    Pre-Marital Sex. - Part I.

    By Anonymous, Created on: 18/06/2003, Last updated on: 26/04/2007

    » Hello Mr. Rooster ; I moved this discussion to this more appropriate thread. Mr. Rooster wrote : "People are like animals, and their sexual drives will involve some types of pre-marital sex. So prostitution will be there to provide needed service. " The sexual urge is indeed extraordinarily powerful,...

    • Anonymous commented : con't. Only 100 years ago in the US, the legal age of consent to marry was 10 years old (!). I believe Thailand was similar. It is hard to imagine pre-marital sex under those conditions. Did the country and society crumble?? Were people unhappy?? Was divorce rampant? Were children abandoned? Were children being molested and kidnapped? Were there single mothers? Were teens killing themselves? Were women being battered? Were there teen gangs? Was there prostitution? (yes, but no police force was necessary to control or limit it. It was self-limiting). California was one of the first states to raise the age of consent. It raised it from ten to fourteen in 1889 and then from fourteen to sixteen in 1897. Then, in 1913, California again raised it from sixteen to eighteen. Tennessee went the furthest: under Tennessee law, it was a felony to have sex with any woman under twenty-one. Has this stopped anyone from having sex?? We created this problem ourselves. Raising the age of consent to marry GUARANTEES pre-marital sex, and a LOT of it! Raise the age of consent higher and I guarantee you'll have even MORE pre-marital sex, certainly not less. We think we need to graduate from college first, or that young people are too "immature". Unfortunately, you cannot tell hormones to wait until after college, nor should you. This is a good example of passing a law to fix one problem only to have 10 bigger problems explode a few years later (pre-marital sex, over-crowded prisons, teen pregnacy, teen suicide, drug abuse, single mothers, violence against women, divorce, sexual dysfunction, prostitution, etc.) Rather than allow our sons and daughters to marry, we think it perfectly normal to send them with our blessings on a road to hell. We make these problems ourselves. Cheers!!

    family visa

    By Anonymous, Created on: 02/01/2004, Last updated on: 12/09/2006

    » When the Thai government will allow foreigners with Thai spouse and children to own a one year visa without the need to travel out of the country every 3 month or to show 800 thousands bahts in a bank account, this is very unfair and even most of the Thais don't earn this sum per year, why this discrimination...

    • Anonymous commented : Yes, I agree. My sister-in-law and her daughter could not even get a month US visa to visit California and Texas where her sister and cousins living. She applied twice and caused them 12,000 bahts without refund, which is her two months salary. She got so discussed with the whole things that she would never want to apply again or visit her US families. She told them to come to Thailand instead.

    • Anonymous commented : Why are you wanting to go to Canada? Are you not thinking about return to Thailand? If you want to live in North America, you might want to go back to California.

    • Anonymous commented : egate. For example, southern california in general or Pasadena are areas that have many asian people living and working and you would likely find no shortage of friends. I live in Hawaii and know many Thai and other asian people and we don't think any differently of one another. Perhaps you moved to follow your professional goals, but that may not be the best direction for you socially. I'm not very familiar with Utah, but my impression is that they are not no open minded as southern californians. All the best.

    Understanding Thai Men, help

    By Anonymous, Created on: 25/03/2005, Last updated on: 16/08/2007

    » Dear forum, I've just returned from my first trip to Thailand, and I did enjoy the people and culture very much. Hope to return soon. I wasn't looking for a boyfriend on my visit, or even a date actually, but I became a little romantically friendly with one Thai man (met through mutual friend)....

    • Anonymous commented : Dear Rooster, Thank you for your reply. So faan (fan) is the same as girlfiend/boyfriend as I understand you. Ok, that is helpful. One thing, you say no respectable Thai lady would co-habitate without marriage. I noticed that amongst this group of people that I met, there were several couples where there was no official wedding,but the couples were living together and called each other "faan" and not "mia" or wife/husband (thai word for husband?). So according to you it is not common in Thailand? It was certainly common amongst the group I met. These individuals did come from poorer backgrounds - does that make any difference on whether people will live together without formal marriage? Living together without marriage is common here in California, so I didn't see it as unusual concept. And people who live together here do commonly break up, just like boyfriends/girlfriends who don't live together. I have done this myself. What I did see that was unusual was that NONE of the wives or girlfriends made any attempt to go out socially with their husbands/boyfriends when we went out as a group. Our group visiting from the west (men and women) went out with only the Thai men (to dance, drink, hang out). Why do the women not go? Do they not want to go? Or do they know their men want to go be with other women and do they accept this??? Maybe the women know the men might cheat on them, but don't feel they could stand up to their men? Or that they couldn't leave the men because they would lose their income for them and their families and so they tolerate men seeking sex elsewhere? (I don't know, I'm just trying to figure out why women would let their men go party with other females without them going along... this concept is different to me). I hear many rumors about Thai men being unfaithful, but I would like to think this is the exception (The Cassanova as Rooster says), and not expected for the average Thai man. Any further insight welcome. Best to you! Velynda

    Solar Power

    » I dont understand why Thailand is not using the sun which is there 365 days/year. Can anybody tell me ? I am in the process of building a house but when it comes to solar energy i might have to import myself to only then be confronted with a high import tax on such products. And that while closing...

    • Anonymous commented : In California they grow a lot of rice. Rather than burn the rice husks, they bale them like hay bales, then use them in home construction at a pittance of cost. They are essentially rated at R56! Which means they insulate bigtime, as the walls of the homes are literally as thick as a bale, additionally they can be put up with a few friends in a weekend! Simple. Look up "hay bale houses". on Google. Also there is no waste and pollution by the burning. Janet

    • Anonymous commented : It appears that scalable solar energy may be here already. Nanosolar in San Jose California is claiming their thinfilm printed solar sheets can be purchased ata cost of 99 cents- US per watt. If this is the case you have the beginnings of the great energy revolution. With that kind of cost it would be ideal for homeowner to power both his home and his vehicle with solar electricity. Utilities could even provide hydrogen as fuel at reasonable prices by splitting it from seawater. The US in particular is sick of dealing with OPEC. It costs us over a billion dollars a day to try to maintain the continuance of that supply and what do we get-higher and higher prices from countries that continue to oppress their own people. Yep- scalable solar is coming.
