Revision as of 06:10, 5 April 2004 by Oarias (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)The charge that Cuba is encouraging the sex trade is a political one that has no basis in fact, according to sociology professor Nelson Valdes:
Further, by defining sex tourism to include only travel from wealthy to poorer countries, the raging legal sex trade of the US state of Nevada is covered up. --Jose Ramos 21:05, 18 Oct 2003 (UTC)
Excuse me, nobody said in this article that Cuba (or any other country) was encouaging the sex trade; no country would be that stupid. In fact the Cuban government has done much (although with limited success) to try to curtail/discourage sex tourism within its borders.
However, the sex trade *IS* rampant there, I can personally attest to that! <g>
Don't even get me started on that wacko leftist rag that you are quoting as fact! This is not the proper forum to espouse your political agenda. Select a more widely accepted publication, and maybe everyone here won't think you're a crackpot.
Now, as for the "raging" sex trade in Nevada.... Cover up?? Please!
A couple of overpriced brothel "ranches" in the middle of the desert do not qualify as a "raging" sex trade. Only the Donald Trumps and Bill Gates of the world could count Nevada as a sex tourist destination (and it would still be a poor one at that!) Chances are some of those girls in Nevada make more than most of us!
A sex worker in Thailand or Cuba earning $50 a day is doing well!!
Sorry, but when I see stupidity, I must rant...
