[QUOTE=Plymkr;2353553]No way they should be busting people during the Super Bowl.

Whats next![/QUOTE]I read the story. Apparently there was a disagreement about the $ and the fighting spilled into the hallway. To make matters worse, the entire hotel was bought out by the NFL for the week, they had their own security onsite as well as Phoenix police. I think if Mr. Sapp wasn't satisfied with their services, perhaps he should have chalked this one up as a loss. After all, he was there on work and obviously had way more to lose than those escorts.

Reminds me of a funny story. Years ago I too was in the Phoenix / Glendale area on work when I decided to play a bit. The girl robbed me of my cash (with the help of her pimp). I chased after them and the desk clerk asked if there was a problem and should he call the police. I told him no, it was just a misunderstanding and chalked that one up as a loss. I didn't want to risk my job over $$.

This is ugly. Have a look at this: (I have NO assoc with it-in fact, I think THEY are full of crap as well, but the map may be useful to some here):

Notice how skewed it is towards IL? The upside is that this 'sweep' seems to be coming to an end. All the same. Thinking it's time for a. TIME OUT.

(GEEEZ, I just noitced the 'tag line' of that web page: " We're abolishing the illegal commercial sex industry by eradicating demand for purchased sex. ".

WHAT A COMPLETE LOAD OF FERTILIZER. Eradicating Demand? Total propaganda garbage. But thanks for the map telling everyone where NOT to go.).

F.[/QUOTE]Paint with a wider brush, shall we? I'm not a sex offender. I'm not violent. I would never dream of raping or abusing a woman. I am, in fact, a (for the most part) happily married man and father. Quite frankly, the only reason I'm in this hobby is that my wife's sex drive is essentially non-existent, and I'm looking for a basic human connection. I've had open and honest conversations with my wife about what's missing in our relationship multiple times and it just hasn't changed. So here I am.

I would never willingly or knowingly support a business employing women against their will. And either the women I've been around are fantastic actors, or they're doing what they do because they make very good money doing it.

This whole thing is as fruitless as the war on drugs. You can't remove demand for sex. And basic economics says if you remove supply you increase demand. All you do is force things to go further underground. Increasing the likelihood that criminal organizations will be the ones running things. Exactly like drugs. Exactly like prohibition.

It sounds obnoxious to say, but if they really want to remove demand. For me personally, at least. They just need to convince my wife to enthusiastically initiate and participate in sex on a regular basis. I never even considered this whole "hobby" as an option until she closed up shop.

I'm respectful and genuinely care about having a mutual good time and have never had anyone even hint that they did this against their will. I find most of the girls I see want me to come back and had had many regulars. No way these were doing this against their will.

You can bet that's out there but I've never seen it.

You sure you're not married to my wife? LOL.

The Tribune article posts pictures of the hobbyists so I didn't include that link. This happened two days ago. Be safe guys.

Remember, our Cook County fav, Tommy the is behind all of this.

Makes me think that we might see more of an effort by county and villages alike for their campaign against BP. I'm going to be more careful in my meetings in low end motels.

Take note:

"The undercover operation included participation from the Cook County State's Attorney's Office and the Evanston, Skokie, Lincolnwood and Oakbrook Terrace police departments, police said".

-- MULTI city. Not just Cook Cnty anymore. Also, that partic location is NOT a 'doors to the outside' hotel. Def a switch in OPs to go with a place like that (upscale, inside doors and halls).

One of the alleged Johns should file a complaint with the AG's office for false advertising, bait and switch or some other type of consumer fraud. In all seriousness, this sucks. I fully support combating trafficking, but I question the altruism of these latest actions. I suspect other tactics would yield better results.

Hate to say it, but this is one of the huge reasons I stick to AMPs (besides the whole I prefer Asian women thing).

Wish they'd focus their limited resources on actual criminals. It's probably a revenue generator for the county with the fines generated.

Just saying.
