Slow Credit Card Verification Lands Man In Jail

[Ducman69]

If it were victimless I'd take that approach as well, and just not associate with those people, but the truth is, many women are forced by their economic situations to humiliate themselves and sell their bodies, and that just isn't right.

C'mon, you act like we don't have a ton of not only job opportunities, but social service available to ensure that people aren't' starving to death. The thing is, not everyone wants to work 40 hours plus a week at a close to minimum wage job busting their ass, when you can make in three hours what takes other people three weeks.

Others need the high income because they are addicted to drugs which they can't afford on lower salaries, which is sad for the "bottom barrel" prostitutes.

But especially high-end prostitutes can make more than doctors. And if you think about it, a quarter of the women we know are "informal" prostitutes that will go out seeking a boyfriend that has plenty of money to support her, the only difference is that they are selling sex exclusively to one guy instead of many, but its still ultimately an informal sex for money relationship. Don't believe it? Try to pickup a random girl dressed in a walmart shirt, shorts, and flip flops, and then do the same in a $1500 suit riding up in a Lamborghini Gallardo. You'll need rolls of duck-tape to keep dozens of panties from dropping around you.

And really, everyone now is praising that elementary school teacher or figured out she can make triple digits doing 15 second vine videos twerking and quit her job. Is simulating riding a cock on video for large sums of money REALLY that different from prostitution or running a "happy ending" massage service for clients or being a porn-star? And how is it that pornography, for which the internet was invented, is not considered prostitution? Its sex for money... yeah that's prostitution. The camera doesn't change that.

Meh, if I were king for a day there would be no more strip joints, "escort services", pornography, booth babes or hooters, and prostitutes and johns would be behind bars.

If people can't control their desires, they should just be chemically castrated.

You mean you don't like some nasty tail here and there?
You are right, sex is sticky and gross.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a human male, and as such I have the same desires as everyone else, but that's one of the many (and nowhere near the most important) reasons I have a special lady in my life.

I think propriety in ones behaviors is very important. Paying for services to satisfy those desires (because they are desires, NOT needs, one can get by perfectly well without them) is gross and unethical, and crosses a line, and makes one not a very flattering person.

I'm not one of the religious extremists that suggests one needs to be married first, but I do feel that it should be something special set aside for someone special in ones life, not someone one pays for the privelege.

While I would ban any paid for "adult" services of any kind (and of course any forced or otherwise coerced "services") as far as consensual casual stuff without any commitment goes, I would merely disapprove or be disappointed.

I also find cheating, especially by married people particularly vile, and wish we had laws against it.

Why would you go into a strip club maxing out your credit cards anyways?
Dude deserved something for his own stupidity.
He didn't deserve jail, but he deserved something.

We do have a law against cheating ... it is called Divorce ... criminal law would start to bump into separation or church and state or other freedoms (depending on the legal justification and scope)

Agree, other than making a law against it. It's grounds for divorce, which is good enough. Nothing criminal about it, though. Cheaters are scum. It destroys families. But, it shouldn't be illegal.

He didn't max out anything ... this was a function of security on the cards (they wanted to verify the charge and weren't authorizing until verified) and poorly handled escalation (the police should not have been called) ... everybody could have done something different here:

1. Club should have waited before calling the police and given the customer the chance to call his card sooner

2. Police should have waited before arresting him

3. Customer should have called his bank after the first decline and not kept trying other cards

Hindsight is 20/20 so hopefully they all learn from the experience

Problem is in most states the divorce process does not consider "cause". If the cause is one party cheating, they really ought to at least be penalized in the divorce process somehow, like losing rights to alimony, and being disadvantaged in the splitting of assets/custody...

And this has what to do with a person who's credit card was declined pending verification while attempting to pay for bottle service at a night club?

Everyone who didn't actually read the article should probably go back and read it before continuing to comment on it.
