The SCUM Manifesto (Society For Cutting Up Men) is a feminist tract written in 1968 by Valerie Solanas that calls for the gendercide of men. After being put in the spotlight for shooting Andy Warhol, Valerie Solanas later claimed that her writing was a satirical literary device[1][2] to elicit debate.[3]

Perhaps that "satirical literary device to elicit debate" worked here as well.

Awwww shucks! sheclown one of these days our paths will cross, I guarentee it...........cindi , I got no more pull with JSO then you do, but you have something I don't...........you have a Council person who represents you so start bugging the hell out of them until JSO starts showing up and doing something! E Mail......phone call.....I would not let that bugger have any rest until! District 13's representative, John Meserve, was removed by Charlie Crist and that dip stick has not seen fit to name a replacement! So you have something I don't have, representation on the Council kid.............talk about being hung out!

really? we are suppose to call jso? trust me, we have called, we have written, we have gone to shadco meetings, we have emailed.  cliffnote version - you moved to da hood, now live with it.  queens harbor (my fave as far as neighborhoods to be compared to) has just as many hookers (seriously, that's what we were told at a shadco meeting, can't make this crap up) they are just better looking (which we took great offense to, as heho's go, we got it going on).  you can't video tape them if they are on a public right of way (again, can't make this crap up).  if you walk on the sidewalk in front of flagship apartments, they (the hehos living there at the time) might feel threatened and would be justified to shoot.  in order to look for a perp (not perv, those are different requirements) you must know their legal name and date of birth.  and the most fitting for the youtube video - drum roll please - "we can't arrest them if we don't see them doing it" (regarding the exposing themselves in the roads etc.- let's hope the officer's seeing eye dog was driving the cruiser because he himself must be blind as a bat.  oh, and the "dispatch doesn't have caller ID" (go ahead call from your cell and give your home number and see how fast they can tell you without that magic of caller ID, that you have called from a different number.

cindi..........you misunderstand kid! You have a Council representative on the City Council! Someone represents your part of the world! I would not be calling JSO, unless it is 911 situation, I would be calling and E Mailing your representative! That is their job to represent the people who voted them into office! Now whether or not you voted for them does not matter..........they represent whatever district you are in! So start bugging them....go the coj.net site for the City of Jacksonville and find out who your representative is, if you don't know already, and bug the ever loving heck out of them until they put a fire under JSO's butt and you get something done about the problem! If you don't raise hell, the situation will not change.........so get on them whoever they are!

[cindi]

ah, but you see, we are told to call, call, call, the more calls generated, the more love you get.  we do use the non-emergency number.  and yes, i know who my rep is - i have visuals of nailing jello to a tree.  teets on a boar hog. soup sandwich. football bat.  i think you get the idea.

[CS Foltz]

Maybe you need to treat them like a mule..........you know 2 x 4 between the eyes to get their attention! If they are not term limited, they will want to run again so make your views known! Maybe a collective add in the TU about how good they represent their voters or maybe a Bill Board for 30 Days might not be too expensive! There is strength in numbers for sure but call, call, call your rep! I would become the biggest pain in the butt that sucker has ever seen and all of my neighborhood included! The more the merrier, untill you wear that non-performing sucker out and they do their job!

[sheclown]

Foltz, crime in Springfield is rather complicated.  Back 10 years ago, 5th and Market was the center of the universe for male prostitution in drag.

Then that block became SRG's Glory Block and the prostitutes were "displaced" out of this area, and over to Cindi's side of Springfield.

Cindi , we just need to find them a "foster neighborhood".  Perhaps we could do a fund raiser for financial incentives? 

[CS Foltz]

Should have seen it 20 years ago when I first showed up around here! My missus was horrified.....but that was then and this is now! I think you might be on to something......as in "foster neighborhood". Only problem might be finding an area that would be willing to accept them.......so you might have to convert them! Or you might have to start spreading the word about an affliction that they have that drugs don't cure?

This site is really going downhill fast.  A bunch of false accusations go unchecked but if you ask someone a question, you get your post removed.  And threads get locked the minute a discussion goes against one of the main posters on here. 

Anytime foul, racial or off color stuff is brought to our attention, we go in and try and weed it out. It keeps about 7 of us busy in our spare time, round the clock. Even with our best efforts threads will spin out of control and something checked just 30 minutes ago, has run on into a slaughter fest of name calling with dozens of posts. When this happens our best defense is just to shut it down. Note that I said shut IT down, and not shut YOU down... Stephendare like anyone else has to report it to us for our consideration, he has no magic button to make your statements vanish, which means he debates with you or anyone else on an even field.

CS that isn't how it is done with mules! Thought you were old enough to know that one? If we want to tackle the male HO problem in town like one handles mules, a bit of instruction is due:

When a mule fails to pull it's load on a double team rig, there is only one sure cure. First a "kicking strap" must be rigged to prevent said animal from kicking while in harness. Next A rather rough board must be affixed to the rear of the harness with several nasty long nails or small spikes pointed in the general direction of the mules posterior.
While the good mules pulls and the lazy mule falls back it will poke itself in the rump with the spikes and bolt ahead quickly learning it's place in the animal team.

So it seems to me we need to round up the male hookers, and someone bring the kicking straps... I'm leaving the rest up to y'all!

[CS Foltz]

Your right Ock...........forgot all about that one and come to think on it, might be the corrective action to take! I also agree with the MJ Board on how to regulate the discussion posts..............gotta have discussion to come to a conclusion and when it gets out of hand, there is not much choice but to shut the thread down! I have to say though, I don't see any better way to control things!

MJ prides itself on being part of the solution... whatever the percieved problem may be.  It is about ideas and solutions.  Unproductive bickering and personal attacks and race baiting can be found on virtually any thread on the TU site.

All we ask as moderators is civility and a genuine attempt to seek out new ideas and find solutions to our cities problems.

CS that isn't how it is done with mules!

I believe the 2x4 was to be directed to the Council representative, not the ho's.

finehoe............you are correct! To me, there is not something much more depressing that having your elected representative ignore their constituents! That is their job, that is why they are there and why they got elected in the first place! Council representation is critical to correct any situation involving flesh markets and/or drugs along with JSO participation! Now I know all about prioritizing and do agree, but if crime is down, and supposedly it is according to the Sheriff, why can we not allocate some resources to this particular problem? Why has not the Council representative taken it upon themself to at least try to correct the situation? If it was my world, their phone would not stop ringing and their E Mail in box would fill up to capacity............after all we pay for their phone and the E Mail Box so do your job! Instead of just a block  or two, organize awhole lot more.....get with some of the owners on Main Street and ask about leaving a petition or a log in sheet regarding the situation and start getting some signatures........4 or 500 should get some attention and give them a time range to produce...........if they don't start calling the TU and local news..........they allways like that kinda of stuff! Make sure you include your lack of responce from your Rep and JSO!
