Just give us the feckin money - so we can spend it on prostitutes.

I think if they were near starving I'd be a bit worried about doing that anyway.

Do a poll on the forum female member for "how many were still a virgin at 16" and see the results

I never knew that. 14 in Germany. Ewww!

Unfortunately there are a number of things wrong here.

1. The Prostitutes are believed to be underage. The pictures of the Aid workers make them more NLyUK's age.

2. Whilst prostitution may be the oldest profession most western companies would be very unhappy with staff who set up a whorehouse in a property they paid to rent.

3. These organisations are funded by the public either directly or indirectly (via taxation), they prey on our morality for their funding, their behaviour should be above reproach.

YMMV

With vetran on this one. If you're on a business trip you're represnting your employer and need to act accordingly. Even more so when you work for something like a charity....

Makes you wonder mind how often this has happened in the past.

My mileage on the first is much the same as yours, depending on the ages involved.

But the second, although probably correct from the companies' practical policy standpoint, doesn't merit any of the moral outrage these carry ons have provoked and so is irrelevant.

And I don't agree with the third either: As long as they're doing their jobs, why should anyone worry what they do in their leisure time, with (presumably) their own money, especially as they are also helping these prostitutes by paying them?

If we were paying monks to stay celibate and sing masses for our salvation each day then, fair enough, it would be disappointing if they started running a whorehouse employing their acolytes and the nuns down the road. But aid workers are not saints.

so you hire a taxi driver to drive your drunk teenage daughter home and he slips her a length on the way home while she is incapacitated? He did turn the clock off so its all fine !!

They are in loco parentis they should behave that way.

They may not be monks but they are funded to do good.

Not really a direct comparison though is it?

They are in loco parentis they should behave that way.

Even in their spare time?

In the context of the Haitian Prostitution trade, "doing good" is a relative term.

[TestMangler]

So when BarryDidIt used to go on the pull in the seedier parts of Huddersfield, and his fave chat up line was "Aye Oop Loov, Aye works for HBOS".....that was wrong ??

I thought it was a good comparison you trust the taxi driver to behave himself, he doesn't and takes advantage of someone who is helpless - is that good?

Its about trust, especially with underage kids. That is 24*7. If you add economic deprivation to the mix its even more disgusting. Am I the only one who finds the "how are you going to pay the bill love???? porn a bit unpleasant?" Being forced into using sexual favours to survive because you don't have enough money for food & shelter is not really something we should see as acceptable.

Of course that is wholly unacceptable, but I was making the point that for people working away from home for extended periods the routine utilisation of prostitution is hardly the crime that some are presenting it to be.

It appears that there has been a fair amount of activity that is wholly unacceptable by any standards and that needs to be addressed and stamped out, but the scale of the witch hunt that is unfolding seems to be a little over the top to me.

If we hold onto the expectation that our Aid Workers are all likely to be whiter than white at all times then we are going to struggle to recruit any in future.

It is hugely hypocritical of our Political and Church leaders to be pouring fuel onto the fire given their chequered histories too.

I don't believe that anyone has disagreed with that. I certainly haven't.

No, you are not the only one. Not sure why you'd believe that you were?

Agreed.
