[Artha]

[Makkah]

<<How much viagra did you go through over there?>>

I refuse to give tourist dollars to a country that supports trafficking of little girls for perverted American tourists.

Over half of Thai prostitutes contract AIDS within six months of beginning work.

The are almost ALL forced into their jobs. It's not a Lisu-style choice. Last year, one of the Thai brothels burned down. All the prostitues inside died, because they were chained to their beds to prevent escape. The youngest was just eight years old.

I want the women here to imagine themselves at eight, being forced to have sex with as many as 25 men in a night, beaten for crying or eating when you aren't supposed to. I want the men to imagine this happening to their wives, daughters, sisters, or mothers.

Then you'll see why it's not somethign to make flippant comments about on a message board.

they are thai, what do you honest expect from them? just drink some more booze, it'll be all good after a little while.

[SpunGirl]

Expect what you want, you shouldn't support it.

[imported_Kranar]

The reason so many young prostitutes there contract AIDs is because of a very strong myth there that having sex with a young virgin will rid you of all diseases and give you good luck.

Many tourists go there simply for that, but I certainly wouldn't condemn any tourist simply for visiting Thailand.

Anyhow, what was your experience of the place Longshot? Putting aside the fact that yes, some pretty bad things happen there, I'm sure there must have been some aspects about your visit that you enjoyed.

Share them with us.

"Many tourists go there simply for that, but I certainly wouldn't condemn any tourist simply for visiting Thailand."

The point, Kranar, was that I believe it's wrong to give support in the form of tourist dollars to a country who looks the other way while thousands of people's lives are violated.

It's also wrong to make idiotic "suckee" jokes about it.

-K

[Artha]

I think the suckee suckee joke was in reference to Full Metal Jacket, the king of Vietnam movies.

[i remember halloween]

well i just keep drinking and that makes everything OK

<< The point, Kranar, was that I believe it's wrong to give support in the form of tourist dollars to a country who looks the other way while thousands of people's lives are violated. >>

These countries don't look the other way, they just don't have the money to fund the appropriate law enforcement to stop this. They don't even have the money to feed themselves for the most part.

Also, giving money as a tourist isn't support. It's paying for a service provided to you. I don't support terrorists or drug cartels when I buy gas, do you? Did you support Indonesia or China when you went out and bought your sports shoes or your clothing or heck, even your computer?

There's a much bigger picture here.

[imported_Kranar]

Also can a limit please be placed on the size of a picture linked to?

Actually it was probably in reference to the South Park episode where Cartman believes he is a veitnamese prostitute and tells everyone "Sucky sucky, five dolla!".

[edge]

Women are forced into prostitution here in the USA. So I don't understand your side of the arguement.

I have always wanted to go on one of those Vietnam tours showing us what so many died for years ago. Doesn't mean I condone child porn either or want to pay a whore for sex.

[CrystalTears]

The reference IS from Full Metal Jacket. Cartman in South Park is just making fun of that hooker, since most of South Park's humor is about making fun of lots of things.

[Drew2]

The hooker in Full Metal Jacket at no point says "Sucky sucky, five dolla".

[Artha]

She does so.

[imported_Kranar]

As usual, all these questions can be answered by going to the source.

The prostitute in Full Metal Jacket does infact make this reference and it can be found on the official Full Metal Jacket script:

http://www.krug.org/scripts/fullmetal.html

Not that it's really all that relevant.

[Drew2]

The girl stops at
JOKER's table.

HOOKER
Hey, baby, you got girlfriend
Vietnam?

JOKER
Not just this minute.


HOOKER
Well, baby, me so horny. Me so horny. Me
love you long
time. You party?

JOKER
Yeah, we might party. How much?


HOOKER
Fifteen dolla.

JOKER
Fifteen dollars for
both of us?

HOOKER
No. Each you fifteen dolla. Me love
you long
time. Me so horny.

JOKER
Fifteen dollar
too boo-coo. Five dollars each.

HOOKER
Me
suckee-suckee. Me love you too much.

JOKER
Five dollars
is all my mom allows me to
spend.

HOOKER
Okay! Ten
dolla each.

JOKER
What do we get for ten dollars?


HOOKER
Everything you want.

JOKER
Everything?


HOOKER
Everything.

JOKER
Well, old buddy, feel
like spending some of
your hard-earned money?



Show me where, Artha.

[imported_Kranar]

Okay... so she will suckee suckee for 10 dolla instead of suckee suckee for 5 dolla.

Big whoop. Come on, let's not make a big deal out of this... please? I'm still waiting to know how Longshot's trip was.

Careful Kranar, he might warn interaction with you because you're not letting him be right. :rolleyes:

[Drew2]

Undoubtedly.

warn harassment tayre

Hey you stole my joke! Anyway, as someone who loves to travel, I'd love to go to Thailand to see its historical monuments. I can get great sex here in the states without paying or contracting AIDS.

[Halfsilver]

Leave it to Player's Corner to take a thread from vacation stories to 5 dollar Vietnamese whores.

Full Metal Jacket was a pretty cool movie, though.


<<Any good stories? >>
See? Longshot said good stories. :P

Ahh, but can you get it from a first-grader you bought off the black market for $30? I think not.

Barely Legal in America - 18.

Barely Legal in Thailand - 5.

The sad part is, even at that age, they're probably more experienced than most American women. :o

No, you sick fuck. They aren't. And anyone who does that needs to die a violent and brutal death.

Wow... I wasn't aware that flippant remarks do not belong in an off topic folder on an anonymous message board.

Thanks for the heads up.

And by the way, why of course some prostitution is forced labor, Thailand has a higher percentage of women employed than the United States. This image that these girls have nowhere to go is largely a myth. It is true in some circumstances, but these cases would be found everywhere.

Many women choose to do it because the money is tremendous compared to what they might otherwise earn. Hanging around with (relatively) rich people who buy you expensive things is a turn on for some people.

I would like to see the statistics on the AIDS thing. That is just way off base. Did you get that as part of the KFC is not Chicken chain letter?

Also, the sex industry in Thailand caters mainly to Thai males. In highly tourist concentrated areas, there is a saturation of of sex workers, yes. Much of the demand however, remains driven by Thai population.

There are several articles on this, if you choose to find them. You could just pick up a Lonely Planet guide. Much easier to read.

So, here is where my argument goes bad, and turns ad hominem...

But, I will stop in an amazing display of self-restraint.

It was a good rant, about how you can't apply your Christian ideals to other parts of the world.

I was going to make rude assumptions that the Tequiza you're drinking in the picture is about as international as you get. But again, I don't know you, so I won't say that.

My apologies to Kranar.

I no longer feel like storytelling.

[Warriorbird]

When you ride alone you ride with Bin Laden.

When you buy Nikes you help support child prostitution.

When you drink Tequiza you drink some of the worst alcoholic crap ever invented and shame beer drinkers and tequila drinkers everywhere.

;)

Nuff said.

[edge]

Subic Bay was funner then Thailand.....

[longshot]

Where is Subic Bay? I've never heard of that.

I'm also waiting for an intelligent response from Spun Girl.

Or something intelligent from her at all.

If that is possible...

[edge]

It's on a island. Was a military base there. Their main economy was prositution. You left the base and it was a mile of bars with whores. Hell, they had to have a VD card saying they was clean or they could not work in the bars..... All the hints I am giving! Last one. You go there if you are on a Westpac.

[edge]

I didn't go in the military. But I almost married one in the US.

[Ben]

You almost married a hooker or a guy in the military?
