The difference is simple. Nobody has to be forced into slavery to rub your dirty junk.

Are people forced into slavery to rub his back? I thought the whole argument was that people are being forced into slavery to be prostitutes.

I have two thoughts on this.

First, I doubt Kraft went there because he has some Asian child sex slave fetish. He was probably drunk and asked the limo driver to take him somewhere he could get some female attention. The limo driver probably gets a kickback from this place.

Second, there is no way he didn't have a suspicion his girl had been trafficked. I drive past an Asian massage parlor every day there are four reasons I've never stopped in, number two on the list is I think there a high likelihood that some or all of the girls are human trafficking victims and I don't want to be a party to that.

The other three reasons are, I don't want to get caught in a sting, I don't want to cheat on my wife, and before reading about Kraft, I thought they cost a lot more money.

Kraft was a repeat customer, so I would think long and hard about assuming he didn't know.

The thing about slavery is that slave traffickers can offer services at a low cost to the end user, because those costs are being borne in suffering by the slave.

No, that merely characterizes the right wing position, which today in America, allied with Trump, is very close to white supremacy, coupled with nationalism, and affirmation of right wing dictators.

The evidence, as you acknowledge, is in fact that Trump declared "That I can tell you is horrible. ..."

When you admit you were wrong, you do not lose credibility; you gain it, because you then show yourself to be open to evidence, whichever direction it goes.

Consenting? I don't think you understand how human trafficking works.

Is sex trafficking a problem in countries where prostitution is legal?

Countries with legalized prostitution are associated with higher human trafficking inflows than countries where prostitution is prohibited. The scale effect of legalizing prostitution, i.e. expansion of the market, outweighs the substitution effect, where legal sex workers are favored over illegal workers. On average, countries with legalized prostitution report a greater incidence of human trafficking inflows.

And lets not forget human trafficking ism ore than just sex jobs. Sweat shops, sewing rooms, ball inflation, ball deflation etc

Maybe human trafficking wouldn't be as big of a problem, if prostitution was legal, regulated and had oversight.

Not true at all. Human trafficking is still rampant in places like Europe and Nevada where it is legal, regulated, etc. What you fail to understand is that this is an industry people do not want to be involved in. Science can make a pill that can give an old withered man like Kraft an erection, what science can't do is make a pill that will convince some female that that old man is attractive.

It's simply untrue that "people" do not want to be involved in prostitution. People who are in the trenches fighting against sex trafficking will tell you that there is a class of sex workers who do this of their free will. There are countless sex workers who if you take the time to talk to them rather than imposing your notions upon them will say the same thing.

time to laugh

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

While I agree with you that:

"It's simply untrue that "people" do not want to be involved in prostitution."

and that

"There are countless sex workers who if you take the time to talk to them rather than imposing your notions upon them will say the same thing."

...this does not really contradict what the previous poster had written. It may well be a matter of numbers. It may be true that "not enough people want to be involved in prostitution" which is ultimately what the previous poster's conclusions rely upon.
