We know the onus is on us to take the usual reasonable procautions. Is the place licensed?? Is the license real and current? How many girls have been hired since the lincense?? Are they legal? Fake ID??zydeco said:Actually boo and BigBlack, it IS up to you to make sure you are not dealing with underage girls. Just try to rely on your stated reasoning as a defence - and see how far you get.
Nobody said this! Can you read??? This thread isn't about defenses! I was feeling sorry for a poor guy ( if indeed he thought she was of age) that could be many of us. A few idiots, like yourself left the hooked on phonics package unwrapped last Christmas and have invented the whole defense idea. Nobody advocated that.gala said:you whine about not being able to ID girls as if that gets you off the hook: at the end of the day, YOU TOOK THE CHANCE that she was underage--you go in there knowing that you don't really know.
Ok so you're saying we can't card them....yet the onus is on us right? Stick to a side. How else can we figure out their age? We can't depend on the mp (even licensed) so the onus falls on us again. You think the crooked ones won't claim their girls are legit, and have forged documents with legal ages? Can we look at their licenses? Call the city inspector? Do a DNA check and call up CSIS to be sure?gala said:It HAS to be up to the customer to avoid these things, even though that'll be tough and difficult.
Carding MPA's is not a viable option, though. I doubt many MPA's want to tell you their real name, let alone let you have a look at their ID. A drivers license even has a home address on it--they're not going to show it to you. They risk their own safety if they do.
Ya you don't know. Why would an underaged girl charge the cheapest price. The escort owners / mp ownersknowingly dealing in this tend to charge higher prices because they are rare and in demand. You know about the mileage? Why would a younger girl give more mileage then others? You ASSume a whole lot and know nothing.I don't know, but I bet the guy who got charged went looking for the youngest looking girl with the highest mileage for the cheapest price.
I bet he went into some place that obviously didn't look very reputable to get it, and now he's charged. He took a chance, and he lost the bet.
I'm not willing to take that chance. Who the hell said they are? A serious charge, my government job down the tubes? Where do you get this from? I'm willing to call you an idiot for yet another stupid assumption.You guys who are complaining have all pretty much admitted that you're willing to take the chance too--
You don't even know if the lace was cheap, or how old the girl looked. She could look 25 for all you know. Skanky? Are girls that don't work in the highest end places Skanky?Maybe you have no way to card the girls, and maybe you shouldn't even be able to do that. But you sure as hell can choose where you go: you don't have to go to some skanky hole looking for the cheapest price and highest mileage for the youngest looking girl.
Oh ya. So Tracy lords can fool the world as a 15 year old, and you Gala detective will ask an owner if his place is legit. They all say yes to that you idiot! Can you tell if a license is legit? Can you tell if the mpa's licenses are legit? Do you call the license inspector to ensure this? There's a reasonable line after which you aren't at fault. it ain't ALL YOU as you put it. If it was we'd all be cooked.You could reduce your chances by sticking to reputable places. You could ask the place what they do to make sure the girls are legal. You could exchange notes with other terbites as to whether or not the place seemed to be OK this way.
All the places I go to are licensed. Many offer fs, bbj, golden showers, ect...and are full of foreign girls new to the country. To post warnings you need proof. Your many assumptions could rock a legit owner out of business.gala said:
Checking that the place is licensed is a great way to check that it's reputable. Posting warnings on terb about licensed places that still aren't reputable would also be a good idea.
To a reasonable level it is. You can't "make sure" for sure.zydeco said:Quite apart from the moral issues that have disturbed some here - Actually boo and BigBlack, it IS up to you to make sure you are not dealing with underage girls. Just try to rely on your stated reasoning as a defence - and see how far you get.
gala said:BigBlack, you keep on whining and bitching like there wasn't anything you could do about it. Either you don't think there's a problem that needs solving, or you don't think you have any responsibility to help solve it. You pick through everything I said looking for some excuse not to take some responsibility for this yourself.
I have responded to your point. I take reasonable responsibility. This has been repeated about 20 times although you seem to miss it each time! Need glasses?So far you have never responded to my point: Customers have to take responsibility for this. Nobody else really can.
I've been around the game quite a while . I do all these things. I wouldn't report anything to police UNLESS I HAVE PROOF, YOU IDIOT! You make a ton of clueless assumptions and treat them like FACT! I'm NOT going to CALL THE COPS on half the sp and mp's in the city because they have girls that look underage!Check that the place is licensed. Check what other people think about it on TERB. Talk to the owner and look it over to get some further idea about it. Report here or even to the police if you suspect a girl is underage or not. There is a lot you can do.
If people followed your plan of attack by calling the police everytime they suspected someone was underage ( or NOT?????), you would see busts/raids all over the place (the direct opposite of what you suggest). These raids would make life very stressful for the honest hobbyiests and clients in there.If people did more of that there wouldn't be such a problem, and the police wouldn't be raiding places and making life stressful for all the honest people.
Actually, my sympathies ARE with the guy who got caught in addition to the girl. It's sad for both for different reasons.zydeco said:You know BigBlack - reading through this thread IMO the only absolute certainty comes from Pallydin when he says - it's a complex topic and not one that is black and white. Although I'm sure you're a guy who is vehemently against involving underaged girls or so called sex slaves in all of this, it seems as though your initial sympathies might have been with the fellow who was caught with one. Sounds like that has disturbed a few members out there. Either way, I'm not sure I understand the necessity for the belligerent tone of your posts. It's just a discussion.
Your arguments make no sense whatsoever . Using your reasoning , i'm not sure what that is , it will be our responsibility to be sure nobody is served underage in a bar. Have you never heard of phony id's really . As far as underage girls only in seedy places again wake up. I thought enforcing legal age was up to The L.E. and it still is in spite of what you personally choose togala said:It HAS to be up to the customer to avoid these things, even though that'll be tough and difficult.
Still, it HAS to be customers who take responsibility for this
I don't know, but I bet the guy who got charged went looking for the youngest looking girl with the highest mileage for the cheapest price. I bet he went into some place that obviously didn't look very reputable to get it,
Maybe you have no way to card the girls, and maybe you shouldn't even be able to do that
At the end of the day it IS your responsibility: nobody else can really solve this problem. Only you. The police are going to continue what they're doing until the industry cleans itself up on its own and the problem gets solved--that's where you come in.
SO TRUE ,,, HAPPY HoHoTheNiteHwk said:Don't have time right now to read the report on CP24.com or others or to comment as much as I would like to. But I will say this. If in fact as I heard on BT this morning their purpose in these raids to get to the underage girls and others who are being forced into working then that's all good. The By-law officer stated on TV they did not want to close places down nor was this an attack on MPs to close down the sex industry. Personally I don't care how much manpower and raids it takes... if they get even just one underage girl and are able to help her and protect her... if they get just one lousy pimp who is forcing girls to work... then it is all worth it. As far as what effect it will have being in the news etc... like usual... everybody will forget about it in a couple days. The headlines next week will be something about more broken promises and nobody will even remember this entire affair at all.
More later... VERY busy today.
