Detroit Adult Entertainment: Obama Q&A—legalize drugs,prostitution, gambling, etc.
December 4, 2009 at 10:01 pm | In Detroit adult entertainment | No CommentsQ Mr. Obama, I really appreciate how you’re trying to stimulate the economy to help this country out. And I was just wondering in LCCC in college we’ve been studying some criminology and I was wondering if — maybe if you checked out some of the statistics about legalizing prostitution, gambling, drugs, and nonviolent crime in order to stimulate some of the economy? (Laughter.)
THE PRESIDENT: You know, I have to say this — I appreciate the boldness of your question. (Laughter.) That will not be my jobs strategy. (Laughter.) But let me say this. What year are you in school?
Q This is my second year in college.
THE PRESIDENT: Your second year. I think, first of all, part of what you’re supposed to do in college is question conventional wisdom. (Laughter.) And so you’re doing exactly what you’re supposed to be doing — (laughter) — which is thinking in new ways about things.

Detroit Escorts: Obama Comes Out Against Gambling
December 4, 2009 at 7:48 pm | In Detroit escorts | No CommentsObama Comes Out Against Gambling
US President Obama tells a questioner he won’t consider lightening laws on gambling as a means to stimulate the economy or create jobs.
A simple question-and-answer session at a college publicity stop revealed what the online gambling industry had wondered for some time: President Barack Obama’s stance on expanding gambling in the US, including regulation of Internet casinos. Obama told a student at Lehigh Carbon Community College that he would not consider using less strict gaming laws and policies to stimulate the economy or provide jobs.
The sophomore, a criminology student, asked the President if he would think about legalizing victimless crimes, such as possessing marijuana, prostitution, and gambling as a means to lower record unemployment. Without hesitation, the President said no.
There was no attempt by the President to differentiate between the categories of drugs, sex, and gaming, but rather a blanket dismissal. Internet gambling supporters hopeful that revenue possibilities created by regulation of online casinos would sway Obama toward their corner may now be concerned about legislation that may head the President’s way.
Detroit Escorts: Obama hails jobs ‘hope’
December 4, 2009 at 7:48 pm | In Detroit escorts | No CommentsObama said at Thursday’s jobs summit that he was not prepared to wait to push job creation measures — but warned that government cash was limited given the size of the deficit so he called on the private sector to help.
Other possible approaches include offering small businesses a tax break to take on new workers for job-intensive energy projects.
Republicans on Friday stepped up their assault on Obama, blaming him for “job killing” policies, including his backing for a cap-and-trade system to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
House minority leader John Boehner said any decrease in the unemployment rate was “encouraging” but he warned of a “jobless recovery” and double-digit unemployment.
In one moment of light relief Friday, Obama made clear that one idea for job creation will not be in his plans — legalizing prostitution and drugs.
Detroit Escorts: President Spends Day Studying Job Climate In Lehigh Valley
December 4, 2009 at 7:48 pm | In Detroit escorts | No CommentsToday, the Labor Department released its monthly employment survey and reported that the nation lost 11,000 jobs in November, which was about 115,000 fewer than was forecast, and is about close to zero, from the perspective of our overall economy,” said the president. “The unemployment rate ticked down, instead of up… So overall this is the best jobs report that we’ve seen since 2007. And this is good news, just in time for the season of hope.”
President Obama then opened it up to a few questions from the audience. The first to speak up was a Lehigh Carbon Community College student.
“Mr. Obama, I really appreciate how you’re trying to stimulate the economy to help this country out,” said the student. “And I was just wondering in LCCC, in college, we’ve been studying some criminology and I was wondering if, maybe, if you checked out some of the statistics about legalizing prostitution, gambling, drugs, and nonviolent crime in order to stimulate some of the economy?”

Detroit Escorts: Cash-Strapped Police Departments Find New Source of Revenue: Stealing!
December 4, 2009 at 7:48 pm | In Detroit escorts | No CommentsBut under the color of law, of course. All thanks to the wonderful world of asset forfeiture.
The way Krista Vaughn sees it, Wayne County fined her $1,400 even though police and prosecutors admit she broke no laws.
Vaughn, who has no criminal record, was required to pay for the return of her car, which was seized by police after they mistook Vaughn’s co-worker for a prostitute. Even though prosecutors later dropped the case, Vaughn still had to pay.
Her story is not unusual. In Wayne County, law enforcement officials regularly seize vehicles without levying charges — even in cases in which they later concede no law was broken. The agency provides perhaps the most prolific and egregious example of what critics contend is the wrongful use of laws allowing the seizure of private property.
Detroit Escorts: President Obama fields town hall question about prostitution, drug use
December 4, 2009 at 7:48 pm | In Detroit escorts | No CommentsPresident Obama fields town hall question about prostitution, drug use
…
As more and more states, like Michigan and Massachusetts, legalize medical marijuana, the amount of money each state stands to save from passing such legislation increases greatly. And yet, if an answer to a direct question posed to President Barack Obama is any indication, marijuana legalization on the federal level won’t come to pass any time soon, despite the opportunity to revitalize the economy that legalization presents. According to Time magazine’s Swampland blog, President Obama, on a multi-city tour to address the public on issues pertaining to the economy, fielded a question from a college student at Lehigh Carbon Community College in Allentown, PA. The student, according to Swampland, asked a question pertaining to legalizing nonviolent crimes–that is, drugs and prostitution–and whether or not Obama had considered the effects that legislative action would have on the economy. While President Obama told the student he “appreciate[d] the boldness” of the question, he nonetheless added, “That will not be my jobs strateg …

Detroit Escorts: Awareness v Discrimination: ngos mark World AIDS Day in Armenia
December 4, 2009 at 10:48 am | In Detroit escorts | No CommentsThe number of new reported cases in 2007 and 2008 was 109 and 118, respectively. The Republican HIV/AIDS Prevention Center estimates, however, that the number of people with HIV/AIDS in Armenia could be as high as 2,800.
“Real World, Real People” NGO head Hovhannes Madoyan estimates that the number of officially reported cases has increased in the recent period because people leaving for migrant work in Russia are now required to pass a medical test for HIV/AIDS.
“HIV/AIDS treatment is available in Armenia, but its availability for high-risk groups is not provided. I don’t think the motto ‘Availability for all’, by which the world will be guided in the coming year can be translated into action in Armenia,” says Madoyan.
(Prostitutes, intravenous drug users, homosexuals, are traditionally considered to be HIV/AIDS risk groups.)
Detroit Escorts: Piece of Mind: Fighting AIDS, and Ignorance
December 4, 2009 at 10:48 am | In Detroit escorts | No Comments… In Jakarta, more than 200 female demonstrators urged the government to close down brothels and ban condoms, which they said encouraged ‘free sex and unhealthy behavior.’ One banner read, ‘Prostitutes, drug users and homosexuals are the agents of immorality,’ ” the report read.
The demonstrators also demanded that programs providing free condoms for male and female prostitutes be ended.
Let’s try to look at this from a logical point of view — Jakarta is becoming a modern metropolis, and more and more people of the younger generation are independent and free-spirited and don’t follow the same traditions or rules as their parents. In other words, sex before marriage is becoming more common, and this development seems to be a natural one and unlikely to stop.
…
Also, prostitution is one of the oldest industries in the world. Close down one brothel, and another will open a week later. I don’t support prostitution, but depriving sex workers of free condoms would just put them at higher risk of infection.
Detroit Strip Clubs: Miley Cyrus News Update!
December 4, 2009 at 9:00 am | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsWhat has been going on with Miley Cyrus these days? Well, we know one thing she hasn’t been doing: receiving Grammy nominations. Get a news update here, along with photos and video.
She has had a pretty big year overall, but like most stars, she has had her ups and downs. From fatal tour bus accidents to having her song chosen for the X-Factor finale, she’s had quite a ride in 2009.
She spent most of the year being criticized for being too racy. After her performance at the Teen Choice Awards people began to wonder if she was a bad influence on the young impressionable audience that gobbles up most of her material. Some even compared her dance moves to that of a stripper.
The controversy eventually died down and it was business as usual, until last month. That’s when one of the tour buses in the singer’s caravan flipped onto its side killing the driver. Cyrus wasn’t on that particular bus, but it definitely injected her back into the news cycle.
