ORIGINAL: Karmastic you can get a craigslist account without a phone number - just need any junk email account. Are you sure you can post without giving a phone number? Maybe it's different in different areas (probably is). But I just created a free email account, and then created a Craigslist account, and then posted to casual encounters and then clicked on the verification email Craigslist sent to my new email account and then, at this last step, it asked for a telephone number saying "Phone verified accounts may be required for posting". Here's a screen shot of the message I just received: [image]http://picturepush.com/public/8154067[/image] Without a phone number, I can't post to the personals of Craigslist. quote:
ORIGINAL: Aswad I would think that the majority of the customers are married and the wives are blissfully unaware Personally, I think that's the problem (flame hat bolted on). Here's why: 1. Prostitution is the oldest profession for a reason 2. Prostitutes are in every community on the planet - probably within a mile of you right now 3. SOMEBODY is keeping them in business, day after day, night after night, year after year, eon after eon ... If it's not me keeping them in business, who is? One way how prevalent prostitution is in my community, I just went to http://www.myredbook.com/showpro.aspx and typed in my area code (408). Up came scores of pages (it never ended), with one line per woman (presumably they're unique but I didn't check). Try it if you don't believe me. What that tells me is there are 'hundreds' of prostitutes in my very own town, let alone in the next town over, and the next one after that, and on and on and on. And this is today - but it will be the same tomorrow, and the next day, and the next week and the next month (on and on and on). While I'm not so naive as to think they're all females, most are (or appear to be). So the question has to be 'why' is prostitution so prevalent in my community, especially in a country where it's declared illegal by the majority of the people (presumably by democratic voters anyway). Who goes to prostitutes anyway? I would have to assume married men frequent these prostitutes just as frequently as unmarried men (give or take a few percentage points either way) - so I have to conclude married men don't get what they (feel they) need from married women (flame hat bolted on) ... but then, I'd also have to assume men don't get what they (feel they) need ... because it's men going to these prostitutes (someone is keeping them in business). Or is there some other reason why prostitution exists other than to serve the (presumably unmet) needs of men, married or not?
