Craigslist should not have sold out to this modern moral minority. This modern minority sect are tiny in numbers but they are scream loudly to get attention with all of their rage.

Europe and even Canada are way more progressive on these issues. But then again, they also are more progressive on health care too.

It’s 2010, not 1959. I know Amber Lyon, the Palins, and the Republican party would like it to be 1959 again. You know, when there were racial labeled bathrooms, no pro-choice, and just no freedom of choice at all.

Know your rights.

The Bureau of Justice Statistics reports that between jan 2007 and sept 2008, a period of almost 2 years, there were 391 allegations of child sex trafficking.

less than 10% were confirmed.

Please, Amber Lyon, contact the police if you somehow have knowledge of 100,000 children being trafficked every year in the us for the purpose of prostitution.

1) LAWSUIT CRAIGSLIST V. EBAY WAS JUST HEARD IN DELAWARE AND SENT BACK TO CALIFORNIA FOR FURTHER LITIGATION.

2) Craigslist is suing Ebay (aka Meg Whitman) for typical corrupt business dealings but more important antitrust type activities.

3) MEG WHITMAN just started her election campaign in California and CANNOT let any publicity of dishonest business leadership at Ebay hit the press.

4) SOLUTION? - Paint Craigslist as a proliferator of prostitution, esp. child prostitution, and dirty seedy “internet company”. This way, the real story of Big Ebay “bullying” community-based Craigslist will be repositioned as Ebay (led by Meg Whitman) is the hero and even offered to help put this “dirty” craigslist bunch on the straight path.

5) REPUBLICANS ARE SMART - DEMOCRATS ARE IDIOTS: Right or wrong, the Republicans (esp. the Tea Baggers) are effectively using the media to turn a wrong into a right. There’s nothing wrong with this. What’s wrong is that many educated Americans, (esp. in Silcon Valley) can’t see through the very visible crap!!!

BTW- Amber might as well work for Fox News as she just pulled off the biggest Republican premptive strike against Meg Whitman.

1. In your follow up you site the “scientific study” done by The Schapiro Group. http://www.womensfundingnetwork.org/sites/wfnet.org/files/AFNAP/TheSchapiroGroupGeorgiaDemandStudy.pdf DID YOU EVEN READ IT? This entire study is a joke! If you did read it then you are either DUMB or you don’t care about the truth.

2. Why did you not include a single Sex Workers Rights Advocate in your series of “interviews? If you had you might find out that
-a. traffickers will just go somewhere else and police will have to look for them AGAIN!
-b. Now many sex workers are going to have to take to the dangerous streets that didn’t before but what do you care right honey? They’re just WHORES right?

3. Why would you help destroy a “catalog” for missing and exploited children? In your follow up you interviewed a woman who said she found her missing daughter BECAUSE SOMEONE CAME ACROSS HER ON CRAIGSLIST AND TOLD THE MOTHER!

But hey…you got your big break honey. Good luck!

Anyone who wants to watch a video I did on this issue here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9kupjqywoc

I Have an idea! CNN should ambush the Pope about all those priests who were in positions of trust that RAPED, and MOLESTED young boys.

I am a mother of 2 children living in an upscale suburb of Atlanta. Like many MILLIONS OF AMERICANS I lost my job as a secretary of 8 years at a construction company. I soon found Craigslist and was able to make a living rather than become a burden to society by collecting unemployment or taxpayer money on welfare. Yes, I did pay taxes as I actually have an ESCORT License as required in my city. It was my choice to use my body the way I wanted to and I was never degraded in anyway. Most of my clients were normal, traveling, respectful men who were looking to spend time with a woman NOT A CHILD.

Humans will do what Human nature requests. I would hate to see someone vulnerable be taken advantage of because a man was not able to find an adult female to meet up with. I’m so dissapointed in you Craigslist for allowing the Media to dictate your morals and mine. I would be more than willing to sit down with Amber and tell my side of the story in using Craigslist. As of right now I cannot find a regular job such as the one I had for 8 years. No one can, have you seen the unemployment rate? To make matters worse, I am now struggling to make ends meet because the choice was made for me. I cannot use Craigslist to post in the Adult section because its immoral (Sarcasm).

I was never able to post pictures that were too revealing sometimes even my pictures at the beach were rejected. I can speak from experience in trying to post my ad on Craigslist that my attempts to post were rejected many times. I have seen other websites where nude pictures are allowed and girls specifically say they are GFE. I guess business will now boom for Escort Agencies (The legal Pimps) and other websites whom in the past did not come close to being an empire like Craigslist.

Hey Craigslist, Since you don’t care about the effect it has had on your 122 million dollar a year revenue, Can you give me a job at your office in San Francisco? I don’t know where to find a job now. Believe me, I have been looking there aren’t too many companies hiring.
