Not quite the same thing...

Then why ask? Those of you who can't tell the difference between parody and hate need to go back to grade school. This is basic and obvious folks.

...and instead ask "Is it moral in general to pay for prostitutes?"

Ok. No. It's not.

Prostitution is most often a choice. People have the right to make their own decisions. Forced prostitution is illegal servitude (prostitution is a symptom of the actual issue) and should be dealt with as such.

There are so many Moral Avengers in our society it sickens me. Let people do what they want to do in the privacy of their own homes. As long as people are not depriving others of their constitutionally-given rights the rest of us have no damn business telling them what they can and cannot do - if anything, that infringes on THEIR rights. Morality, religious or otherwise, is as broad as the number of individual interpretations and should not be used as the basis for laws which infringe on an individuals right to choose for themselves.

...this will clog up the casual encounters section...

Great point! Cause it's not completely overrun by spammers already as it is *rolls eyes*

And your point is... what exactly?

His shtick is funny and has more truth in it than O'Reilly/GB's festering mouth(s) could ever dream of.

...the fact you can speak anything...

Although I generally agree with you on the overall point, I must quibble with this particular statement.

There are a few things that the First Amendment does not protect and certain forms of hate speech is undoubtedly one of them. Although it is legal to have any viewpoint you choose, it is not necessarily legal to speak certain things publicly. Inciting riots or threatening another individual with physical harm are good examples of speech which is not covered by the First Amendment. Privately however, the First Amendment likely does cover these; a fine line perhaps but an important one nonetheless.

Na, its just one way. You know, a gift of human generosity.

No...

Yes. You are both correct.

I dont want to hate on Americans, but seriously, you...

So don't asshat. The silent majority of us aren't pissing into the wind. Get over it is right but don't be a douche and lump us all into a single category, thanks.

The hell it isn't asshat. I quit my job and started a graphic design and web development company on the very day in 9/2008 that the stock market fell 600+ points.

I have a family and a mortgage, am self-educated with a high-school diploma and a recovering alcoholic with 11 years sobriety. Although its been super tough, my business is still here, about to celebrate 2 years, and is growing.

Those who can't/don't make it are victims of life being life in a dog-eat-dog world. The fact that I am making it against all odds and statistics is a testament to the greatness of the US and the reality of the American Dream (which absolutely still exists).

Just because an individual (you or anyone else) in this country doesn't make it doesn't mean the system doesn't work - it means that individual was either in the wrong place at the wrong time and should try, try and try again until they make it, or they simply don't have what it takes to be competitive. Our society gives equal opportunity but that doesn't mean we're all capable.

Complaints about US capitalism shine brilliant light on an individual's inability, not the system's. It's called hard work and not giving up and it works out for the majority that play the game well. The alternatives (such as socialism) are worse in reality than in real life, thanks.

Social programs are good, Socialist Government experiments fail to provide the opportunity and innovation a system like ours creates. It may not be perfect, but it sure as hell is better than pretty much any other system out there so far.

It's just as sad that so many asshats in our society file frivolous lawsuits making it more difficult for legit complaints to be taken seriously.

Corporate does not automatically equal lack of accountability. The bigger companies become the more difficult it becomes to manage false claims vs. legit ones. Using bad PR is a great resource to help a company perform better in the future.

That's not sad, it's just life.
