| Message Board > Controversy and Quarantine > hookers |
| Oh well... User Info... | I just have to wonder why every where i go lately, I see hookers asking if i want a good time or just standing there being hookers. It ruins my day. Can't they do any thing else? - Wed, 3 Mar 2004 11:26am | ||
| ROSS B AY User Info... | Why would you think they'd do anything else? - Wed, 3 Mar 2004 11:58am | ||
| Rubber Box User Info... | I think they can do drugs - Wed, 3 Mar 2004 12:09pm | ||
| Gman User Info... | It ruins your day?!? Maybe you're just a little too sensitive there, holmes. - Wed, 3 Mar 2004 2:47pm | ||
| The Queen User Info... | OH WELL? It ruins YOUR day??? Try imagining for a second what THEIR day has been like. I am sure they just love standing out in the pouring freakin' rain waiting for some loser John to come along and do who knows what to them...just to make a few measly dollars. Instead of whining about how it brings you down, try thinking about how down they must feel. - Wed, 3 Mar 2004 4:52pm | ||

| new-wave dave User Info... | "Try imagining for a second what THEIR day has been like." Ummm hello thats what i do ... It bums me out. - Thu, 4 Mar 2004 11:36am | ||
| Rubber Box User Info... | Just remember, the johns arnt paying for sex, they're paying the chick to leave when they're done. - Thu, 4 Mar 2004 12:20pm | ||
| The Queen User Info... | New-Wave Dave- Your original post came across like you didn't want them around 'cause they bum you out and you wish they could do something else so you wouldn't have to look at them. Sorry if I misinterpreted that as a very individualistic, ignorant comment. You are obviously aware that most of these women are very limited in what "other" means of employment they can attain. I guess we should be asking ourselves what we can do to help these women instead of just complaining about them loitering and making us feel uncomfortable. - Thu, 4 Mar 2004 1:14pm | ||
| jay brown User Info... | we could give them our money more often so they wouldnt feel so bad. I say all men save a hundred bucks from each cheque to give to a hooker of your choice... - Thu, 4 Mar 2004 2:12pm | ||
| Rubber Box User Info... | Ahh, brown bill for brown star day - Thu, 4 Mar 2004 2:22pm | ||
| dirty girl User Info... | Jay haven't you helped them out enough already? - Thu, 4 Mar 2004 5:20pm | ||
| Broccoli User Info... | I used to babysit the hookers hiding from pimps ect during graveyards at the 7-11... that was fun. The older ones are especially depressing... - Thu, 4 Mar 2004 10:21pm | ||
| V User Info... | yea and why can't those homeless people sit somewhere else. i swear, you can never totally avoid them. oh the things i think when i look into their eyes.... - Mon, 8 Mar 2004 6:49pm | ||
| new-wave dave User Info... | I saw an other hooker this morning. Shit there goes an other one! - Tue, 9 Mar 2004 5:46am | ||
| Instrument of Karma User Info... | I'll say the same thing I say to bitchy old ladies who stare at the shitty tattoo on my shoulder...If you don't like it, don't look. Your choice. They are sorta everywhere though, aren't they? Maybe Jay has idea has some merit. - Tue, 9 Mar 2004 7:49am | ||
| new-wave dave User Info... | Wow you have a tattoo of a hooker on your shoulder!? well ok thats a joke but they do penetrate my consciousness "point being not my choice there popper". Next.. - Tue, 9 Mar 2004 11:00am | ||
| Gman User Info... | Have none of you ever been to East Hastings? Makes Victoria look like freakin' Disney Land. - Wed, 10 Mar 2004 10:49am | ||
| ML7Mike User Info... | "You are obviously aware that most of these women are very limited in what "other" means of employment they can attain." You mean they cant get a job at say, Subway, or Walmart or maybe at Dominos Pizza or washing dishes at San Remo's or somewhere? I know people who drink and do drugs non stop and easily get jobs at places like that. - Wed, 10 Mar 2004 1:34pm | ||
| The Queen User Info... | I dunno...I don't think I would hire someone who was twitchy and had track marks all over her. Not to mention the reliability factor. I think most of these women have hit bottom...maybe the people you know who hold down jobs haven't fallen that far yet. I knew people who used drugs and held down jobs...for a while....now they are ghosts you pass on the street. It's such a fine line between maintaining and succumbing. - Wed, 10 Mar 2004 1:44pm | ||
| sludgecunt User Info... | don't forget the fact that minimum wage is monstrously low. even when working for 40+ hours a week at minimum wage employees are still living well below the poverty line. - Wed, 10 Mar 2004 4:40pm | ||
| Ebolavire User Info... | There are programs in place to help those who wish to leave. There are also outreach programs to let it be known there are programs to help. - Thu, 11 Mar 2004 5:45am | ||
| new-wave dave User Info... | Yep life's full of choices. - Thu, 11 Mar 2004 6:11am | ||
| ML7Mike User Info... | "don't forget the fact that minimum wage is monstrously low. even when working for 40+ hours a week at minimum wage employees are still living well below the poverty line." Then everyone under the age of 25 must be tempted to work the streets hey :D - Thu, 11 Mar 2004 6:23am | ||
| King Bong User Info... | I grew up in LA and THAT makes Vancouver look like Disney land! I also spent many years working at the Victoria Needle Exchange where I got to know many of the women who work in the sex trade here and in Vancouver. Many of these women are intellegent people who were trapped in life cycles that they could not alter.Most of them were introduced to hard drugs by long gone ex-boyfriends with habits themselves, the Bong Song "Girls On Dope" is about that scene. You would be suprised how fast you go from chasing the dragon to shooting up. The fastest growing group of new herion users is young women between the ages of 16-25. These women start early and have little to no employment or life skills, and in many ways they are simply not built for the 9 to 5 work a day world. Again , we are talking about a so called "crime" when really it is just another excuse to stick their noses in our personal lives. Legalize prostitution, regulate it, demand regular medical check ups, and you elliminate the "crime" and begin to free up the funds to provide HARM PREVENTION services to users and the homeless. It's not our society's job to tell people that they are right or wrong for doing anything to themselves as long as they are not a danger to others.All we can do is to tech people how to manage the harm and help them if they ask for it..

| KnifeGhost User Info... | Yeah, a model of herm reduction is far more effective than criminalization with drugs, prostitution, etc...... Fuck, it would probably be more effective with just about anything we now call a crime..... - Thu, 11 Mar 2004 8:39am | ||
| D�d[]Sanger User Info... | Said it before, will say it again: We are so far behiend Holland when it comes to laws.. Thanks again uncle sam.... *you all know it's his fault* - Thu, 11 Mar 2004 10:47am | ||
| Danny Silverfish User Info... | Rent "Sex, Drugs and Democracy", you can get it on tape in the cult section at pic a flic on cook street.Just in case you want to see what greed and the american dream is keeping us from. - Thu, 11 Mar 2004 1:34pm | ||
