Irrespective of your good deeds, I cannot understand why you feel the need to convert them to your own particular sky-bully. As you know Thais are overwhelmingly Buddhist. I'm agnostic, but Buddhism deserves respect.

BTW I count many bar girls as friends. It isn't all the doom and gloom that you seem to imply.

To a point I respect your aims, but with the exception of trying to Jesusify them. That is plain wrong.

Dear The8416 - Trade as One sources its products from many different producers. One of them is NightLight and we have the utmost respect for the work of Jeff and Annie Dieselberg. Our role is to sell as many products in America as possible in order to create sustainable jobs for some of the most disadvantaged and abused people in the world. If the girls want to leave the bars to make jewelry then someone has to have the guts to live amongst them, deal with their pain and advocate on their behalf

Yes I acknowledge, respect and understand that, but what I don't understand is the attempt at religious conversion.

I'm an occasional visitor to Soi Na Na Nua. I must admit most of it is too tacky for me, I tend to go down south, however I have never treated the girls with anything other than respect. Yes I have paid for sex, many times, but then who doesn't, in one way or another?

Where I agree with you 100% is when guys treat the ladies with disrespect. That is unacceptable in any society.
