Most folk would not believe that there is a vast underground in child slavery...especially in the gay world. Many young guys, especially those with little or no family, disappear from society...kidnapped by scouts who look for prime meat. These young guys are then sold to wealthy people, usually from other countries, and "trained" in the arts of slavery and submission. These guys are usually never heard from again.

Of course, this slave trade usually involves older teen guys, not kids. Kids are usually sold into prostitution or used in snuff films. Sad, but true. :worry:

Yes I do believe that there is a vast underground of child slavery. But to say "especially in the gay world" is ridiculous. Is there some? I'm sure there is. But the majority has nothing to do with the "gay world".

I did not say that the majority of missing boys was due to the vast gay world underground. I stated that most of the gay world underground slave trade is with older guys, not kids. However, do not kid yourself here...as a gay man, I have some knowledge of what I am talking about, although I do not run with this "underworld".

There is a whole seedy , gross side of life that part of me wishes I didn't know anything about and another part of me wants to grab an uzi and stop it.

Somehow we need to protect our children.

Inthesticks, thanks for the insight... I think

Sorry if I misinterpreted your meaning. But these were your words "Most folk would not believe that there is a vast underground in child slavery...especially in the gay world. It made it seem as if you are saying that most of it involves gays.

But if that wasn't your meaning, then I'd have to agree with you.

Yep he worded it wrong but I think the slip up was unintentional. Good catch though. When I first read it I thought it was a slander too , but I read your post and thought "no need to reply" Glad it was just bad wording.
