"A group of 17 attorneys general are calling on Craigslist to take down its adult services section, saying the site is "rampant" with ads for adult and child prostitution.

what about back page?

that happens when internet sites get to big and known.
There is el clasificado on the net and on paper where apartment girls advertise. But it's not as big and nationwide... no, world wide as craigslist. Victim of its own success.

I say if LE want the girls out of cyber space and back into the streets.. so be it. Let's go back to that time and blame it on them.

Nothing like the adrenaline rush of picking up a girl on the street on Sunset or Sepulveda. Unfortunately, the good looking ones were usually a rip off or a cop.

I'm sorry, but weren't they bitching about this years ago? You really wanna shut down online prostitution and the like, just shut down the Internet. Won't get rid of prostitution, but.... I don't understand how they can't get it thru their thick frickin' skulls. It's here to stay dummies! Be my guest and keep plugging away at Craig's list while the other zillions of websites keep plugging along. Excuse me while I go empty out the ocean with a spoon. Ridiculous!
