Stupid Shit in NoVa

[QUOTE=FloorHump422;5263819]Wrong. The definition of terrorism you're using, which various outlets have agreed is difficult to define is: "the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion". Notice the "especially"? The important part is not that terror was used to coerce an individual / group, but rather, that terror was used in a systematic way. Whether the perpetrator intended to cause people indirectly involved with this attack distress is relevant, as it is well documented that that was the result. Even if you want to fixate on coercion, his intention was to COERCE the women working at those spas into no longer tempting him.[/QUOTE]So Harvey Weinstein is a terrorists?

[QUOTE=AdcFellow;5264624]You are correct that not all mongers get their mugshots posted. I would guess on average, the local news run two "prostitution arrests" stories each year where they post photos as a way to deter people. The bigger issue is that if you are ever arrested (even if not convicted), your names comes up on future google searches with the prostitution charges for your future employers, your spouse, your kids, your neighbors, etc to see.

Sorry to be a negative Nelly, but I think it is important to remember what is at risk with this hobby and take the necessary precautions.[/QUOTE]What bothers me the most is the charge "frequenting a bawdy place. " That sounds like a joke. But it isn't. How are you supposed to know that a MP is not legit without going inside?

[QUOTE=Barkeater;5262922]So you say "why can't I call it the China virus, that's where it comes from" but then you say you think China caused the virus and needs to pay for it. I see you are following your leaders playbook. Say all kinds of racist crap and when you get called on it deny everything and say "who, me?

And what, I'm being PC because I don't hate the Chinese? OK, I'm guilty, I don't hate all Chinese people. I guess that for you being PC is a bad thing, because its better to just be hateful and angry and blame everybody else for your problems.[/QUOTE]Covid 19 came out of the wet market in Wuhan where they routinely slaughter wild and domestic animals on the same blocks which has caused several avian flu's to emerge from China. The below article is from 2006 and was published by the National Institute of Health. It's not effected by corona hype, it was literally predicting what happened last year.

To put it in another way, if you have an unfenced ground level swimming pool in your back yard and people keep drowning in it because it's unfenced at what point do you become responsible for those deaths? China was clearly aware of the hazard posed by the wet markets, in this instance they had been warned of the covid 19 threat by a doctor who was subsequently jailed and then most likely killed, they didn't prevent the mass exodus that happens every year with Chinese New Year knowing about the danger posed.

I'm a lifelong lefty so I'm not following the MAGA guy, at what point do you say, "yeah China was clearly negligent as a government and needs to pay?" I don't hate Chinese people either so this isn't racist crap, they knew about the hazard and did nothing to mitigate it, in fact they still aren't, those wet markets are still open, still doing business in exactly the same way. So yeah, it's the Chinese Virus and they probably need to pay for it.

At this point, it is safe to say that we can add the name "Chinese virus" to the heaping trash fire of failed attempts of the right wing to influence American culture and the mainstream, LOL.

The media is going crazy with the idea that all AMP workers are virtually prisoners working in sweatshop conditions. That may be true in some places but I have never seen this in NoVa. Instead I see many AMP masseuses driving Lexus, BMWs, Range Rovers, etc, Many end up buying spas or legit businesses. Before the pandemic, business was booming in Nova. AMPs allow women without legit business skills to easily make a 6 figure income. They can make as much in 1 hour as a retail or clerical worker makes in a day. I like to see the media report this reality. On the flip side, this all gets financed by the excessive fees paid by mongers for frequently subpar service by 50 year old women. For some of you, that's atleast thousands of dollars a year or more. Who is exploiting whom?

[QUOTE]Caitlin Dulany, another plaintiff in the case, didnt mince words. Harvey Weinstein terrorized and attacked women for decades. The fact that he could hurt so many women, over such a long period of time, is horrific. Its the stuff of nightmares, and we lived it. We were assaulted, terrified, coerced, and hurt by this man[/QUOTE][URL]https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/07/settlement-in-weinstein-case-but-closure-elusive-for-some[/URL]

Yes the Spanish Flu should be the Kansas Flu.

I didn't ignore anything, I don't see the forum as you do, I see it from my admin panel which doesn't show all the posts.

I see you conveniently ignored all the facts about the origination of this virus.

Have a nice weekend.

What's the point of posting recommended providers if you aren't posting their links, services and damages? It seems like a recent trend to post amazing reviews without providing the most important details; links, cost and services rendered. Reviews are useless without pertinent information.

Phone numbers and emails yeah, but links are ok. But if you ask for a link you get the ol' "RTFF" reply and you're just like "well fuck me, I guess, cool" LOL.

[QUOTE=Sexingit;5282448]Perhaps people are avoiding details to make their post count jump? Detailed posts about services are pointless without mentioning the cost and services rendered.[/QUOTE]I agree wholeheartedly about having pertinent info like costs & services--as well as the link--included in reviews. But as far as the post count, I doubt the average user really cares that.

And if they do, they're being foolish. It's not like there's a grand prize once you reach 500, or 1000, or however many posts. Granted, you're more likely to trust a senior's information who's got 1000 prior posts over a dude with 3. But to intentionally withhold information just for the chance to field more questions? That'd be plain silly.

It's more likely that they forgot to include it in their haste to post the info. I've been guilty of that a couple times myself.

I understand if it's one person but it's consecutive posts from several different users that happen to miss vital info. I've forgotten things as well but I just edit instead of completely leaving it out.
