    Here in Italy, an extremely high percentage of prostitutes are essentially Russian women who are slaves to crime organizations.

    And that's just Berlusconi's women!

    Why don't you suggest that people should think about the moral implications of paying fast food workers to get them their food?

    Cool story bro time.

    Several years ago, in my early twenties, myself and two friends went to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. Drinking in our hotel room before going out on Bourbon St, we thought, heh, lets post on Craigslist and see who is out there. So we posted in the mm4w section (use your imagination for what we wrote). I kid you not, within 30 seconds, we started receiving emails. The first one was from someone who wrote "Since its Mardi Gras, you boys should have no problem finding what you're looking for, but if you're looking for a late-40's tranny, you let me know".

    Scariest. Craigslist. Experience. Ever.
