Keep in mind the Netherlands ‘model’ is controversial as studies are being done to determine if it increases human trafficking. One already claimed it did. Of course this is exactly because it’s not as regulated as it should be. But people who sell people will find ways to usurp the laws. So even when it’s ‘legal’ it…

Woman here as well. I lived in the Netherlands - it’s legal, sure, it’s also filled with women who were coerced and trafficked and kidnapped into being prosititutes, mostly immigrants. And even for the local Dutch prostitutes who may just be putting themselves through school, it’s generally not something they list on…
Super unpopular opinion- I really don’t like legalizing prostitution because of the commodification of (mostly) female bodies. I think if it was a small scale with women having total control over being paid for what they decide on, it would be different. But, it’s not. For the most part, when prostitution is legal,…
Shocking! Women less likely to support something that would hurt mostly women!
Um, have you ever been to a Starbucks? Those friendly folks bathing in the restrooms do not have a lot of options.
Do you know how much shit I gave away when I worked at Starbucks? How many free drinks? They could afford it and so can ihop. I say fuck The Man.
Just if anyone’s curious, scarlet fever starts with strep throat and then classically presents with a red rash that feels like sandpaper and usually spreads from the face/neck down your body. Also what’s called a “strawberry tongue” — bright red and bumpy, sometimes with a white film.
Slight correction, if the theory is true, then one other person does know Jon’s parentage. That person, who we may or may not meet this season, is Howland Reed, who was with Ned when they fought at the tower.
I think Jon Snow dies, Melissandra brings him back. Since he died, he is free of his oath to the Night Watch and free to go help in the north.
I think Jon Snow is not toast
People, please start believing that health care IS the miracle God sent you.
The one thing to consistently keep in mind is that since he was charted with murder, the final decision as to whether or not to parole him goes to the governor. And governors are notoriously reluctant to parole murderers after the Willie Horton scandal derailed Dukakis’ presidential run in the 80's. So, there’s a…
This shit is far too common. Perhaps he did have a rough background, or perhaps he just grew up in an environment that told him if he wanted a girl’s attention, he was entitled to it. Lots of people have abusive childhoods- the vast majority don’t murder people for turning them down. Look at comments elsewhere-…
There is a joke I once heard by Childish Gambino when he was still doing his stand-up under his regular name and it went something like this:
An eye for an eye means that rapists are raped, and murderers are killed. I’m not advocating that, not at all. But I do think that we value victims too little, and we don’t want to really confront suffering. We don’t want to think about how it feels to be terrified if a stranger rings your doorbell, or if a guy…
I know that it’s the liberal thing to be all about restorative justice and all, but I tend to think that for assault and murder, you get out when the person you harmed gets their lives back. When her parents can think about her and remember the good things and not the way she died, you might be considered for parole.…
Once again, Margaret Atwood says it best:
And yet, somehow, even dogs can fucking learn to understand it.
Okay trademark “nice guys,” want to explain yet again how rejection is so much worse than MURDER? Fuck.
