    Supply would not meet demand in many specific sectors, particularly those that would remain illegal - especially under-age, involving animals and/or involving physical abuse.

    That's quite aside from the other comments regarding the relative supply and demand, and impact on trafficking.

    You may want to consult legal specialists prior to becoming a manager or employer. It will probably save you from financial ruin.

    I work for a multinational and its behaviour in different countries and regimes is very much my business. The specifics of employment law must follow regional legislation, compliance regimes differ but the company remains fully in control of who it does business with, and accountable for the impacts of that business.

    Claiming that the video is evidence of something that it does in fact not show is however fake news.

    This is poisonous behavior.

    Attributing a behaviour to someone with no evidence is pretty poisonous, yes. Perhaps you'd like to provide some evidence instead of berating the person requesting it?

    He may be a cunt but he's definitely part of the news media.

    they should let him plead it down to much less

    Why, so that they get a guilty plea and don't have to actually find, assess and present evidence?

    "Plead guilty and we'll only give you two years, or we'll be pushing for the full ten and a fine that you'll be working for another 8 years to pay off."

    This isn't justice.

    Nonsense. The business degree I have had the second highest A level requirements to get onto it of any course at the university. Maths was the only one higher. The degrees offered by the computer science department weren't even close.

    All courses want the top students. A good university is going to have A grade students taking most of its degrees, whichever department they're in.

    guys thing that supper and a few drinks entitles them to sex

    I suspect most guys don't think that at all.

    Of course, women that let a man buy them dinner and a few drinks because they wants a free dinner and some drinks and have every intention of telling him to fuck off are nothing to admire either.

    Women that refuse to sleep with a man because he invited them to share the costs of dating deserve to die lonely too.

    Yeah, I can understand a man expecting women to be a little more honest and sharing. Luckily these days that's more frequently the case.

    Yep, I want to see a prosecution on this one.

    If a private individual tried to do this to assure that their government is secure they'd be seeing jail time. DHS have to obey the law too.

  13. I stopped reading at your very first alleged quote. It's a misquote, it ignores his full statement which in context is factually correct. It is not racist.

    It's exactly shit like that which has done the damage. Pull your had out of your arse and try and provide some objective accurate facts. Shit, you may even have had some in that list but since you threw away all your credibility at the outset I'm not wasting my time trying to find out.

  14. Re:Ok with porn or not, that was genuinely stupid on Drupal Event Apologizes For Giving Out Copies Of Playboy (drupalcamp.de) · · Score: 1

    The problem comes when e.g. nude photographs are considered sexist, as it allegedly exploits women who thus have to be protected from, e.g. earning an income by posing for photographs.

    I'm sure some gender studies professor can tell me six different ways in which this isn't undermining those women but if they had actual intelligence they'd be a professor in something academic, so I'll mostly ignore them anyway.

  15. Sadly less informed, I fear.
    https://policyexchange.org.uk/... is worth a read - despite the Guardian writing it off as right-wing the Exec Summary basically says Muslims in the UK are mainly differentiated from other British people by their higher willingness to participate in society.

  16. a proudly racist campaign

    I keep hearing this, but no real evidence to support it. A lack of diplomacy, sure, but that doesn't make him objectively wrong.

    This is why it's fucking hiliarious that he won. All these people bleating on about racism, not realising that their misuse of the word has caused half the population to start ignoring it.

    Trump may or may not be racist. I personally think he probably is, but that's a gut feel and not based on evidence. Unfortunately the media didn't bother to look for that evidence, they just started throwing the accusations around. Feels to me that you are too.

  17. They exist solely to make money by any legal means.

    I think you'll find their Articles of Incorporation state the purpose of their existence.

    It may or may not include making money.

  19. employers wanted Visual Studio for their C++ programmers

    So basically the college has no interest in giving students an education, just in training people up for a job?

    Teach someone how to program in C++ and they can use any fucking IDE. Visual Studio takes about 20 minutes to learn and a couple of weeks to get full up to speed, during which time other work is being done.

    The dean had everyone boot into Linux and taught the C++ class with gcc instead

    Thus proving this could have been done all along.

    No, because nobody has no power. And peope do attack groups not considered to be minorities. E.g. Feminists posting #killallmen

    If that's not good enough for you, look at incarceration rates by gender. Incontrovertible evidence that men are discriminated against.

    So not new at all, just glibly ignored by the special interest groups and the media.

  24. Is cupcake meant to be an insult?

    I think it's a compliment. Who wouldn't want to be thought a fluffy self contained treat that's sweet and the ladies find tasty?

    Count me in!

  25. No, discrimination does not require a power imbalance. Stop talking utter fucking shit.

    Not to mention your inherent contradiction: "The media [...] have little to no power" means you're staying that Breitbart has little to no power. Even under your fucked up interpretation of discrimination it would count.

    Summary: go and get an education before posting such nonsense in the future
