craigslist

Jim Buckmaster (craigslist) says that craigslist reflects society at large:


“It was recently pointed out to us that with literally billions of positive human interactions facilitated by Craigslist, it is quite remarkable how little crime is associated with the site, given the much higher crime rates that exist in the world at large – which is a testament to the good intentions of the vast majority of Craigslist users,” he wrote via e-mail.

MEANWHILE, the murders, rapes, scams, robberies, drug dealing, fencing, and prostitution continue. Now that craigslist was forced to ask “escorts” for their phone numbers before posting on the U.S. adult section (formally known as erotic services), many prostitutes have been 1) posting in the “casual encounters” free section (which is “moderated” by readers; 2) moved to backpage.com; and 3) posted at R.A.W.’s blog.

The mutants will continue to spill in other places. None of their intentions are “good”, Mr. Buckmaster.

  • Roadkill: Dead Raccoon, Death, Rebirth, End of Suffering
    This time around I realized that the raccoon was free from suffering now. It's a shame its life had to end like that- it was blameless; humans built roads in the middle of his ancestor's forest. Progress and technology broke that raccoon's legs and took his life tonight. But now the suffering has ended for it. I mourned the raccoon and the way […]

    ust a quick observation before I run: I jumped from watching 1980's pro wrestling to the 1991 Survivor Series because WWE put up the whole PPV online for a limited time. It never fails to amaze me how much things change. It was like I was in a time machine from 1987 to 1991... […]
