		<description>Suz,

Nobody deserves anything.  Every mass murderer is someone&#039;s child and sibling.  Does that mean they deserve respect?  Hitler had a mother so does that means he deserves respect?  

I&#039;m not attempting to compare anyone with Hitler.  I just want to point out how retarded your statement is.  

Respect is something you earn.  

And you seem to be all uptight about the term &quot;girls&quot; yet I&#039;m pretty sure that you&#039;re unaware that that is how younger (under 30) Thai women refer to themselves.  In fact, I don&#039;t think I&#039;ve ever heard them refer to themselves as anything other than Thai Girl or Thai Lady.  And Lady is usually reserved for married women or someone older.

I don&#039;t defend the comment you are responding to.   Personally, I think the commenter is an immature idiot.  But that is no excuse to respond in even a more ignorant manner.  At least he was trying to be funny.

		<description>Shame on the last poster on November 11th. You mention &quot;Girls&quot; and your e-mail address is disgusting, demoralizing and I hope happens to you! 
I also hope that the FBI hunts you down and finds you and that you meet with a punishment fitting someone who wants to keep women and girls in a demoralizing slavery situation. Wake up THEY DON&#039;T LIKE YOU!!! 
Obviously you don&#039;t have a partner that does like you. 
Those Thai &quot;girls&quot; are someone&#039;s sister, daughter and will be mothers. They deserve to be respected and treated as if they are of value. 
I will pray for you. You should seek therapy and God. 
You actually could use your life and energy to help this very sad situation.</description>

		<description>Hey, lay off the prostitution tag. 

I been trying to sell sausage to Thai girls for some time now, and I put down the lack of uptake to articles like this. 

Give a guy a break!</description>

		<description>Suz, a good database for Thai movies:
http://www.thaiworldview.com/tv/cinema.htm
Under &#039;social movies&#039; you can find those related to prostitution.
Quite a few are old movies, but I hope this helps.</description>

		<description>I have a question if anyone call help me to find the name of the movie that was made about young asian girls forced into prostitution. I believe that it was a hollywood movie from a couple of years ago. It showed a young country girl being sold by her family into prostitution. It may have been about Thailand or Cambodia? 
It was very well done and very sad. 
I need to find the movie for a school report. 
Thank You</description>

guess the standard of living in Thailand is far better than some other South East Asian Countries, if you can speak on poverty here, you can also imagine how is it like in the rest and yes, they are worse .  

I agree, it&#039;s not easy not to be able to buy some needs and getting the responsiblity of supporting the family but I think the bottomline there is again CHOICE. There is also a saying of LIVING to WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD. If one doesn&#039;t have the ecnomic ability for some things, one has to better let it go and focus on the little things that are within ones budget. 

I have to add, everybody sacrifices to get  better and a decent life. It is also known, that others do sacrifice as well to get some quick and more cash. It&#039;s the methods/way how  can a man uplift his income status incorporating what&#039;s  right and wrong in attaining the aims. And the ISSUE gets there.

I have to add and I&#039;m not judging but guess the issue of morality has been taken advantage. It doesn&#039;t mean that because one is very poor then that morality must be taken away, AS for those who have much money. It doesn&#039;t also give one any  excuses  of  deeds  in opposed to propriety because one is poor. If one wants to get away clean with a thing one knows isn&#039;t good, it&#039;s very easy to pass the blame on poverty. Really. In some other cases some say because of &quot;loneliness&quot; and even &quot;love&quot;. :)   Nonetheless, regardless of the reasons and excuses, it never changes the nature of the action. 

Going back to the subject, we have known this for years. That&#039;s why the oldest profession still exist.

On the other hand, the one you shared on the bad experiences among the girls is expected, I guess. May be not true to some but talking about those places they are working, could be a one in a million chance finding a DECENT man to be in there, so what can we expect?or What should we expect?

Although life is oftentimes unfair, life indeed is an echo and it will find its way to give you what you truly deserve.</description>

		<description>Poverty and no education are the 2 major issues. No young girls would dream to become prostitutes when they grow up. I don&#039;t believe so. Even though cost of living in Thailand is very cheap but it&#039;s not easy to make good living. College students who graduated from so so colleges make only 8,000 baht/month. Government have been trying to help these girls to get out from prostitution by providing them jobs(e.g making artificial flowers) 80 baht/day. They couldn&#039;t live of that money so they went back to Pattaya again. Yes, it&#039;s true when you people said &quot;Life is about choices&quot; but how many of these young girls would have that wisdom to see those better choices when back home-there are parents, siblings who really count on her. I&#039;m a 100% Thai woman from Isaan who grew up in a nice home and had an opportunity to go to a private university in BKK.
I feel for these girls and truly understand why they do what they do.

Better school and better education for these girls would guide them to something better than being in Pattaya waiting for some farangs to sweep them off their feet. We don&#039;t even know what kind of farangs they are. Very sad. I have seen and I have heard many bad stories. Surviving seems to play an important roles than morality over here.
