Do we have any obligations here?

[Alchemist2u]

I fully anticipate a flurry of negative comments and maybe a ban, BUT, have you read any of the stories on today's events in Saint Tony? See, for example, https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2017/07/23/texas-tragedy-8-dead-including-children-found-locked-in-hot-truck-in-suspected-smuggling-case/?hpid=hp_hp-more-top-stories_pn-texas-9am%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_ter m=.82f6c70adc74
or Google 'San Antonio trafficking' . While I am sure that no one here advocates this activity, in a sense, we help to create the interest. Just saying,

Was the trailer full of hookers, or people coming here illegally!?

[kbro]

I think your connection of causes and effects is off. I also don't see how you can be sure no one here advocates the activity.

I didn't read anything about sex trafficking. They were probably migrant workers. If u eat fruits or veggies then yes a little responsibility

[Alchemist2u]

OK, I jumped the gun when I read the word trafficking and inserted a three letter word in front of it, Point accepted.

No. It has a broad definition. I thought u meant as hobbyists do we have responsibility. Seeing as how migrant/illegals/children pick our crops we do have some responsibility. Our country has some very strict child labor laws yet a good portion of our crops are picked by children. We frown upon countries using sweat shops to make our clothes but it's ok to have of sweatshops on farms

My thoughts are:

As for obligations, we all have free will to utilize this board. I like to be made aware when a client visits a provider who he thinks may be being pimped out.

Obligations off the board to tend to these things: hell yes - as a society as a whole.

Moral obligation regarding supply and demand and all the other aspects of the business- I think many men struggle with it. I know it has always been difficult for me morally even though I seem to do it well.

Women don't grow up saying they want to be an escort.

I once knew a person who scheduled with me knowing that I was well deep into the community; He was looking for information about his adult daughter who had landed in this line of work.
