I think it is fair to say that Vice has been generally discountenanced without the aid of any particular society. Usually such societies find a few new vices to discountenance that in the past had never bothered anybody much and in the process, create truly horrific new vices, such as the Irish Magdelene Laundries.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magdalene_Laundries_in_Ireland" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magdalene_Laundries_in_Ireland" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magdalene_Laundries_in_Ireland</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
