Yesterday morning I was a happy girl, until I read this small article…
http://techcrunch.com/2010/09/03/craigslist-censored-adult-section-comes-down/
Peruse at your leisure, but for the sake of time here’s the synopsis. They want to BAN the erotic ads on Craigslist. Now due to a no fault clause I have with Obama... i'mma have to blame all this on the Republicans.
Let me stand on my political soap box for a few minutes and explain to you how why this is not a good idea..
Hungry kids…
Do you know how many children will go hungry because mommy wasn’t able to promote her “services” and in turn put food on the table? Do we really want Sarah McLoughlin to create an even sadder commercial using hungry looking American kids instead of dogs on death row?
More people in the welfare line…
Mom’s who can’t work, go on welfare. Have you ever been to a Super WalMart on the 1st of the month when the welfare checks clear? It’s a nightmare. But I guess since all republicans shop at Trader Joe’s they wouldn’t know anything about that, now would they?
Drop-outs
Without the avenues previously available to advertise, you’re gonna see a huge drop out in the nursing/medical assistant schools. We need nurses, have you ever stayed long term in a hospital. You never see the doctors! They show up, give you bad news, “examine” you in very private places then bounce. It’s the nurses who actually “nurse” you to health. We desperately need skilled nurses and you obviously know women with their talents have great hand and eye coordination and practically no gag reflex, which comes in handy when dealing with patients who smell bad.
Catholic Church
Yes, I will admit, where’s there’s a “sexual entrepreneur” advertising her “services” online, there is a 80% chance that there’s drugs involved somewhere in that equation. Whether she’s on it, her pimps on it or her clients are frequent users you never know. Could be none, one or all of the above, but think about this, many of the dollars that go into the drug trade are "washed" or laundered through totally legit channels. Unicef, good will, your shady uncle who just showed up with a bunch of presents for Christmas that one year all thanks to your local drug lord. Also, how would the Catholic church survive without the "guilt" offerings/donations they receive from Mexican drug lords each year.
So to my sexual entrepreneurs offering “body on body massages” in the privacy of your rented motel room i.e. “headquarters” raise your head high. To imjustdoingthistillimfamous@verizon.net or Craigslist Reply jnck-99872938@craigslist.org ... I'll miss you. So what a few serial killers came in and messed up the whole gig. I know the erotic section on Craigslist started as a marketplace for freedom. We can’t let them take this site down, doing so means that we let the terrorist win. Just know we’re all out their fighting for your right to live the American dream.
