This is the oldest profession and it will never be rid of. If anything legalize it, regulate, and tax it instead of spending millions to fight something so trivial. I mean really, when it comes down to it you pay for sex anyways in other forms. A prostitute its cash and you don't have to listen to the BS after.... great concept for some people! Works well everywhere else where its legal and is a major tax stream for the governments.....

Keeping it illegal pushes shady activities that is unsafe for the women and trafficking. Also doesn't help that we where founded with ultra conservative values that still today. People freak out if they see a boob pop out on TV...... It's really sad that we have been conditioned that way....

interesting; unless, they have proof of a link from his computer to the women offering services, and then back to the person seeking the service; then there may be no State or federal criminal activity; they must come up with evidence that he arranged the contacts between the hookers and the John's; otherwise he is just a dirty old geyser.

Imprison everyone involved in prostitution. Selling usage of your genitalia in public is gutter-trash, low behavior. 1 year in prison first offense for whore and her customer, doubled everytime thereafter.

Legalize it, regulate it, and tax the ^&*(*) out of it. Better system than we have now.

Repeal all laws regarding consenting sex between adults, don't tax it, and damn sure don't regulate my genitalia.

Imprison everyone involved in prostitution. Selling usage of your genitalia in public is gutter-trash, low behavior. 1 year in prison first offense for whore and her customer, doubled everytime thereafter.

because it is so wonderful for big government to regulate your genitals (and so terrible to regulate dumping poison into the air and water)

(sarcasm off)

come on chestypuller, what business is it of yours or the governments what people do with their genitals?

Like the government has no better use for the money spent on catching criminals... the government has no business regulating sex between consenting adults - paid, or unpaid.

The govt's not regulating your genitalia, just not letting you sell usage of it in public. Beyond that narrow exclusion (which seems pretty obvious and logical), you can do what you want. We're just not tough enough on these human garbage who are this low.

Anyone who sells usage of their genitals in public, is basically, sub-human. i think that's the best descriptor.

He watched Risky Business and made it happen for real. What a Hero!! If you let people get some by paying for it you would not have all these "I am in love for a month babies" who's mommy & baby end up on welfare.......this would help the economy get off the ground.

So tell me, how do you feel about sperm donors and surrogate mothers?

Poor chesty, not getting any I'll bet!

ChestyPuller: That's odd, because I thought they were selling the genitalia for use in private. If it happened in public I would imagine it would be easier to demonstrate a crime had happened. It sounds to me like they need to pursue the escorts who broke the law.

Chesty doesn't know what "Liberté, égalité, fraternité" means on his avatar.

What's sad is that you think in the countries "that aren't conditioned this way" as iof they don't view it the same way. Go to France, and watch their commericals. You'll find they, as us, know SEX SELLS. It's not so much prudence as we in the US don't want the FREELR ACESSIBLE airwaves to be chock full of continual envelope-pushing ads for products using sex.

You will also find in countries where there is less prudence over free airwaves and where prostitution is legal, that women are seen in a much greater way, as a second class citizen. France has a very high tolerance for cheating - IF - it's the man cheating. Not so for women.

Also, Go to France. Notice anything about the sexuality being pushed on the airwaves? Mostly female. Huh... go figure.

From the outside looking in, who only wants to scratch the surface, sure, sex is fine, let's spread it around liberally. I'm a guy, I have nothing to lose... except maybe respect for women.

- Dominick

The government is most certainly regulating genitalia, why do you think that prostitution is illegal?

And I think you are awfully confused on the sub-human definition, don't you think it is just as bad to whore yourself out for a company logo to get paid as in NASCAR? It is the same concept a service being provided for pay.

I think if you want small constitutionally limited government then you have to accept that there are things that will be legal and will happen that you don't like, and if you can't then your just as big a statist and hypocrite as those on the left. Then again the problems of this country are derived from both the "right" and "left."

Also a free market dictates that you are free to sell/offer goods AND SERVICES of your desire to others (as long as it does not infringe on the rights of others of course). And if a woman decides she can make a lot of money fast by doing this then there are no rights infringed upon, because she has decided to offer a service for payment. I mean what do you think porn stars and strippers do? This would eliminate the real seedy element of the pimps involved in this trade and would also offer a degree of guaranteed payment due to contract law and enforcement......you know one of the actual jobs the government is supposed to do.

all you people advocating it be legal are PUSHERS.

and pushers NEVER care about children.

if you want it legal, then tell YOUR daughter FIRST to become a hooker prostitute!!

otherwise you are a liar and 2-faced HYPOCRITE PUSHER!

Please cancel my membership.

It strikes me as strange that they would actually have a law against "promoting prostitution", as if prostitution requires any promotion. I think it has been doing quite well on its own. It has been and still is one of America's few thriving enterprises.

This definitely rates in the top 5 of most asinine and non-bearing comments on MSNBC, you don't know what or who anyone cares for or about so stow your ignorance on the topic.

Why would anyone tell their daughter to become a prostitute? Just because we say you should have a right to offer a service that does not infringe on anothers rights for compensation doesn't mean we personally approve morally of it. You are a hypocrite who no doubt spouts chest pounding talking points on free markets and small government until it comes to something you don't morally agree with. Your no better than those on the left that you dislike.

What actually constitutes payment? Cash? Dinner and a movie? Long weekend trip? Day on the boat? Jewelry?

ricardoh - who said anything about 'pushing' it or forcing someone to participate in any way? This is about infringing upon someone else's freedom of choice, where the consequences of that choice do not infringe upon someone else's rights.

You're very confused on what the point of this discussion is.

LOL...Sorry guys..BUT I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING, thanks for all your comments..in special Chesty.. LOL..it's just hilarious to see this can be taken as a serious topic for a State so backwards as New Mexico, when in Nevada, prostitution is not only legal, but accepted as well, and the sex ranches are all over.

Here it is 2012 and they are just getting to 2002-2003. event!

Anyone who sells usage of their genitals in public, is basically, sub-human. i think that's the best descriptor.

typical of the religious reich-wing (not even right-wing, the real right believes in personal freedom). usage of such nazi-inspired terms like "sub-human" combined with a complete lack of comprehension regarding chesty's avatar of "liberty, equality, freedom"

Imprison everyone involved in prostitution. Selling usage of your genitalia in public is gutter-trash, low behavior. 1 year in prison first offense for whore and her customer, doubled everytime thereafter.

Chesty, with an attitude like this, you have no business using an avatar that says "Liberté, egalité, fraternité."

they are not selling it that would be marriage they are just renting it by the hour

Harv Glass:

You've been a member on that professor's website? Or what membership you want to cancel?

As the saying goes, you do not pay prostitute for sex, you pay them to leave when your done. Prostitution is legal and regulated in Nevada and that is the way it should be in every state. Trying to stop it is a losing battle that is not worth wasting money fighting. It is better to regulate it and make sure the women involved get regular health checks to prevent spreading HIV, STDs, etc. Instead of trying to stop it, the government should just make sure that it is done safely. If this is how a woman chooses to make a living, that is her choice. It should remain illegal for the lowlifes out there that force women into prostitution and take huge percentages of their income for "protection." These people should be prosecuted, but above board operations like the "ranches" in Nevada should be licensed and regulated like any other business and allowed to operate in any state.

As for this case, I do not understand how under existing laws that this site did not consitute promotin prostitution. As far as I was aware, this is a crime in every state except Nevada.

Everybody needs a little lovin'. Some guys are unlucky enough to have to pay good money. Why torture them or the ladies who are willing to oblige and need the $$.

I get really tired of hearing this subject debated ad nauseum. Join the 21st Century already.

JS in SD,

"Prostitution is legal and regulated in Nevada and that is the way it should be in every state."

I agree. It's also legal and regulated in some other countries, such as Taiwan, and, I think, Thailand. It's a sensible thing to do.

In response to 1.24. Actually Nazism has NOTHING to do with being religious as they were Darwinists and believed in Eugenics.

joker889,

"Actually Nazism has NOTHING to do with being religious as they were Darwinists and believed in Eugenics."

Actually, that statement is true, but only to a limited extent. Many Nazis were into the so-called "occult", and "occult" organizations such as Theosophy and Anthroposophy played a major role in the lives of many Nazis. The theory of evolution is not anathema to most occultists as it is to Christians. In fact, in a modified form, you could say it forms the basis for the teachings of such organizations as Theosophy and Anthroposophy whose philosophy is basically a mixture of the Hindu Vedanta, Buddhism, and certain ancient Greek philosophies such as Neo-Platonism and Pythagorianism. I am personally in possession of many books written in German and published in Nazi Germany that deal with occult subjects since I have had an interest in the religions of the world most of my life. I majored in philosophy and religion in college.

DP-1888706 - Lived in Germany for 3 years and traveled all over Europe. Also go back to France and Switzerland every year. Married to a Swiss/French women from Europe.

France does not tolerate cheating anymore then we do. The stigma of this view is that of america as well. Because of a few high level cheating cases with public officials here in the USA lead them to think the same as you have said of France.

Now to advertisements, yes there is sexuality in ads but wrong, there is equal ads geared toward women. Also french films show men's cocks unlike in the USA. Couple taking a shower in a us film will at most show her breast however never show the mans genitalia. French, German, Italian, Spanish(Spain) movies will show a couple in a shower scene as it really is. Nothing sexual, just a male and a female showering leaving the tub naked with all to show. Both all that is man, and women.

Prostitution is a carrier over in France, Germany, etc.... Medical care, retirement funding and investments, etc... Its a respected profession for the workers both the male and females that work the industry.

Sorry but your wrong Dominick

In response to 1.24. Actually Nazism has NOTHING to do with being religious as they were Darwinists and believed in Eugenics.

and yet the political, religious right are the biggest proponents of social darwinism and economic eugenics in the US

the nazis were rabidly anti-union, strongly pro business, they withdrew from the league of nations because the league wouldn't see things their way (like the reich-wings desire to pull out of the UN), and , many more examples of the striking parallels between the nazis and the far, political, religious right.

no, not all christians in the US are like that, but an increasing number are, and they are the most dangerous threat to freedom in this country yet. they also love to scream about how they are being "persecuted" for their hate

Please educate yourself on sex trafficking.

Monetary arrangments between consentual adults ins't trafficking. Please educate YOURSELF, Jiminyjiminy.

I seriously doubt this had anything to do with sex trafficking; those girls are usually kept behind closed doors, and for obvious reasons. It involved escorts, if you don't know what those involve I'd suggest reading up on it. So most likely, it really was a victimless crime.

Bentley, I'm sure you're right. I use a web-based escort service and and the arranging is done directly with the "escort" via either phone or e-mail. The site itself does nothing but post pictures and contact details.

By sex trafficking, I'm assuming he was referring to human trafficking for sex Bobby.

Not just paying for sex.

I read an interesting article about how now the legal pot farmers are now fighting the outright legalization since it would allow common folk to grow in the backyard. Rather they prefer a strict licencing system where basically they are in charge of all supplies... Funny how people change views when its going to cut into their wallets!

chestypuller -- what should we do with all your right wing friends who frequent prostitutes. also what about your gay right wing friends?

So is UNM

New laws will be made as a result of this, I'm sure. New laws have to be made concerning the internet....and they will be. Those who laugh at this should get an education in sex trafficking. More prosecutions of the buyers is coming very soon.

You must be one of those Republicans who advocate smaller government... except for sex. LOL

you know that is one of the biggest problems in the country, every time someone does something that somebody else does not like "NEW LAW"

How about this new law, NO MORE NEW LAWS!!! Every law we pass costs money, money in training the enforcers, prosecution, punishment, rehabilitation should I keep going?

if we cut out many of the laws that we have on our books today our gov't could save BILLIONS!!!

Stop trying to prosecute people for doing what they want, if they are not hurting anyone else, then let it be, it is none of your business... :)

Agreed, Bob. Our legal system is already so labyrinthine that you need an advanced degree and years of training to figure it out. There are so many laws that people break minor statutes all the time without realizing it; we say "ignorance of the law is no excuse," but that attitude kind of breaks down when you have thousands of laws regulating things that don't need to be regulated.

This here is a perfect example. Why should it be illegal to "encourage" prostitution? What does that mean? If I say that a sexually frustrated person should just stop complaining and rent a hooker, does that make me a criminal? This man was neither prostitute, client, or pimp, so why does he have to defend himself? Ridiculous.

And what does this have to do with the college?

Liberals run colleges because Conserv thought it was a waste of time, you could have alot more power and money from other places. Most Liberals teach because they love to help others and enjoy the exchange of ideas

I don't remember any complaints from the right that they were being kept out of education for the last 30 years??

and how do we know a Liberal President is at fault for this?

Politics in unrelated as prostitution predates civilized order and creation of liberal, democrat or republican. Jackass...

I think you generalized quite a bit to much there toldin...... I don't believe the great majority of those considered "the right" thought it was a waste of time or that they just wanted "money and power", just like I don't believe that the majority of those on "the left" do it "because they love to help others and enjoy the exchange of ideas." Anyone who has had a college class with a liberal professor can attest that most don't want to exchange ideas but rather have you adopt theirs, and if you don't your grades suffer because of it.

I think people should learn to be less partisan and more aware of the actual world and not their failed ideology.

Yes De Tocqueville, I had a professor like that. He believed that what he thought was CORRECT, and if we didn't think that way, we were wrong. I wrote a paper for the end of semester, and basically told him how I felt, and that I didn't agree with his views and why.

Needless to say, I didn't pass that class.

Some can't deal with others having differing opinions than theirs. If we don't agree, then we must be stupid.

Myself, I don't understand why people would hire a hooker, but that's just me. Morally I think it's wrong, but I also think abortion is wrong too, and that's legal.

I suppose that making it legal would make it so that the hookers would get proper health care checkups so as to not spread STDs. If it was regulated and taxed, that would help some areas money wise.

Exactly, we have to understand that our own personal morality defines ourselves only, not the whole of society. I don't care for abortion, however I don't want to outlaw it or tell someone else that they cannot have one because it is not my place. However I do feel that men are not given equal rights when it comes to abortion, child custody, etc but that is a whole different discussion.

You cannot legislate morality on society, individuals must first become moral in order for society to be granted the title of moral. As with anything it comes down to the individual, and individual liberties (both civil and economic).

I am more concerned with issues that are morally wrong that have a greater impact such as undeclared wars and continued war mongering, a fiat currency designed to generate more revenue for the Washington crowd to spend without addressing the American people and thereby causing continued inflation through the devaluing and over circulation of our currency, as well as poor fiscal policy with gross overspending and borrowing by the government, civil liberties being eroded at a record pace by Democrats and Republicans, and our economic liberties being taken away while we continue to repress actual Capitalism in favor of this Corporatist/Crony-Capitalist/Crypto-Fascist economic system that relies on government manipulation that has caused continued damage to social mobility-production-cost-and the middle class.

We are being so easily distracted from what is important by useful partisan idiots that are hell bent on towing their party line while behind the Washington scenes both parties are working together for the same ends.

De Tocqueville, your comments are almost entirely correct and I am in agreement except for the part of legislating morality. All societies regulate morality to one degree or another based on what might be seen as rather universal tenents of 'morality' - murder, murder for hire, assault, theft, number of spouses, etc., are all based on 'morality' (though number of spouses varies by culture, there is still some form of regulaton). Most, but not all, moral tenents relate to adverse outcomes caused by one to another. The key difference in the case of prostitution is the idea of 'no harm' between consenting adults. Knowingly spreading STDs is another matter which has already been addressed by the courts.

When I worked with law enforcement, the primary reason for going after prostitution wasn't especially the sex part but that many other criminal and health impairing acts very typically accompany it - theft, robbery, assault, drugs, disease and the like. However, legalization and regulation would eliminate most of these issues. Properly controlled, it is truly a victimless crime and clearly one that is not going away. One could argue that often money for these activities are syphoned from money needed to support the user's family but that would be no different than a similar argument for gambling which is legal in most states.

Legalize, regulate, inspect and tax. While this will anger many zealots it is the right thing to do for our country and will allow us to focus on the real issues of importance to our nation. No more distractions!

You're pretty clueless if you don't know the difference between a relationship and paying a stranger to let you perform sex acts with her.

Cal, how do you know it's a "her"? There are male escorts too.

"What is the difference between cash and dinner & a movie?"

About four hours!

(Badum-tish!)

This is exactly why it should be legalized and regulated.

Nexus1g,

and why is that? that the prostitutes have STD's when you can go to Germany, France, Holland and many other countries, and they do not have that issue with the prostitutes their? answer: regulation of the industry, it is not happening in the dark, it is in the light of day, want to be a prostitute? alright, get a license, along with that comes STD tests weekly, you get caught on the street, license is gone for good, and you are in jail for a year, in many countries this is a respectable living, not some back alley operation that puts everyone at risk!

I spent 7 years in Holland, NEVER saw a prostitute walking the streets, never saw a crack head, meth head, or any other serious dope users, and guess what? Pot was legal, and so was prostitution!

Someone (or their spouse) who contracts an STD from a prostitute is not a victim. Do you think the prostitute forced the 'john' to take that chance.....like she raped him?

Ummm... the point being made in the article is they wanted the attorney to say what it was used for. Back to Journalism 101, dude.

Calm down now...just go crawl back in your padded room and it will all be ok.

Byron, babe! You left out gay marriage. Shame on you.

At least we have some people smart enough to know that this is all just because we have a 'liberal' President; back when good ol' Ron was President, there was no prostitution ...

Obama > Bush

Bush < Obama

Obama = Bush

The morals and activities of sexually frustrated people with cash to spare do not concern me. Whatever they do is on them until they decide to commit a REAL crime that actually affects innocent people, like theft, assault, or rape.

The morals and activities of my local police and prosecutor do. I don't want them wasting their time, other people's time, and my tax money on this BS.

And all this time I thought that Manning was getting lots of acclaim for quarterbacking the winning team in the Super Bowl! Oh, you mean that Wikileaks weiner? Having to look at him is torture enough, but I would say that actually spending time with him would be worse. How is disclosing classified information that endangers security operations upholding the U.S. Constitution?

Another tea partier that can't see the forest from the trees. Pvt Manning, pea brain, swore to uphold the Constitution and just because those revelations caused America to lose its moral standing in the world, doesn't mean that Pvt Manning didn't do what he swore to uphold, obey. War crimes, government malfeasances are required to be reported and since nothing was done, he took the next step, a la Daniel Ellsbergh from the Pentagon papers, to reveal our evil ways. BTW, do you know how many years Daniel was facing if convicted? 115 years. And you know what the court said then? Not guilty and his case, revelations included Top Secret information. Some judges have said and rightfully so, that the government can't classify war crimes, malfeasances as security; the problem now is with the supreme farce in charge now, jurisprudence went out the window, taking along our Constitution. I don't expect you to understand, cause with your comment you are not worthy of untying Pvt Manning's shoes or carry his rifle.

I don't particularly care about Manning one way or the other, but I have to wonder where exactly in the Constitution it mentions "War crimes, government malfeasances are required to be reported"? I don't remember that Amendment. I'm pretty sure that he wasn't upholding any Constitutional tenet, nor is the government violating the Constitution by prosecuting him.

That said, our government IS doing plenty of other stuff to undermine the Constitution, from killing people without trial to revoking people's citizenship. You should save your outrage for the real problems.

Off topic much people?

For the SF Accountant. Are you, in any way, Willie Nelson's accountant? Well, one thing is to ignore the 800 Lbs gorilla in the room, quite another deny that war crimes were committed or are not mentioned per se by it. Just FYI, if the retard pervert of Texas and his mafia men ever get the desire of going to Europe, well according to what the media says and friends of our war criminals advise them is don't go there, cause warrants for y'all arrest is at the ready fire and the retard pervert from Texas cancelled his trip to Switzerland. He is dumb, but not that dumb.

I know that you are not a constitutional scholar, actually, by your stupid comment you don't even know what the Constitution stands or is for. Let me enlighten you a bit, but I'm not sure I'm going to amke you think otherwise because something tells me your mind is already made up, but let me give it a try.

Does the Constitution says any thing about war crimes? I don't recall it ever being mentioned per se. Was abortion ever mentioned by the Constitution? I don't recall that either, but it was illegal prior to 1973, I think and the I think refers of course to the year. There are plenty of issues that seem not covered by the Constitution, but depending on the case, you can place it somewhere that pertains to it. Does the Constitution mentions the burning of the flag being unconstitutional? Again, I don't recall, but congress has tried to make it a constitutitional issue and the supreme court has said, not the retard that we now have, but previous supreme courts, that burning of the flag is guaranteed by the Constitution because it falls within the parameters of freedom of expression.

Let me tell you what the Constitution does say about war crimes, again, don't lose me on this one, but here it goes: What rights should terror suspect
have?

1. The right
to appear before a judge to determine if his imprisonment is legal.

2. The right
to be presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable
doubt.

3. The right
to know the charges against him.

4. The right
to examine all evidence against him.

5. The right
not to have evidence used against him that was extracted through
torture.

6. The right
not to be required to testify against himself.

7. The right
not to have hearsay evidence used against him (that is, evidence provided by a
witness who testifies, not to what he knows personally but to what someone else
told him or her).

8. The right
to cross-examine those who testify against him.

9. The right
not to be imprisoned indefinitely without trial.

10. The right
to appeal the court's decision to a higher court.

Now, let tell a lot more about something that you should know, but obviously you seem can't see the forest from the trees.

I'm not, of course, a constitutional scholar, but let tell you that Germany had also a Constitution and look what happened to the Nazis. There is a controversy, of course, between those who says the Constitution takes precedence ove the Constitution and others that say the opposite, but Constitution or not, it didn't help the Nazis a damn bit, they were given a free pass to the other side. Heck, they say, we were just following orders and you know what the judges at Nuremgergh told them: Guess again, wrong.

Does the Constitution mentions impeaching a president, government official for obstruction of justice? Or a blow job? Of course not, but that right is given to congress to decide and if they want to impeach some one for a blow job, they can and yes, Virginia, they did, or have you already forgot.

The Geneva Convention, the UN have accused the U.S. of war crimes, but the problem here is who has the guts to bell the cat? Nobody, but that doesn't mean war crimes are not punishable. Denial is not just a river and those brought before the Hague can calim this and that, but they are sent to prison. Since you are too dummie to understand, let me also explain about torture and water torture in particular. Does the Constitution states any thing about water torture? Of course not, well, pea brain, we executed Japanese soldiers for doing just that. Those crimes that you don't see, or better yet, don't want to see means that they are not there per se, but yes they are but in general terms. For example, getting back to impeachment, The words: What Are "High Crimes and Misdemeanors?" Covers many "crimes, including war crimes and malfeasances", ergo, war crimes are covered. That said, remember, it's up to congress to decide and it doesn't have any thing to do what the Constitution says or implies, cause, I don't care how you slice it, but a blow job or lying under oath shouldn't be an impeachable offense, but knowing that congress is a craddle of vipers, laws, tenets many times don't amount to a hill of beans and if you don't believe me, look at all our war criminals raoming around free and Manning who try to defend the Constitution is facing a lifetime in prison. Yes, I know, you don't get it and no matter how I try to explain it, your one track mind will stay say: The Constitution doesn't mention war crime, nor malfeasances. Maybe you should.ve tried that baloney with Nixon, but oops, too late. I hope that helps, although I have my doubts for reasons already expressed, but that, Mr. ignoramus, is your problem.

Lots and lots of them dude! Duh!!

Don't trhink most people who are murdered would call it a "victimless crime."

Really, smoking pot and prostitution is on the same level as murder? That is the best you can come up with?

I doubt anyone would chose to get murdered. These other 'crimes' are performed by consenting adults.

Murder is already legalized. Join the army and enter a warzone. Boom, you can shoot certain people with zero consequences. You can even get a medal for it.

We make plenty of allowances for people killing people to be justified. Military action, self-defense, capital punishment, and to a very limited extent, assisted suicide.

But for some reason we Californians can't even legalize marijuana for medicinal purposes without butting heads with the Feds. Hell, Nevada managed to get prostitution legalized for their state! What are we doing wrong?

Rapists are about using sex to exert power and dominance, so your theory is full of crap. Think that we would never have heard of Jerry Sandusky if prostitution were legal in State College, Pa.? Is there any evidence that he ever went to Bangkok or somewher like that? Is there anywhere that there are no prostitutes just because prostitituion is illegal? There are several compelling arguments for legalizing prostitution between consenting adults, but yours is NOT one of them. On a scale of one to ten it's about a zero.

I would suspect some rapes are performed because the guy is horny and can't get any. It isn't fair to state that rapes are ALL performed because of some very specific reason as you suggest. I would expect that if prostitution were legalized, the rate of occurrence of rapes would be mitigated by some unknown (unknown to me AND you) amount.

In fairness to both of you, we have no idea of any substantial link between rape and prostitution. The only reason to think that legalizing the latter would decrease the former is if you think of "sex" as a total supply versus demand thing, with the supply side containing every possible means of obtaining it all mixed together. That's a rather crude way of conceptualizing complex psychological matters.

You're an idiot.

And you're a child who can't deviate from name calling.

dennisoy,

Is that the best you can do???

dennisoy

Get a sense of humor or better yet just GO AWAY!

Dennisoy must be one of the people who constantly worries that someone somewhere is getting laid. Get a life, dude. It's only sex.

Oh, you said, "Get a life". At first I had misread it as "get a wife" and believe me, that's no answer.

@Rlquall: :)
