A2[/blue][/QUOTE]Leave it to Fox to sensationalize a story like this to the limit.

Mr. Dart, we all know you (or one of your hired flunkies) are reading this, so here's a suggestion:

ASK THE LEGISLATURE TO LEGALIZE PROSTITUTION!

These robbers knew the women they robbed wouldn't go to the cops because they couldn't. Make prostitution legal, and prostitutes would be able to report robberies, rapes, assaults, traffiking and all the other things they can suffer, or that too at # obvious for you to figure out? Or is it that you can get tons of cheap PR by being so public in your 'shock' over BP?

How do you expect the greedy politicians to collect the "user tax" on pussy if we pay with cash?

[URL]http://ow.ly/Q4lMO[/URL].[/QUOTE]Unfortunately, you will notice that the judge doesn't demand that Dart withdraw the letters, nor does it ask any of the credit card companies to reconsider their decision based on the illegality of Dart's actions. Until they decide they can do business with BP, and not take public heat for it, they'll stay away, bet on it.

[QUOTE=RyanBeer;2557515]Sooner or later Dart will figure out hes just spinning his wheels.[/QUOTE]The war on drugs is like 30 years old and all it did was crowd jails. It's not about results it's about the appearance of results.

[QUOTE=RyanBeer;2558144]And how long was prohibition? We don't have bootleggers anymore because they made alcohol legal. If they made prostitution legal they would eventually put the human traffickers out of business too.[/QUOTE]While I think making prostitution legal would make life better for both the providers and us customers, I'm not so sure it would wipe out human trafficking. I think we both are honest enough to admit that some people like women who are 'out of bounds', people who are willing to take the risk and pay the money to get what they want. As long as they exist, there will be those who will satisfy their demands, and children who will suffer as a consequence.

I have a feeling that TDart will get busted himself for some sex crime eventually. The guy has a serious hard on for prostitutes. Just like the serious homo phobic politicians who eventually get busted having gay sex. This Dart is operating in his own little world. He's in charge of the most violent county in America and all that falls to the back burner if there's some hoes working in a motel somewhere. He should be ashamed of himself and hes on the wrong side of history on this one.

Every day I watch the news and they report of another shooting where an innocent child or adult is killed by gunfire. Yet this clown is wasting the resources paid by us- instead focusing on this bs. Obviously what they're doing to prevent these shootings isn't working- probably best to put more resources into stopping or reducing it.

Also, there's a freakin' lion on the loose- last seen in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I'd be more happy if they sent up some guys to hunt and shoot that thing- even if it's in the next state so it doesn't hurt or kill anybody than to hear about another stupid backpage sting. He has his priorities mixed up and it's very frustrating. Every time I see the news I just shake my head. I feel terrible for the families and friends who lost their loved ones because of this violence.

Remember though, this is all about control. You know, I know, and they ALL know, that the majority of women on BP and CL are there of their own accord. And NO they.

(the women) for the most part are NOT being taken advantage of. In fact if they are smart, they can earn way more than most men can earn per day. Now of course.

If they have bad habits, just like anyone else, they will blow that money. But the reality is that the gov is cracking down on all small and independent businesses so they.

Can have better accounting controls implemented in order to prevent tax revenue from slipping through their greedy fingers. I mean really, these women are getting paid.

For their services just as any other job. The ones that have greater skills will get a larger following and can demand higher prices. This is capitalism at it's basic.

In the meantime, the violence is being ignored, because it is setting the stage for some future police action. Till then the ever expanding PD's all over the country need.

Funds. So as usual, fines, arrests, and the such from, safe and defenseless citizens are the surest means to generate revenue.

Just my $. 02.

[u][b]EDITOR's NOTE[/b][/u]: [blue]This report was published with unnecessary [b][u]HARD[/u] [u]RETURNS[/u][/b] at the end of every line of text, resulting in the text being incorrectly broken up into separate, incomplete sentences.

There is [u]NO[/u] [u]NEED[/u] for any report to be written with [b][u]HARD[/u] [u]RETURNS[/u][/b] at the end of every line of text.

Solution #1: If you are adding these hard returns at the end of every line by using the ENTER key, then please stop doing that. Instead, simply allow the text to "wrap" automatically at the end of each line when typing. The ENTER key is only needed to separate individual paragraphs.

Solution #2: However, if the unnecessary hard returns were the result of you having pasted the text into the forum from another source (such as a news story), then your option is to either edit out the unnecessary hard returns or don't paste the text.

Please do not post reports with unnecessary hard returns in the Forum. [i]Thanks![/i][/blue]

--in 2014 it was over a two span in August. In 2015, it seems as though it was 2-3 in Feb. Can't these boneheads pick an annual DAY--that IS the title, National DAY, (isn't it?) and stick with it? We could all watch for it and then take a short vacation to Columbus or some other less intrusive place;-o.

[URL]http://www.demandabolition.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Press-Release_NationalSexTraffickingStingrev_Aug6_2014.pdf[/URL]

Among other "stretching the numbers" data there is the following bullet point:

The Cook County Sheriff's Office arrested a john attempting to solicit sex from a bicycle (damn. He must have been really drunk or it must have been a really sexy looking bike! Wonder how he explained that to his wife. "Honey, I was just sniffing the seat. ".

A lot of us talk about how much better things would be (for us and the women we see) if providing was made legal.

Well, it seems Amnesty International thinks so too. Will this petition cause The Powers That Be to reconsider their current 'crack-down' mentality? If nothing else, it would be a good way for people to express their support for the idea (besides, can you imagine the stroke such a move would give Tom Dart).
