Brothels in Thailand ?
The real brothels are only for Thai or Chinese. They will not allow a farang (= foreigner) to enter the place - unless you have a Thai friend who will arrange it.
But in Thailand are many beerbars and GoGoBars as well as Freelancer´s which would like to serve you. The prices are completely differ from Bangkok to Pattaya. Here I will give you the prices of Pattaya (Bangkok around the double price - some places even more) - all prices in Baht :
Kind / barfine / Short Time price / Long Time price (Night)
Freelancer : 0 / 500-700 / 1000-1200
Beerbars : 300-400 / 600-800 / 1000-1300
GoGo´s : 600-700 / 1200-1700 / 2000-3000

Bangkok has many Gogo bars these are mostly located in areas like Patpong, Nana plaza and Soi cowboy. These bars feature girls dancing on stage in Bakinis. Officially prostitution is illegal in Thailand. They get around it by offering a barfine system. You pay so much to get the girl out of the bar. This price rages between 500-600 baht. You are also expected to pay between 1500- 2500 baht to the lady. The barfine is ment to cover the loss of income suffered by the bar because of losing one of its employees. Generaly you can get between an hour to overnight with the girl. This is usually nogotiated in the bar.
Most of these bars have a Mama sams an older ex working lady who works with the ladies. She can help nogotiate the deal. If you have any special requests like a threesome with two bi ladies you can make your request known to the mama sams.
Not all hotels will allow you to take a girl back to your room. That's why there are short time hotels that allow you to rent by the hour. There's one such place in Nana plaza. They also sell condoms and lubricants in these places.
There are also numerous open air beer bars that have female staff who are will to go with clients for the night. These bars have all kinds of games like Janga to keep the patrons busy and too entice them to barfine a staff member. Bargirls are not as good looking as gogo girls. These kinds of bars are popular in places like Patong beach in Phuket or Chawang beach and Lamai beach on Kho Samui. If you see a waitress you like its best to tell her you like her and nogotiate a price. You have to be brave a lot of the best looking girls get snapped up fast.
Massage parlours also offer all kinds of sinfull pleasures. If you walk around Kho San road. There are tons of Tuk Tuk drivers offering great massage offeres. They usually have pictures featuring a Japanese man sitting in a hot tub with two beautiful ladies. The best massage parlous never pay a tuk tuk driver a commision to bring customers in.
Typically the massage consists of a good old fashioned scrub up in the tub . Then the girls gets her body all lathered up in soap
and slides up and down on you. The rest I'll leave up to your imagination. Its quite good. This will usually set you back between 2000 -3000 baht.
Pattaya has a great street called walking street. This place is well worth visiting. While HIV does exist in the kingdom in recent years it has slowed largly due to a 100% condom use by foreign customers. Don't even think about going bare back.
The Kingdom also has lots of Transgenders. These are refered to as Katoeys by the locals. Katoeys are rarely employed by the bars. There are a handful of all Katoey bars in Bangkok Pattaya
and Phuket area. One of the infamous ones is a bar called Casanova's on the third floor of Nana plaza.
Lady boys tend to work the streets as freelancers. Many of them are also pickpockets as well. Its best to keep your eyes peeled for pickpockets at the entrance of the Nana Plaza entertainment complex.
All the girls working in the bars are required to carry an I.D. card.
This card confirms their age and medical status. You should always check to see if the girl working has a valid card before taking her out of the bar. Your hotel will ask her to surrender her card at the front desk. This will help to prevent theft to the client. In the morning she can pick up her card. You should leave are your personal belongings in the safety deposite box at the front desk when bringing guests into your room.
There is an obvious danger in getting involved with a bargirl in Thailand. Many of them are very charming. They can also be quite cunning and manipulative. Avoid keeping in contact with the girls after your stay. Never believe their sob stories or send them
large amounts of cash to help family members. Don't believe them when they tell yoy that they intend to get out of the sex trade
and don't send them money . The odds are they have several offer gullible men all roped into the same scam

Okay, I love lady gaga as much as the next guy, but in the shot at a german tv show. She must have had a midnight romance with kermit the frog. Kermit the frog was the next big thing at the runaways in Paris and she wanted to get to the head of the crowd. filling the department stores. wanted to have first dibs. had a dream.
katy perry looks like she had an accident with a sowing machine and didn't feel like changing into anything else. Hopefully, this isn't the only outfit she had in her closet.
either whoopi goldberg thinks she is glenda the good witch or she suddenly had an epiphany that she was Cinderella's fairy godmother in a past life. It's up to the viewer to decide.
Submission Guidelines
1. All content must be created by you. No exceptions. If your content has been published elsewhere, make sure you still own the copyright to it and the byline matches your real name or byline on your AC account. Refer to the Master License Agreement for more information.
2. All content should provide enough in-depth information to satisfy the average person interested in the topic. In general, we recommend keeping articles between 300 and 500 words in length.
3. Content must exhibit correct grammar, sentence structure, spelling and punctuation and follow our formatting guidelines (see below).
4. Associated Content does not allow keyword-stuffing. While AC encourages Contributors to optimize content for search-engine discovery, content must meet a quality threshold and provide a positive experience for AC's audience. Examples of keyword-stuffing include repeating a keyword phrase in a title, repeating keyword phrases too close together or using keyword phrases in a manner that creates an awkward read. If it's determined that content, even after it's published, does not meet AC's policy, it can be removed from the site and/or returned to the author for edits.
5. Associated Content will not pay upfront for or publish cookie-cutter content — articles that are virtually the same as previous submissions, but have one or two words changed throughout. This essentially is duplicate content. Search engines may interpret it as such and this may damage the search result rankings of all of these relatively identical articles. Associated Content does not consider this to be original content and submitting this type of content may result in the closure of your account.
6. Use a strong, descriptive headline with each submission. Think: What words or phrases would a web user enter to find the content via search? While a headline "The Best Day of My Life" might be true, "Getting Married in Fiji" would be a more discoverable headline. Click here for more advice on Creating Headlines.
7. While we encourage you to promote yourself and your business or services, please no excessive self-promotion or brand promotion. We don't want to publish infomercials. Also, do not include an "about the author" or other promotional plugs that are unrelated to the content.

9. It is not appropriate to publish content criticizing Associated Content's policies, staff members or other Contributors. Suggestions and complaints should be emailed to community@associatedcontent.com. You can also use the Forum to discuss any aspect of Associated Content with other Contributors.
10.Content shall not be related to, be about or contain links to websites with content related to programs offering incentives to click links or ads, read emails, or surf other websites. This would include, for instance, autosurf sites, pay-to-read email networks and sites comparing various pay-to-click programs. Content containing affiliate links - hyperlinks used for the sole purpose of marketing a product, business or organization from which you or an affiliated party receive compensation - will be removed from our system.
11. Content shall not promote or link to online gambling sites.
12. Content shall not promote the sale of term papers or student essays in any way, including but not limited to linking to websites that sell term papers, offer term papers for sale, and writing about strategies to buy or sell term papers.
13. We encourage you to link to your other AC content within your text and multimedia text descriptions. However, we do not allow excessive links (i.e., content irrelevant to the topic at hand; an inordinate amount of hyperlinks that distract readers). Links to external sites must be relevant to the content and must not lead readers to any content mentioned under guideline No. 8. Please use the hyperlink tool in our text editor to link a word or phrase from your text to the website address (URL). Affiliate links are not allowed.
14. You must cite all sources that were used in creating your content. Whether you refer to a statistic from a government website or quote someone after a press conference, attribution must immediately precede or follow within the content. (All content must be original, too. You can use other sources for facts and information, but you may not simply rewrite published content.)
Examples:
In a new study published in the journal Epidemiologic Reviews, scientists find that the obesity level in the United States continues to climb. At this rate, by the year 2015, 75% of American adults will be overweight and 41% will be obese.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission reports that in 2006, of the nearly 140,000 licensed bear hunters, 3,122 bears were harvested and taken to check stations.
According to Computer Economics, only 1.8% of corporate revenues will be used to fund IT expenses this year in North America (U.S. and Canada).
"I think what you are going to see is us working very closely with the local CBS affiliates in all the Mountain West markets to help promote and enhance the profile of the conference and the network," Chris Bevilacqua said at the press conference.
In addition, include a list of sources at the end of your content using this format:
Author/Artist - Name(s) of the person(s) who created or wrote the piece.

The Israeli response has been to use targeted killings.[23][24] Targeted individuals are killed, though there are often non-combatant casualties as well.[citation needed
Pictured above is the emblem of Islamic Jihad. In the center, on a background of the Dome of the Rock, the map of greater Palestine is represented flanked by assault rifles. Above it and between the rifles appears the inscription Allah huAkbar [“Allah is Great,” the famous Islamic battle cry and usually the last words of a suicide bomber]. It is an excellent example of the radical Islamic religious message promulgated by the organization, whose goals are the destruction of the State of Israel (which they refer to as “the full liberation of the Palestinian lands”) by means of an armed and uncompromising jihad (holy war) and the establishment of a religious Islamic Palestinian state in its place.

Ayn Rand's Death and the fall of Objectivism
Fuck Ayn Rand, If she was so great, then the world would be different and people would think more logically. But, most humans do not use rationality in their everyday lives. As a result, today we have more wars, military coups, political instability and more senseless violence than ever. I doubt reading Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" or any of her other writings will help the world in its current state of peril. Fuck you, Ayn Rand. I hope your rotting in your grave. I should take a piss on your tombstone.

Israel and Palestine POSC 470 Term Paper
Earlier in this chapter, we discussed the history of the over the sacred space of Jeraselum. The region of Israel and Palestine is home to one of the most contentious religious conflicts in the world today. In the aftermath of World War I., Erupean colonialism came to a region that had previously been controlled and fought over by the Jews, Romans, Christians, Muslims, and Ottomans. A newly formed League of Nations( a precursor to the United Nations) recognized British control of the land, calling the terrortitorial mandate Palestine. At that point, the vast majority of people living in the land were Muslim Palestinians. The goal of the British government was to meet Zionist goals and to create, in Palestine, a national homeland for the Jewish people (who had already begun to migrate to the area). The British exp0licitly assured the world that the religious and civil rigths of exisitng non Jewsih peoples in Palestine would be protected. THe British policy did not produce a peaceful result, however. Civl disturbances erupted almost immediatley, and by 1947-1948, Jews and Palestinians engaged in open warfare. In the wake of World War II and the Holocaust, many more Jews moved to the region. Shortly after the war, the British mandate ended, and the newly formed United Nations voted to partition Palestine creating independent Israeli and Palestinian states. From the drawing of the first map, the partitioning plan was set for failure. Palestinians and Israelis were to live in noncontigous states. Surroudning Arab states reacted violently against the new Jewish state. Israel survived through numerous wars in which Palestinians lost their lands, farms, and villages. As a consequence of war and the consolidaition of the Israeli state, Palestinians migrated or fled to refugee camps in neighboring Arab states. In the 1967 Arab-Isralie War, Israel gained control of the Palestinian lands in Gaza, the West Bank, and the Golan Heights. The international commnuity calls these lands Occupied Territories. The Jewish presence in Gaza has always been small. But over the last three decades, the Israelis built Jewish housing settlements throughout the West Bank and have expanded the city of Jerasleum eastward into the West Bank(razing Palestininian houses along the way) to gain more control of territory. The Israeli govenrement severely restricts new building by Palestinians, even on lands in the Palestinian zones of the West Bank. Events in the early and mid 1990s began to change this religious poltical mosaic as self-government was awarded to Gaza and to small areas inside the West Bank. Palestrinian Arabs were empowered to run their own affairs within these zones. Stability and satisfactory coexistence could lead to further adjustments, some thought and eventually a full fledged Palestinian state. In 1995, the parties hammered out a peace accord that would have createda substantial Palestinian state. In 2000, Palestine rejected the peace terms and the Oslo framework, which many saw as the best chance for peace in the region. In Septmeber 2005, the Israeli govenrment shifted its policy toward the Gaza Strip. Israel evcauated the settlements that had been built there, burned down the buildings that remained, and then granted autonomy to Gaza. The Palestinians living inthe Gaza Strip rejoiced, visiting the beaches that were previously open only to Israeli settlers and traveling across the border into Egypt to purchase goods. Within days, the border with Israel was closed, making it impossible for many Palestinians to travel to their palces of work in Israel. The border with Egypt was closed as well. Although Palestinians now have greater freedom within the Gaza Strip, they are economically isolated and the standard of living has dropped. The Israeli govenrment tighltly controls the flow of Palestinians and goods into and out of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Gaza is surrounded by fences, and in some places a wall, with land mines in certain areas and dust road to show footprints. Most controversially, however, the Israelis have set about constructing a security fence in the West Bank, which does not follow the 1947 West Bank border but dips into the West Bank to include some of the larger Israeli Settlements on Israel's side of the fence. This may greatly complicate any future territorial settlement, and some Israelis are opposed to it. But many others argue that Palestinians continue to fight the war agaisnt the Israelis, with terrorism. Palestinian attacks agasint Israelis threaten the everyday lives of the Israeli people; no bus, coffee shop, restaurant, or sidewalk is safe from the threat of terrorist attack. Similarly, in the aftermath of a terrorist attack, the Israeli military hunts the suspects, shedding blood in Palestinian neighborhoods. The situation in Israel and Palestine today does not reflect a simple interfaith boundary. The tiny region has a multittude of interfaiht boundaries especially in the West Bank. The settlements in the West Bank have prodcued many miles of interfaith boundaries within a small political territory. The Economist recently summed up the prospects for peace in the region, saying that despite some signs that violence by both sides is abating, "there is not a flicker of hope, in the short run, that even a turce is in the offering." At the same time that Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip, the govenrment was erecting a new security fence in the West Bank and was building new Israeli housing in the West Bank. In 2005, The Economist explained that an Israeli human rigths group, B'Tselem, believes the new security fence will "still separate many Palestinians( from their farmland and cut deep into the West Bank around the main Israeli settlements, in effect joining them to Israel proper while nearly divising any future Palestinian state into enclaves. The conflictover the small territory of the Holy Land is amplified by the sentiment of both Israelis and Palestinians that they have a historic( in the minds of some, even a divine) right to the land; by the violence inflicted on each other by both sides; and by, the belief and emotional conviction by both parties that the territory belongs to them." Islamic fundametalists and extremists who have resorted to violence in pursuit of their cause( thereby becoming extremists) are relatively small in number. Yet one of the critical contemporary issues is the extent to which they can or will attract widespread support throughtout the Islamic world. The potential for such support is greatest among those who feel that they are the losers in the contemporary global economic order and who feel their cultures and traditions are fundamentally threatened. By extension, a key to avoiding the division of the world into mutually antagonistic religious realms is to promote an atmosphere in which such feelings do not become widespread. This, in turn, suggests the importance of non-Islamic cultures conveying an understanding of the gap between manistream and fundamentalist Islam, and supporting the economic and political efforts of genuinely democratic forces in Islamic countries.
