I don't believe you are as dim-witted as one might think by reading your reply.
You know very well I meant that it is unlikely, yet possible that the Thai government published stats that HIV/AIDS is 80% or whatever amongst 'prostitutes' when they resist acknowledging that there is prostitution here.
Your ranting on about Thai culture, morality, etc., is of no interest to me. Perhaps it is to others, but I just glanced at it so will not comment futher.
Ah, if I had seemed so dimwitted you would not have bothered to answer. I pushed a button on that chip on your shoulder DARING to criticize your precious homeland (adopted or whatever).
Having a TRANSVESTITE "beauty" pageant is well worth the rant and the criticism. It's a sick event. I didn't comment on their culture; that was you adding in your own words. But, for their morality? It IS a sliding backwards in morality, to me. This country does the same thing, validate sick behavior.
I don't have to LIVE IN Thailand to see what it does. Once I learned to read, I read to learn. It's sick transvestite beauty pageant that is on the internet on free republic. How public is that? No need to live in South Africa to know the ravages of AIDS/HIV there.
Besides, I was telling killjoy about his failed logic, and you butted it with your own skewed thinking. I don't have a crystal ball and don't know what you mean unless you write clearly, without denial or the "you know what I mean" nonsense. "Glance" at this thread no more, you can't deal with it. Go watch a travelogue, or something, all sweetness and light. Ignore the millions of AIDS/HIV victims in Thailand -- resulting from prostitution. Hey, it's a free country.
That is what this site is all about -- stuff, good, bad and ugly, is put up. What do you expect? You expect all of us to pretend that this SICK thing doesn't exist? That Thailand's society ISN'T taking a step backward, morally with this?
If so, you had should simply close your eyes and stop reading. Denial is your best bet. Thailand's tolerance has cost it a great deal of money and heartache with its sex industry.
Reason enough for worry about Thailand: it has boobs like you and killjoy (perfect name) living there. Ooops, sorry, that just popped out. .
