Vietnam cracks down on sex trade

[dArKeR]

Two Vietnamese bar-girls sit chatting with a foreigner in a night-club in Hanoi. A new decree will name all civil servants, military and police personnel found to have frequented the services of a lady of the night.
Few have taken Vietnam's previous pledges to eradicate prostitution seriously, but new legislation could result in state employees caught with their pants down finding themselves in an unfamiliar and embarrassing position.

Under the new decree that came into force on July 1, the names of all civil servants, military and police personnel found to have frequented the services of a lady of the night will be passed on to their superiors for punishment.

In a country with 1.3 million state employees, civil servants account for 60 percent of prostitutes' customers, according to official figures.

1. sex trade is using children or forcing adults who do not wish to engage in sex for payment.

2. Why does the fine state of Nevada, which still would vote for Bush, have legalized sex?

3. Believe me, very very very few people in Asia feel sex is dirty like our friends Robertson, Falwell and Bush. It's natural, it's nice. I don't believe this change is coming from within Vietnam.
