All the memes are hilarious. As a Patriots hater, I am enjoying them.

I am surprised with the hot topic of abortion and "dont tell me what to do with my body" from the women, they dont mind a law specifically telling them what to do (not do) with their bodies. If a woman or man for that matter, wants to make money by having sex, fuck it, let her do it. Regulate it, give them insurance, make sure there are no women, or men there against their will. Sex trafficking, etc. Ensure the safety of all involved, and let them go at it.

Agree 100% with the sentiment that prostitution should be legalized.
These men/women should be allowed to do what their bodies, as long as they are legal adults and not doing intentional harm to others.
Oh yea, and for someone as rich as Kraft, why the hell are you doing this, you moron?

Tattoos were treated much the same way as prostitution in this country for years as well, hell here in New Hampshire tattoo parlors only became legal about 20 years ago around the same time that we adopted California's fireworks laws. Selling your body shouldn't be illegal, it's the same as working any other job because you are still selling your body to someone else. It just so happens that it isn't for sex but you are still being fucked hard because you aren't getting the price of your labor.

Agreed, however in this case, these women were forced into doing this.

If you think sex shouldn't be dirty you're not doing it right... Some guys just like the sleazy thrills.

This entire story is absolutely bananas.
Next thing you'll hear is Kraft running for senator or something in Florida.

What precisely is the big deal about this story? Rich old man pays for a hand job. I just read an editorial lumping Kraft in with Jeffrey Epstein which is just stupid. I see nothing wrong with prostitution so long as everyone is consenting and an adult. Kraft didn't know this was a trafficking ring. He got popped for a misdemeanor for buying a handjob. So what.

In the beginning of the thread/article I thought I remember reading some mumble mumbles of him being involved in a prostitution ring as well? I Don't know if any of that was just rumors, facts, or bullshit.

no, not that he was involved, just that he got swept up in a sting that targeted this sex trafficking ring. So, his name will probably be attached to that because he's famous. I'm not sure if it's entirely unfair because in the end, maybe it helps bring more publicity to this kind of thing.

as for Kraft personally--yeah, I'm sure he'll be fine.

Yeah as this story broke there was a lot of mixed signals as information was streaming in. There were definitely a few outlets that conflated his arrest with the sex trafficking and did not do a good job of separating them from each other.

Because he's the owner of the fucking New England Patriots, and because the spa he was busted at is being linked to a sex trafficking ring and possibly under aged as well.
Story said Kraft wasn't the biggest name busted. Any ideas who??
Shefter is the one who said this and he's since deleted his tweet.

I cannot understand why he just didn't go to Canada for it where it is legal. Hell, he could have opened a bordello and gotten the fringe benefit and all.

After subsisting on filet mignon and lobster tail sometimes you just need a greasy double cheeseburger.

Or even Nevada where it's legal... Or hire an escort (better looking, more discreet).

He must have it out to go all the way to Florida for one particular 50 year old woman with the lazy eye that totally turns him on.

It's a big deal to some because Kraft is allegedly a friend of Trump. To my knowledge, Kraft has never set himself up to the public as a paragon of virtue, like some big-time religious figure. As far as I'm concerned, anyone on the left that criticizes him is a hypocrite. The guy is old, rich, and his wife has been dead for quite some time. He wasn't cheating on anyone. Unless the girl was under age, why should the alleged party of tolerance care? And if the girl was under age and Kraft had no way of knowing, it can't totally be his fault.

That being said, Kraft should've arranged for a nice discrete high-priced escort
