That is sad to watch because none of the women are ready to be exposure.
have a wonderful weekend
story idea: look at how gay marriage is working in states that already legalize it
Good night Anderson. Sweet dreams. Good night Everyone.
whenever i hear of stories of these girls, it always makes me wonder ... who ARE the buyers of these services? i find it appalling that there is this much demand – what goes on in the mind of a person who wants to have sex with a 10yr old – 7yr old – 6 5 4 ... where does it stop? who ARE these people???
I can not imagine the sadness and emptiness that these women must feel at being separated from their families and children and forced into prostitution.
Knew of a person who was deported to her mother in Asia who was supposedly into child sex trafficking and her mother had sold her in the past.
Very Honorable of Demi Moore to bring the sex trafficking to view!!! So much goes underground! Very impressive and looking forward to watching it even though it will be emotionally charged!!
How does she remember all of her lies?
She doesn't as she just continues to make new lies :~)
She all lies everything about drowing accident or her pregnant.
I don't buy that accidentally death theory. If it was a accident, it would have went down as accidentally death. The authority would have view it as an accidentally death with the body in its place.
Strange family. It would be very interesting to see Casey Anthony's responses if she did take the stand.
this case gives me a headache and all i watch are the end-of-day clips on ac360 – wonder how much headache medication the jury and judge go through on a daily basis!!
I am sure that they are all very sick of it.
How can the defense place Casey on the stand. She has been telling one story after another. Who would ever believe her now!
That is a good point.
Good point, Nina!!!!! That's right!
This morning I watch coverage of Casey Anthony,....... It was very interesting one, I don't understand that defense team screw up evidence how they are not proof theirs.
This is the way I took that question to Casey's brother.
Congrats New York!
are you going to Syria?
This is such a complex case. What a sad situation for everyone.
Yes Lori....
Very sad right now, That is very complex right now. They don't have it either too.
Proud New Yorker today! (Actually I'm always a proud New Yorker!) I think they did a nice job with the last minute amendments, and put in some good workable language in the religious exemptions.
"Don't look back!"
Good advice.
evan makes very good points, and makes them very eloquently – i would wish him and his partner nothing but the best
We have breaking newa we received Senators passed marriage equal right now.
Congratulations to New York. Finally Equal rights for the Gay population!
i find it intriguing that the religious issues continue to be of such great seemingly negative concern in the issue of gay marriage
I thought that the vote on same sex marriage was expected last night. It sure took them a long time to make that vote.
I must be in the minority, but I still see the word "union" as more pro-equality than the word marriage as it refers to gay rights.
The media likes to make it seem that you (and I) are the minority. If this vote went out to the public and NOT to our senators and congressmen there would be legal unions – not same sex marriages. But as usual the public opinion is set aside for a special interest group. Next will be lobbying for equal "rights" to have children and insurance and tax dollars will be required to cover the costs involved with acquiring children.
Gays have always had exactly the same marital rights as heterosexuals – they have the right to marry the opposite sex. Therefore, there has been no denial of equal rights only a great deal of thought, discussion, and hesitation in providing ADDITIONAL rights that will have significant impact socially, legally, and practically.
i can see how the syrian people feel they have gone too far to turn back – full speed ahead – they have to go forward because there is nothing worthwhile for them to go back to – they may actually have the consistent momentum that they need to keep going forward
Arwa Damon is very courageous to speak out. Never know who is listening
Throughout history, freedom has proving that freedom does cost!
yes i hope arwa and crew and whoever else she is with are able to stay safe – it sounds like a dangerous place to be right now
Hi Anderson. Hi everyone.
It is time we treat all Americans and all people with respect and love. Hats off to the New York lawmakers!!!!
Why not have gay marriage rights? I didn't have to have a bill passed to get married. Just a marriage certificate>
glad to be able to watch the vote taking place this evening
I am a registered Republican and I am very proud of NY today.
It's gonna go before the Supreme Court even if it passes.
I wouldn't hold my breath since ground seems to be made and then lost in the history of this issue.
It's sad and alarming what continues to happen in Syria–the uncontrolled violence.
Good evening everyone
I am so delighted that Gay marriage was passed in New York. Its long over due!! Finally equality!!!
Nina,
Not yet, They are voting right now........ Because we are waiting to pass vote.
They already voted. 25 to 15 for yes
They read off votes but I guess it was not the final vote...
Congressmen and women all already has passed by reiligious protections amendment. Not by Senators.
You are correct... I just got so excited!!! lol
It just now passed 33 to 29! This is wonderful!!!
Yes, It is wonderful news now. I agree.
If they vote approval is ok or not whether they will have legal same-sex marriage.
We have breaking news, we are closely watching events in Albany tonight where the State Senate is expected to vote on gay marriage.
Anderson,
Hi–Happy Friday! It's great to see you on.
I hope to see the NY Senate make some sort of decision tonight.
Good Evening Everyone! Greetings!
