whats wrong with prostitution? "We say that [hookers] are selling their bodies, but how is that different from athletes? They're selling their bodies. Models? They're selling their bodies. Actors? They're selling their bodies."-- Dr. Elders. The reason prostitutions are often victims of violence, is because people like tubofbologna don't treat them as people ("they do not deserve respect or dignity").

[videovigilanteokc]

Comparing prostitution to models and athletes is a sad commentary on how uneducated you are on the reality of street level and forced prostitution. So, if your teenage daughter was 'turned out' you'd be like a proud father cheering her on, on the sidelines as if she was an olympic athlete or runway model?

[tubofbologna]

Bryan i do not agree with you when you refer to these sleezy hos as "victims" they made the choice to ruin their lives and bodies and sell their selves for a few dollars, the first time they did it was their choice and if they got wrapped up in it after that it is still their fault

i think it is wrong that you treat them as if they were women from a battered womens' shelter, they do not deserve respect or dignity, and if they are abused or killed it is because of their choice of lifestyle,

While I normally just delete your ignorant statements, I think it is important that people see what a freaking idiot you are. Stick to your Cheetos and online porn kiddo. You might also try a book sometime, you might actually be able to educate yourself on this topic.

y dont u crackdown on MASSAGE PARLORS???????????

[videovigilanteokc]

Because I focus on the most public of prostitution - street. However, I do focus on massage parlors when community members living nearby contact me.

A good clip. Nice to hear that Yvonne turned her life around. Now married & a business woman, it shows that in America, there are such things as second chances.

[CuCuCrazy]

wow it's so amazing that Yvonne cleaned her self up and discovered another life

[HWW008]

That is awesome that Yvonne turned her life around. .

[SapphireDew]

wow Yvonne came a long way. Just shows that it's possible to change your life around even if you've been sucked into the trap of prostitution and drugs.

[nordicivillain]

Yeah for Yvonne!! I hope she sees how many people are happy for her! I am so proud of her and I know how hard it must be to turn your life around like that. So SO happy for beautiful Yvonne!

[mrsgoldring]

Good for Yvonne! And good for you for befriending her.

[RebeccaFS1982]

When I seen Yvonne I cried. She looks so much better and more healthy. Thankyou Brian for being the MAN you are. If this world had more men like you, it would be a much better place.

[Freakgrl04]

She looks happy, and terrific!

to videovigilante:

I'm just curious as to your views on safe prostitution, with non-drug addicted or forced women. And in private dwellings.

[maichuethao]

[AshlieFay]
