do they accept volunteers to go to China and do this research? 

Just remember to keep that scuba suit on Deepwater.

some of the place we choose to drink overseas are little more than whorehouses. that being said, we also stick together and behave. (of course there are some dirt bags that chase ANYTHING) you know, buy the girls a couple drinks and harass them with our twisted humour  but still, though tempting as some of these girls are the consequences (marital or health) aren't worth it.and yes most of these girls are there because they have little choice.

You know, a program that studies how to reduce HIV transmission among "sex workers" here in the US, I might get behind. Even if it were in some flyspeck country in Africa that couldn't afford it....maybe....as part of a good will hearts and minds thing. But China? CHINA?? If they can afford nuclear subs, they can take care of their own hookers (I mean sex workers) whores. Is it just me, or is the fact that most girls forced by circumstance into prostitution, are not happy campers who will drink to ease the pain, seems fairly freaking obvious? This kind of crap makes me want to ask the government to teach ME to drink responsibly, because its only 1:30 and I feel the desperate need for a tall cool one (hold the Chinese hooker).

Actually, you really didn't Pathfinder. The sad thing is that in a lot of third world countries a daughter is just another mouth to feed. They are sold to brothels to support the family. Hell, Thailand (though they've gotten better) and Cambodia sell junkets for peadophiles to come sleep with (read rape) 12 and 13 year olds. Calling them whores offends me. They didn't choose this crap. Hell, even here in the good old USA, I defy you to ask any middle school student if she wants to be a prostitute. I'll pay a Glock a head for positive answers. Yet the term whore lingers, as though the woman is to blame for men valueing her just for pussy. Why didn't she wear a bhurka (my real beef with Islam)? Its the johns that should be stuck with the disgusting name. Men who pay to use women's or grls bodies are purely scum, and it just points to the sexism in society that there isn't a word for them. Femininist, Christian, Libertarian, former aid worker rant over.

One Question.  Will this reduce our debt to China by $2.6 million?

[1911 Junkie]

Only other "whores" can use the term "whores" or else it's offensive.

That's the correct logic isn't it?

How about "vaginally lucritive buisness women"?

nope. nor will it go to the girls. some idiot that thought up this program is going to waste all that cash and nobody will benefit from it.

If they were business women, I'd agree with your point . Its not about being stupidly PC, my friend, its about understanding that prostitution is not a contract between equals. If it was,I would have no more qualms with it than I do with someone buying or selling pot. The problem, as I mentioned in my post, is that we are talking about forced labor. Th fact that the woman gets blamed for a crime caused by male desire, particularly when she has no choice, is like that young Somali girl (13) who was stoned to death for adultery for reporting to the muslim authorities she was raped, or the Saudi woman who was sentenced to two hundred lashes for being gang raped because she was in a car with a guy she wasn't related to. If you can't get that point, I can't help you. I know you're pissed because I called you a racist once for a comment you made comparing Michelle Obama to a chimp (which was out of line), and for the record I publicly apologize because sticking you with that label was out of line as well. I still stand by my point though.

We're all aware of how screwed up many of the world's cultures are - one of the big reasons people try to flee there and get in here - but honestly, should we weep for 10,000 years of prostitution in all of its ugly forms? It is a part of human history. Should it be? I ain't going there, pointless discussion.

Yours is a classic mindset that sees things through filters - as we all do - but dysfunctionally so. It reminds me of the Marxist Anthropologist I heard back in the very early 70's. Every cultural artifact was analyzed through the communist filter - everything. Absolute nonsense and even as a grad student it was obvious even to me just how nonsensical it was. Your so-called feminist sensibilities are blinding you to the realities of the world, the lifestyles they live. Yes, the Chinese kill thousands of baby girls ever year. Yes, the mooslim world treats its women disgustingly badly. Yes it is abhorrent. And yes I think the death penalty is only a start for people who molest a child - for any reason. I am aware of my filters, and if it is important, I can view events and minimize (not eliminate) the effects of the filters.

But, the points of all this are:
- the world is screwed up - always has been, always will be

- people are screwed up - ditto; and it's only slightly your parent's fault

- deal with those facts best you can - all you can do is to try hard not to be what you despise, although as Mel Brooks once said in his 2000 year old man routine - we mock the things we are to be

- try not to force others to drink your particular brand of tainted kool-aid

- bho and Congress are screwing up this country, turning us into a 3rd world country with many of the 3rd world's problems coming within 10-15 years tops

- America is standing by and watching it happen

- even at my advancing age, I would hope to be a 3%-er somehow

- I hope, but mostly pray, that I will never have to be a 3%-er
