and you think the fact that LE busted a similar party last year in Houston isn't relevant?normally... i would just argue with you and say EVERYTHING about this site, has to do with something...that someone could get busted for...

LE doesn't have to be right, ask CK1942. he will tell you that of all the people arrested (was it about 12?) only one got convicted and it was due to a plea bargain. so that is an 8.3% conviction rate.
but...the video was a little scary. and i LOL'd when i recognized an avatar they showed...lady with the green shoes.
and i didnt see any HDH material in the vid...i think they got that part wrong Originally Posted by bubbaJay
Yeah, I can see the headlines now...i guess you didn't read the KHOU link or listen to the news soundbite attached to it. prostitution busts make juicy headlines. it's not just a "local group," it is a "group of men and women who chat online and the men are clients and the women are prosititutes." it's not just "raising money for charity and gathering toys for less fortunate children," it is "they are accused by local LE for raffling off sexual encounters with prostitutes in exchange for toys for the needy." don't water down what is going on here.
"Local group gets drunk at a strip club while raising money for charity and gathering toys for less fortunate children - 14 arrested with wrapping paper in hand."
I really hope your holiday season brings you a more positive outlook on life, Michael. Er, Jay. John. Whatever your name is. You sure seem like you need a hug. Originally Posted by Natalie Reign

i just think its foolish to think that LE isn't going to be snooping all around this party, given that something very similar happened last year in Houston.

If you do not want to go, don't go. It is as simple as that. We are all adults or at the very least I hope we are. Anything done in this hobby, is done with a certain element of risk involved. You go in with the understanding that things could go south in a hurry! Granted, going to the Toys 4 Tots event is done so with risk but at the end of the day it is no more risky than any other hobby activity.
but all 12 went to jail, probably got their names publicly posted somewhere, got their faces on TV, and had to hire a lawyer to defend themselves. so while LE failed to make a case on 11 of the 12, all 12 were definitely inconvenienced.
just food for thought. disagree all you want, but it's not like i made this news story up. but if LE comes a knockin' don't say you didn't know darn well it was a possibility. Originally Posted by John_TX

that being said, i have pointed out the risks and people have accused me of being off-topic, and others have simply acted like what they are going to be doing is perfectly legit.Yes, thank you for pointing out that prostitution is illegal on an Escort Review board. I don’t know what we would do without you.
i guess i could either rant on here or i could rant on the phone to a particular group of people who y'all would not want present at the party. which do you prefer?Why do you feel the need to rant about a party you have no desire to attend with people you have a strong distaste for? If you have no interest, move on.
Lets talk about how to raise toys for some needy kids and ignore the other drama in the thread.
...most importantly the party is not about Providers and their Clients....
Please do consider donating for the cause as stated. It is worthy of some support.

It's like a real-life soap opera. I don't even need to pay for cable anymore. I love this place. Originally Posted by Natalie Reign
