Those are just about my favorite things on TV. Wonderful tongue in cheek humor. Hell, I'd do him myself in a second. He's hot.

Canadian Teen Girls Charged With Human Trafficking

"Two Canadian teenage girls have been charged with human trafficking for using social media to lure other teen girls to a housing complex and then forcing them into prostitution. A third teenager involved in the alleged pimping is still at large. . . "

Former foe of gay marriage in California now favors unions
http://news.yahoo.com/former-foe-gay...005846455.html
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A key witness for lawyers seeking to defend California's ban on same-sex marriage in federal court in 2010 has changed his view on the subject, and pronounced his support for giving gay unions social recognition.
David Blankenhorn, founder of the Institute for American Values think tank, wrote in an opinion piece for the New York Times he now believes the time for "denigrating or stigmatizing same-sex relationships is over." . . .


Polygamy, Group Marriage. Pleural Marriage. The next barrier to break.
Is monogamy natural? An unreal expectation that causes so much sadness.

I am skeptical of the current attempt to cram all prostitution into the human trafficking model. The New York Times has a columnist, Nicholos Kristof, who is on a crusade portraying all teenage prostitution as human trafficking. See http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/19/op...d-for-sex.html

The public sometimes assumes that teenage girls in the sex trade are working freely, without coercion. It’s true that most aren't physically imprisoned by pimps, but threats and violence are routine. The girls typically explain that they didn't try to escape because of a complex web of emotions, including fear of the pimp but also a deluded affection and a measure of Stockholm syndrome.

Once, Brianna says, she looked out her window — and there was her mother on the street, crying and posting “missing” posters with Brianna’s photo. “I tried to shout to her through the window,” she remembered. But her pimp grabbed her by the hair and yanked her back. “If you shout, I’ll kill you,” she remembers him saying.

“If I tried to run, I thought he might kill me, or I’d be hurt,” she said. “And, if I went to the cops, I thought I’d be the one in trouble. I’d go to jail.”

Pimps warn girls to distrust the police, and often they’re right. Bridgette Carr, who runs a human-trafficking clinic at the University of Michigan Law School, tells of a 16-year-old girl who went missing. A family member found a photo of the girl on Backpage and alerted authorities. Police raided the pimp’s motel room and “rescued” the girl — by handcuffing her and detaining her for three weeks.

I don't deny that this exists, but I have cooked for homeless teens and volunteered at a local center for GLBT youth. I have talked to a lot of teenagers who were turning tricks. Many of them were fiercely independent and would become angry at the suggestion they were victims. (true, they told a completely different story to the people they panhandled, but they would laugh about it later; homeless teens don't survive long without becoming accomplished liars.) I know of two cases involving homeless teenage couples (male-female) In both cases both sides of the couple were doing too many drugs, and both were turning tricks. (often pretty boys can make more money than girls) When they were busted, the male was charged with pimping out his partner. I doubt that there are many large high schools, without a few girls (and boys) turning tricks, often collectively. I remember a news item a few years ago about a group of girls at an exclusive Beverly Hills private school, who were busted for running an online escort service. In the Backpage debate there was a study of teenage prostitutes that found only about a third had pimps.

This crusade mirrors one over a hundred years ago Sordid tales were published about the evils of White Slavery and the poor innocent women who were kidnapped and forced into a life of sin and degradation. ( I suspect that these stories (like today's TV reality prison shows) feed the public's taste for closet S&M.) Later studies found that the vast majority of women in that profession found their way there because society provided almost no other way an independent woman could support herself without a man.

Simple solution

Legalize prostitution and make false imprisonment or being with a prostitute under age 18
a more major crime.

Moi
Simplicity has elegance.

[Riverwind]

WHY moi, WHY would you make the oldest profession legal, that would take all the fun out of it, don't forget the tax revenues, plus the right wing Christians would no longer have that to bitch about. Really!

...and the Richest man in the world is a MEXICAN... and STILL the Mexicans leave Mexico, the land of such opportunity to come to America...

...Do you think that America has more to offer?

[Riverwind]

The problem with Mexico is that its a two class system, the rich and the poor, no middle class however that is slowly changing, its changing here as well, were loosing our middle class, hell in another 20 years or so we will be going to Mexico for those good jobs picking strawberry's.

Well, then.

If the Republicans succeed in what they are attempting the fence will have to keep Americans in, not keep Mexicans out...

Well, after the Bush dynasty saw to the wealth transfer from Middle Class Americans in a similar manner as the Spanish oversaw the Mayan wealth transfer to Spain do you think that America will look like Mexico does today after 600 years or so of "TRICKLE DOWN"?

[Riverwind]

It wont take 600 years, less then 60 and were already 30 years in.


As for a fence, wall, what ever, nowhere in the history of man has that ever worked, ever. What makes the republicans think it will work now?

Great wall of China is a whole lot bigger and badder, and it didn't work either.

[moi621]

The American Wall, is not necessarily a solid wall, barrier wall.
With proper electronics engineered into the system it could work.
360 degrees. Coastlines, the 49th and the Mexican border.
Yes! I mean it. NO sarcasm, etc.
Hawaii and Alaska present special problems if unauthorized entry would create easier access to the "48".

Open border or closed. Not this, in between thank you.
