What's worse: bringing a little girl to Sharkey's freelancer bar or walking her down Walking Street ('cause I used to see that shit all the time)?
I'm believe that this post is getting off topic in several ways.
It's drifted to personnel attacks and we are now attacking the poster rather that the opinion posted.
I liked 9T9 first post and thought it had a lot of Incite & Depth that could be be reflected upon for many of those with a Khmer partner and kids.
It's tough being a White guy with family in Camb, just look at the number of replies to the post about an expat being under surveillance by what was believed to be an NGO and his moto drivers.
For me, hookers are just people going about making a living.
I truly wish that economical circumstances were different and they had a chance at other employment, but such is life.
I won't pass judgement on them.

I refuse to go out with nothing more than a whimper followed by a small farting sound and a shit stain on my bed sheets..

That's a ridiculous comparison. Walking Street is a public right of way which includes shops, restaurants and normal businesses as well as the nightlife. Sharkys is an establishment which, despite musictwat's angry rantings, is much more famous for being a prostitution venue than it is for being a music venue.nightmare.believer wrote:What's worse: bringing a little girl to Sharkey's freelancer bar or walking her down Walking Street ('cause I used to see that shit all the time)?

Noone is passing judgment on hookers. They are questioning the appropriateness of taking a six year old child into a place that is geared towards prostitutes (and their sleazy western customers) until midnight.

NMB,
I have no understanding at all of what point you are trying to make with this comment.
Please explain.

Agree 100% scoffer, but if I want my kids to learn about biology, let it happen when the're old enough and let it come from the right person, not from some cock-gobbling sweaty old expat/shriveled hooker scene they witness in the toilet of some Phnom Penh doss-house at 3am.scoffer wrote:For me, hookers are just people going about making a living.

Not quite correct scobienz,
I was addressing a different point that had been raised. ( it's all to do with how we read English and which point stands out, PM me for clarification if you want. )
As far as taking young children to places that promote prostitution , I agree this is a bad choice.
However I can identify 10,000's of places in Camb where children are exposed to situations that the Western World would claim as unacceptable.
All we need do is get the Western World to practice what it preaches - but that also is another story.
As a side note - how many posters contributing to this thread can truthfully say that they have not enjoyed some P4P whilst in Camb, or other parts of Asia?.

I think these are similar, but not quite the same. A closer comparison would be what's worse: taking a little girl to Sharky's freelancer bar or taking her to Walking Street as a destination in itself and propping her at a bar to drink a Shirley Temple and enjoy the Walking Street scene for a few hours. They are equally inappropriate.

Oh...so we are expected to make a point with our posts now? All right. As a father, I wouldn't bring my daughter into Sharkey's Bar because it is just absurd. But she wouldn't see anything that would be something that would be damaging to her. Conversely, walking her down Walking Street, while being a public street, would be far worse for her. I cannot explain away tall men with tits and a Viagra-induced boner, cheap sluts everywhere, hookers, freelancers, old men with women barely legal, and in some cases not legal girls, and all of it right in your face.scoffer wrote:nightmare.believer wrote:What's worse: bringing a little girl to Sharkey's freelancer bar or walking her down Walking Street ('cause I used to see that shit all the time)?

With a 6 year old kid in tow? Hand on heart, not me. 'Cos that's the only bone of contention in this discussion. Anything else is straw men.scoffer wrote: As a side note - how many posters contributing to this thread can truthfully say that they have not enjoyed some P4P whilst in Camb, or other parts of Asia?.

It's YOUR post, and I agree it's going way off topic.
I think it's fine to work on a deep sea oil rig, but it doesn't mean I have to think their work environment is a great place for kids to hang out.
Why even get on this thread and complain about it going off topic, yet you are practically incoherent on it?
I think your brain is truly broken.

Cambod,
Did you miss my post commenting that taking children to a place of prostitution is a bad decision ?.
OK, you guys seem to be focused on the most recent group of comments, where as I'm still looking at points raised 2 - 3 pages ago as I have not been logged on since they were posted and feel they are worthy of a reply.
Another aspect of the herd mentality displayed is that folk often get on board and attack a weak post and make the entire thread all about the weak post and forget about other issues raised.
So apparently I'm supposed to only respond to the most recent post made since logging on and am not permitted to explore other comments.
I don't work this way.
