Reply #94: the person seemed very accomodating

Perhaps if you have to deal with poverty day in and day out it can desensitize you to things. It's also possible the persons non-confrontational attitude is the reason why they were in that position to begin with. Normally it serves them as a social worker, in this case it made them look like a fool. People often fail when placed in ever growing absurd situations. See for example the career content of Sacha Cohen's work or the Daily Show.

The one women seems to know a lot about hiding money from your pimp. That's probably not a very nice picture of the reality of that persons life. I imagine there life didn't just get a lot better having lost their ACORN job.

I was not shocked to find in organizations dealing with a lot of poverty and drawing workers from those impoverished regions could find itself in the situations on those tapes. It's probably more a reflection of society in impoverished America than a condoning of the illegal activities these people seemed to condone. There is nothing funny about child prostitution, I have no idea why Jon Stewart thought this material was so funny last night:(
