I never, ever heard that before.

First. I didn't mean to imply that it happened in America.

Second. The war was over and I never heard of or saw post-war USO activities "over there."

Now that you've read my story, let me assure you that young brothers were pimping their sisters "over there."

Third! I was there and I saw it.

Fourth! Don't think it will never happen in a scorched ObamaLand.

Merely posing the question of whether politicians cause greater harm.

Well, the prostitute's 'harm' can usually be cured with a massive injection of antibiotics..................

“The ‘legal’ age in Canada is 14. Is that close enough?”

That is (or was - it’s been raised to 16) is the legal age of consent for sexual relations, and there are a number of restrictions regarding relationships where the older person is in a position of power or influence, for example teachers, Scout leaders, etc.

I don’t know if that means we are now in the same absurd position as some US states where two 15 year olds having consensual sex could both be charged with statutory rape (or something similar), or a 16 year old sleeping with their 15 year old boy/girl friend faces being declared a sex offender for life.

Sad that Canada is becoming a gangster state with our own nation not far behind.

"Don’t lump us all in with some idiot liberals in Ottawa. A lot of us are freedom loving, God fearing strong conservatives."

Yep. As with the most influential constituents down here, they sponsor the politicians and media while filling judicial positions with their relatives. They make it easy for their own kind and their international slaves to live where they like while making it more difficult for common Americans and Canadians to immigrate within our own culture for family reasons.

Canada is way behind us. We had Elvis and Jerry Lee outdoing this stuff half a century ago.

Bear in mind that SCOTUS Justices Breyer and Ginsburg believe that our SCOTUS should be guided by the decisions of the courts of other nations. Applying that “standard,” SCOTUS might encourage and legalize such prostitution as is practiced by Reid, McConnell, Durbin, Cornyn, Blumenthal, Boehner, Pelosi, Cantor, McCarthy, and their ilk.

Well, then in the case of sexual depravity, we’d be wise to follow the wisdom of Russia as of late.

I”m certain there are many conservatives in Canada, and I wish them well in what should be an interesting political struggle.

I’m waiting for the APA(Affordable Prostitute Act).

I expect that all of my current prostitutes will have to quit as they don’t provide the minimum required services.

Oh, Canada... our understanding down in the states is that the top 3 professions are French-speaking hockey players, queer lumberjacks, and 14 year-old hookers.

One thing I’ve learned from CSI and Criminal Minds is that prostitutes very seldom die of old age.

In most of the US the age of consent is 16, but I think a few are still 14.
