Epstein

[S.A. Boggs]

You're right. After a few minutes of reflection, I'm sorry I succumbed to a momentary impulse of anger, even if it was provoked by unjustified remarks.

It takes a Gentleman to reflect and admit a transgression. When metal is heated in a cauldron the slag comes to the surface and is discarded leaving the metal stronger, this is you!

The only one to speak publically had no pimp & took her wages directly from Epstein.

By the way, how DOES a pimp, or drug dealer, hook anyone on drugs? Kidnap them, tie them up, inject them with drugs?

You think that dose not happen?

[Vern Humphrey]

Kidnapping is quite common -- especially with cross-border Human Trafficking.

Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest is the tip of the iceberg: human trafficking is the world’s fastest growing crime

A second source of prostitutes is runaway kids -- out on the street with no protection or means of making a living, they are snapped up by pimps, who encourage them to take drugs.

Yes, I'm sure encouraging them "to take drugs" is a very hard sell. Anyway, they'd rather become prostitutes than go home? This is a lifestyle they CHOOSE.

I use to think that until I met some of them and found it is not the case. A runaway is often scared, hungry, looking for a "protector" to aid them. A pimp does this, wins their confidence, feeds them and protects them until he wants to hustle them. Now fear of their protector, often by a beating and promises of worse to come turns them to doing tricks. Forced addiction to drugs keeps them in line until no longer needed.

Have you ever met any? In Korea, the Catholic chaplain worked with kids like this, and I helped him.

Let me explain: Those children live a miserable life, with no way out. Except there IS a way they can get out for a few hours. That's the ONLY way they can get out.

That may have been true 50 yrs ago when Korea was still part of the Turd World, but now, in one of the most prosperous countries in the world? Very hard to believe.

But HERE is what I'm talking about. Running away to live on the streets is a CHOICE. The pimps didn't make them do it. A kid who's being abused at home, if that's his excuse, only has to tell one teacher, & before the last bell rings, the kid will be a ward of Social Services & there's a good chance his parents will be in jail.

Now tell us that the kids who shoot up their schools are just misunderstood.

CH, by your logic, if a minor makes the wrong kind of decision, then every ill in this world that flows from that (drug addiction, predation, enslavement), is their fault, not that of their exploiter? Good grief, that has to be about the worst thing anyone here has ever posted! And don't try to change the subject to underage school shooters. These things are not the same!

There's your problem -- you're not arguing about FACTS or KNOWLEDGE, but about what you BELIEVE.

Or maybe not -- you assume kids are completely rational and the system works all the time. The fact is, kids are often irrational and the system fails at least as often as it succeees.

Now tell us that the kids who shoot up their schools are just misunderstood.

Wow! When you can't use logic, you try the old lateral arabesque.

Do some research!

It’s yet another reason why parents need to keep a close eye on their kids’ involvement with social networking websites—during a three-year period ending in March 2012, members of a violent Virginia street gang used some of these websites to recruit vulnerable high-school age girls to work in their prostitution business.
After a multi-agency state and federal investigation, all five defendants pled guilty to various federal charges related to the sex trafficking conspiracy. The leader of the gang—27-year-old Justin Strom—was just sentenced on September 14 to 40 years in prison, while the sentences handed down for the other four defendants totaled 53 years.
Strom headed up the Underground Gangster Crips (UGC), a Crips “set” based in Fairfax, Virginia.

Worse than your defense, or rather celebration, of sodomite culture, repeated dozens of times?

What does this study prove? That teenage whores can be persuaded to begin selling what they'd been giving away previously? How many virgins do you suppose fell for that line?

Do you have the answer to your last question? If not, how do you know that Vern's is valid?

So when a young girl is trafficked, she DESERVED it? It's all the VICTIM'S fault?

[togor]

Yes, 1000% worse. Two words: Consenting. Adults.

And this: someone who openly sides with the exploiters of children has no business referencing scripture (your reference to Sodom).

"I now understand that she was young. But, your honor, you should have seen her." Disgusting.

Got a neighbor who moved in 15 months ago. Told my wife the moment we saw him that he's probably a Pastor ... it was the cheesy fake "TV Evangelical" smile that gave him away .

Turns out he has two businesses registered in his name..... one is a church of a very early form of Judaism.... the other business is a Christian church a couple of towns away .

One of his sons actually preaches at the "services" performed next door. He served time twice for sexual assault ... once with endangerment to a child .

The whole family thinks I'm rude because I won't give them the time of day.....

{ and if he wasn't on my ignore list I'd be standing with Vern on this thread.....}
