NBA....I just don't get it.

Well said Averni!
I'm going to go ahead and admit though,
I am a raging anti dentite!
Whew. Glad that off my back.
I also vote BBBj , but you all already know that.

Save your breath, Annie Calhoun.

I know full well the difference between "legalization" and "decriminalization."

The hobby will be legalized and regulated eventually and that is good. Uncle Sam will get his fair share and the dark corners and criminal element not part of the main stream hobby who victimize people will still be criminals.

If you think the federal government will ever just throw up its hands and "decriminalize" prostitution ... well, let's just say you are very naive. Originally Posted by RichardNixon

Where did I address you at all in my post? I addressed Annie's comments not yours.

Now ... can you point out where in my post I said that the government wouldn't "legalize" and regulate the hobby? Pffft! The government wants it's "cut" of everything - it's the biggest mafia going and that's how they work.

What I'm saying - is that WE SHOULD want decriminalization over legalization. Legalization is okay - it does move providers across the line of being "law breakers" and allows them to operate in the clear light of day. And - it would allow them the protection of LE instead of being constantly victimized by LE.

But ... "legalization" means a lot of things. It means taxes - it means you, Mr. Hobbyist - get to pay Uncle Sam for playing.

It means ... shit like the Porn industry in Los Angeles is having to deal with concerning that new proposition that is forcing them to comply with CALOSHA standards and wear condoms in every scene. Actually, CALOSHA has stated that they'll have to comply with all the OSHA rules - including wearing protective clothing and face shields where there is a hazard of "body fluid splashage". EDIT: Don't confuse this as a statement by me in favor of barebacking - it's not. What I'm saying here is that ridiculous laws and regulations will dreamed up for this hobby and providers and hobbyists will be forced to abide.

It means - all providers will be tested for diseases. Yay?! Well, WHO is going to test them for disease? Is there going to be an agency set up to coordinate all this? How many workers do we have to hire on the taxpayer dole to pay for this?

But I understand your position - Richard Nixon was a big spending Republican you know - and probably would have been all about the legalization route. EDIT: He was also a cheap-ass - and supported wage and price controls.

Sorry to be so terse - but you really got my gander up when you called me someone I'm not and then called me out on a post where I wasn't talking to you.

Oh well.

Not that I give a shit, but it sounds like you got your "dander up" over nothing, since I WASN'T addressing you.

Jumping to wrong conclusions and then issuing a long winded spiel without any grasp of the facts whatsoever ... Yep, typical Paulbot.

First of all, I never said that the government would simply "throw up its hands" and decriminalize prostitution, but that was a nice attempt to derail the conversation.

Decriminalization of prostitution isn't unheard of, and there's evidence to support that approach vs. the legalization model.

As for the likelihood of it happening in the US? I have faith that this country will eventually come to its senses. When? I'm not sure. But remember, there are a lot of things we take for granted that were illegal up until a relatively short time ago. It's not happening quickly, but we are making progress, and I'm not going to just "throw up my hands" and disregard the best option re: US policy and prostitution.

My apologies ... I should know that a dumaz like me can never hope to take on a President of the United States - no matter how disgraced.

By the way ... I'm no Paulbot. I might be a RAND-bot soon but we'll have to wait four years and see!

Well, this has gotten way the fuck off the tracks of not understanding a NBA policy. I'll sort all this out when I land, but until then keep it on the original topic.

So basically you're taking the side of your race over a child molester. I guess Santa can add another to his list of reasons. Racial issues aside, you can go fuck yourself for that response you sick piece of shit. I think this guy should be banned, and blacklisted by every respectable provider on here.

Basically within their peer group. I'm not talking about some 30 year old sicko like R. Kelly. Is Jeremy Hill, star LSU RB a sick piece of shit?

What about this guy?

You realize those guys are required to be sex offenders if convicted right? As are those who get caught pissing in public where a kid might see. Simply leaning on that stat is a skewed vision of the world.

Name calling or calling for my ban/blacklisting is unnecessary. Your reading comprehension however, is necessary. I'll refrain from stooping to your sophomoric level.

Until we all get there, this stupid argument in this stupid thread will never end... ijs.

It's pretty funny shit considering.., don't forget he also likes Callie, well she is only half black, does that count? Lmao!

Ps I discriminate against dumbasses! It's my body and I choose not to poison it with stupidity!

naive is asking for a half hour appointment and thinking a hooker wants to go to dinner with you for a hh rate! But that's off the subject!

Flmao!

"Basically within their peer group" isn't a sentence.

"Nowhere did I say there were no AA child molesters or racist" This is a double negative sentence. By this point you'd of failed a 4th grade test.

Also, by law it's statutory rape for an 18 or 19 year old male(regardless of race) to sleep with a 14 or 15 year old girl.

Damn you turn around for a minute and you get a cluster fuck
