Sorry, but I'm not buying it. There are plenty of good reasons for not defending legalized prositution that can be articulated without resorting to emotional appeals.
People that defend the indefensible are usually just looking for the easy way out.
Wow. No pleasing you today. I thought it was an objective commentary. Authentic debate on the issue at hand, no matter how repulsive. I'm not on the defensive on this issue at all. I simply can see what's at hand and embelished on the point.
I think it would help to simply acknowledge that this is happening and look at the reasons. When you can come up with a means to deal with it constructively it's would be worth exploring the issue further. It's certainly easy to "take shots" at a policy and condemn it, you haven't forwarded an effective solution. If you can't take the responsibility to put forth at least one alternative, don't be so quick to condemn my intent when I make an honest appraisal of what may be behind it, even when I don't approve of it.
And yes, I would never condemn a millions Chinese children/women to such a fate, I believe it's inhumane. I also have deep simpathy for the Chinese men who have to face a lifetime without hope of marraige, children, family and otherwise.
It's tragic. Don't get upset with me for it though. Have a nice day.
There was one famous cathouse outside Reno that the IRS owned for a couple of years. They lost money with the real thing so they sold it and went back to screwing us the old way.
