True, but at a young age, few of us knew the kinds and extent of compromises we would make along the way. We are all whores. We only rationalize the large and small sales of ourselves by our personal credos and perception of cultural acceptance. There is a big difference between "whoring" oneself in the figurative sense and having to risk your life on the streets to survive. And for the record, I think prostitution should be legalized and regulated. This would help protect the safety and the health of all involved. On the human side of it though, I think it is very sad that men and women have to resort to paying for sex or providing it for money. I think sex is one of the most beautiful gifts we are given, and to cheapen it this way must make people feel empty in their hearts.

The Thunderbirds are moving to Kent.

I would argue that many women are coerced into prostitution and legalization will not change this fact - and not even improve the situation (it could make it worse). It is as if no one has noticed that when you ask a gal of any age what she wants to be when she grows up, she NEVER says, "a whore". I can't recall any saying "IT professional" or "waitress" either. Obviously your experience with females is rather limited.

Does anyone get this bitter without having been?

yeah, stay in Germany. The Swiss are assholes.

Are you kidding? They are the only good part of the marriage.

In the era we are talking about, that was not even considered. I have a few suggestions on history books that might be interesting to you and would help round your views out a bit (sorry if that sounds condescending--it honestly is not intended that way).

I rehearse A LOT. Still can't do anything to a 14c. It's absolutely amazing to me. Even when I see someone climb something "really hard" in real life, I am astounded. The full majesty of climbing hits me hard anytime I see anyone do something like this. I simply can't imagine not being blown away by people who perform at such levels.

You are lucky I like hairy men.

Prohibition was a different situation; yet the same in some ways. The Temperance Society was mostly made of women who, without any power or representation in the political/legal system, had no protection from husbands who became abusive when drinking. This was their only effective way to protect themselves from abuse. This is a moral argument for Prohibition.

Arrested, cited, and released. Oooh, what a deterent! It seems like more of a nuisance and hassle than anything really harmful to them. And enforcement is arbitrary and hardly comprehensive. Thanks for making my point. So why waste the time and money? Hold on, buddy. My point was that legalizing prostitution does not mean you have happy, wonderful lives for these women, as claimed by one poster in this thread. "they are paid for sex, what could be better?" That's all I am responding to. It's a fantasy. Being the voice of reason in this discussion won't get you anywhere.

I'm sure her first concern was impressing you An incredible accomplishment--one I could never dream of doing no matter how many years I climbed. Good for her!

Simply phenomenal. What are the odds? Marriage is not a contract. It is an insurance policy... for the woman! Yeah, insurance against being too happy. Or free. Or getting laid very often.

But what will I do with all that extra money? hookers and blow?

Great movie!

Really? I heard yours was right around twenty seconds.

What's a portent?

I like morning sex.

Of what? Some dude eating lunch while sitting on a rock. Oh wait, that could be good...

Just another whiny bitch on cc.com

and using the word "fecund" somewhere on them. Or maybe "feculant". SOmething clever. Maybe it could be the next cc.com wardrobe

That is a crack up. Speaking of cracks, I need shorts that say something about shit being wonderful as fertilzer.

Don't get married. Best advice I can give you.
