Anyone want to go to Amsterdam for the weekend?

Been there. Done that? Won't say.

At one time I would have agreed with you that it's a victimless crime, but not anymore. While many of the women might be willing accomplices in this act, unfortunatley it seems that many of them are being forced into this activity by individuals who've smuggled them into the U.S. & now force them to work as prostitutes--some of these women are as young as 12. BTW: I understand from a news report that Atlanta has more young girls (most of these girls are either illegal immigrants or runaways). But when girls are as young as 12 that's not prostitution that's pedophile (sp?) and just as wrong as kidnapping a young girl or child and using her for that purpose.

you mean pedophilia

and there was a news report here in Maryland the other day, where even parents are pimping their children, so yes, prostitution is very shady nowadays

I hope it wasn't that old hooker from My Name is Earl.

 

[silverbear]

why do pro athletes have to buy hookers? as if they couldnt get laid without paying? all they have to do is walk in any night club anywhere and say im in the nfl, and the women will line up, i know...from experience...i swear

Been picked up by a few NFL players, have you?? :

It's a little known fact that Canal Street in Amsterdam is where the phrase "red light district" (referring to areas where prostitution is rampant) came from...

Way back in the later 60s, the family was living in Germany, Dad was in the Army... my Mom had two sisters and assorted cousins come over to visit us one summer, and we all went to Amsterdam... one evening, as we were all settling in to call it a night, Dad took me out to see Canal Street... he'd heard about it, wanted to see it, but figured Mom wouldn't be too thrilled if he went by himself, LOL... and since I was 15, he correctly figured I might find it interesting... ticked off my little brother big time, he was 13 then himself...

Well, Canal Street used to be a series of small shops, that had been converted into mini-brothels... the girls would sit in these shop windows in assorted lingerie, with a price tag around their ankles (I swear, I'm not making this up)... behind them, there was a curtain, a bed, and a washstand...

And a red light...

When the sailors came up to the window, and checked out the price tag, they'd tap on the window, and if the girl didn't think he looked TOO seedy, she'd nod at him... he'd go in the side door, she'd get up and draw the curtain, and turn out that red light...

For maybe 15-20 minutes, tops...

Between that trip down to Canal Street and a stop in a hash house, Amsterdam was more of an educational experience than I think my folks had intended for me to have on that vacation...

and since I was 15

when was this? back in '48?

we were supposed to go to Amsterdam for our Senior trip

foiled

but at least Europe wasn't a total waste, I drank beer right outside the Vatican and watched this dumb kid wash his face in the holy water lol

 

[bbgun]

I've never understood why prostitution is illegal but acting in pornos is aok. Both involve trading sex for money.

Cardinals officials said they planned to release a statement on Anderson's arrest.

The Bears are who we thought they were; but that undercover agent? Man, we didn't think she was who we thought she was.

Anderson nabbed

Cardinals assistant booked for soliciting prostitution

Posted: Friday March 9, 2007 6:04PM; Updated: Friday March 9, 2007 7:38PM
PHOENIX (AP) -- Former NFL running back Richie Anderson, now an assistant coach with the Arizona Cardinals, was arrested during a Phoenix police anti-prostitution operation.
Anderson, 35, was arrested at about 9:30 p.m. Thursday for soliciting prostitution at about 9:30 p.m., Sgt. Andy Hill said. The department's vice unit was conducting an undercover sting operation in south Phoenix when Anderson allegedly solicited an officer posing as a prostitute.
Ken Whisenhunt, the Cardinals new head coach, hired Anderson as wide receivers coach in January. He played 13 seasons in the NFL with the New York Jets and Dallas Cowboys. He was a 2000 Pro Bowl selection while with the Jets and holds the team record for receptions by a running back at 305.
He retired as a player after the 2005 season and spent 2006 as an assistant wide receivers and tight end coach with the Jets.
"The team has been made aware of the situation regarding Richie Anderson," the Cardinals said in a statement Friday afternoon. "We are in the process of gathering additional information and will comment further when we have done that."
