| OnceDear Member since: Nov 21, 2017 Threads: 11 Posts: 1510 | You guys are too easy. LOL. I was yanking your chains. But seriously... Thanks. It was rhetorical. I knew someone would look it up. $;o)
Sorta is a bit about morality. You and I both object to the morals of the people smugglers, if not the sex slaves. I just pity the girls. Any John risking infection from these sex slaves is a fool to himself, a menace to society and, I agree a big part of the problem.Your authorities can, and seem not to, attack both supply and demand. It just amuses me a little how fox and other right wing media leaps all over the supply problem, because that suits the narrative. Some conflating the Chinese with the South americans. Serious question. Are the chinese usually coming in over your southern border? Or do they fly in on student visas etc? I bow to your superior knowledge $:o) Yeah. Almost certainly. Maybe that could help limit the life expectancy of the John's.
Here in UK, we have illegal immigrant problems too and it's very topical and controversial. Even as a bleeding heart liberal, I see it's unsustainable. I don't conflate it with the quite separated issue of Chinese sex slaves, of which we have our share. Our authorities stomp all over the people trafficing Chinese gangs and brothels and their clients, and quite right too. They also ignore all other prostitution |

| OnceDear Member since: Nov 21, 2017 Threads: 11 Posts: 1510 | Lol. I know. Funny though. I ignore fox, regardless of the truth of their reports, just as I would ignore breitbart, and anything tainted by drumph talking points. Not much of a market for it on my street. No demand, so they'd have to price pretty low. I'd probably hire the cheapest one to cut my lawn All boils down to budgets and resources. Deal with the soliciting after they've cleared the burglary backlog. One day I'll research NY's political policies. I don't claim to understand how it is, how it came to be and how it persists. |

Mainland Chinese come over the border. Until recently, it was very rare to hear the mainland accent. I only heard it once in the past year, and I am often around hundreds of Chinese at a time. Taiwanese illegals tend to be older. They mostly fly here as tourists and never leave. Those Chinese sex slaves are most likely mainland Chinese. 'Chinese migrants are the fastest growing group crossing from Mexico into U.S. at southern border' According to the House Homeland Security Committee, the annual burden of illegals on the US economy is currently $150 billion. |

Based on the particular circumstances, I don’t think it moves the bar one way or the other. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

| SOOPOO Member since: Feb 19, 2014 Threads: 22 Posts: 4178 | Mayor of NYC now being sued for sexual assault and other assorted offenses by a woman….. she wrote a book on how to bring a lawsuit yourself ….. the event happened more than 30 years ago….. He has commented that he has no idea who this woman is….. I’m trying to imagine the misery you can be put through by someone making an allegation from 3 decades ago against you. ‘Can you prove you weren’t in Brooklyn on Pi day in 1993? You can’t! She may be changing her middle name to ‘Blasey’. |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18764 | Granted I can look back on old information (some of which I wrote myself) and can't remember a thing about it, as if it was someone else entirely, but I'm sure I would remember a sexual assault either as the perpetrator or the victim, if there was one. Heck, I remember significant events like that that happened to relatives or family members, and those I was only told about. The average day, I can't remember 2 days from now, if that long, unless something significant happens. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Um, I'm pretty sure that once the person in question is an Adult, Custody Battles no longer count....💡 Alec Baldwin's gun should have been CGI. Would have prevented the tragedy. Facts. |

30 years ago he wasn't the Mayor of NYC with a multi-million dollar net worth. I don't know if it happened or not, but the time to go after a person if they did something is when it happens. |

Except, there's all kinds of circumstances that might be exceptions. Does a 16 year old female know enough after being manipulated by trusted adult in an authority position? One might hesitate to accuse a police officer if its just one on one with no witnesses. Or a boss might get away with something where someone worked very hard to get such a position in the first place. Then there's just, someone in some place, someone never got the right name, couldn't find them, until they became famous and recognized them in the news.
