Agree with most of what you've written, though a correction is in order.
I'm not trying to shame agencies that screen. But, I am guilty as charged, with regards informing terbites (especially newbies) about their personal liabilities when paying agencies with EMTs.
I do
try to minimise dealing with exploitative agencies by getting a sense of their ethical compass; but I will admit it's a flawed process built solely on my intuition. I think I used Entourage and Eurodolls in the past (the latter only once)......so, yes, I do have some exposure.
Nontheless, I'm still relieved that I've never used MW. This relief (rather than distance from the problem) was the genesis of my comment "
Thankfully, I have never used these agencies!"
That said, we will agree
to disagree with your statement, "
agencies that screen (clients <--my insertion) are far less likely to ever be busted or involved in other illegal activities". It's so far off the grid that I won't even bother to debate it.
Finally, regarding "
I would cut off my left testicle":
Methinks a one testicle man will be surfing terb in the future.
Any chance that you allow me to wield the knife when that moment arrives?
