all but one poster has been in many conversations ignoring the sex slaves and defending the right to use these women here in the u.s.... refusing to educate themselves that is what they are defending.

because it is in our own back yard, we do not want to hear it.

it is like the india gang rapes. we were up in arms. appalled. disgusted. we were having the same issues in the u.s. gang rapes. but we lessened them. diminished the horror of them. turned away. pretended.... as the people refusing to look that it was not just india, but world wide... were the loudest voice against the india gang rapes.

to me, that is hypocrisy, and offensive and a lie.

the people i was reading starting ops calling for the attention to these two hundred girls are the very same people that time and time and time and time and time again, will dismiss what happens in the u.s. with our demand. cause it effects them. and they do not want to have to consider that.

knowing the posters. knowing their positions. having watched the denial for a time now. and then seeing them start Ops demanding, something be done for these girls...

literally, disgusts me.
