.....actually according to the 2002 CIA Factbook, there is a higher incindence of AIDS cases in Orange County (the LA area), then there is in Bangkok, Thailand. You would really be surprised at how crappy the US medical system looks when you compare it to the Asian systems.....by the way, the difference between a "high maintenance" American girl and an Asian "bar girl" is that the bar girl knows the risks and protects herself through both the use of condoms and through weekly health screenings and the high maintenance American girl thinks she is too classy to ever catch a disease....nuff said.
