You do know the Marty Whelan you mentioned is the former Fianna Fail press secretary and not the national treasure?

which one was in the 'Ra?

There are chunks of this thread that should only be read in Borats voice.

It's the only way they make sense.

Sorry, can't say.

Let us hope there were hereto unknown aggravating factors involved in his being arrested. Otherwise this is a blatant disgrace; him being named as a sex offender in the news as though he were a rapist or child molester. Who knows the extent of the devastation this could potentially cause depending on his familial, communal or vocational circumstances.

Prevalent today are those who on a personal level have a neurosis regarding sexual activity and gender relations in general. They tend to project their own disturbed disposition on the largest possible scales by way of political movements and philosophies and are hell bent on attempting to conform the world to their twisted minds. A mob of such characters were the ones who campaigned for this law and were the sole reason it was passed.

Women being sexually contracted to men in a private location and anonymous situation is a highly dangerous circumstance in itself and open to all manor of potential abuses, but there's no situation where a man makes a dangerous choice for a big pay off and is painted as a victim. It's simply the fact that it's a woman selling and a man buying (in most cases) why some people have a problem with it.

Virtually nobody with any kind of moderate disposition in this country agrees with this law. It requires merely a sixteenth of a brain cell and no overt ideological prejudices in the matter for one to realise that prostitution is a river which cannot be damed. The spineless coward lawmakers who passed the bill are the ones at fault, who should have spotted the situation as it really was from miles away and who very likely did but were concerned primarily with saving face rather than upholding any kind of truth and integrity in their vital roles.

The anti-prostitution lobbies characteristically conflate what are known as agencies with outright sex slavery. Agencies are a mutual agreement wherein prostitutes collaborate with those knowledgeable of the terrain and can therefore facilitate accommodations and rotations therein with fellow sex workers on account of convenience in exchange for a share of their received fee. Usually something like 50%, in turn half of that is what the agents are spending to accommodate them and half they keep as profit. The phenomenon of overt coercion being in any way prevalent in prostitution in modern day developed nations is a myth. It happens only as anomalies, in which cases the same tactics employed by every police force the world over in regard the drug trade ought be applied whereby contact is made with the lowest level dealers on the ground (the prostitutes in our case) and on the basis of this a discernment of who are the more potent actors is made leading to substantial arrests.
