Isn't that what the election was about a month ago?

Wonder if Miss Erica can shed some light on this... though I think she prefers gold and silver coins.

'civvie' on Craigslist? My only recollection of Tokyo were lots of cards in phone booths as previously mentioned. But no action. Good question.

I'm struggling on this one... SilkLover's idea is pretty close, but I see that as accompanying sex. However, if I'm well-satiated with the object of this question, then SilkLover's idea is probably a good one. And Sybian's chocolate ice cream idea is also good with appropriate semi or totally...

it would be nice to think this is really the case, but I doubt it. In the instance here the advert has been linked to a particular individual as being genuine, and my read of the discussions suggest she probably is doing this of her own free will. I don't know how widespread this is or whether...

Yep. I certainly see that argument as well. How do we know how many of them are engaging in unsafe services of their own free will? From having travelled a bit, and being surprised at the number who openly advertise unsafe services in other parts of the world, I suspect a reasonable portion are...

They think differently than we do. They see a coming apocalypse or armageddon, and they are trying to hasten the process. Drawing the Chinese in supports their twisted ideology of what the end game is.

Isn't honesty in advertising what everyone wants? It is a double-edged sword, but at least they are clear as to their offerings so potential clients can make an informed choice. I'm really of two minds with this one...

Good luck on getting them to stop. There are a surprising number (almost always Asian) advertising any number of things on LeoList that suggest some form of unsafe service (use your imagination, some are more explicit than others). And I'm not sure that this thread will be allowed to continue...

And your mental health is no doubt better for it. Good on ya. Though you would have problems in some of my classes as a result. I tend to be with you on the food comments as well, though i'm not as particular on buying organic food. GMO cross-species is a scary experiment, and very large food...

I'm too short to be a cop, and I don't like short hair... though some of it seems to have been disappearing on top, so no danger of me being suspected of being one :)

To shift the discussion back to terrorism and extremism (not that water, or the lack of it, isn't an important component), this article is interesting as it outlines an interview with a prisoner who was part of ISIS...

There will be continuing major investment into water desalination plants all over the world. Saudi Arabia is big on this, but expect this to be the case in many other countries. One of the reasons that Singapore has had an extremely well-equipped military with advice from Israel (among others)...

I understand where you are coming from based on your experience growing up. It is a "wicked problem" (I teach about these), that requires a carefully thought-through solution. Extremism in this sense has come in, in part, via the internet. Closing borders would do nothing. FLQ in Quebec was...

Michael Zehaf-Bibeau was a drug-addicted, homeless man, born in Canada. He spent a number of years fighting drug addiction and homelessness, and there were questions over his mental health. He was trying to get a Canadian passport to go to fight with ISIS. Closing the borders and stopping...

All tourism should be stopped as well without full security checks, with this kind of argument. But then, what do you do with all of the potential domestic terrorists? Lock up all young men from the age of 18 to 30, just in case? It is what is called a "wicked problem," which requires more...

That is the reason for Bill C-51, but is that legislation the best way to counter the threat? I would suggest not. Maybe some aspects of the legislation does have some merit (greater coordination and information-sharing between agencies), but a lot of it is misguided and potentially dangerous...

It's a guest lecture for a university class tomorrow morning... and about a different topic than the sex industry. So... not open to the public I'm afraid... :( I wouldn't be advertising my public speaking gigs here as it would also reveal my identity ;) Sorry... not that I have public gigs...

Doing some research for a guest speaking gig and came across this. May be of interest (and relevance) to some here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpZbu7J7UL4

Hmmm... I think there is a range of more ethical and less ethical behaviour in any profession, and you can't put everyone into the same category. Think of some of the abuse that happens by cops (shooting children as they chase a car, such as recently in the US), but many of them go out of their...
