Well, seems like it's time to end this nonsense. My position is that paying someone for sex is a form of sexual abuse, and that the Swedish law is an efficient way of adressing this violence. I also believe there are positive side effects to this law, for example regarding human trafficking and...

"Exactly, I wouldn't want her to become either." Haha! Dodger, dodger! The question is about comparing two things, and you simply don't want to do that... "Again imagining things? Where did I claim that the Swedish law increases human trafficking? Perhaps you should at some time in your life...

OK, so let me see if I understood you correct this time: You would not be more worried if your daughter became a prostitute, than if she became a truck driver? If that's true, your argument is logical within itself. However, I think very few people in the world would consider you fit for being...

Bossel - you're really dodging, aren't you? I'm posing a simple question: would you or would you not worry a lot more about your imaginary daughter becoming a prostitute than about her becoming a truck driver? We both know you would, but you can't say it out loud because it would undermine...

This document gives a good overview of the law and the research done about it, up until 2003: http://action.web.ca/home/catw/attach/Ekberg.pdf On trafficking: The National Rapporteur for Trafficking in Women at the National Criminal Investigation Department (NCID), Kajsa Wahlberg, is...

Don't play stupid, Bossel: You were trying to imply that health risks (I'm not mainly talking about physical ones) were comparable between a truck driver and a prostitute. They're not, and that's one of the key reason you'd react quite differently if you your daughter became a prostitute. Am I...

I think the fact that you're trying to say (you're avoiding the question, but implying) that you would not mind your daughter working as a prostitute any more than her working as a truck driver speaks for itself really. I don't believe - and if it would be true, I'd say your mentally unfit to be...

Of course it does - I'm simply saying that this law has prevented the problems from increasing, as they tend to do in many countries these years. This goes especially for those countries legalizing the prostitution industry. This law is also efficient in the long run, since it targets the...

Sure I read it. The point is not that the law changed very much, it is that it has prevented some of the commercialization of sex from reaching Sweden. And that's very important. BTW, Petra Östergren is not exactly a research institute. Her depiction of the law, it's results and it's political...

Well, she's simply wrong. Prostitution is much less of a problem in Sweden than in most countries. I think the most obvious difference that this law has made is that when people mention prostitution in Sweden, they most often understand that they are talking about a form of sexual abuse. When...

Bossel's way of seeing this is as repugnant to me as if he was defending slavery. There's a good law for this in Sweden: selling sex is not criminalized, but buying it is. That way, the scumbags are the ones risking a sentence.

Yay!! I was very happy to hear about the decisive no:s. IMHO, corporations love the centralization of the European political structure, because they know very well how much more difficult this makes it for ordinary people to influence decisions. I prefer democracy, myself.

Since the Nuremberg laws, every soldier has a certain degree of responsibility to international law as well. I'd never blame the soldiers for the war though. Soldiers becomes war criminals through institutions - they weren't born to it, and they very seldom got into that simple situation where...

The first one I posted could well be said to be from a soldiers perspective. But sure, let's make this one a thread from the foreign soldiers perspectives. Purple Hearts http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article7799.htm The first one minute, fifty seconds are in Dutch, the remainder is...

Here's a start. The second and third ones are those I posted earlier - there are more videos at that same site. Falluja - The Fall and Fall Out http://www.journeyman.tv/?lid=18059#18048 (you don't have to buy it, just click view clip) The Real Face of The U.S. Occupation Of Iraq...
