Really?
Why does the U.S. Government feel the need to spend money on studying and educating prostitutes in Asia? (Remember, I prefer the professional term whore). It all started with the U.S. paying $2.6 Million to train Chinese Prostitutes to drink responsibly on the job.
I mean, really?
Well, now it turns out our Government is spending $178,000 to better understand why drug-abusing prostitutes in Thailand are at greater risk for HIV infection.
Again, I mean, REALLY?
Researchers plan to interview 60 sex workers — 36 women and 24 kathoey — to understand the factors that make the prostitutes susceptible to HIV, including economic pressure, sex-change operations, their heavy use of drugs and a Buddhist fatalism that keeps them feeling resigned to their fate.
The NIH funds many studies that focus on HIV risk and prevention in hopes that it can lay the vital groundwork for developing treatment and intervention plans to thwart the deadly AIDS virus.
“and a Buddhist fatalism that keeps them feeling resigned to their fate”
Oh, maybe that is why they get HIV. They just accept that it will happen, therefor it does.
Not having any exposure to the whole whore lifestyle, I’m going to go out on a small limb and say there are two huge factors – UNPROTECTED SEX and drug use. Ya know that whole dirty needle thing… What about these two things need to be student?
Anyway, it finally sounds like someone is questioning why the money is being spent… on such things… outside of the U.S.
But government watchdogs are having a hard time understanding why American tax dollars should go to study the sexual habits of prostitutes halfway around the world.
“This really is a complete waste of money and should not be funded by the taxpayer,” said David Williams, vice president for policy at Citizens Against Government Waste, which tracks wasteful spending in the federal budget.
Damn right, David! Why are we wasting the money?
