I think the reason this article has less reply then others is the fact that readers realise that prostitution as well as other vices such as gambling and drug addiction is more prevalent in the "Great White North". To give a few minor examples
Slavery- An estimated 6 million slaves abducted and forced from their homelands to work in plantations in the new world by their Christian masters.

Gambling- the biggest gambling city in the world is located in America yes Las Vegas is the real city of sin. All major faiths abhor this pastime and yet it flourishes in a confused mainly christian country.

Prostitution- the wests appestit for slave trafficed woman from Africa and Eastern Europe grows every year. Amsterdam is the worlds leader in this from of torture.

Drug Addiction- the worlds 4th largest commodity valued at $50billion per year flows to western countries to makes sure everyone gets their required hit. Most of the problem seems to be in large American cities and other Christian countries.
