We don't have a Craigslist here, but the two similar services both
recently dropped their adult services. This was just before I joined
either, so I don't know what sort of thing was in there.
I've not checked Freecycle lately.

Craigslist dumps 'adult service' adverts
By Maggie Shiels, Technology reporter, BBC News, Silicon Valley
4 September 2010
Last updated at 17:13 ET
The online marketplace Craigslist has closed the controversial "adult
services" listing in the US.
The company has not said why it took the decision, but it has faced an
ongoing barrage of criticism from attorneys general and advocacy
groups.
They have claimed the listing was a virtual tool for pimps and
prostitutes.
The section has now been replaced with a black and white bar that
reads "censored". An "erotic" service is still active outside the US.
A statement from Craigslist executives is expected in the coming days.
Last year the San Francisco based company removed its "erotic
services" section and replaced it with a fee-based adult category in
response to pressure from 40 state attorneys general.
It also adopted a policy of screening every advert.
In a May blog post, Craigslist chief executive Jim Buckmaster said
Craigslist had "gone beyond fulfilling its legal obligations". The
site was "a leader in the fight against human trafficking and
exploitation," he said.
But critics continued to accuse the firm of helping to facilitate
child prostitution.
The listings came under renewed scrutiny after the suicide in prison
last month of a former medical student who was awaiting trial in the
killing of a masseuse he met through Craigslist.
In early August a paid advert appeared in the Washington Post from two
women appealing for the closure of the adult services section. One
said she had been forced into prostitution at the age of 11, with the
jobs organised through Craigslist.
And last week in a joint letter to Craigslist, 17 attorneys general
said women and children would "continue to be victimised in the market
and trafficking provided by Craigslist".
The latest move by Craigslist to close down the service was welcomed
by Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, a persistent
critic of both the erotic and adult listings.
"We welcome any steps toward eliminating the adult services section
and prostitution ads on Craigslist, as we have urged, and we are
seeking to verify the site's official policy going forward," he said.
"If Craigslist is doing the right thing voluntarily in response to our
coalition of attorneys general, it could set an example for others."
But in the blogosphere there has been broad support for Craigslist's
position.
"It is surely, though, splendidly naive to think Craigslist would
somehow be alone in providing a forum for prostitution ads," said
Chris Matyszczyk on the news blog CNET.com.
"However, Craigslist is in the unfortunate position of being high-
profile and successful and has become a very easy target in what is a
far more complex and nuanced issue than the attorneys general are
making out."
And at Wired, Evan Hansen said: "Internet services may accelerate and
exacerbate some social problems like prostitution, but they rarely
cause them. The root of these issues - and their solutions - lie in
the realm of public policy, not web sites."

Of course, being transparent, it was also a virtual tool for attorneys
general and advocacy groups, provided they could be bothered to get off
their amble self-righteous asses.

If I understand the situation correctly, there was an "erotic" sub under
the "Services" header. Peeking at RI's CL I don't see it, but all the
personals are still there.

Under "Personals" they have things like "Women Seeking Men" and "Men
Seeking Women" (and the other two variations). I see they are in a
number of instances blatant sexual come-ons. I never had the chance
to see the now-banned listings under "servces", but I would presume
that enterprising young business people of both genders would find a
way to use the personals ads to advertise their wares. Praise the
lord for our free enterprise system.

Isn't that why Craig's list made the "adult services" section, to get
such things out of the personal section?

A lot of those posts are real hookers but there are also many who
don't see themselves as hookers, just trying to drum up rent money etc.

You know, apart from not making a lot of sense as printed, with the
word in question resembling so closely a common enough english word
that suddenly makes the sentence extrememly meaningful. Moreover,
googling "the source of Truch" gives you the suggestion to try "Truth"
instead.

I'll take the assembly line product. With hand made there's a slight
chance you'll get a unique piece of rare beauty, but from the assembly
line you know it's consistently good.

I suspect that there's a lot of regional variation. My closest WalMart
contains shoppers that seem to be about 40% black, even though my city
is overwhelmingly white.
These black people seem to be healthy, intelligent to speak to and
vastly different than the "people of WalMart" that keep surfacing on
email collectons from my joke mailing lists. The white people in the
store never even enter my conciousness -- "just folks".
I'm not a chick, so my 6'5" presence at WalMart is irrelevant. From

>How did black people end up in Canada?
When I lived in Toronto, most of the black people I encountered seemed
to speak with a Jamaican accent.
Here in Calgary, most of the ones I encounter out in the city seem to
have the black American accent familiar from TV and the movies.
At the college I attend, there are several Ethiopian immigrants who
talk among themselves in Amharic. Two of these are (I believe)
economic immigrants who moved here with their families (independent of
each other), and the other is here on a student visa. Their accent is
completely different from the American-style accent I hear at WalMart
or the Jamaican I heard in Toronto.
The black girl I met through a local dating site (and her half-sister)
had no accent whatever that I could notice.
Back before the Civil War, Canada was often the target of the
"underground railway", for fear that "slave catchers" would retrieve
them if they didn't get out of the country entirely. However, there
weren't a lot of these blacks by number, and I think that they're
vastly outnumbered by economic migrants that seek a better life in the
modern era.
One of the Amharic blacks at the college told me "I'm not really a
black. I'm just a very dark coloured semite." "Black" is a poor term
to use to talk about race, since it apparently only takes a thousand
years or so for colour to change to match the sun where you've moved
to.
How do blacks end up in Canada? I'm not sure of the forces that
brought the Caribbean blacks to Toronto. I expect that a lot of the
blacks with American accents were fleeing either the draft or racial
hatred in a past generation. The immigrants from Africa are generally
seeking a better life. (I don't know the proportional breakdown
between true refugees and economic migration)

There were 783,000 black Canadians as of 2006; Canada's black population
is likely well over 800,000 now, out of 34 to 35 million. Early on, at
least, their arrival had to do with particular historic events. Around
the American Revolution, for instance, there was a large group of
loyalists who followed the British, who had promised them equality, to
Canada.
Slavery was abolished in Canada in the early part of the 19th century,
and from about 1820 to the U.S. Civil War, tens of thousands of American
blacks arrived on the so-called Underground Railroad.
There was racism in Canadian immigration rules right until 1962, when
restrictions were abolished. That's when several hundred thousand
Caribbean blacks, especially from Jamaica, arrived over several decades,
largely for economic reasons. In the same period, Quebec saw a number of
waves of immigration from French-speaking black countries, notably Haiti.
This touches on most of the major points:

Back in 87 or so, a BC politician got hit with a number of scandals.
Among them was racking up thousands of dollars in hooker charges at
the "White Rock Windsurfing Club."
All over the province wives suddenly went back over credit card bills
looking for windsurfing on trips to Vancouver.
