There's not a single word in that post claiming that selling hookers is a bad thing, not a single word saying that we should not encourage shit like this. They might as well claim it's completely fine to buy women. I'm sorry, but I won't deal with Gawker media anymore.

Who will fornicate and do other things for you.

In exchange for your monies.

Because they don't have souls.

Claiming that hookers are bad doesn't mean you are endorsing it. It's called being objective.

Does talking about the Guillotine without holding up a big disclaimer that says I THINK THIS IS BAD mean that I therefore must think it is good?

I could understand it if they ARE endorsing it, but they aren't. They're just not pandering to your beliefs. Grow some balls and stop freaking out.

There's a fine line.. but as a journalist you should KEEP that fine line, Jalopnik did NOT do that at this moment.. they actually wrote that article in a way that looks like they think this is a good thing. I will not be a member of a group that thinks this is cool.

I don't see where it said these girls were sold to the drive in. Sounds like they chose to work there since they had to apply for a permit. Prostitution is the oldest profession, and it's not going anywhere.

Its not the responsibility of gawker (or any media entity) to enforce or agree with your personal moral standards. If your expecting fire and condemnation to accompany all your prostitution related news, then every major media entity on earth can only disappoint you.

Also, trafficking (the purchase of human beings) and prostitution (the selling of sex BY human beings) are not synonymous. Its true that many people are forced into sexual slavery through trafficking, but it is also true that people will choose to become sex workers of their own accord. They arent all slaves.

I think you're replacing the article they wrote with one you created in your mind after reading the headline.

It is objective. It's so obviously objective that I can't understand how you can argue that it isn't. It's probably one of THE MOST objective articles I've seen from gawker.

Two consenting adults can do whatever they please as long as it does not infringe on any one's rights.
This particular program is about making conditions for women SAFER. It does NOT advocating human trafficking. From the article:

"We can't solve the whole problem of exploitation and human trafficking, but at least we want to reduce the harm, especially the violence."

The way I see it they claim the whole thing as a good thing, there's not a single word talking about trafficking (A REAL problem), just stuff making fun of the fact that there's a drive-thru brothel.

This is sort of like not reading Automatchs posts about car sales anymore because he won't mention how bad it is to steal cars everytime. I mean...no one outside the traffickers think trafficking is a good thing. Shouldnt it go without saying that we all think it is bad?

Okay, but the way you see it is not how it's written . How you see it likewise, should not affect your moral judgement over how someone else wrote it.

Bill O'Reilly didn't write that article, are used to journalists twisting other people's news into serving a political or moral goal of theirs? Because if so, there's plenty of trashy news out there for you. This article was not that.

WTF? I mean there are sick people out there who have to pay for companionship. Not my kind of thing, but it is happening. Everywhere, every day. As much as we like to turn a blind eye onto these (disgusting) goings on, they are happening right under our noses.

So why not give these ladies a tiny little bit more of protection? "We can't solve the whole problem of exploitation and human trafficking, but at least we want to reduce the harm, especially the violence."

What is wrong with that?

I know that Germany gets ridiculed for legalizing prostitution, but the general idea wasn't that bad. It is happening anyway, so why not give the sex workers access to health insurance and pension plans?

Why? The article involves state-condoned prostitution, not trafficking. This is not a wholesale auction for humans, but rather people paying for services rendered in a controlled area. It goes without saying that human trafficking is a terrible thing, but that's not what's going on here and doesn't need to be addressed as such.

GhostZ > Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh 09/02/2014 at 20:14

They're not supposed to. Sure, they can, but that line isn't a part of the article. That's a disclaimer to prevent idiots from getting the wrong idea and freaking out, threatening to leave. That's not news and it doesn't add anything to the article.

They should not be obligated to express their opinion when they write an article, and its more professional for them not to.

Well the whole thing here is that your argument is invalid. As I see it, here is your argument: Article reports that a regulated brothel opens and makes hooking safer for all parties. Article doesn't mention trafficking is bad. Article condones trafficking.

Comparable argument: Article talks about cars. Article doesn't mention stealing cars is bad. Article condones car theft.

So as I see it, it's invalid. Feel free to tell me your actual argument though since I had to guess.

I might be wrong here, but the way I see it is as follows; Any article talking about hookers should mention trafficking (it's a HUGE problem, atleast it is in europe) and say that it's not OK. Consent between adults is something else for sure.. but writing an article about selling sex without that disclaimer is not OK in my opinion.

Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh > PS9 09/02/2014 at 21:12

Right, I made a mess.. I'll admit that, but I still think that one should have some sort of disclaimer when it comes to selling sex.. Not that it matter..

Ok, so a comparable argument could be about biking in Montreal, where the bike theft rate is apparently 50%.

Argument: Any article talking about biking in Montreal should mention bike theft (it's a huge problem). Consensual sales are something else for sure. Writing an article about biking in Montreal without a disclaimer about bike theft is not OK.

That argument is not valid.

So I do see what you're getting at in an overall sense, I'm just pointing out that it's not Jalopnik's duty to mention it because consensual sales and trafficking are not the same thing, even if related, just as it's not their duty to talk about bike theft in an article about biking in Montreal.

A lot of people don't realize that "shy" and "introverted" are mutually exclusive.

Shy = having anxiety regarding meeting new people and such.

Introverted = gaining energy by being alone / losing energy by being surrounded by people (the opposite of "Extroverted").

Did Jalopnik ever have any respect, or integrity? Not in my opinion. They're just another cog in the Gawker machine, and because of that, their main focus is to get you to click on an article.

Also, publicly calling out people who have upset them (me, Victorious Secret), is pathetic, and an"Editor" should never do that, ever. I don't care if Jalopnik is a blog, they're cited by other major sources, and they should have a little bit more integrity.

Sure thing. I've watched a lot of hardcore porn in my time (up until a few months ago) - probably days' worth of time logged. Some of it is classy, real classy. Some of it, you can tell that the actress (because that's what it usually is) does just plain not want to be there. Without sounding too dramatic, you can see the pain and humiliation on their faces. And the people behind it can use blackmail, manipulation and drugs to keep people in the business.

Another thing: look at some famous porn stars' backgrounds. For example, Jenna Jameson, said to be the "Queen of Porn", was gangraped when she was 16 and worked as a stripper when she was 18. Incidentally, she was also entered into beauty pageants as a little kid. Same with Traci Lords: raped when she was ten.

Some links.

http://jezebel.com/porn-site-wont…

(no sources here but it seems likely to me. take it as you will:)

http://www.theapricity.com/forum/showthre…

I don't deny that there are porn stars and porn producers who care about being non-abusive, but the truth is, there is a large amount of it in the industry, and every time one watches porn or logs onto Porntubezzers, one inadvertently supports the industry. Long story short, it's good to stick to softcore, or if you must, Scandinavian hardcore (I know it sounds weird but Sweden makes some pretty classy porn as far as that kind of stuff goes).

I don't like knowing a lot about this bullshit, but it messes me up inside, so yeah.

It is funny because now getting a hooker is as easy as a burger—and there is nothing wrong with writing an article about something that is legal elsewhere. Plenty of American's write articles about weed, which is not legal in most places, without ever stating that there's a potential that weed can be addictive or harmful to your health...

KlassicK > Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh 09/04/2014 at 11:49

Because why should they? That's like saying they must put a disclaimer on every article written about a car that can exceed US speed limits—"By having finished this article, you still understand that speeding is illegal and in most states the 65mph mark is as fast as you should go," even if they did not write about going fast.

While they do not specifically state that sex-trafficing is a horrible tragedy in our world, they do present you with facts showing that, maybe, if this brothel is successful, it may help to curb "streetwalkers" and turn "buying sex" into a way more acceptable business, and one that is not full of girls whom are trafficked.

it seems like they are trying to reduce the violence/human traffic side of it and make it safer for the workers to render their services. Now there are a lot of moral issues with the services rendered that I can understand, but they aren't buying people at the drive thrus, just the services as far as I can tell. You can't really say that trying to make something safer is really that bad.

Ladies and gentleman, this is what someone who is butthurt looks like.

Nope, not butthurt. Having issues perhaps? Yeah, I'll admit that.

This is how a complete and utter failure looks like? Yup, I'll admit that as well.

Did I overreact? SIR, YES SIR. And I'll be the first to admit that.

Am I human or am I prancer? Who the fuck knows :)

No Jez-baiting, please.

The best systems are where prostitution itself is legal, but other activities that surround it are illegal (pimping, others living off their earnings, streetwalking, etc). That way, only the prostitutes themselves benefit from it all, rather than the evil violent pimps that steal their money.

In fact, those pimps are directly the result of prostitution being illegal (the hookers won't rat them out to da cops because they'd be incriminating themselves in the process and thus subjecting themselves to jail and shit).

Rhode Island did it right (from 1980-2009).

Ive already said I'm sorry, I made a huge deal out of nothing. How do people end up here? It's been two days since I wrote this, this shit should be waaaay down on the list of stuff posted on Oppo.

And yeah, I do agree with you.

Sorry, I didn't notice the date; I had just found it on the left sidebar today.

No need to be sorry mate :) I just wondered why people keep commenting on my shitty post.

Because of how shitty it was.

I almost never comment, but a post as shitty as yours warranted an exception.

Good. If you're going to be a bitch about everything, we don't you here anyways.

Stop polluting my Oppo.

Oh come on...there are at least 30 states wherein it's common knowledge that saying the word S-E-X causes teen pregnancy.
