Sidster,
So you're suggesting that Nepal turn into a place for "under-ground" dealings because we aren't competitive enough for "over-ground" interaction?
It was this type of thinking that led Afghanistan from the opium trade into the hands of Taliban and attracted Al Qaeda to it. Is that the model we want to emulate?
The issue for me is not really about Gay Marriage. I actually don't have a problem expressing their sexuality the way they please. The issue I have more of is being played into other people's agenda because we Nepalese are not strong enough or organized enough to create our own agenda on our terms.
I am for organized tourism on Nepal's terms and in Nepal's long term interests. But what I am not for is turning Nepal into a place that supports every vice on the planet that is banned in more developed nations. And that may be drugs, gambling, prostitution or whatever. Over time, these elements attracts thugs and other unwanted elements that I find very hard to believe would be in the long term health for supporting strong family values.
And Nepal may not have a lot of wealth in terms of money. But I feel most Nepalese have traditionally taken a lot of pride in Nepal having strong family values and culture, no?
