    Last comment was cut off. Because I was trying to just cancel the whole thing, but that doesn't work for me here.

    All those countries, as you and I agree, have huge competency issues. The girls were kidnapped over 3 weeks ago. They didn't care—the First Lady even suggested that it was a lie and the government said early on that they got the girls back.

    You are making this seem like it would be easy. It's not a couple girls, it's 200+ held by a heavily armed group of several hundred to several thousand.

    Why would what matter??

    What does "get involved" mean? Troops on the ground? Or help with finding where they are?

    No, you are afraid of saying if you are familiar with the amateur porn world or not. These new laws may affect that in unexpected ways, and you just keep talking about something totally unrealistic like release forms. That you think it realistic makes me think you are unaware.

    Ha, it's probably because you really aren't familiar with all this. Amateur porn, I mean.

    Do you take such images yourself? And are you aware of the popularity of taking and sharing such images? You act as if all those people will suddenly view themselves as professional photographers. For them, these are just pictures like any other.

    Well, there is a difference, I am guessing, between sharing and posting. That's what I was wondering about. After all, think of those teens charged with child porn for texting innocent topless shots to their bfs. That's just sharing, not posting.

    I'm saying we have the technology to help Nigeria if they ask. We are not just looking for one person here, after all.

    We have drones and things like the NSA. We found Bin Laden, after all.

    Help pick up signals in order to locate them. Only reason why we haven't done that yet is cause Nigeria hasn't asked for that kind of help from us.

    It's only recently that they were viewable.

    Sounds like you didn't read the original article. People were scared to work with her because they thought her reckless.

    Not just in the corporate world. Looks affect things like teacher evaluations as well.

    The way I see it is that if people are paid well and have access to education and healthcare, they take pride in their job and do it professionally. But that doesn't mean they gush and smile all the time at the people they provide their services to. If wait staff in Europe don't always seem friendly, it's probably

    It's fine. But this opens up to the much larger topic of differences amongst cultures in the whole concept of customer service and beyond—to interactions with strangers in general. In some cultures, you don't smile all the time at strangers like we Americans often do or try to do.

    There's mountains and mountains of amateur porn out there that people make. And they share it. Can't imagine everyone getting consent forms to do that.

    Maybe if they called it apple wine (Apfelwein) like the Germans do it would get a better rep. Very popular in parts of Europe.
