Flawed Argument Continued
all was quiet on the board and then the cat is thrown amonst the pigeons.
in order for the conclusions to be valid the facts need to be taken to a lower level. by this i mean that you need to distinguish between 'tourist brothels' and 'locals brothels'. it is a generally accepted fact that the locals brothels contain a far higher proportion of indentured and **** girls; as we, on this board, would not even be able to find most of these the chances of encountering **** girls is greatly diminished.
when we do choose girls we use our discretion as to who we select and so even if there are **** girls working in tourist brothel, most of us would leave them alone.
there is always a chance that one of us has taken an **** girl as it is accepted that asian ladies always look younger than western equivalents and ids can be faked very easily.
when the above is taken into account does it make you a paedophile for taking a girl who 'tricks' you into believing that she is older than she really is? by not visiting locals brothel and always asking for a girls age, when there is any doubt, surely we are being reasonable in our actions.
i, for one, know that i have refused taking girls for a year as i have doubts about her age (one, in particular, will be looked at again when i visit in may). i also know of girls who have been around for a few years who are still claiming to be 18. the ids are not legible by the majority and, you can be sure, that a girl's friends will support her claims of whatever age she wants to be that day.
bottom line is that we must all be careful and take whatever steps we can to stay within the law. if we do this then we can refute the sort of allegations that started this discussion and take our holidays without having to lie about our destination!
