These 'researchers' have done what a lot of so called academics do: find all the research you can that supports your position and ignore the rest. I studied statistics in college and I remember a professor who said that you can find data to support any position you want.

The biggest flaw in their argument is that there is an assumption that if you make something illegal it will go away. Never worked with alcohol. Pot or prostitution. If people want something all you can do is tax it and regulate it.

My personal situation has changed placing me further from rt 95 from MA to Ri.

Looks like Pawtucket is at its last stand.

Been to FE, P.S. Prior to all the dramatic changes in RI.

I really enjoyed the TS / bodywork received at the RI AMPs. Knew the FS from HE type places. There was variety and choices.

As a masshole all I can sense is it still worth the effort to go to RI? If I go seems like I have to park my car quite a bits way?

The level of service I would be happy w / o FS but how much longer will it be worth it for anyone?

Of course there aren't going to be as many online reviews when there weren't as many people online to post reviews. I would bet you $1000 there's a similar increase in the rate of restaurant reviews in RI over the same span of yuears, does that mean people went out to eat (or ate that much more) during those same years?

She may think she has noble goals but if this report is any indication Hughes is a bullshit academic.

Exactly right. To make her point, all she would have to do is compare growth in online reviews in RI to online reviews in another state that didn't have a legal loophole. The fact that she didn't means that either she doesn't understand statistics or that the data doesn't support her point so she leaves it out. Either way, shoddy scholarship. But we already knew that she's a crusader more than an academic. Her conclusions were decided before the data was gathered.

Thanks; that's what I thought.

And I really loved those shorts that Yoko and Cece wore.

I do prefer the skimpy outfits. I guess the law is the law, at least in some establishments. The lady I saw at Pleasant Street was dressed in a skimpy negligee thing.

If you like Chinese food, the absolute best place is The Red Bowl Noodle Shop, 50-52 Main Street in Flushing. 5 stars in everything they serve. Always busy it seems, but top-notch food with a ginormous menu, and generous portions, all moderately priced.

Get out of Flushing for a motel. Try the Crown Motor Inn, 7401 Queens Blvd in Elmhurst. Parking right at the Inn. Decent rates, and you can rent for 4 hours minimum if you want. Run by friendly Latino people; place is clean; and you can get a room with a HUGE Jacuzzi, which you and your lady friend will enjoy, and will set the mood!

I can't offer an AMP however, but there's plenty nearby. I suggest the forums for locations.

I've thought about a road trip to Flushing, then I was thinking, the girls all go there for their bacation also where they live not for more work. I've checked BP a while ago to see about spas there and I wasn't impressed. Maybe if I dug a little deeper I could come up with more information to convince me otherwise.

I'm sure we could put together a few guys for the trip.

Maybe true, but I don't want to hear it, and it's not a good point to argue IMO. A person who is against spa's isn't going to say, "oh, that's a good outlet for the rapists", "we'll let the spa's stay open".

Good point.

There may be some sound data in that report, but one of the very first conclusions she bases her whole arguyment on is completely bogus and makes a rookie mistake of confusing a correlation with a cause.

A number of PM's to me have been very favorable about Opulance. Techs are young, beautiful and have become accommodating. May be worth a visit. They sure look good on BP every day.
