UK threatens to cut off aid cash to charities after Oxfam sex report

Featured Replies

This is fine by me, many governments are cutting back on giving aid to most countries and organizations due to several factors such as economic downturn, allegations of funds misuse etc ..

I for one agree with not giving to other countries to help their displaced and poor ... why shouldn't that country clean up it's own mess, why shouldn't that countries government help it's own poor ... why should other countries have to help because some greedy rich PM can't be bothered to get his own backyard in order.

  • Long past time the UK government stopped giving money to so-called major charities. All they are is money making machines for a handful of folk getting  over paid, big fat salaries. Of every

  • Organised charity:  Poor people in rich countries giving money to rich people in poor countries.

  • I know of someone who has a Charity, who now has a very much better lifestyle, since they started it. Another person also connected with this same Charity, bought a property in France to live in.

Of course, the other women you say you regularly use may tell you that they love their job at the same time as they call you a 'hansum' man; but how many are telling the truth, I wonder? Very few, if all research and confidential interviews with prostitutes, of all races and locations, are to be believed.

I doubt if you, with your attitude, has any experience with actual prostitutes, so you are relying on research and confidential interviews with prostitutes, which I always look on with scepticism. 

I'm 100% sure that if I set out to find prostitutes with a negative attitude I could do so with no problem at all. I also am 100% sure that if I set out to find prostitutes with a positive attitude I could do that too.

Research is like stats. Depends on what you want your research/ stats to prove as to the information you include.

So women, in your view, all have a political agenda and so are not to be believed?

LOL. You spoil your own case by making sweeping generalisations.

I was merely commenting upon your sweeping generalisation

Who happens to be a "she". Say no more!

Of course, you are now backpedalling desperately:-

Of course I don't mean ALL, just ones in high positions in organisations with a political component.

I believe them as much as I believe politicians.

Pathetic.

Never paid her money, she was the wife of a friend, she was running her own bar by then.

Told me about her past, sad story, sold by her mother to a Thai brothel age 14.

 

PS. I rarely 'see' anyone more than once, but I may have a drink or play pool or chat more often.

I did live with a woman who worked with them, and she always told me 'in the locker room' many talked about how they mostly enjoyed their work and the sex part of the job. I had no reason to disbelieve her, I wasn't paying her for sex, sometimes she talked about work and the other girls.

Only those whose conscience is troubling them would assume all prostitutes are as you describe and so  deny the existence of sex slavery; and it doesn't just exist in the poorer countries. Modern slavery and trafficking 'in every UK town and city'

Quote

Sexual exploitation is the most common form of modern slavery reported in the UK, followed by labour exploitation, forced criminal exploitation and domestic servitude.

 

Of those who entered the trade voluntarily, many did so as a last resort.

 

Like a friend of my wife's in Thailand. Abandoned by her husband with two children to feed she scraped by on what work she could get, often going hungry so she could feed her two children. A big Tesco Lotus opened up near her and she applied for a job; cleaner, shelf filler anything. The first thing they asked her was what year she finished high school. Finished? Her parents couldn't' afford to send her to high school; she never started! 

 

One day an acquaintance suggested she try working in a bar. Originally she though, in her naivety, as a waitress; but she soon found out other services were expected of her. She buckled down and did the work, hated it at first but became more used to it as time went on. This work allowed her to educate her children through university. They now have good jobs and look after her so she has been able to retire from the work.

 

She doesn't regret what she did, because she did it for her children; but she hated it.

 

I suspect that most of the women you talk to endure the sex with strangers as she did, rather than enjoy it as you want to believe.

As I said, it was my (former) live in girlfriend, a staff member of a night club that suggested to me that many of the women enjoy the sex. I saw no reason to disbelieve her, she had no reason to lie to me. I don't really care if a woman I've paid for sex enjoys sex with me, it isn't important to my pleasure. They get their enjoyment later as they spend the money.

 

As for the education Thai ladies,

I've put two through high school, and two now study at university. My wife, and a 12 year old girl who was abandoned by her family (nearly 20 years old now).
