[QUOTE=DetroitBaller;3493870][URL]http://www.fox2detroit.com/news/detroits-most-wanted/271686709-story[/URL][/QUOTE]Holy shit it's terrible the way they're talking to the sex workers. They're doing nothing but shaming these women. Talking down to them like children who don't understand the gravity of their situations. Instead of questioning the circumstances that led to them living a dangerous lifestyle in order to survive and how society might do a better job to fix those circumstances, the Fox reporter tries to make them seem like bad people. They shame the sex workers way more than the Johns.

These ladies can make $200 in a couple of hours. Why would they want to go straight and work for peanuts?

I see the price to get your car back has not gone up since the 90's.

She said, "I can make more in one hour than those girls at Burger King make all day. " And she is not a user. She just doesn't like working.

The constant danger of violence, disease, jail and drug overdoses isn't enough motivation for them to get clean and find a different job. No the problem is that not enough two-bit local news reporters never walked up and called them human garbage. Give me a break, this isn't tough love. The reporter doesn't "love" them. He hates them and thinks they're a scourge on the city.

Two members of my extended family tried crack ages ago; the results were devastating. One committed a felony while high and served time, but recovered and got his life back; the other didn't. She's old enough to collect Social Security and is still attempting to finagle money from family to pay for her habit.
The opioid addiction epidemic is real and spreading. I think most of us know someone affected.

Really. At a kohl's? You'd think there's enough fun to be had elsewhere. Is there some underground scene in this area? The article says it's a recurring problem.

Do you think legalizing this hobby would lower rapes, kidnapping, exposures etc. ? You could charge for a license or permit of some sort (revenue), make them get health check ups. Check for drug use. Charge income tax etc. It's a win win.

It's not just about protecting a hobby, it's about privacy rights and safe communities. In Canada, a much more above ground, open and free communication, in particular online, facilitates a much safer, cleaner and more protected environment for sex workers and everyone involved. And tends to expose trafficking because people communicate when they see it and aren't afraid to report it. Open communication enlightens and informs, no communication drives everyone into ignorance and darkness. Yet our lawmakers still think stupid ideas like this will provide better outcomes.
