Defeating Temptations
Temptation cannot be defeated by denying its delights
but rather by displacing it with something more delightful.

Dear Espion,
Read your comments of cyneekil's blog. And am curious as to who you are. Funny you should put it that way. Decadent liberal West? I guess people are just always looking for scapegoats to blame. In the 19th century when UK began to outlaw homosexual acts, the English had blamed homosexuality as a decadent FOREIGN culture. The English blamed it on the French/Normans, who blamed it on the Romans and Greeks, who blamed it on Asian influences like India and China.
Apparently everyone was living in delusion thinking that there is no native gay people in their own country.
Before colonial powers swept across Asia, there were indeed no law that criminalise homosexual acts. In Malaysia, law against sodomy is a remnant of our colonial past. In Asian countries that are not previously colonised, there remained no such law.
Therefore it is very funny indeed to hear that now Asians are blaming the decadent West for the emergence of homosexual culture. Hmm...why not thank them for their harsh law against homosexuals instead?
Espion, you does seem like you are still highly misinformed about various issues concerning the LGBT community. First of all, transvestism and homosexuality are two different matters all together.
Of course, now that some countries in the West had finally given their LGBT citizen their legitimate right, it is only too convenient for homophobic people to blame the West for the disintergration of conservative Asian values. Its true you know, that the gays have their despicable gay agenda in mind. They want to get married, they want legal protection for their spouses, they demand equal visitation rights, they want protection from taxation and inheritance law... , those are SO against the values of the heterosexual world that they threaten the foundation of good traditional family.
And it is also against traditional, conservative, family-orientated Asian values to accord this basic human rights to the shameful gay people, and this should never be the norm in the East.
Let the gay people in the West continue to rot in decadence. We should continue to let our "Asian" local, traditional, religious and cultural factors to continue to push gay people into shame, silence and isolation. Ooh, by the way, which "Asian" religion and "Asian" law are you talking about?
Have a good day.
with regards
I suppose my attempts at sarcasm didnt come across. Reread what I wrote with a sacastic tone and does it now make sense?
