An Assignment for Class

So, this is my project for the semester. I am writing a blog on contemporary issues in our world today, mostly taken from the New York Times website. I think this will something that almost anyone can benefit from, as it is a new angle on modern topics. A student angle, at that. Hope you enjoy my journey as much as I will! I have a feeling that it's going to be one heck of a ride...

Sex Ads on Craigslist?

So, here's shocker for you.  As I was looking through the New York Times website, I came across this article, titled "Craigslist Has Said It Has Shut Its Section for Sex-Ads".

Now, how would you react to a title like that?

Let's say that I had the same reaction that you did, and leave it at that.

I had no idea that Craigslist even had a section like that on its website.  I was on there over the summer at one point, looking for a car, and I never even noticed.  You would think that something like that might stick out as it would be an unusual thing to be selling.  Yes, well, apparently Craigslist was expecting to make $44 million in revenue just from that this year, until they suddenly banned it.

Honestly, I don't know why they even let it exist in the first place.  It is wrong and...there are no words as to how wrong it is.  Read it for yourself on the website:

No words...
