket alone, there were thousands of European (a lot were from Denmark IIRC) MEN who were killed (the ratio of European MEN to women was completely out of sync with normal tourism). To defend this slavery on any level whatsoever is indefensible.

You're a real twit. I worked for an NGO and had many friends who dealt personally (professionally) with the sex trade problem. I contributed money to the cause. There were some other involvements that (I have reason to believe) put some of these creeps into jail, or at least deported.

Now, you come to the table with some gross generalizations which I know from actually being there to be absolutely false. You won't admit it, but they are false.

And instead of questioning (let alone researching) your own mistaken assumptions, you just keep walking down the road of ignorance.

I'm flaming because it is knuckleheads like you who irk me. You just keep the (un)subtle insults flying while having not the faintest idea what you're talking about. You'd be a charicature of pompous naivete if you weren't so annoying.
