Thailand's Sex Trade Flourishes POSTED: 5:50 am EDT August 17, 2006

BANGKOK -- It's a photo that has become a staple in the tabloids of Southeast Asia: the foreigner taken in by police after being caught in bed with a local boy or girl.

For many of the region's countries which derive huge sums of money from the tourism trade, it's a vivid illustration of its seamiest side -- child sexual exploitation.

Hey, maybe the "refreshing" "libertarianism" of the child sex-trade in Thailand has changed in the last two days.

No no no--the thread's vanity states that Thailand is no different than any other country in its dislike of pedophilia. Therefore, when we walk out our doors and drive down the streets we should be able to imagine our towns, cities, states, and regions of the US as moral parallel to the streets and canals of Bangkok.
