Mr Lee Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 True or false? I was not there but from all I read and hear, it could be true. Did other countries use those bases and visit on a regular basis besides the US? Lawmakers say US helped promote ‘sex tourism’ in RP10/10/2011 Amid the stir created by United States Ambassador Harry Thomas Jr.’s statement on “sex tourism” in the country, lawmakers yesterday retaliated by accusing the United States of contributing to the bad image of the country. According to Akbayan Rep. Walden Bello, it was the United States that contributed to the alleged sex tourism in the country at the time when it was maintaining two huge military bases in Subic in Olongapo and at Clark Air Base in Pampanga.

Dave Hounddriver Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 So what if they did? If a sailor goes to town to get laid and comes back with a filipina bride is he still a sex tourist? If a guy goes looking for it but does not get laid for some reason (drunk, broke or changed his mind) is he still a sex tourist? If a guy comes here to write a book, with no thoughts of sex, and it just happens, is he a sex tourist? It is only relevant when it is illegal or non consensual. Is it legal? I believe it is. A girl in a bar has to pay an Early Work Release to go on a 'date' with a guy where common sense says they will end up in consensual sex. What is wrong with that? (Please don't quote the feminazi rhetoric about stealing the girl's youth or human trafficking. I believe that is a crock to prop up their own system of values, not mine.) You can say the girl does it because she is poor. EVERYONE works because they are poor. If we were rich we would not need to work. Its just a job that the girl agrees to do, whatever her reasons are . . . Its her business. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gapotwo Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Typical politicians, the finger pointing policy. while it is true that that the us military operated major bases in the philippines , and the guys went out nightly to get laid, and spent their hard earned dollars in the bars and brothels there,they were also putting their lives on the line serving their country and also liberated the ph. from the japs.imagine if the japs won, then they would be fingering the japanese. insted of the americans. just my view. ej. :) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the 'Nam days, younever know if you're coming back to support the deep pockets of the mayors of Olongapo andAngeles City again. Hey Joe, you by me drink?
