*Backpage was featured on CNN recently. Is ECCIE next? :/

[goelie]

I'm surprised there hasn't been a thread discussed on this, or if it has i just haven't seen it lol.

CNN had a pretty big news segment on backpage.com. For those who missed it, Anderson Cooper was pretty much trying to drill the CEO or chairman of the website asking him if he'd admit the site promoted prostitution, in which he declined.

My question is that the backpage site seems to be more on the outlook as of late. Do you all feel that because there are investigators looking into backpage that they'll find out about ECCIE too? Some backpage links do post or discuss

Here's the link on youtube about CNN/backapge

Backpage is on the news because of the Detroit Killings. The connection found between 3 of the 4 ladies found murdered was their ads on Backpage. Such a pity but this is the main reason why I screen everyone I meet and I don't use Backpage.

It's a huge pity. It is a pretty great site for hooking up and i'll be damn disappointed if it goes down

ECCIE has been in the news but usually it is just the local news since ECCIE isn't as widespread as Backpage I am not sure the community will have to deal with national recognition unless on of the owners get in trouble or if an accident happened involving eccie members.


And I am tried of them trying to cut down every resource for prostitution, instead they should be focusing on how to protect sex workers, how to empower themselves buy using screening and learning how to defend themselves or handle themselves in a violent situation. We need to give these girls the power, not wag our finger at them and say "Shame on you, shouldn't be doing this anyways"

We should be giving girls the resources to help them keep themselves as safe as possible in this profession. Not cutting down their money tree, because just like CL and BP another tree will surely sprout in its place.

Although I don't use BP as often as some girls do, I would hate to see the site go down because politicians want to look good for the election year.

If common sense was common a lot of people would be using it. Its more profit to be made by the government if they legalize prostitution than spending money on prosecuting people for victimless crimes. The Bible thumpers and Holier than thou groups will never allow it cos they know their husbands will be hightailing it to the next Escort to make their wildest dreams come true without fear of criminal prosecution. I wonder though will hobbying be as much fun for you guys if it was legal? Would the thrill be gone? or would you just get more wilder.

I agree. All for decriminalization but not care complete legalization.

And when has something being illegal ever stopped a man from sticking his dick in it ? This could apply to a multitude of things.

LOL You are right on that one.

I don't care if it's legal or not I wouuld stick my dick in you. And love every minute it was in you.

Legal or illegal it makes no difference to me other than making sure the ladies I see are careful and watch out for themselves. In protecting themselves from LE issues they also protect me. I have no concern with obeying stupid laws. Nor does it being illegal entice me.
