Comment on Chris Anderson, Peanut Catcher Extraordinaire by Maxwell

Awesome! I think the text should include a warning ‘Don’t try this at home’. Remember the child that got a peanut into their lungs and fairly soon died from it in spite of all efforts, though nowadays maybe would have a better chance.

Comment on Chiang Mai at Night; Sex Tourism in Thailand by edsnail

Yea, I know what you mean. Boycotting the trade won’t help those who are doing it willingly, they need the money and would only be forced to lower their prices. Stricter laws won’t help them at all, unless they are directed against pimps and traffickers only. Forcing the girls to go further underground will only push them into zones that nobody can see, or regulate.
I think the solution is
1: Fiercely pursue and prosecute anybody who is forcing anybody to work against their will and
2: If you are going to visit these girls, treat them with as much respect as possible. Be nice to them. They are providing a very valuable service. If they are treated with respect consistently, hopefully they will return the favour.
