I saw the same article and it was remarkable how seamlessly and effortlessly the author's wording moved between trafficking and prostitution. This intentional (IMHO) misuse of language is a huge problem because it's designed to change how people think about consensual adult behavior. In years past, prostitution may not have been socially acceptable to many but neither was it demonized. Now, the false label of trafficking is being applied to all of it. And, of course, who can argue against the need to expend every possible resource to stamp out the scourge of trafficking and eradicate the evil traffickers? Welcome to 1984 and the Ministry of Truth.

on trafficking is where the real Fake News is in this country. I can't believe there are so many un-enlightened journalists out there that are just going to parrot the LE party-line on this topic.
Just look to this very board, THAT is what surprises me. I am not surprised when the general public and sensationalist media buy into this bullshit, but the number of people here that believe these lies leaves me just shaking my head at times. There is a huge minority of hookers and johns alike right here that believe this crap, is it really any wonder that a bunch of journalists interested in getting published without a high regard for the actual truth parrot this tripe?
I've been fighting this fight on these board for the entire fifteen years that I have been here, the ignorance, racism, and downright stupidity coming from people who should know better never ceases to get my back up.
I thank them for the fact that they will be providing a free place to stay for any woman accused of trafficking until she can get her own place.
Any girl suspected of trafficking out of a Mariotte room gets to stay there for free until she gets a real job and can afford the first/last/deposit for her own place. That is your policy Mariotte...isn't it Mariotte?
Anyone here may feel free to use this to send to Mariotte...or a Letter to the Editor in any publication in response to an article about trafficking.
in Marriott's face. You'll have a bunch of low-paid hotel workers playing amateur detective and reporting any woman at their hotel that looks like she's going into a room with a guy. When enough customers complain about being harassed or embarrassed by the hotel's vigilante squad, Marriott will realize that this is NOT the way to fix the trafficking problem.
You might take that thought one step farther. What if some of the hotel staff/management realize they can subsidize their pay by partnering with said "traffickee"
but not only skipthegames, also I heared about eros, they ask for an ID to complete your verification and with the payment with your credit card they have the complete list of ladies and many girls were taken by the police. I don't know till with point this is true, but for sure we're on hard days.
