Many of San Francisco's Asian massage parlors -- long an established part of the city's sexually permissive culture -- have degenerated into something much more sinister: international sex slave shops.

Once limited to infamous locales such as Bombay and Bangkok, sex trafficking is now an $8 billion international business, with San Francisco among its largest commercial centers.

San Francisco's liberal attitude toward sex, the city's history of arresting prostitutes instead of pimps, and its large immigrant population have made it one of the top American cities for international sex traffickers to do business undetected, according to Donna Hughes, a national expert on sex trafficking at the University of Rhode Island.

I am completely sure this has nothing to do with tolerating EVERYTHING possible from death-seeking male homos....

Let's see: a liberal city on the coast (Pacific Rim), and there's sex trafficking going on?

Who'd a thunk it?

Liberalism leads to crime. The DNC is the party of the criminals. They send ballots to jails, and the vast majority of criminals vote "Democratic".

I'm surprised that a city run by sexual degenerates and those who coddle them would allow this sort of thing.... /sarc

"I had no idea this was going on here."

You are kidding right? I was there last week. My daughter knew of the massage polars with "Happy Ending" provided. Its no secret that they exist.

San Francisco is also the home of the 9th Circus Court. It's a good idea for California to keep all of their sewerage in one spot.

There is an interesting book on San Francisco during the gold rush - one story was on an Asian lady that had a hole in her door, with a guy out front, the men would pay him $5 to watch her for 10 minutes in her undergarments through the hole. This is hardly news.

Moral Absolutes Ping.

Couple things:

1. Prostitution is bad enough (except for the liberaltarians among us).

2. This is apparently not just about voluntary prostitutes, but those forced into prostitution.

3. Considering the many articles posted on FR about girls and women forced into prostitution in Europe and the Philippines (as well as other Asian countries like Nepal and India) this is apparently a not uncommon crime; in fact the prostitution "industry" seems to overlap the "sex slave" industry.

and

4. When predatory and casual/meaningless sexual behavior is considered socially acceptable, all manner of extreme and vicious sexual crimes is an inevitable outcome.

Freepmail wagglebee and/or me if you want on/off this pinglist.
