Really, huh? Because so many of these situations lead to young university males being routinely found guilty in a court of law of some form of misbehavior? Like, say just about as many as the number of cases that lead to their acquittal. 50%? What am I talking about. 10%? Yup, this unequal...

Agreed. I was just poking fun at the general (booker) opinion.

This is an ARC document, not an SCC decision. Not very different from the ARQ document I've already posted, except much less detailed. Who was this? Interestingly, by searching through the Cour du Quebec database, I've found it has indeed rendered many rulings on matters related to the...

Ok, so how does the capacity to hire someone negate or "limit" one's "independent status"? You see, where I come from the capacity to make business decisions regarding your own business is nothing but a confirmation of that status. I understand the idea that some clients prefer interacting...

I wonder if we can agree on the concept of "not an independent I'd book with" instead of "not an indy", or "not a completely opaque indy" (as opposed to "shade of indy"). (50 Shades of Independency has a catchy ring to it. Could see that as a best-seller in the near future, right above How I...

Thanks for providing this very relevant example. But you know, as some like to say, jurisprudence, shmurisprudence. In any case, agencies are so special that they aren't comparable to any real world business :rolleyes:

Apparently, according to Avid Life Media executive, Keith Lalonde, At least, where Japan was concerned... Cited from this latest Gizmodo article: http://gizmodo.com/how-ashley-madison-hid-its-fembot-con-from-users-and-in-1728410265. Again, I can't wait for the movie.

Thanks, Phil. My point was just that let's not make pretend that agency escorts are self-employed. It's neither legally accurate nor a useful analogy. As for tax law, :lol::lol::lol:

Sorry :o [This message is no longer too short to be posted.]

I’ve now read this thread more thoroughly and have two points. Number 1: I understand that you have your own opinions about this, UncleBob, and I’m totally fine with that. The thing is, you *are* pushing a definition of indy in a thread on what indies are. So when you say that there is no...

Two women become indies. They decide to make their lives easier and hire someone to take care of some time-consuming aspects of the job. Members here jump on the said indies claiming they are not indies, or not "full" indies, or not indies in "their mind", or whatever. No form of explanation...

I don't hate men. I think this situation is unacceptable. The part that is unacceptable to me, however, has nothing to do with having to go through a legal process or time to serve earned at the end of it. I find unacceptable the sex-offender for life part of it. For an 18 at the time, now 19...

Of course I agree with this, but I still disagree with the amount taken from a macro perspective. The macro perspective does not support the idea of 10%, 20% or even 30% share in sales (here, I'd like any agency escort or indy with agency experience to chime in and confirm that unlike any of my...

This should be a t-shirt. Or Merb should hand out awards to people who are able to write posts who come alive like movies.

Believe these valid arguments would have a more proper home in this thread: https://merb.cc/vbulletin/showthread.php?132723-Do-you-really-believe-in-Maleism-(Off-shoot-of-he-Feminism-thread).

And on the third day, God created the earth and the oceans from the tears He shed for the injustices He knew men would face for generations to come (Genesis, 1:9). Economic power - taken away by a majority of female CEOs. Political power - taken away by a majority of female presidents and prime...

It looks like we'd need a lot more threads to discuss a lot of things raised here :smile: Willing to hand over the baton to the next guy/gal. Right now I'm so tired that I'm deleting answers to people because my brain mistakenly thought "this was supposed to go in the AM thread!" (sorry to...

I think the rephrasing is much better and I very much relate with your answer. It reminds me of this quite brilliant piece on racism: https://thsppl.com/i-racist-538512462265 (long, but so worth the time).

Yes, well this goes back to the question I asked in my first post, "Do you believe women are the cause of women who are escorts (i.e. of prostitution demand)?" I think it's all very funny.
