Re: Tsk Tsk...SDAI

Three strikes.....
1. Ignore the matter of the first post and sidestep to a new topic.
2. Ask questions then ignore answers.
3. Sidestep to another topic.

Oh, I cant judge you out, you tried so hard.
(Patronizing style copyright infringement. So sorry.)

Let's start off with the most flagrant abuses:
500,000 women and children are slaves in western europe.
If this projection by HRWF is true, it means that more women are slaves in western europe than in any democratic nation on earth.

If this projection is true, that is horrifying. But in case you hadn't noticed western europe is not a single nation. Out of 4 million trafficked worldwide, one eighth go to Western Europe.

The sex-slave trade of women in the EU is a peculiar throwback to barbaric times which any EU woman should be deeply affronted by, yet which goes on much as the legalized prostitution and other morally weak EU positions.
the slave trade should affront everybody. Your political statement has no proof. Yet you continually do this - throw figures around and then project your ideology on them without substantiation.

In the UK drug dealers now regularly are also into the SLAVE trade - a phenomenon completely absent from America. This would never be tolerated in America not now - and not in 1960. You'd have to go back to 1860 to find anything resembling it.
If you believe that no pimp in the US is also into prostitution, then blah blah Brooklyn Bridge blah blah.
Likewise against-the-will prostitution.

In Europe African slavery still exists!
Truly horrific. And note from the same link a quote you may not have got to - "The US State Department estimates that some 50 000 women and children are brought to the United States to be forced into prostitution, bonded sweetshop (sic) labour and domestic servitude."
Better than Europe, but enough to give yer high horse the hiccups.

Can you imagine the HORROR if such a thing were discovered to be occurring in the US?
Oh, you didn't read that far, did you?

I've even tried to find US statistics and this was as close as I could find: This report projects 45-50,000 women and girls are trafficked into the whole of the US while western europe alone accounts for 500,000. That's quite a disparity!
So the same as you completely dismissed above. Yes it is quite a disparity. A shocking disparity.

As for the knife crimes,they are all over europe and rising at epidemic proportions.
For proof of which you offer one article from Poland?

Heck, my own German grandmother and 2 cousins have been mugged by knife wielding criminals. This shocked me - but they act as if it is almost the normal cost of living in europe and were relatively blasé about it - because it happens so often.
I'm sorry for your relatives. But I still don't see it. You don't think that many US city dwellers count gun-point muggings as a cost of living in the city? Many of my US friends used to, or still do, carry around mugging money or a fake wallet - you throw that at the guy and run away, your main wad and cards safely with you.




Did you even look at any of the links I posted?
Or the stats I posted?
Do any of the statistics you posted above support your original contention that women are much more vulnerable in Britain or Europe than in the US? In one sense yes - for women trafficked in.

Is your horse so friggin' high that you can't see the real world anymore?

Cheers,
Tony
