Anonymous commented : Rooster wrote : "They should be able to choose whether to start a family or get an education first." I agree 100%! Rooster wrote : "I do not think that anything of significant will change soon in my lifetime. " I agree. No one has the power to stop the events that are coming, nor should anyone try. Things will continue to get worse, MUCH worse. Only by going through the fire to come will we see the sunrise on the other side. My only reason for posting is to reach the few people who have a gut feeling that things in the world are terribly wrong, but cannot see the cause. These are the only people who are ready to listen and understand. All the apparent madness in the world can be understood when it is looked at from only one perspective, and that is : "How many souls have been lost today?" When you look at social norms and trends today from this perspective, you can suddenly understand all the apparent madness in the world and where it is coming from. I don't recommend that anyone do anything to resist the unstoppable flow of events. Resisting will only delay the sunrise. Rooster wrote : "So those who want to marry or having sex with 10 years old will have to waite awhile longer or get a single bullet. Fascinating for me is that I never said anything about having sex at 10 years old. I only said marry. I don't think two people married at 10 years old would have any interest in sex (I could be wrong). Actually what I imagine would happen is that if two young people got married, and with good support (not force) from the families, they would get to know each other over a long period of innocent childhood play and interaction. I think we would all agree that getting to know each other is an important pre-requisite and basis for any long term, meaningful relationship. Even more important, then they would have each other and not be alone (like our children are) during the hormone turbo-charged and vulnerable and self-conscious personality and sexually formative years. Two people bonded this way could resist a lot of society evils, like drugs, gangs, depression, suicide, violence. It could actually be a very powerful and beautiful thing, and not perverted as you suggest. I also believe this would solve a lot of problems with our youth, but it is up to courageous PhD social scientists to say. I always wonder why no one questions the fact that we need sex education today in schools, when we didn't need it for thousands of years. Maybe this is why. Our children are alone during the most sensitive years of their lives, and then we wonder when they make bad choices. It was not this way before. Clearly visible for everyone to see, our current system of selecting a mate (dating/love) does not work! Everyone quotes divorce rates of 50+%, but I say those statistics are nonsense, and our divorce rate is actually 99.9%! Why do I say this? I consider EVERY sexual relationship that ends to be a divorce. In other words, if two people are having a sexual relationship, then in God's eyes they should be married. This is exactly what common law marriage is all about. If that relationship ends, it is no less of a divorce because they did not get married, although it does not show up in divorce statistics. Put another way, let's say that marriage is outlawed. If no-one is getting married, then the divorce rate would fall to ZERO also! This appears to suggest that every relationship is wonderful, when in fact the reality could be very different. The picture for marriages is bleak, but the picture for singles is equally bleak. About one million or more teenage girls become pregnant every year, at a rate of 3000 per day, 80% of whom are unmarried. Out of this I million, about 500,000, decide to keep their baby, and 450,000 are aborted (or ? murdered). 100,000 decide to deliver and give the baby up for adoption. In 1950 the incidence of birth from unmarried teenagers was only 13.9%, but in 1985 it increased to 59%. In 1985 alone, 10 million cases of chlamydia, 2 million cases of gonorrhea, I million venereal warts, 0.5 million genital herpes and 90,000 syphilis were diagnosed. Not a pretty picture. So getting married does not work, and staying single does not work. Our current system does not work! It was not this way before. Cheers!!

Anonymous commented : Well, you are a 28 y/o single guy. Why are you want to get involve with previously married woman with two children? You have lot of choices in Thailand if you want to find a educated single Thai girl for wives. Your choice is almost limitless since lot of educated Thai girls are going out of their ways to marry foreigners like you. Forget about this girl, you have plenty of time to find nice Thai girl for a fresh family. Are you fat and ugly person? Most Thai girls will marry men 10 years or old if the men have social and financial status. Since there are shortage of educated men in Thailand comparing to educated women in Thailand. It is Thai social problem due to lack of social engineering and lack of quality education in areas outside of Bangkok. High morality rate is high for Thai males. Birth rate is close to 60:50. By 20 y/o of age, the ratio is about 3:2 female to male. Due to economic and education situations, most males only have 7 grade education and technical schools. Most of their after 7 grade education is mainly on the job trainings. Thaksin is doing something about this problem, but it seemed less likely now. If he and TRT are still controlling the Thai government, we might have a high school and a doctor in every district or tambon.

Anonymous commented : pectations in Thailand due to birth rate ratio. This happened when Thai governments accepted foreign influences of in population control by UN and WHO, Thai women were coerced by physicians to sterilize themselves and with modern cultual fads these Thai women are voluntarily sterilized themselves. As results, non-indigenous population are dominating and populating urban areas. With certain oligarchy class controlling the economy and DP governments promoted tourism economy, Thai women have became on of the exporting commodity beside agricultural produces. With majority of eligible indigenous men with low education laboring in the fields or exported their skills to foreign countries to provide for their families. As the results, foreign men from the low-end of their societies can easily fishing up high quality, high class, and non-indigenous urban Thai girls for very cheap and must more to select from in rolls. Look, lot of old foreign men could fish-up Thai girls who are 10, 20, or 30 years younger than they are. One more advise, all of you can simply place ad in the Indian newspaper for Indian brides where the women's families could pay you the real dowery. Or convert to Islam, so you can marry muslim girls starting at 13 y/o and up for up to 4 wives each time for few goats and camels in some outback muslim countries or maybe pay nothing for muslim girls from southern Thailand if you are proven yourself as capable terrorist.
