To get some reasonable discussion on this thread, can anybody draw a firm line between foreign wives and slavery? When does it cross the line?
5 years ago I spent $50K adopting a Russian baby, is that the purchase of a person? Does that count as slavery?
There were other people there in the US embassy going through the process to bring back their Russian wife (undoubtedly found on the internet). When does that cross the line into human trafficking? In one case that I am thinking of, the man was really disgusting and the beautiful wife obviously hated him, and he was very mean and rude to her. But I am sure that there are other unions where the couple loves each other, and economics don't impact the decision to marry.
I don't think that this issue is entirely clear cut.
What is it about AI that gets us in the middle of this stuff?
Before 9/11, we had the weird Arabic posting incident. Now we're apparently being used as some kind of research project, either by a college research team or some really messed up individuals.
How does a Mac discussion board get mixed up in stuff like this?
Is our traffic really large enough to warrant this kind of attention?

But if you study social exchange theory, as I am studying at UBC, as you can see my IP address, every relationship is traficking. If economic security and social status is ever a category for a woman to consider you, you used it to pick them up. Try going up to a woman all dress poor, and say love me just as I am. See what happens. Tell them that you dont want to play manipulative social games and that you want her to do whatever you truly want to do up front and honest right from the start. See if she bites. I like to see this before you folks begin to criticize Yutaka. I am not saying he is right, but arent we all 99%of us guilty of the same in a different form? Only Buddhist monks are inoocent of this. I suggest you go to Dalai Lama and chant om mani padme hum for the rest of your life to be innocent.
Hi, am I addabox. Or am I? Wanna see me puppet a denial of this? It will be fun! I want you to believe me that I am not, but how many will believe me. Let's find out.

And I guess that makes me Yutaka. Odd, I would have thought that being a piss drinker would be more invigorating. Instead, I feel enormously tired.
This whole mail order bride thing is interesting. To a good extent, the need for such woman has been fueled by the feminist movement in the west. Woman stopped knowing their place and that caused a lot of problems. Today’s western woman doesn’t want to cook, clean and most importantly stay in the home and raise the children. A lot of men still want a traditional woman happy to serve in her traditional role. Men have found such woman in Thailand, the Philippines, China and Korea. In recent years, there has been an increased availability of woman from Russia, Romania and Bulgaria. These women are in great demand because they are easier to assimilate into the community. Folks tend to stare at the others. There are still a lot of good woman out there. You just need to work a little harder and spend a little more to acquire one.
and knowing it's all downhill from there. It's about knowing the whole thing's doomed from the very first post and that it's only a matter of time before adda mentions The Magic Cone.
It's about great piss threads of yore, Frank. Legendary piss threads, whose light beamed across cyberspace, illuminating every corner of the internets with golden showers of hope, Frank, and drawing unto us the Piss Pilgims!

Heard these two are available. One on the left is fertile enough, the other I'm not so sure.
Good luck!
Looks like they came out of a Washington Mutual together... maybe they mistook it for a sperm bank.

I'd say it constitutes human trafficking, not slavery.

Stop messing with the formatting.
People can easily read you comments if they choose to.
Most of my posts aren't formatted. I usually only format short posts or small parts of posts. But ok, sure if it bothers you so much.
We do get our share of weirdos.

heh.
yes.

Piss is good for jellyfish stings.
Brilliant! We've cross threaded the topics which means I can legitimately refer to piss in reply to

No it's not about traffic, Frank. This is about quality, not quantity.
It's about thuh Freak entering the discussion with the illuminating statement
i make a point of never using a public toilet in any kind of intimate way
