Child Prostitution

[That Asshole]

Things like these have always happened. Will always happen. No one cared much about them.

Until now. Why? Because women have a voice now. No one used to listen to them, dismissing as 'just stupid womantalk' but now people are listening.

Women are now owning businesses, are managers, politicians, own real estate and want more.

No man in his right mind would care much for these issues unless was nudged continuously by a female. Now in the West to get pussy is by the way of licking arses. Khmers still do it the traditional way like men always used to do.

I remember my grandpa belting up granny quite regularly and so did every able man in town. No one cared. Yet she was respectful to him and loved him devotedly. Now they call it abuse. Domestic violence. It wasn't. Just teaching respect.

Khmer cops are after the foreigner not for moral reasons but for the cash. What do you think will happen to the imprisoned's assets?

Missionaries (NGO) are also making a buck. Most of these people are unemployable in the private sector so they do this. For living. For food. They are not volunteer workers. Clinging to their jobs for food to the family, their kids, wives.

Real morality has little to do with it. Many of the most zealous persecutors have done the deed themselves. They feel they get some kind of remission by persecuting others for it. Remember the holy inquisition?

About the girls ages: How old is a viet/khmer girl? It depends how old you want it to be. If you ask for a fourteen year old they bring you a fourteen year old. If you ask for eighteen, they bring the same girl. How would you know? How did they know the girls ages in the report? Most of them have no ID of any sort. Some of them don't even know their own age.

Were they just guessing then? Will guessing stand up in court? They look misleadingly young and they can be made up to look even younger (or older) as you wish.

I did a test. In our town there is a sizeable Vietnamese population. I very politely asked some young women's ages who just looked too young to have the kids they walked. To my surprise they answered 21, 22, 24. Why would they lie here? It's a free country. Yet they could easily be mistaken for 14 year olds.

In fact the very first girl I met in Thailand looked just too young to me. I asked for her ID to make sure she was at least 18. It turned out that she was 28 and had two kids, aged 9 and 11. She had been working in that bar for 6 years.

This issue is little about morals. It's about cash, cash and power. Which just means food, shelted, and jewellery, clothes, cosmetic surgery for some. Guess for who?

Hi guys,
My international mongering has been confined to South America and Europe, but have always been interested in Asia. The following link to a New York Times editorial written by Nicholas Kristof about these Cambodian girls being sold into slavery gives me pause. Is this sort of thing exclusive to Cambodia, or am I going to find it all over Asia? http://www.nytimes.com/2004/01/17/opinion/17KRIS.html

Here's the text of the editorial:
POIPET, Cambodia

One thinks of slavery as an evil confined to musty sepia photographs. But there are 21st-century versions of slaves as well, girls like Srey Neth.

I met Srey Neth, a lovely, giggly wisp of a teenager, here in the wild smuggling town of Poipet in northwestern Cambodia. Girls here are bought and sold, but there is an important difference compared with the 19th century: many of these modern slaves will be dead of AIDS by their 20's.

Some 700,000 people are trafficked around the world each year, many of them just girls. They form part of what I believe will be the paramount moral challenge we will face in this century: to address the brutality that is the lot of so many women in the developing world. Yet it's an issue that gets little attention and that most American women's groups have done shamefully little to address.

Poipet, 220 miles on bouncy roads from Phnom Penh, is a dusty collection of dirt alleys lined with brothels, where teenage girls clutch at any man walking by. It has a reputation as one of the wildest places in Cambodia, an anything-goes town ruled by drugs, gangs, gambling and prostitution.

The only way to have access to the girls is to appear to be a customer. So I put out the word that I wanted to meet young girls and stayed at the seedy $8-a-night Phnom Pich Guest House — and a woman who is a pimp soon brought Srey Neth to my room.

Srey Neth claimed to be 18 but looked several years younger. She insisted at first (through my Khmer interpreter) that she was free and not controlled by the guesthouse. But soon she told her real story: a female cousin had arranged her sale and taken her to the guesthouse. Now she was sharing a room with three other prostitutes, and they were all pimped to guests.

"I can walk around in Poipet, but only with a close relative of the owner," she said. "They keep me under close watch.They do not let me go out alone. They're afraid I would run away."

Why not try to escape at night?

"They would get me back, and something bad would happen. Maybe a beating. I heard that when a group of girls tried to escape, they locked them in the rooms and beat them up."

"What about the police?" I asked. "Couldn't you call out to the police for help?"

"The police wouldn't help me because they get bribes from the brothel owners," Srey Neth said, adding that senior police officials had come to the guesthouse for sex with her.

I asked Srey Neth how much it would cost to buy her freedom. She named an amount equivalent to $150.

"Do you really want to leave?" I asked. "Are you sure you wouldn't come back to this?"

She had been watching TV and listlessly answering my questions. Now she turned abruptly and snorted. "This is a hell," she said sharply, speaking with passion for the first time. "You think I want to do this?"

Another girl, Srey Mom, grabbed at me as I walked down the street. She wouldn't let go, tugging me toward the inner depths of her brothel — but she looked so young and pitiable that I couldn't help thinking that she really wanted me to tug her away.

So I did. I paid the owner $8 to spring her for the evening and then took her away for an interview.

The owner let Srey Mom go out unsupervised, it turned out, partly because she had been a prostitute for several years and was trusted to return — and partly because her dark complexion meant that she was of little value anyway. The brothel sold her to men for just $2.50, compared with the $10 commanded by the lighter-skinned Srey Neth.

I asked Srey Mom what her freedom would cost. Payment of about $70 in debts to her brothel owner, she said. Two girls in her brothel had been freed after they found boyfriends who paid their debts, she said, and she spoke of her longing to see her sisters and the rest of her family in her village on the other side of Cambodia.

"Do you really want to leave the brothel?" I asked.

"I love myself," she answered simply. "I do not want to let my life be destroyed by what I'm doing now."

That's when I made a firm decision I'd been toying with for some time: I would try to buy freedom for these two girls and return them to their families. I'll tell you in my column on Wednesday what happens next.

Robux,

Don't you realize that this sort of 'bust' in such a country is always a set-up? Any reasonable monger should give his brother-in-hobby the benefit of the doubt in a case like this, not the corrupt State. Besides, the story indicated the girls weren't even very young.

Keep in mind also that the local Kmer men are committing 'debauchery' with girls much younger than 15 and no one cares a bit about that. This sort of thing is just an attempt to ruin sex tourism for the typical white 'imperialist'. Every oppressive political group in the world, from Christian and Muslim fanatics to left wing feminists are out to get us. Face it man, we Euro/American mongers (aka white males) are the single most hated minority on the earth.
