sweet, the CRA has a nice page where they show off recent convictions they've won against tax evaders. not exactly all big corporations: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/newsroom/prosecutions/on/menu-e.html So the good news is mostly they're just fines, but you'll note they're mostly not...

As someone said, prostitution is not illegal. The issue here of course is TAX. Most escorts in Canada are criminals--no, not because of the sex, but because, like Al Capone, they're guilty of tax evasion. It really wouldn't be hard for the police to build a tax evasion case against pretty...

midLife: Probably the only extent to which my view differs from yours is that I consider it a harm to have people bothering other people on the street, for whatever reason. My dislike of it has nothing really to do with it being sex work. It's not the trespassing and the condom and the needles...

Personally, I'm AGAINST decriminalizing solicitation and communication. I'd like to see those laws toughened, and even extended to cover other sorts of bothersome behavior on the street like squeegee kids and panhandlers and for that matter the guys who try and sell me drugs on Yonge st. I also...

More women than men pass their genes on to the next generation, meaning that a few men father the children of multiple women, while many men go childless, based on a recent analysis of current living human DNA. I thought I'd mention it as there was a discussion here awhile back about whether...

Yeah, the $25k question is not whether or not he is lying, it is whether anyone can prove it. Of course he's lying. Convicting him will be tougher.

Booboo... "after a person stops" sure, I can understand keeping your mouth shut. You're not cheating in the future, and while the past may not be perfect, it's the future that counts I think. Still, though, like bud you have this "the loss to me" thing going on as though your wife's interests...

Yup. Granted. But we're not asking whether a guy should get married here, we're asking if he should get a divorce. He's already supporting his spouse. It'll be a bit more expensive if they separate, because it'll take two apartments, etc., but the tax credits and income splitting will make up...

Bud: That sounds like rationalizing to me, sorry. You alternately spew out justifications of it based on unfair family laws, change over time, and fear of ending the marriage. What's missing in your entire analysis is the other person. What about your spouse's interests? Not relevant? I agree...

Reforming prostitution laws: http://www.economist.com/opinion/displayStory.cfm?story_id=3151258 I always find The Economist to be a voice of reason.

Arguments about what your body is supposed to do are stupid. These are the same things people try and say to argue that homosexuality is wrong, that sex is for having children only, and that people shouldn't be flying in planes. Get a grip. You don't have to do what your body was "meant" to do...

Condoms are not 100% safe, only about 99.9% safe. Testing is not even 1% safe. It takes a couple of infectious months before you'll test positive for HIV, during which you can be passing it around. A client an an SP who are "comfortable with it" are both morons who are raising the general level...

Obviously there are people who have successful, happy, monogamous relationships, so the answer is "Yes, it's not only possible, it's pretty common." That doesn't mean it is possible for *you*, people are different. There are happy, successful, non-monogamous relationships too. As for marriage...

The police bust incalls on a "complaint basis", meaning they don't go looking for them. However, if a neighbour complained to the police about the incall then they might bust it. It's not like it never happens, but it isn't aggressively enforced. On the other hand, Ontario courts have generally...

You wouldn't want to just injure this guy. Injured guys can still pull triggers.

My wife pulls these tricks sometimes, and it used to lead to us having really horrible fights. Eventually I tried to convince her to go to a marriage counsellor, and like the guy above, wound up going by myself because she refused to go. I think right here you can see a trend: guys tend to focus...

Hey Lisa, nobody is criticizing the strippers here so chill. It's pathetic to have to pay someone to talk to you. It's NOT pathetic to have people pay to talk to you :-) If you can convince some guy to pay you just to sit and chat good score for you. It's not the dollar value I'm criticizing...

There's a word for people who have to pay to have someone talk to them: loser. The guy is a moron. Still, he has every right to be a moron, and if he can't get anyone to talk to him other than by paying someone to put up with him, then whatever, it's his business. We can all exercise our free...

It's insane for a retired person to buy life insurance. Life insurance protects your income against your death. If you have no income, what are you insuring? Money you already have and that your dependents will get anyway? Pointless. Term insurance is useful if it extends to the end of your...

I think she probably wouldn't apply this rule if the condom didn't break, but as I said on the other thread you should be VERY GLAD this happened with an SP who is that paranoid about being clean. Just imagine this happened to you with an SP who wasn't as worried about her health! So you didn't...
