And the sites keep falling

Sorry about the typos, doing this on a phone

Craigslist's personals have been gone for about 2 weeks now. It was like the first domino in all of this.

Crazy what's going on. I thought the Republicans were about less government intrusion. Bizarre given our culture.

self righteous prudes... with a pc agenda.

^^^These ain’t Republicans these are a bunch of absolute dictators you guys have been voting for. Democracy is compromise at its best, these fucking racist bastards think they can tell everyone how to live. You idiots got exactly what you voted for, now maybe some of you jackasses will finally get it, but somehow I doubt it’s going to register with the folks that are the most at risk.

+1 twentyfive

I read It was just the personal section on craigslists, not the entire site. As far as how everyone voted here, I doubt if everyone voted here for the opposing candidate that anything would have changed. It may be nice to think our little group has that much power but I seriously doubt it. The Russian hackers know how to manipulate the numbers more than any of us. We only get to pretend our vote matters. Maybe it does if you live in a state where the vote is close.

My vote had no effect on who won. It's silly to think this little group changed the election. Maybe if someone here hacked election results though it could have made an impact. If the people aren't happy in the next election, incumbents lose big time.

FYI, I expect the markets will drop big time when the people find out China is not negotiating with the trump administration and trump thinks China will cave in and goes through with a trade war. China I believe is willing to fight a trade war and wait for trump to not be elected. A democrat will likely pop into office after a bad recession if trump pushes it that far. China has the resources and no election to worry about. Remember we have idiots in office who think they are smart.

@LoneWolf: " I thought the Republicans were about less government intrusion."

The bill did pass with huge bipartisan support 98-2, so it's hard to blame solely on the Republicans. I doubt much thought or debate went into the voting process; it's hard to vote against a bill with "Stop enabling Sex Trafficking" in the title, and that's probably why it passed.

I'm trying my best to keep an open mind. There are a few simple questions you could ask:

(1) Do we even maintain reliable nationwide data on trafficking?
(2) Is there any clear evidence that these websites have caused an increase in trafficking?
(3) If these websites are abolished, will we have reliable data to show that the bill and the strategy worked?

I bet the answer to the first two questions is "no" and that we won't have any reliable data to answer question (3).

Wondering if 2 random attempted FaceTime calls this evening could be related to this. Looked like female names but I'm not answering FaceTime calls after midnight from strangers. I've had this number about a year and never had unknown attempted FaceTime calls. Anyone else?
Reminds me of living somewhere with a new phone number about 20 years ago and coming home and finding a summons on my door knob. Had my address but someone else name. Cops didn't even bother to check the name at the address. They just used last known phone number of someone else. I had the phone number for a year or 2 at the time.

Never mind. Blocked numbers. Don't know them. It's like a 2amer text message.

I did see that rubmaps was back up. Seriosly slow however

Shit, even TJamigos is down.

i think tja is letting the dust settle before being available again. maybe some editing happening too. although i haven’t seen anything suspect. i’ll check it again this afternoon when i get to cascadas. maybe it is still available in the land of good times.

RM has been up and down, and when it's up it's often very slow. It's down again right now. Sigh.

TwoSheds :'(

Twosheds? Wow...I hope we dont lose this too : (

I think the sticking point is the removal of legal protections for websites that "unlawfully promote and facilitate prostitution."

Nobody yet knows how that provision will ultimately be interpreted by LE and the courts, but I doubt that many want to get into the kind of legal battle necessary to find out.

I think tuscl will be fine. Strip clubs are legal. Though in the future it might be a good idea for members to avoid linking specific acts with specific dancer names. I suspect twosheds felt that it was on shakier ground given what it had devolved into.

Strip clubs are legal but some activities performed in them are not

South Carolina politicians are working on proposing bills to protect gun rights up to seceding from the US. Civil war might restore freedoms but cause an economic depression until we get rid of debt and civil war fighting. I expect California and New York would be against most of the rest of the country. Maybe prostitition could get legalized. I doubt it though. If I was fighting for the free states of the US side though, might be instructed to get it on if we want while invading liberal states. Actually that would be a disaster. Strip clubs would be dead unless far from the front lines and a civil war in a country with nukes and tons of guns, a shtf scenario when invading.

On the bright side, a war between The Free States of the US versus the old US with no rights might restore freedoms or eliminate all federal laws in The Free States. The bad would probably include global war as the US said everyone else in the world, your on your own.

Everyone could use South Carolinas new currency in strip clubs if us cash is done away with. We have to have a new currency or start using Chinese or the euro if we secede. California might join the free states side if it meant no more federal law.

This new law about trafficking, not enforced or valid anymore. FYI, no one thinks gun rights will be eliminated while trump is president. Just trying to think what politicians are thinking of. I did read a town in Illinois or somewhere eliminated gun rights. Democrats are going at 2nd amendment rights non stop and trump. I bet they think this web site shut down is a side show before it gets really bad.

my goal is moving to mexico when i sell off my usa assets. that has been my eventual goal for the past few years. my version of margeritaville.

switter.at is thriving

oh. tj amigos ain't working here in tijuana either.

@ Orionsmith, are you another sharkhunter account?
