"Speaking of falling overboard, didn't this happen to an elderly man on a cruise ship recently? He 'disappeared', having been last seen on the deck of the ship."
Maybe he was sold into a brothel.
Yeah...in Miami Beach, for all those hot-to-trot 80 year-old widows.
You guys are being sarcastic, I know. But there have been a number of threads on FR dealing with the slave trade in young girls and young boys. Muslims in the middle east and Africa, not to mention Asians, have been making it a fairly large business in the past decade.
Now, I understand that Aruba is effectively a vassal of Holland, where there is a large and de facto sovereign population of Muslims.
I suggest that before you just flip off the notion of slavery, you consider the very lucrative, and well known, trade in such. The notion is not the same a abduction by "aliens", unless the "aliens" are non-nationals instead of extraterrestials.
