Yes..remember for most of the 2500 yr we had one of the greatest cultures in the world..it is only in the last 70 years that corruption set it in with invasion of western forces and their shrewd tactics of dominance..you should be proud of the 2500 years

Dear Leo. You are a daydreamer. Do you think that there was no prostitution in Sri Lanka during the 2500 years? You see only the few good things of the past. What about the ongoing wars between the different kingdoms and rulers in Sri Lanka? In the past, as well as in modern times, only the rich were doing well.

The so-called class representing liberal women who are asking for the right to purchase alcohol are too responsible for prevailing such situations.

World oldest profession ? Is this a crime compared to the bond fraud ? Even Singapore being a Buddhists country this practice is legal . It's high time we get out from this shell. So called Buddhists country has a one of the highest crime rate and of course for boozeing we are rank among the top ten in the world.

If a man wants to pay and get relief so what. Nothing wrong is happening between 2 consulting adults.

Instead of harassing poor women like this why authorities don't consider legalizing prostitution which may definitely minimize family disputes and also raping and killing young girls.
