Comments on: Sex Trade Thrives In Afghanistan

Chinese Prostitutes Trafficked To Afghanistan To Cater To Foreigners

[toldyouso12]

In short---prostitution may not be your kink--but you govern only your own body--"choice" dictates you leave everyone else to govern their own--without trying to control that choice for them--because guess what? You can''t control that anyway--no matter what laws are passed or how you march, or speak out--it''s personal--sort of like their genitalia.

YOUR perspective is not the only one--and all prostitution is not sexual slavery or involuntary--it''''''''s all a matter of perspective--not yours--but the one plying the trade.

Why thank you for the discourse--I''ll take that as a compliment even though I am a woman--I''m just a woman who does not believe my position is life is to control others on moral issues or to force or see the world through only my perspective. If that makes me a "P R I C K" I only hope it helps to "prickkkk" your conscience and help you get off your high horse. I know women who are prostitutes who are very lovely people--they like their life, their lifestyles and have provided very well for themselves. Their perspective is just as valid as yours--but thankfully for them--they don''t push their own version of mores off on everyone else.

You sound like one very angry, fembot---LOL

I am also a woman with two very beautiful daughters, and 3 gorgeous sons. I taught my daughters to respect their bodies and that their "gift" of themselves physically should only be considered after they felt emotionally and mentally capable of dealing with the aftermath --having said that--I also can say I am pro choice and so are my daughters. I don''t mince words so I tell my children the gravity of pregnancy, STDs, etc and that to me--a child is a child and killing one is murder--having said that--I still leave the option to live with it up to them. In addition, I also teach options in everything. Surprisingly, though I believe prostitution is a viable option for some women, my children are very moral but not judgmental, they appear to believe that stripping or selling sexx is not something they want to do--and something that can be horribly exploited--but also something that has gone on for eons and is an option for some people. For us, pro choice also means we give knowledge and information, but in the end--we respect the right for each person, male or female to have the right to choose how they use their own body and what they do with it. Choice--if God does not exercise the power to take it away for our soul''s sake--we humans should not try to take it away for our own sake. nxt post

Guadalcanal,

Thank you!

When I was in the Army, I was on a bus with two GIs in front of me discussing their difficulty in finding a way to relieve themselves s e x u a l l y. One young man said to the other, he had heard it fel no different to stick it into a pound of hamburger. So, that is such a good idea, stick it into a pound of hamburger.

May we ask what your position on abortion is?
Posted by toldyouso12

Abortion under Roe vs. Wade as a fail-safe, back up system of birth control has been a modern day holocaust wherein millions of innocent potential human beings have been slaughtered because the women were too lazy, narcissistic, or selfish to get themselves on the pill or insist on the use of condoms. I do believe in abortion in the case of rape, incest, and for the health of the mother. I am not a male. I am a woman and I am not perfect. I''ve had two children, both daughters. My husband of eight years left me one month after our first born, and my second was born outside of marriage when her father left me three months before she was born. And let me tell you, it never happened again. I raised by girls by myself. I got $90 a month child support from my ex, and nothing from the other so called father. My girls are beautiful, well married, happy, well adjusted,and successful in their families and jobs. I would have never thought of destroying either one of them or selling them to a pimp.

Hey wait a minute!...We were only trying to free them of their burkas...and make it possible for them go to school...not start brothels!

Pro choice is not just "allowing" the woman the right to decide what to do with her own body and what issues from it, it is also recognizing her right to do with her own body as SHE pleases. This extends to using her body in the way that she pleases. Exploitation cuts both ways--while many women are forced into prostitution, other women freely choose it, recognizing that their body and physical attributes are a marketable commodity with a limited shelf life--no different than the hands of a sculptor, or the brain of a theoretician, or the legs of a dancer or athelete. It may not be acceptable to you or moral--but some hone skills between their legs like others hone other talent--and for those who hone those skills--there can be no greater validation than receiving monetary reward for their prowess.

There is a saying--"Most women against prostitution are lousy lays" The idea behind the saying is that women denounce what they will give away freely because if they had to depend on their ***** and skill in bed for a living--they''d probably starve.


I did not say that to castigate you--but to show you that YOUR perspective is not the only one--and all prostitution is not sexual slavery or involuntary--it''s all a matter of perspective--not yours--but the one plying the trade.

There are counties in Nevada where prostitution is legal.

I suppose that the fact that the world is more than happy, willing, and standing in line to exploit women makes it all right.

We have to be very careful in our ideas of stewardship and championing causes. May we ask what your position on abortion is?

I''d rather give a toy than candy. I''ve lived in Taiwan and been to countries like Peru, the Islands, Mexico and to the slums in Europe. Poverty is everywhere--so is hope. If we are caught--we don''t tell who we are--we just ask that they pass those kind of ''random acts of kindness'' along. If asked Why we do it--it''s simple--because we can--besides, we love the way it shocks and puzzles people.

The idea of giving is not new or novel--but, perhaps to you--perhaps giving responsibly is--think about more than that moment of delight from eating candy-- or anything else that is fleeting--giving is wonderful--but it should also not have the potential to do harm. The greatest gift you can every give anyone is hope--not just that "you are respected and all the adults like you" or you are "admired and everyone thinks you are wonderful" hopefully that is NOT why you give--the gift in giving or helping is not validation of yourself--it validates humanity--not just yours--but anyone you help--it says that we are all connected--so when you give--perhaps the giving should be more than junk food or bits of fluff--give a book, a puppet, crayons..paper--a toy--something to fire the imagination, give toilet paper or a new light for the home or a radio--and don''t look for the admiration or hugs or even respect--give because there is no other way of being. When you don''t have the money--share a story--one that shows there are still miracles and with a little effort we can all be miracle workers.

LOL. Glad you asked. For over 28 years I have worked with abused women and children. My family adopt a needy family almost every year and play "guerilla charity" We choose a family that is in need and spend several months sneaking items to them or outstanding bills that they have. We scope out people and choose our "victims" carefully. We help single parents, the old, any race, creed or nationality--the only criteria is that they are in true need. The guerilla giving begins by overhearing or finding out their needs physically. We leave canned goods on doorsteps, deposit money in bank accounts, leave packages containing socks, undies and other staples--after a few "gifts" We begin to leave notes..they say stuff like "christmas can come at anytime" or "there really is magic in the world"
or "hope this helps" We stop strangers who we overhear with problems and pay for their purchases in the store, we help repair people''s homes, etc. WE do what we can--what we don''t do is push our version of God on them or help contribute to bad habits (like eating candy or bubble gum) nxt pst

Their parents sold them to the pimps.

Posted by minnick8

And, I meant to add, the reason the pimps bought them is because there is a market for their flesh.

[petro49l]

The United States is the only country in the world that does not recognize prostitution. Women everywhere engage in the trade for a living. Celibacy is not a federal law. Even homosexuals like George W. Bush should admit that prostitution promotes procreation, culture, and societal mores.

Posted by newster1

Member of a hate mongoring church against white people with a so called religious pastor braying on and on about hatred and posturing about political candidates.

Actual committed spiritual leaders should stick to religion. If they don''t stick to religion, how can they call themselves, and how can their followers actually believe or think they have had a spiritually uplifing experience?

If I went into a church with a preacher extolling hatred and racism, I would get up and walk out and I wouldn''t drop any money at the door.

We did not bring these ladies (ladies?) to Afghanastan, they came to try to earn a living.

Posted by patriot12436

The "ladies," are probably children. I betcha they didn''t come on their own; they have pimps. Their parents sold them to the pimps.

Who is this muslim running for president that you mention? last time I checked there''s only two candidates- in the USA that is, McCain AKA "McSame" a right-wing old kook who will continue the failed bush cartel''s policies as bush''s third term. I don''t know if he is a muslim or not, maybe he is, I haven''t heard!

Then there''s Obama, born in Hawaii USA, member of one Christian church for over 20 years, well educated, well spoken, articulate and having many ideas.

You apparently have never been a parent. tWhat are you doing ? Posted by patriot12436 at 08:24 AM : Jun 15, 2008


LOL. I''ve been a parent for almost 30 years. I have 5 children. 4 who are adults and one who is not yet a teen. My kids all had a GPA in school of 3.2 or higher with my eldest (who is 26) getting a dual degrees in Engineering and social work. My children are law abiding, very polite (in public), have trained palates (except for the baby), all work full time (except for the baby) all, except the baby and another are attending or have grad from college. My children did not run in stores or restaurants, touch things in stores that do not belong to them, kick chairs on air planes and in movie theaters and we all do charity work. In addition, my kids are cognizant of their health, do not drink, smoke or do drugs (they were taught all 3 vices were for the weak minded)2 practice abstinence in sexxxx, 2 live w/ their girlfriends. I have visited many countries all over the world, as have my children and we do help out--we buy clothing or toys or needed items for the family--even by our stds. bikes are cheap as are other items that won''t rot the teeth and can delight--we give freely, but with an eye on uplifting and inspiring--not just to delight the senses or tastebuds. nxt pst
