after a couple of sessions the lass would be suffering from loose bowel syndrome me thinks

Another fine example of how a certain species of humans have no respect for anyone who is not of that same species !!!!!

One Thai women luring other Thai women into prostitution...
What assumptions about the Thai species would a simple mind such as yourself make from that, KID?

Slavery in Arabic countries is an age old and ongoing situation. It is race based, negros and more lately SE Asian victims.

Sex slavery has its agents in every country now.

This and other forms of slavery is under the guise of imported itinerant labour, under contract, where workers are bound to labour, so bonded.

When researching slavery in Roman times, an interesting account by Pliny, while a consul in Pontus, Asia Minor, refers to him having to buy clothes and gifts for his slaves "as was the custom" when said slave wanted a holliday to visit his family! The slave also had his own home.

Slaves were not treated as depicted in "Ben Hur" and other romantic movie productions, but were assets, more like bonded labour to their masters.

The Hebrew "slaves" in Egypt, of Biblical report, were similarly bonded labour, ie. contract workers, overseen by their own peoples.

True, harsh conditions fell upon slaves off and on, so ensuing in slave rebellions. Emperor Chin of China used "criminals" as slaves for building sections of the Great Wall, and similar "criminals " were used in the first known instance of psychological warfare, forced to suicide before the enemy rather than return to their Chinese masters!

The dullos, or slave, of Greek times had a master servant/companion relationship going on. When reading Greek stories re. these relationships one arrives at the conclusion that the slavery system was one more of an extended family situation than of horriffic bondage.

I don't condone slavery by any means, but are not many of us all, in the supposed free world, also subject to slavery even now? Unable to move or have a holliday without consent, restricted in our liberties by legal(?) constraint, unable to own property. like a slave, no voting rights, like slaves, no driver's licence, bound to a restrictive contract.

Wage slaves all of us unless self employed.

It's not easy to become a free man.

It is a shame, even now, it it prevelent, in many countrys.

especially the wage slavery.

Slavery is different from bonded labour, bonded labour is different from being on a low income and not being able to travel, not having citizenship and voting rights are a different issue still.
Let's not throw it all in one pot, though there are connections.
"Exploitation" is a useful term for distinguishing.

Whether it be labled slavery or bondage, both words are used to describe restricted and controlled behaviour,...ref ,,,"children of Israel taken into captivity AND bondage".

Bonded labour in Australia in early colonial times was the lot of paroled prisoners, thus restricted occupation as was the case in slavery.

I beg to differ with you stroller, any form of restriction upon another is an enslavement, a dependenvy upon the condition or limitation so placed, freedom of action and exercise of human right is curtailed, as in a prison.

'Wage Slave', sounds enticing, switch of the brain and agree 'Yeh, we're all slaves'.

It might pass unchallenged if we don't consider that the vast majority of us are slaves to nothing but our own desires. The kind of money many people splash out on beer, fags, flash cars and a host of other unnecessary trappings would if saved and invested provide freedom to live and do as one pleases.

The vast majority of people in the western world are not 'Wage Slaves' they are slaves to their own stupidity.

Unless of course you are arguing that choosing to be bonded to a debt to pay for a car that is rotting on the sidewalk, or burning money on tobacco, pissing it down the drain, throwing it across a card table or more commonly falling prey to the latest 'Must Have Trinket it life' is not stupidity.

To equate the traps of that stupidity to the enslavement of women into the sex industry is the kind of weak intellectual argument normanally reserved for spouting off a bar stool.

Any form?
I am restricted from entering Burma and start my own business there. I cannot vote in Thailand nor choose at free will what and where to work. My gf is not permitted to visit Germany with me. And my neighbour does not have the money to buy a Mercedes, because his wages are restricted due to conditions and limitations his employer placed upon him.

All examples of slavery?

Pretty much what went on in Roman times too.^^

Just had a look at an old Webster's dictionary definition of slavery and it is pretty much along the lines that I have so far described.

Possibly the value of meaning has changed as it does in a living language, but bondage, restriction and curtailment of freedoms are some of the descriptions given.

Any other, more up to date definitions anyone?

Itchy,

I was obviously not equating slavery to being a slave of one's own desires, rather that a slave was a person restricted in freedom by another, either through capture or by other bond.

"We estimate up to a 100 women remain in the Middle East being forced to work as prostitutes," Jaruwat said. Most of the victims are from the North and Northeast.

Methinks this may be a 'slight' underestimate.

Thanks, this bit was missing earlier. Being a foreign citizen and/or being on a (low-paid) work contract in itself does not constitute slavery.
This is an interesting site.

Thanks stroller^^

Could be correct,

But would that also mean all of the scantily clad women in the bars and whorehouses in Thailand are being forced??
Or would you suppose that some do it just here out of choice and of their own free will and are forced every place else ??

There is an enormous bandwidth here in Thailand, bars and "whorehouses" are a different kettle of fish.
As a long-term resident, I am sure you are clued in about what is going on in some local brothels - they are not all there because they chose prostitution as a career.

Besides, there is some trafficking from neighbouring countries as well.

Don't really know much about it, just what I have seen while walking down the streets in the evenings when I lived in Chiang Mai and for a couple of days that I went down to Pattaya to visit a friend, I haven't been in a bar in Thailand since we were in Nam in the 60s and the mid 70s when I came here for time off when I was working in the mid east and quit drinking shortly thereafter.

But maybe my terminology is a bit off for some too, You see I consider a whorehouse anyplace that has a bunch of women hanging out, mostly paid by the place, to furnish companionship to drunks and sell pussy or blowjobs for money on the side.

The Middle East covers a large land mass and a fair portion of the Earth's population. So where in this great mass - that is, in which country is this modern day slavery to be found

In that case, yes, most of the girls in bars are there by choice, usually economic. The girls in the brothels are something else altogether. I used to live in a place called Pratu-nam-pra-in which is where the main highway out of Bangkok forks to go to either Northern Thailand or to Isarn. All the inbound trucks stopped there to wait until midnight when they could enter Bangkok. The place was full of brothels catering to the drivers. Really fcuking ugly places. The girls were not allowed outside. They live, eat, sleep, and work there. A few mates and I went for a looksee one night. In most of the places we didn't even stay for a drink. Lots of pissed, agro, nasty Thai truckies everywhere.Didn't start to feel safe until we crossed the pedestrian overpass out of there.
BIG difference to Pattaya and Chiangmai.

There are thousands in the UK.
The girls are too scared to say or do anything about it. I have met many here and the story is the same again and again.

And what is this assertion based on? Your experiences in the Western-oriented bars?
