Who would be stupid enough to advertise their illegal operation on the "Erotic Services" portion of this website? Duh! Did you NOT think you would get caught??

Internet escorting is actually legal in Canada (although the pimping part is not).

Article: ""It comes down to someone being a good citizen," he said."

Since when do businesses practice good or responsible citizenship? They're in the business of making money. End. of. story.

I would never use craigs list. there is NO means of security. You can buy and sell safely on Ebay... I mean look at the people last week posting fake goods for sell on the NON erotic site.. they posted about selling something and then murdered/car jacked etc the people. Here you are thinking you are buying a chair and bam. NEVER hear about that on EBAy or the other sites....

With the exception of a couple of comments like the last one, the discussion here sinks almost to the level of AOL chat. Blame it on the topic, I guess.

okay for the men saying prostitution should be legal, you guys are sick. First off std's would be 8 out of 10! the ranks are already high! second money making will attract younger girls thus bring forth exploitation of the innocence and further purversing the minds of our next generations. Not a world I would like to raise my children! What happened to peoples values and respect?
