Disappointed in You Guys

[Czarcasm]

Its been explained a few times now, anyone worried about privacy has only to create a once of e-mail address on yahoo or gmail or others and put in a made up name, then confirm the pm you will get to that once of email address.

I have signed the petition using my real name and email address.

But in the above quote , you can see why unfortunately the people that matter dont take online polls seriously . They are too easily manipulated , ie i could sign it 10 times in five minutes .

Anyways keep up the good work , i hope it does some good

yes one signiture will save someone

as if eveyone gave there one siginture lives will be saved

if everyone think aw il not bother wots one signiture no one would sign and more escorts will get hurt

No I agree with Apollo1. Anyone could be making up the addresses and signing it. According to your logic you should make up another 10 hotmail addresses and sign it again. And if you don't do it and another escort is attacked then it'll be your fault she was attacked.

I also don't think Patricia should be making suggestions at punters' morality and using the slanderous and nonsense allegations of some journalists about client mentality/behaviour as a political football, it's not OUR fault the industry is like this. Most punters got into it for the services, not taking on the responsibility of trying fight for escorts rights... like if you buy a certain type of drink you don't expect the drink-company to come after you with petitions about their rights afterwards. Punters go to escorts not to be guilt and stress-ridden with it like so many other things, that's what we try to get away from.

Where's the hard evidence anyway for legalising it being so much better for the escorts and not just better for Patricia?

You could sign a paper petition 10 times also if you wanted to on the street. It does not make an online petition any more or any less valid then the old fashioned way. How many elections have been won by manipulating the results even when people vote with paper?

The mightiest nation on earth was gifted to an unworthy winner based on a few chads. We have two wars going on because of that little thing. So nothing is perfect when it comes to any form of mass protest or mass voting either with paper or with electronic means.

She off course is not saying you or anyone else is personally responsible for the actions of another but she is right that people who if they truly care about the safety of those they meet they would sign it regardless of them seeing it as pointless. All change starts somewhere. Obama would not be President if one woman had not refused to give up her seat on a bus, so butterflies can sometimes cause hurricanes further down the line.

No law ever changes itself, it sits there immobile and unyielding until something happens to show just how much an ass that law really is. This situation with the two women arrested shows just how absurd this particular law is and even if this petition is pointless it adds to the body of evidence that may lead in time to this law being changed.

I didnt say the petition was pointless i said it might not make any sort of difference...
But if this petition cares so much about the ladies working in pairs for their own safety why does this site still let "agencies" advertise on this site that are almost certainly run by the lowest of the low pimps and also let other girls advertise on this site as independents who are almost certainly part of these agencies.I think if this site refused this sort of advertising and instead only let true independents advertise on this site i think it would make all the difference as regards people signing this petition in the first place....

No, you couldn't. You have people's names and addresses. You have their signatures. You have accountability.

Maybe for a few signatures you could do it and get away with it, but not for many. It's a big risk for throwing the entire petition's credibility into question for only a small percentage of extra signatures. With an online petition, anyone can throw hundreds of hotmail addresses on it. Putting down your supposed name is one thing, but putting down a name and it's not even yours? Come on, get real.

I wasnt criticising the petition here in fact i think its a good thing , i merely pointing out the stigma attached to online petitions as viewed by those that matter .
I recall many years ago a young irish footballer being voted juve player of the year eventhough he never kicked a ball for first team

Someone could put up a thread here about two flies crawling up a wall and it would get more posts on it in 5 minutes then the number of people who so far have signed this petition so it shows just how much some people really don't give a rats ass about the working conditions of these women but are happy to type away and nit pick something positive into the ground.

You don't need hard evidence to know its better for someone to have the legal option to have another person to call on in the event of a problem.

Its basic common sense of the simplest kind.

So when a paper petition thats 5 foot high is handed in to say the Goverment they verify every sig on it and write a letter to every address to validate that sig?

Come on get real...

Thats not true , just because people havent signed the petition doesnt mean that they dont care about the working girls . They might have several reasons for not signing it.

So if you think that a petition given to the government by a site such as this with the reputation that it has, it will get the government to take it seriously?

Maybe you are the one that should get real and spend some more time in the real world rather then on this site everyday.
