Every sex worker rights activist I’ve ever seen has been pushing to make the experience of people involved in sex work better.
They aren’t saying people don’t regret going into the industry. They are saying that once people are in the industry, whether they are trafficked into it, enter it because it’s the only way…

A modest number? IIRC all our infantry combat units were suffering fatigue due to the deployment schedule.

Also, IMO we have essentially lost. We haven’t achieved any of our strategic objectives, therefore we haven’t won. I suppose that’s technically different than losing, since we can disengage and just admit that we…

Would it? Al-Qaeda is little more than a well armed militia and the US government, despite a full declaration of war has had little success turning them into swiss cheese for more than a decade now.

“I like how I explained precisely how and why I’m NOT biased (except against bad writing) and you come back blathering about my inability to move past my biases.”

Can you quote me where you explained that you aren’t biased? Because I read your initial post 3 times and it seems you never said that. Now, maybe as someone…

It’s because the legal system doesn’t work when it comes to sexual assault against vulnerable populations.
This is why schools, including universities, grade schools and pre-schools have policies in place which they can use to terminate their employees for inappropriate conduct, even if a court of law finds “reasonable…

Ok, I’m not fucking with you but I’m trying to make a point about how I think appealing to overpopulation reduction is incredibly ignorant and misguided. Like, that is literally the argument that the Chinese Government uses for it’s child limitation policies which sometimes manifest as forced abortions.

It’s not a line…

What about genocide? Should that be legal strictly for overpopulation reasons alone?
Or forced sterilization? Should that be legal strictly for overpopulation reasons alone?

You’ve managed to select the absolute worst argument to support your point of view without referencing any others.

Or alternatively it could be used as a covert weapons platform. Keep the exterior profile clean, paint it like a commercial cargo airliner, and have the CIA or whomever get it a cargo route flight path that takes it near the target. Preferably on a path towards friendly airspace. But you wouldn't even need tanker…

Xin Zhao was the 2nd champion they released after I started playing.
At the time I was queueing with friends who had been playing a bit longer than myself. This is all I have to say:

White people in north america didn't just steal land though. They also systematically and intentionally destroyed the indigenous culture. In my home state native children were forced to attend boarding schools in which they were beaten and otherwise abused for speaking their native language, or even "acting native".…

Even if you consider it sexual assault, you wouldn't consider the person initiating the contact to be the victim would you? Under that framework this dolphin sexually assaulted this man. He was "embarrassed" by the approach and the initiated contact. It doesn't sound like he was consenting initially to me. But over a…

"For me that is why there should be a "bright-line rule" against human/other animal sexual interaction."

So when I tried to have sex with another kid at my preschool neither one of us could possibly have been consenting, under any circumstances.

I'm so glad I have you to tell me that I was both an attempted rapist and victim of attempted rape at 5 years old.

I think you're confusing legal definitions for reality. Legally a…

Not sure if you're asking the specific commentator you're replying to or are using "you" in a general sense.
I'm going to assume the later, and that you're interested in times that people have received this kind of harassment. If I'm wrong I at least think I'll be helping you prove your point.
I got a smattering of…

One can construct a purely libertarian argument for unrestricted abortion based on a woman's right to evict a fetus from occupying her property (e.g. her uterus). But I should note that Libertarians are probably the only people who would be more persuaded by an appeal to property rights than an appeal to morality.

This is a great analysis. In my opinion the Naruto manga would fit in the same category — the early volumes were compelling and well executed without relying on too many tropes but also didn't have a lot of depth or complexity.

Personally I find Attack on Titan infuriating because of it's reliance on tired character…

"And ultimately, we can trace sexual violence in impoverished communities to its core cause: capitalism ..."

Bullshit.

If this were the case than there would have been lower rates of sexual violence before capitalism was adopted.
That isn't the case. I can find the primary source documenting genocidal rape campaigns by…

You may have heard of a thing called: "fire codes"
If not: they are a thing our society has developed to tell when the number of people gathered in an enclosed space is endangering anyone's safety —- no matter how peaceful the gathering.

"I do not need to inform myself of the needs of sex workers, voluntary or not. Besides the fact that it has nothing to do with the point at hand...."
So regulation of sex work has nothing to do with the needs of sex workers.....
I guess from that standpoint it makes sense to do everything about them without them.

"Decreasing the legal cost/risk of purchasing is what increases the demand. "
No, it decreases the quantity demanded, which as I suggested probably leads to more serious crime. Read the first paragraph of this article for the distinction: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand only keep in mind that legal risks are part…
