Let me tell you...I was in Honolulu for a meeting and went to a bar late...really late...and we were drinking and we start chatting up these beautiful girls...we are thinking we are making some progress when the question of money comes up...what? The point here...is that these girls were smoking hot...and making a damn good living in the oldest profession in history. I really thought i was on my game too. Lastly...i'm a germaphobe, it ain't happening for me.

Yea, take a trip to vegas.

We stood in line for an hour to get into a club and this super hot shy sweet milf was in line in front of us, flirts, makes small talk, talks about her kids, asks us if she can sit with us inside until her friends arrive and then everyone drinks for an hour or so and then she takes a 0-5 opportunity to get one of us to say, what the hell and pay $500 for her services the rest of the night. Ive never felt so...embarrassed or sleezy to be propositioned. Ill stand firm in life that i dont need sex that bad lol She doesnt have anything that i havent seen before lol Well...you know what i mean.

If a girl smiles at you for no reason in Vegas as you are walking through a casino, you arent THAT cute, if you turn and look back she just got a nibble and she's gonna be on your heel in a secomd to try to reel you in....haha its still fun to be in vegas tho...

I suppose a man who struggles with talking to ladies might fall victim....i'm no purist , but paying for sex for money is never going to be me....i dont like to charge haha jk

Doesn't mean a damn thing. It is just the Brady haters at work. Read the guys background. He works at it nearly like Gable did at wrestling. 99.9% of people will not dedicate themselves to their work like that. And Gable was just out of the stratosphere in his regimen.

If Tommy needed deflated balls to win then why even older now is he still winning and in fact just won the Super Bowl? I am not a Patriots fan at all, but I do appreciate hard work, discipline and dedication to getting better. And in football people cheat every damn game and almost every play and that is why there are refs there and call penalties. Some people intentionally do stuff and sometimes shit just happens bang bang. A CB grabs a receiver to prevent a TD, is that cheating or is that smart football play? It is in the rule book so that CB knows he is breaking rules. The deflated football deal is the biggest fing farce.

You're assuming Tommy is/was the only one doing it... I thought I'd heard Carson Palmer had been doing it back when he played. Tommy was just unfortunate to get caught in a public way. I don't think it's a big deal if they do it or not. If it helps QBs be accurate then great. So long as they all can play by the same rules it's all good.

Sorry, didn't read the article to realize trafficking is involved. If prostitution was legalized, would trafficking increase or decrease? (honest question, don't know the answer)

This is a really tough question - on one hand trafficked workers could have a lower price because the workers are paid so little, if at all when compared to legal workers, so they would definitely still exist. The said pimps of them would have a competitive price advantage, but if they implemented some type of license to practice it could weed out illegal traffic rings. Legalizing it, taxing it, and using the proceeds to reduce illegal elements should reduce trafficking in theory. God I feel dirty just thinking about the economics of it =/

Agree 100%

The idea that if you regulate it, it will get cleaned up is appealing. People are using the same rationale for the strong push towards legalizing sports gambling. However, most evidence suggests that if gambling moves from underground to above ground, there is a huge surge of involved money. And the additional corruption spurred by the additional corruption seems to outweigh what can get cleaned up by regulation. I don't know much about any of this, I am just quoting what I read from ESPN's recent Tim Donaghy piece.

To take this thread completely tangential, in that piece Donaghy is quote (second hand) as saying he can affect a point spread up to 6 pts in either direction without being completely obvious. I thought that was interesting in relation to Fran's "cheating MFker!" claim in a game the Hawks lost by 20. Might want to pick your battles more judiciously, there might have been some matters in his own house he should have been worrying about a bit more at that point.

Yeah I could see that happening too, throwing money at something doesn't necessarily improve it. If done correctly, they could have regular meetings with the business owners/girls themselves to make sure everything was above ground. Paid sex with trafficked individuals would still be illegal of course. Having done no research at all that was the best I could come up with it. It's an incredibly complex situation but I fell that it's nearly impossible to compare it to any other industry, such as sports gambling and marijuana IMO because people are the product for sale.

I think it's disgusting but to ignore it won't make the problem go away, prostitution has always and will always exist. I can't think of anything worse that being a person who is being trafficked/used/abused and wish something more could be done. If legalizing prostitution helps, it's something to consider.
