Hey.. Im just thinking....

We have had for years TOLR arguing and TOBL defending.... up to now, mere hearsay propaganda and ridiculous statistics on behalf of TORL...

Now, for once..... ONCE... an independent body was contracted and actually DID DO a comprehensive study into the real side of prostitution, in Northern Ireland at least. A study that has shown, if not proven, what we all here know to be the REAL facts. Less than 1% coercion, majority doing this business of their free will, tiny minority thinking they need to be "saved"!!!!

I am sick and tired of outlandish, misinformed statistics of gloom and depravity regarding this industry. Susann did a great job in compiling this report... and she was far from showing bias for either camp in her method of questioning as far as I can remember. Surely it is now up to TORL to do their own "independent" study to prove this one wrong or indecisive.

I will await the results with baited breath...

one must understand in life it is irrelevant what the individual thinks. its what the majority think and i think the majority want to see an end to prostitution

[Ladyvonteese]

Believe it or not honey, there are many counties with millions of people in them who really have better things to do in their lives then worry about what the hell joe blog thinks about them and what they get up too. And there are many counties also around the world with millions of people in them who really dont really give a sh*it about someone selling their time or sex, and their governments actually help these sex worker to not only stay safe but also have laws to protect them too.

Its about time Ireland woke up and moved on with the times for all their citizens and at least changed the laws so those working in this business are able to protect themselves instead of coming to see sex working then in the face of the media be so bloody holly!

thats the futility of existence. nobody cares about anything in life. Can you remember the criminal that walked out of the four courts a month ago? No.....because we are too busy living our own lives....

my point is that to the escorts and the clients they will say that the swedish model is bad......but to those who are not escorts and not clients (majority) who have no interest in the sex work, you ask them how do they feel about prostitution as in make a vote. they would vote in favour of the swedish model. This in turn puts pressure on those making the rules.

i would actually say that it would be the female part of the majority that is putting pressure on the government. Ireland now with the high standard of living has more females than ever before in professional jobs and they dislike escorting/prostitutes. The professional man and woman have an ideal method of living and it involves marriage, work, family and a holiday in the sun once a year.

So if this bill becomes law making it illegal for men to pay for sex there will not be many men,especially married men willing to risk being arrested and named and shamed in court and the media,and what will the neighbours think!!! from the escorts point of view there is bound to be a downturn in their business so many girls may decide not to visit Northern Ireland,it will be intresting to see what happens next week.

I kind of agree with this post.
