This world is a disgusting place. (That article, not you ray_bees )

 

[Maxi]

Wow, what kinda person are you to put your own child up for auction?

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Im not sure who is worse...the people who put him up or the serious bidders.

 

[fizzlephox]

Sounds like it was a good natured joke and the government is overreacting.

 

[Lil' Timmy]

who knows if it was a "test" or not, but it's pretty ****ing stupid if it is. regardless, they should face some sort of punishment.

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

ROFL ray i love your tasteless posts fsecking priceless

 

[ComradeBadger]

Im not sure who is worse...the people who put him up or the serious bidders.

Agreed.

Child trafficking is a serious problem. Especially related to ritual sarcrifice and peadophilia

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Yeah...To be honest in a perfect world a joke like this might be funny but considering what this could mean and what does in fact go on, its in rather bad taste.

When i say joke by the way, it could be a practical joke you might play on a friend.

"Look Ive sold you on ebay to some American hick"
"Oh nos!"

 

[Maxi]

I agree, people should think a bit more before doing stuff like that, even though it's a joke or a test, as they say in the article.

 

[nw909]

Humans suck :x

 

[The Mullinator]

Maybe the people bidding were childcare workers trying to get the kid out of what would have seemed like a very abusive household.

</optimism>

 

[Shuzer]

Humans suck :x

Don't look on ebay, nw909, I'm trying to sell you

 

[Lil' Timmy]

Don't look on ebay, nw909, I'm trying to sell you

[Lucifer Crass]

If child trafficing is a real issue then the future is forsaken.

 

[The Mullinator]

Child trafficing has probably existed for thousands of years so its not like its anything new.

 

[CrazyHarij]

Lots of people are bidding on my item; "Halflife2.net Staff, including Munro, Abom, ComradeBadger and other famous faces in the HL2 community."

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Obviously not famous enough to appear in your little list... :|

 

[Lucifer Crass]

Why buy a child illegaly when a robot works for nothing and does 10x as much work as a human. Unless its for sex then thats just wrong.

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Its child prostitution that is the problem, illegal labour comes from illegal (Normally adult) immigrants. Its not always cheaper for robots to do it anyway. We always see these "clean" factories using robots, but in reality it can be a nightmare coordinating it. Then there are jobs robots cant do, like small scale farming and the "low end" jobs.

 

[Lucifer Crass]

Is it illegal to sell yourself on the internet?

 

[Shuzer]

Is it illegal to sell yourself on the internet?

Yes. It's also illegal to sell your soul

 

[Lucifer Crass]

Yes. It's also illegal to sell your soul

Are u joking? U really cannot sell your soul?

 

[Shuzer]

Are u joking? U really cannot sell your soul?

lol, it may be "legal" to sell your soul, but, ebay will take the auction down

 

[CrazyHarij]

Obviously not famous enough to appear in your little list... :|

If you're advertising for a sewer area you don't mention the rats.

[Farrowlesparrow]

Anyway if its a sewer area why are you promoting it, and why are Abom, Munro and Badger lord of the sewers?
EDIT: You can reply to this post, but after that lets keep on topic please.

[slicktick]

if it was a joke, then its not funny, it is an actual problem

and if they seriously tried to do it, they are ***king sick

 

[Pauly]

This world is a disgusting place. (That article, not you ray_bees )

Yay my joke is teh best. its spreading!

 

[Epyon]

i would have bought the kid, i always wanted my own child......ok that doesnt sound right, next subject.

 

[fizzlephox]

Epyon you don't know it the kid has some kind of disease or something. It cuold've had ray_bees!

 

[Epyon]

If the kid was ray_bees i would still buy him, just not as much, maybe like 25 cents. ray_bees, do you want to be my child?

 

[Direwolf]

I'd buy them then sell him on Ebay...make a profit of at least five bucks.

 

[Epyon]

i would buy him and eat him................im tired.

EDIT:: opps, didnt read the post that said stay on topic, sorries :/

Sounds like it was a good natured joke and the government is overreacting.

I think in that vein you have to "over-react" because if it was serious... But I see what you mean about it being a joke (not a good-natured one though) because if you intended to enter the human trafficking trade, you could make a lot more money than a singular Euro.
Personally I think the fuss about child trafficking is over-rated - it never did me any harm. Sorry...

 

[NSPIRE]

Wow, I'd at least hope that I'd be worth more than a f*ckin' dollar for cripe's sake. Sheesh.

 

[ComradeBadger]

Child trafficing has probably existed for thousands of years so its not like its anything new.

Yes it has, it's a modern version of the slave trade almost, ok, so not on that scale, but seriously worring none-the-less.

 

[LittleB]

I'm glad they didn't have Ebay when I was born. My mom would have sold me and spent the money on licorice :|
