American Politics

[QUOTE=Jelly Donut]Apparently the vision is to charge people with [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord908][CodeWord908][/url] when no 'victim' has been moved.[/QUOTE]
That's exactly right. Better still, the 'victim' doesn't even have to be proven to be a 'victim'.

After three years and millions of taxpayer dollars being poured into anti-trafficking efforts, the Australian Federal Police were still unable to secure one single conviction of trafficking and/or sex slavery. The problem was, the darn 'victims' kept refusing to play ball and admit they were victims. In fact, most of poor, misguided souls claimed they'd travelled to Australia to work in our brothels BY CHOICE! The United States was unimpressed and accused Australia of not doing enough to protect these poor women from themselves.

So they changed the law, to make the issue of consent irrelevant. Now it doesn't matter whether you consented to coming to Australia or consented to working as a sex worker when you got here. If you come here from a developing country and you work in a brothel, a crime has taken place. Full stop. Unfknbelievable.

[QUOTE=Jelly Donut]Also, there's some language about the hitting the [i]demand[/i] side of prostitution (that probably means you, by the way). Wonder how they are going to do that? You would think the party that gave us Eliot Spitzer could take a moment of self-reflection before renewing the war on men.[/QUOTE]
The campaign for the 'Swedish Model' - criminalising clients in the name of 'protecting' sex workers - isn't just a war on men. It's a war on wh*res as well.

[QUOTE=Rubber Nursey]Unfknbelievable.[/QUOTE]
It's going to be interesting to see what comes of the "Natalie Dylan" tempest. My understanding is she lives in California and is self-trafficking to Nevada in order to "sell her virginity". While prostitution may be legal in parts of Nevada, as we all should know by now, she will be violating the Mann Act if she crosses state lines for the purpose of prostitution. It was estabilished early in the history of that law, that the "victim" could also be the perpetrator.

"Suppose, for instance that a professional prostitute, as well able to look out for herself as was the man, should suggest and carry out the journey within the act of 1910 in the hope of blackmailing the man, and should buy the railroad tickets, or should pay the fare..."

I can't imagine this has escaped the attention of authorities. Think about the reaction if she pulls it off and all America's virgins started doing the math. Anyway, the dude that travels to Nevada for the purpose of having sex with her is opening himself up the same situation Eliot Spitzer was placed in earlier this year.

[QUOTE=Dickhead]On OJ, I don't know about half and half race-wise since the last time I checked blacks were way less than half the population of the US, Nevada, or Las Vegas but that bothered me as well.

On the Trig Palin thing, Down's Syndrome is clearly associated with older mothers and not younger ones so I doubt Trig is the daughter's baby. Wikipedia, a convenient if not always reliable source, says:

"Maternal age influences the chances of conceiving a baby with Down syndrome. At maternal age 20 to 24, the probability is one in 1562; at age 35 to 39 the probability is one in 214, and above age 45 the probability is one in 19. Although the probability increases with maternal age, 80% of children with Down syndrome are born to women under the age of 35, reflecting the overall fertility of that age group. Recent data also suggest that paternal age, especially beyond 42, also increases the risk of Down Syndrome manifesting in pregnancies in older mothers."[/QUOTE]

Well that MAY be true, however. Tina Fey, I mean Sarah Palin must not have much control over Bristol if she's PREGNANT and in that sense, AK is the Meth capitol of the country along with being the incense capital of the country.

Ding, Ding, Ding

I will stick with the rumors that might be true -

Palin has cheated on her husband - In The National Inq

She put Wasila 22 MILLION in debt, for a town of just about $6K - TRUE

If Trig is her baby, she a true dumb ass passing up Neonatal care in Houston, then flying to Arckorage, ignoring the NeoNatal Care center there and then going to Wasila to have your baby??? WTF???

80% popularity is FALSE

She's a LIAR - TRUE

Tina Fey hit the nail on the head on SNL - True

She's a morron - "I can see Russia from my backyard...."

An all white jury for the most racially hated man in all of American history.
Wow. I am never moving back to the States....That whole trial and jury selection was ridiculous. I mean OJ put himself in that position but damn.

Yep and I'm trying to leave....

The law is unfair for people of color and its nothing new, it won't change anytime soon, its not even a subject in the undercurrent. It is in the Green Party circles but who listens to Cynthia McKinney????

We'll see what happens over the next few months, this Country is going to hell in a hand basket. Still blaming minorities for the sub prime problem, dragging down the economy, when it was DING you guessed it who controls the banks, the loan companies, the brokers and the stock market.

Uh, my head is hurting. I'm not getting laid, I want to make sure even though Obama is not the complete answer unless we push him (we can look what happen last week). I keep looking at Bride.ru... lol

I need to get outta here and find my woman...

There was a Pakistani guy in Australia who went to Pakistan and hung out at a terrorist training camp but decided he would serve jihad better as a doctor, went back, Aussie immigration found training manuals in his luggage, he was accused of terrorism, then he was left completely off the hook. He lives free as a bird in Sydney Australia, thats how much more liberal the justice system in Australia is compared to the US, this same person if he was in the US would be locked up in Supermax or Gitmo in less than a New York minute. Even if Obama wins which is highly likely barring any kind of big surprise in the next couple of weeks, I think people of color will always be treated unfairly, and adding to the difficulty is that you have minorities who are complete white ass kissers in America, particularly in the newsmedia.

People in America are brushing aside the Wall Street crisis, the reality is that all but the superwealthy in America are about to be screwed over big time, in fact this is the final straw in the hay, and America's day as an economic superpower will now come to an end with economic leadership of the world going East to the Pacific region and maybe somewhat to Europe, but its clear that the true beginning of an Asian century is now here. Despite all the talk of economic meltdown in the US and UK, China is set to continue its lightning fast growth, other Asian nations are also growing, even Japan which was in a 20 year recession is now reawakening and seeing new markets in Asia and Europe for its wares.

Squeeze the Juice. He's a murderer and a complete moron to boot.

if you can prove or disprove your case in the US court of law. these two things are not mutually inclusive.

of course OJ snapped and killed his x and her boyfriend as they slept together in the residence that he paid for.

but the prosecution was out lawyered by oj's defense team. they didn't prove their case and the jury reached a correct verdict.

...then he deserves to go to jail. What I am "tripping" on is that all white jury bullshit. If people believe that was not a set up then I got some beach front property in the Antarctica for sale.

Glad to see him get his come-uppance.

It is these types of remarks that convince me that OJ was convicted of killing Nicole Brown, rather than of the armed robbery of dealers possessing items that belonged to him.

Orenthal should have taken his NFL pension and relocated to Brazil where he would have lived out the remainder of his life in peace surrounded by beautiful women.

....No Black man in America should be tried by an all-white jury. I am sorry but I think time and time again this has proved to be detrimental to the Black guy. If he is guilty then OK but you know as of late they have been finding a lot of guys innocent after 20 years behind bars. My mother has a childhood friend who did 20 then was rewarded $5million after he was cleared. That money can’t get 20 years of his life back. His jury was all-white.

I don’t care if I get flamed for this next statement but I think Non-Blacks are inclined to assume Blacks are guilty regardless of the evidence. In my travels witnessed too much racism against Blacks to trust any race of people other then the original.
