Decency Laws?

[the_webninja]

Sex is NOT Evil, if it was then the Human Race would cease to Exist. In my Studies of Religion and Philiosophy I came across Several Sexually related writings and Statues in Buddhism and Hinduism where Buddha and his Consort where posed having Sexual Intercourse. There are many other Sexually related statues on the sides of Buildings in India. The Buddhist Scriptures talk about Sex as a Natural Human Function to be enjoyed. So if this is the case, and Thailand is SUPPOSE to be based on Buddhist Faith, then WHY did they Ban the Coyote Sexy VCD?!

Yet they permit the Disgusting Lyrics of YO MTV Gangsta Rap to be Sold in Thailand and Gangsta Rap Videos and DVDs, which depict Violence against Police and Killing people, this is what they consider DECENT?

Somebody needs to get their head Screwed on Striaght, before they upset the people enough to Riot again. But if that is the only thing you permit, then you reap what you sew, and then Violence is what you will have.

There is NO JUSTIFICATION for Banning Sexually related materials, Scientific FACT has Proven that there is no adverse affects that occur from viewing Sexually related things. In fact Science has proven it to be Calming and Relaxing, and does not lead to any form of "Lewd Behavior" (for those of you who don't understand, Lewd Behavior is classified and ANYTHING we regard as being FUN.)

If We allow the people who make the Laws to Oppress our Happiness in the most Basic and Fundenmental ways, denying us our RIGHT to Live Free, to BE FREE, to pursue Happiness as only each individual can for themselves. If we allow the Law makers to continue to do these kinds of things, then we submit to a Life of Oppression.

If you allow someone else to Control your Life and Oppress you, THEY WILL.

SEX IS NOT EVIL REMEMBER THIS, and next time you hear someone say "That's Disgusting" Speak UP or Be oppressed by these people who harbor Hatred and Contempt for all others.

It might lead to getting babies far too young.

In a country that still not have qualified teachers in biology lessons, all sexual contact, or at least allmost all, can, and will lead to getting a baby far too soon.

When daddy and mommy still is at school, the rest of the family is poor, and there are no walfare to talk about, i sure understand gov. that ban's allmost everything with sexual explicit.

Yet they don't ban hardly anything that contains explicit violence. The message being sent is that it's bad to have sex, but murder is OK.

(I guess when you add it up, no sex + lot's of violence, it could eventually lead to a decrease in the world's population).

There is a very BIG difference between Ignorance and Stupidity and KNOWLEDGE.

Knowledge is POWER, Knowledge is EMPOWERING. If you TEACH and are Open about Sex, and you TEACH the Dangers and Precautions of Sex, wouldn't that EMPOWER the People to make intelligent Choices instead of Oppresing the people out of FEAR that they might have Sex?

It is upsetting that there are people in this World who try everything they can to Brainwash and Oppress the People and deny people their Rights to Happiness and Freedom, but it is appalling to me that there are Others in this world who actually think that it is OKAY.

Okay Class, Which is the Greater Good?

Compassion and Understanding OR Hatred and Contempt of the people?

FREEDOM OR Oppression?

KNOWLEDGE OR Ignorance?

Please THINK, engage the Brain, get some Coffee, WAKE UP!

Although I totally agree with you on the violence issue I think that the sex issue is deeply rooted in Thai culture. Most ordinary Thai families sleep together in the same room and communities are very close. It is therefore understandable that creating a sexual climate might be not such a good idea.

I don't know about the coyote sexy CD, but young women/girls (and I fall into this category) showing a lot of skin or dressing provocatively hasn't got anything to do with a healthy sex life, I think you might be getting a bit confused as to the issue - "should women be frowned upon when wearing a short sleeved T-shirt?" is different to showing kissing or erotica on TV.

Don't you ever remember growing up watching the TV with your parents and enduring the uncomfortable silence. I certainly don't want to be sitting with my 12 yr old step-son when there are some randy teenagers dry-humping on the screen.

Of the Thai women I know 80% of them had children before the age of 20, 80 percent of whom don't take care of their own kids. They live with their grandparents. In the UK the teenage pregnancy rate is rising year on year despite sex education starting at 10. Incidentally this seems to be the same age so called role models wearing mini-skirts or getting boob jobs seem to become a factor. Why can't we just let kids be kids? After all what age group are pop acts aimed at? Not 30+

I also have a problem with my teenage step son being able to watch Scarface on TV on a Sunday morning...

Anyone who thinks sex isn't dirty must not be doing it right.

Depends on where you are. I don't seem to have any water for my shower, so it could be dirty (or just plain nasty !

Dirty and nasty are good.

What was that in the OP referring to the Buddhism and Hinduism?

Their views on sex were totally different from modern day ninjas. Totally.

Did I mention this: TOTALLY.
