Again I post the link, and again, let's see how many read it, because some just don't understand and are truly "divorced" from the real world and don't know what goes on around them.This is but one line from it............................Acceptance of prostitution is one of a cluster of harmful attitudes that encourage and justify violence against women. Violent behaviors against women have been associated with attitudes that promote men's beliefs that they are entitled to sexual access to women, that they are superior to women and that they are licensed as sexual aggressors (White and Koss, 1993). Customers of prostitutes strongly endorse these attitudes toward women............https://www.psychiatrictimes.com/view/prostitution-sexual-violence

Again, another assuming they know anyone here. News. You don't. My ex wives didn't run, I did, and took the kids because I'm the only real parent they have. I will do it again with the one I also left here, as she's a very disturbed covert narcissist that only cares about the money she receives and not the child, as she gave her other two away at ages 9 and 10, to Thai man's families. People do listen to what I say, because I post reality and don't make excuses for bad behavior like some do. You, and others here, still don't understand what you are sticking up for, and I think you haven't read the link I provided, as the truth is something you don't want to hear. Try reading it before you comment, and then we can really see where your thinking comes from. And yopu don't have to read what I write, because a state of being in denial is hard to break anyway.

That's usually what it's all about. Most couldn't care less where a child goes, and most, including the judges here, already know that a country outside Thailand gives the child a much better chance at an education and better paying job and future. Some will go so low as make their child a prisoner here until they get a payoff. I'm in the same position myself, as I will take my daughter out of here as soon as I can re -establish back in the US.

Here are a few...........https://nutritiouslife.com/eat-empowered/low-sugar-yogurt-options/.

I never denied what you said about losing weight and what to do regarding that. I plainly said starches aren't bad, unless you are overweight or obese . In that case, if you need to lose a lot of weight, you go low carb until you get to where you need to be. As a person ages, they need less food, but that doesn't mean starving yourself or leaving out complex carbs. They have nutrients that help the body and keep you full longer and satisfied. What people do with those complex carbs,meaning what they add, is what hurts their goals of staying lean. I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say, but I did repeat this before. My take on diet is right no matter how old a person is, as long as they aren't again, overweight or obese, which needs a radical change in the amount of carbs they need. All of what you posted I knew when I first started, as that advice was there in those books I read. A bodybuilder wants the lowest percentage of body fat, so they use a diet approach that helps them burn stored fat while increasing muscle, which isn't an easy thing as you need energy to work out up to 5 days a week and enough carbs for that, along with enough protein to build the muscle.

Someone started it, others followed because it benefited them, which of course again, doesn't make it right. Islam is a religion, created by man and not God, so it has it's faults, just like Catholicism , Buddhism, Mormons and others.

It is one of the better ways to show your love, and it doesn't matter where you do it. Even here it's done more and more, and the younger generation sees no wrong in showing love to your significant other. Old school thinking is wrong in this. Let the others think what they want, as what they think means nothing. I'm not talking about making out on a public transportation but holding hands.

Better to be used by strangers or taken for granted by a husband? Maybe, but I sincerely doubt it. Truth is, many people should never get involved with others of the opposite sex, because some are only out to use or hurt because they were taught to be narcissists by their parents. Of course, they just have to have sex to fulfill their needs, so off they go. Ask yourself this. is it right to use women just for your own wants? Some women are good, and they deserve better than to be used or taken for granted, but people being what they sometimes are, aren't going into a relationship to help the other but to again, benefit from it for themselves.

A good comeback coming from an obvious teenager with no life wisdom. Research before you comment, or it makes you look like others here who are in denial or are lacking restraint.

Yes, the same goes for Christianity but someones right. When we all die, we will see. I just believe in God so that's my choice. Maybe we're all sheep too, but i don't think so. Many people that take their own lives did have everything going well, besides their thinking. Wrong thinking is what a person with depression does, and a lot of the time. Overthinking causes panic, fear, anger, anxiety and depression and that leads some to find a wau out, instead of looking at all options.

Who gets to choose what breeds are eaten and others as pets? People make up their own rules and there are followers(sheep) that will follow anyone they like or believe in, just like Buddha. People are people, and are seen to do very strange things, some of which are accepted by other like thinkers. Does this make a wrong behavior right, just because thousands consider it to be? Of course not, as there are behaviors that a human with a conscience won't consider normal, even leaving God out of the picture. What I think about suicide being a cowards way isn't what you might see. I know they are suffering as much, or more, than most anyone, because I have researched it and have personally lost friends to it. They had everything going well in their lives, and left behind others who were devastated because they didn't understand why. These days, there are many things to help a person with depression, if they take the first step. I'm not talking about those with terminal diseases and pain if that's what you're thinking but those who have been around long enough to know there is a better way.

No one will ever consider you as being normal with what you keep saying on this forum, unless they also live the same kind of lifestyle. Some of us here have good memories.

That's because you wouldn't understand normal if it fell on your head. Normal is treating a woman as a partner and not an object. Normal is doing anything you can to help your children have a good future. Normal is romancing and treating a woman well so they have someone they can rely on. That's what I've always done. My problem has been my choices in women I trusted, as I've always explained. You can't comment here, or make it unbiased, as what you've described in your past posts hasn't been anywhere near what's considered normal behavior, besides the fact you helped put your Thai children through school, yet forgot about the ones you left behind. Also, your wife (girlfriends) here have always been bought, so you're prejudice against the other side is noted. Some will never know, nor care about, what constitutes a normal relationship between a man and a woman, because theirs have been cash purchases. I'm not against someone marrying a bar girl. At least it gets them out of a bad trade (not always), and into a home with just one man.

My ilk understands what happens to people involved in the trade better than your ilk does, as we take the time to research and having children and wives or girlfriends, we actually care about them and don't like to picture other women or children in this predicament, which damages them at the very least. I couldn't care less what others do otherwise but if it involves hurting or controlling other humans, that's what I don't like. People who buy aren't concerned what happens to these women, but only how it benefits them and their sexual wants. They don't see the lives or into the minds of those that are in the sex trade. Again, try reading the link before commenting again. You and others can tell me what they think about what professionals involved in the psychological effects it has on people have come up with, but of course some will still be in denial and promote anything that again, benefits them. People voted for Donald Trump, although I could see what kind of lunatic he was long before he was elected president, and most are beginning to really understand now, but many are still on his side., which shows just how some people think. Again, Hitler was loved by many until they saw the real him, and some still think he was okay.

People aren't all the same exactly of course, but there are just a few personality types that are shared by all. People are indeed influenced, either positively or negatively, by others around them. Childhood is where all behavior, either right or wrong, originates. The breakdown of the family and immorality within it is a precursor to what happens in the world, as all problems worldwide start at home. What's normal to others might seem wrong to some, and vice-versa. That still doesn't make it right behavior as there is an accepted right and a wrong no matter where you originate. Eating dogs is an example. Some cultures haven't evolved totally and still think eating an animal that's considered domestic is normal. It all goes back to Gods words, although some don't believe any of that so that leaves them out, and all they have to go on is what they learned at home. If dad ate dogs, it's okay. If dad beats mom, or molests my sister, it's okay and so on. Suicide is taking a precious life out because they feel life isn't worth living anymore. Some are in such pain, they feel it's the only thing they have, and I feel for them, as I understand suicide well after researching it for 30 years to try and help those I care about who have it, until this day. God frowns on it and a lot of the times, it's a cowards way out, as it hurts the people more that you leave behind. My point was mainly that prostitution isn't the simple thing many see it as. It's hurting women, girls, boys and families every day, and those that profit by it don't care about anything besides that profit. What many don't see are the behind the scenes things that go on.

Explain how I and others here are repressed. I did say sex was a normal natural thing. I also said paying for it isn't, and using and or controlling others with it isn't normal either. You're paying a woman for sex and actually calling us, who have normal, loving, responsible and caring relationships with women, weirdos?

Culture has nothing to do with basic human behavior which all races and nationalities share. People are the same all over as far as wants, needs and insanity. Personality types are the same all over. Culture is a man made thing. Humans and their emotions aren't.

I haven't insulted anyone. I said prostitution is abhorrent behavior, and others have called me names, so where's your logic? It's also not mine to judge, as that's God's place. Some things in this world are wrong, and pointing out the obvious isn't judging. I have no interest in high jacking anything. I'm only responding to some other's replies, which is what this discussion forum is for, and also to give advice, which I do a lot because I know it will help. What's warped is actually thinking prostitution is a normal behavior, and those that justify it are surely users, as no one else would bother unless they are also immoral thinkers. I think many just don't realize what goes into the trade and how sick it can be. This isn't only about a man getting off in a pretty girl but human slavery, coercion, drug addiction, rape, abuse and death. Wake up and read at least the link I provided. Being in denial never helps anything.

Who says?

You really don't read what you write do you? You think promoting a trade that takes advantage and many times has people as slaves is a normal sexual activity? A person that looks at women as an equal partner does indeed understand women, as he has taken the time to be an active listener because why? he actually cares about them and what they need. Sex is of course a normal natural activity but paying for sexual favors is not. Saying everyone pays is a lame excuse because providing for a wife is not the same thing. A consenting adult isn't one who has been forced or coerced into doing a natural thing with countless men for their money, and many times raped, beaten or killed. Is it a hang up wanting to have sex with a woman that actually enjoys your company and is glad to do things to please you, instead of being forced or doing them reluctantly because she needs the money to pay for her children back home with grandma that she rarely sees? I'm a Christian, and have never seen sex as a dirty thing. In fact, being a believer, I know God himself put it here for us to enjoy, but not to make it a sick, dirty thing where force is used to control a woman. God put more nerve endings in a woman's vagina than most other places for a reason, and they aren't there just to give birth. It's sad that so many "adults" think this is somehow a normal behavior just because it's the "world's oldest profession". Gambling is also legal in many places because others profit by it, but it also ruins homes, families and lives when people get hooked and think, "one more roll of the dice and I'll be rich". It's not surprising to me that immorality and being an atheist go hand in hand with many people. I challenge anyone who thinks prostitution isn't harmful to those involved to read the link I provided. It might change some thinking but being "adults", many are incapable of change and only go by animals instincts they have used most of their lives. You can lead a horse to water but.........

Over your head and psychology is a hobby of mine, so you're way outta your league here "bro". But keep replying, as it's amusing just how many disturbed people there are in this world that think keeping women down, treated as objects and not caring about how they live is a normal practice.

Sad that you don't realize it's you and a certain few others who sound foolish. I'm betting not one of you have read the link I provided either from laziness or an inbred thinking that somehow you actually think what you are doing is okay behavior.I'll add the link again for those that won't go back to look. Try reading it and see if you understand what's involved..............https://www.psychiatrictimes.com/view/prostitution-sexual-violence

And what's wrong with keeping up the love, respect and enjoyment of two people? Is that so hard to do? This is a good explanation for you..............Transactional relationships involve someone getting something for giving, and we need those in life. Genuine love relationships, on the other hand, are entirely different. In this case, we give, serve, or do something just because we love the other person. In these relationships, there is no transaction taking place.

My point is why they go into the trade in the first place, and unemployment isn't a good argument. The other reasons are a lot harsher and most involve mental illnesses of both sides.

Yes, there are quite a few people worldwide that think the trade is okay. A lot of People believed in Hitler, Stalin, Kim, Pol Pot and Donald Trump also. I'm hardly pushing religion on anyone. You obviously are only a participant in the trade without knowing the dark side and what the life of these people really is. So much the sadder.
