cognos Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Lets hope the "sleaze factor" stays predominately in the west. In LOS, there is lots of sleaze, but who really cares?? Who cares what a certain high profile man does , whose nud_e pictures of his latest 20 something year old Thai Mia Noi ( white as a ghost ) are circulating on the internet as we speak?? not me.. Who cares about the bald, pot - bellied, problem - drinking 60 something year old farang expat with a nubile 20 something year old Thai stunner on his arm ?? not me. ( but the west does ) In the west, its not about the dirt on the athletes uniform , its about the "dirt" in the bedroom. Whether its golfer Woods as the brunt of Letterman jokes, whether it's basketball player Wade allegedly giving his wife a sexually transmitted disease ( he was named " Father of the year" in 2007 by the US Father's Day Committee), the sleaze has migrated from Wall Street and Washington to the Sports arena. Sleaze is the Sportsman of the Year!!! It makes you wonder, which one is worse..the athletes who commit the personal "sins", or the folks who rush to read about it with glee?? LOS copies the west too much already.. farang LOS lovers should hope this Sleaze aspect can stay under the western microscope and not migrate carte blanche to LOS. Question..do you think it will ????

cognos Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 I should add that I DO care about young Thai women being exploited in the sex trade; I wish it would STOP..but that is different from the Western "National Enquirer" mentality of "shame on you", but do nothing to attempt to be proactive in making the world a better place. In my humble view, making the world a better place through Education is preferable to ridiculing people who screw up . In many cases its..but for the grace of God go us..

cognos Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 This will degenerate as quick as an intelligent conversation in the football Forum it may "degenerate" to an "intelligent" forum about why sleaze is not much of an issue in Thailand per se (eg: the my bpen rai attitude of Thais and of most expats, inherently different cultures, where sex scandals are not high on most anyone's priority list..but it SHORE is da big issue in da states)..but then again..probably not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyLew Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Nothing wrong with a 60 yr old with a 20 yr old The 20 yr old would not be with the 60 yr old if he/she did not want to be. The reason you see the mentioned sports stars being blasted in press by media is the media's non stop desire to put people on pedestal then find ways to knock them off the pedestal. It sells print !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oevna Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 What's this all about now? Since when did the West have a monopoly on sleaze? Not justifying anything, just wondering what the difference is between Western sleaze and Eastern sleaze? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanook2me Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Aunty cognos.... In what ways do you think LoS copies the West too much already? Thai teenagers are hooked into Japanese and Korean fashions/music/lifestyle not the latest garage band from the states... Its a bit of an urban myth spread by farangs to other farangs that Thais wannabe farangs...they just want to be rich rich and rich just like most people on earth...

Spoonman Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Sleaze in Thailand, who woulda thunk it...... luckily im not 60, though i do have a vested interest in my pot belly, the coont has taken lots of years and dollars to perfect.

MrRichard2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Unless your a Sleaze why would you want it around you or your children, or other peoples children ? The answer is you don't. If the Thai's want to change their attitudes towards the Sleazy people in their country it might reduce sleazy behavior ...... newsflash : That would be a good thing ...... The idea that "Thai's don't care" is incorrect,(just another misguided excuse) they care like any other parent or prostitute cares, they just don't show it to others. The idea that Farangs who come here to exploit the young don't care would be true. Not caring about others isn't exactly something you would want to present as the foundation for a new society now is it ? Most everyone has some degree of care for others it's just a matter of how much. Maybe we need a poll to make the point. Is sleazy behavior ok for my daughter and the other guys ? Only ok for the other guys ? Or I would prefer neither my or the other guys daughter be doing sex shows in Pat Pong ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
