January 23, 20232 yr Metroplex actually:https://www.cbsnews.com/dfw/news/prostitution-ring-bust/Out of an area as populated as the Metroplex I’m not sure how this is a big blow to sex trafficking. Apparently no sex traffickers, pimps or prostitutes were involved.

January 23, 20232 yr 3 minutes ago, TKthunder2 said: How’s the war on drugs going? 'bout as well as the war on sex. It is endlessly entertaining and equally sad that the GOP platform is essentially, "Should we recognize human behavior and adjust accordingly? For which there are countless examples around the world? Hell no, that would be ungodly. We should just make it criminal to fuck."
January 23, 20232 yr Geez, a youth pastor? The skeletons in the closets are real. It's hard not to feel sympathy for these people. Employers are notified at a minimum of this arrest, it carries a Felony, and if you have a wife/family (you are a piece of crap for stepping out on them for a craiglist hooker to begin with) but that's probably irreparably damaged. All in an area where these men thought they were insulated and safe (Southlake/Frisco vs Harry Hines). I do wonder how many are actually from the area proper versus driving in from Irving or somewhere like that. There but for the Grace of God, go I on a lot of idiotic behaviors as a youth.
January 23, 20232 yr What kind of a rock do you have to live under to think that 46 arrests constitutes "a major crackdown on prostitution"?

January 23, 20232 yr 4 minutes ago, TexArcher said: What kind of a rock do you have to live under to think that 46 arrests constitutes "a major crackdown on prostitution"? The same kind of rock that makes you think that the eleventy billion "massive drug busts" we've had since we began the War on Drugs has made a dent in either 1) addiction rates or 2) the availability of drugs for sale/purchase. Criminalizing consensual conduct focused on the self has always been idiocy. An easy way to think about it is this: imagine that tomorrow they criminalize masturbation. Two things will happen: 1) masturbation rates will go down 0.0%, and 2) functionally all Americans past the age of puberty will turn into criminals. It's just fucking stupid....so we keep trying it, over and over and over. Hell, we're ramping UP our efforts at criminalizing all manner of sexual behavior. We don't just go full-on stupid, we jam down on the accelerator of stupid. I'm sure there will be no more prostitution in north Texas now. PROBLEM SOLVED.
January 23, 20232 yr "I'm very happy to see those soliciting being prosecuted because if there's no demand there's no supply," said Chelsea Robertson. I don't want to see anyone have to sell sex if they don't want to. But this line jumped out to me. Going to solve the demand of men wanting to have sex? Um. Good luck.
January 23, 20232 yr "I'm very happy to see those soliciting being prosecuted because if there's no demand there's no supply," said Chelsea Robertson. lulz
January 23, 20232 yr Yeah, you quashed their demand for one night. Congrats. Guess what they’re gonna wake up with tomorrow?
January 23, 20232 yr Men that see this bust in that area may temporarily lower their frequency of visits to prostitutes. But in a few months or even weeks it’ll be right back to normal. Enforcement shit like this is pointless.

January 23, 20232 yr Just now, Grade of D as in David said: If you're going to have to leave the country at least pick a hoor friendly place like Amsterdam i forgot Nevada, also forgot to mention PRISON time which generally accompanies a convicted felony charge. Holy crap, are we in the 21st century?

Holy crap, are we in the 21st century? Not if our current leadership has anything to do with it. We're back to good old fashioned book bans, for fuck's sake. If you think that witch trials aren't part of the discussion, you haven't been paying attention. I have no idea WHY there's such an impetus for retrograde puritanical insanity, but there sure as shit IS such an impetus in our society.
January 23, 20232 yr It’s going to end up with breaking about any law will result in the death penalty
January 23, 20232 yr If you're looking for girls, especially, but also women of legal age to screw and they're basically being kept isolated or behind lock and key, as was going down in Houston in some Mexican clubs about 15 years ago (according to a notorious tx monthly article), and god forbid still is, you deserve the worst punishment society can muster. Likewise, if you're trafficking someone by force, by tricking them, or by threat. But when the law intrudes on sex between consenting adults, it's absolutely absurd and you should take your puritan laws and shove 'em up yer ass. Cosigned, Robert Kraft

January 23, 20232 yr Texas Logic: "A disturbing plurality of the drugs coming across the border contain fentanyl, sir! Should we legalize the clean stuff we can monitor easily and also treat the addicted and mentally ill with proper resources?" "Nah, let's bitch about the fentanyl, watch the addicts die, spend billions on a futile war on drugs we keep illegal, and buy more helicopters while the mentally ill anguish in pain!" same as "A disturbing plurality of Johns are taking to cheaper, more discrete sex with victims of human trafficking, sir! We can minimize the trafficking by legalizing prostitution and letting these Johns fornicate with consenting adults who are clean and chose the profession freely!" "Nah, let's sweep up the hookers and clients in overnight raids. And then bitch about the human trafficking, wondering why it's happening when most men clearly prefer a consenting, of-age woman with no illnesses in an approved space." And of course, as always. NO GAMBLING! Unless the State Government of Texas is involved.
January 23, 20232 yr imagine that tomorrow they criminalize masturbation. Thanks for giving the state leg the idea.
January 23, 20232 yr More failed policy. War on drugs and war on sex are fucking stupid. Prostitutes and John’s shouldn’t be the target, pimps and traffickers are the ones that should be arrested. I recently started documenting the blade, or bissonnet track, here in Houston. I have seen cops there a couple of times. Arresting anyone, especially pimps, nope. Just show up to say they patrolled the area and then no cops for hours and hours. Just like any other crime, human trafficking will never drop to zero. But current laws are not effective. Legalize it. Try to kill the black market. At the very least, there will be some reduction. But the religious right and the current GOP/GQP won’t allow it. And it’s not because of Jesus. They don’t even believe in what he allegedly taught.

January 24, 20232 yr Popular Post The whole state of Texas isn’t as far from Florida as many like to think.
January 24, 20232 yr The whole state of Texas isn’t as far from Florida as many like to think.Oh, it’s really fucking close. We got hosed on the beaches but we got better food. Crazies, novias tóxicas, fascist right wingers, religious fanatics, etc…it’s a dead heat.

January 24, 20232 yr So we're all agreed then?; no gambling, no booze on Sundays, no sex with mutually consenting adults, no masturbation, certainly no gay sex if that's your inclination, no books, no online porn, and no weed? But lots and lots and lots of frustrated young males should have as much possible access to military grade firepower. What could possibly go wrong?

Federal prisons prohibit self pleasure https://www.vice.com/en/article/ypvk7g/why-its-illegal-for-prisoners-to-masturbate Public masturbation (and it's pretty much all public when you're locked up) along with any other kind of sexual behavior is banned in US prisons—kind of a surprise if you figured self-satisfaction was one of those few freedoms the incarcerated could keep. According to Justin Long, a spokesperson for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the rule exists to keep inmates and staff safe, since masturbation can be intimidating, offensive, or serve as a precursor to sexual assault or fights.

Admittedly, I’m a bit shocked there were only 46 in the entire metroplex, but there are no more consumers now. The hoors have all found other jobs, all those women that were kidnapped and forced into prostitution have been returned home, and the pimps have joined together to solve the housing crises.
January 24, 20232 yr Cross posting from the Houston hooker thread. Until Frisco has pimps like this, y’all aren’t on our level.
