"I don't support prostitution. But I also don't support wasting money on enforcement that doesn't have a prayer of working. So legalize it, tax it and make it pay for itself. Same goes for marijuana."
I agree 100%!

The US has nothing to do with this; it is about Canada and the nations where the Canadian nationals were taken and tortured. If it's proven the Canadian officials did indeed play a role in the unlawful detention and torture, then I believe the men deserve to file lawsuits.

I'm sorry, bud, but while he may have done it by accident, there's NO WAY he did it as a joke, because the joke is 100% on HIM! He is a frigging laughing stock over this now, too! The Russians are passing it…
Thenewfront/rjd_jr: True, very true, but this kind of thing is a rarity in SKorea, but happens more frequently in Japan. It'll no doubt scare the Japanese though, who are going over to SK in droves thanks to the weakest Won in years.
