and that's the world we're going to live in if the ruling class has its way.
i'm so glad she advertised her take because what the world needs is more strippers.

10. Equating stripping with burglary and thievery? WTF? nt.

12. i equate them all with a certain kind of economy, the economy of ghettoization. which is what's
being done to us.

17. Stripping, drug dealing and burglary are "being done to us" by the nefarious PTB?
What total and utter bullshit. There is no such thing as "the economy of ghettoization", you just made it up.

20. Ghettoization...
HPD-
Can you elaborate on this concept? I don't think I've ever come across the concept of a "gehttoization" of an economy. What goods and services are included/excluded? Please advise....

45. Oh, bull.
I used to work in a bar in Edmonton many moons ago and got to talk with some of the dancers. It wasn't a 'stripper bar' per se, but they had these ladies in once a week. Most I talked to were raising money to go back to school or just simply doing it because they liked the money ... they weren't forced into it in any way, shape or form. This was back when Alberta's economy was booming ..... there were plenty of good paying jobs. They were no more 'ghettoized' than I was.

13. why compare three illegal things to one legal one?
HiPointDem (15,951 posts)
14. because it's the same economy. strip clubs, drugs, thieves = the economy of ghettoization.

15. Drugs and burglary
Take money from people in harmful, undesired ways.
When people are forced into strip clubs at gunpoint, or become cripplingly addicted to naked, dancing people, let me know.

16. people aren't forced to buy drugs, either. the economy of ghettoization includes the legal and
the illegal, but they go together nevertheless. lotteries, payday loans, pawn shops... they're legal too.

18. Don't forget regular bars
Video games, and liberal arts colleges.

Actually, High Point Dim has a point, just not the one he was hoping to prove:
HAVANA TIMES — In Cuba the denial of prostitution is a lie of omission: the government doesn’t really talk about it. At the same time American politicians promote a travel ban that seriously damages United States efforts to identify and prosecute child sex tourism.
Few people in Cuba want to talk about prostitution. I’ve been here for three years and I have yet to see any type of campaign against prostitution or sex tourism. Denial that prostitution is rampant in the tourist sector is an outright lie. Anyone who disagrees is invited to walk down Obispo Street with me (this is a serious offer). You will think the only services offered to tourists in Havana Vieja are taxis and blowjobs.
Police are often witness to the solicitation. I’ve never seen them intervene. I’m left to wonder if they are paid in-kind or in cash for their see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil approach to their job.

0bama Ghettoized the Southside of Chicago.
0bama is Ghettoizing the entire USA.
-
ghettoization....it's what "Community Organizers" do.
-
Ghettoization seems to be the opposite of Gentrification - where high priced specialty stores, art studios and coffee shops are replaced with liquor stores, bars, and strip clubs.
-
Ghettoization is the result of Democratic policies and electing Democratic politicians.

Of course you all know that HighpointDem is the reincarnation of HannaBell.
