		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Ms. Q:&lt;/strong&gt; What can I tell you? Food is something I enjoy immensely. LOL... Sam's Club? I could only imagine. They would probably put the table way in the back. 

&lt;strong&gt;Ricardo:&lt;/strong&gt;Exactly!</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;The Fitness Diva:&lt;/strong&gt; You're right, he is. People in glass houses... Now the house is tumbling down. I believe the woman's pimp sets the price. Between the pimps cut and what she walks away with will tell you a lot. But what we must all realize is how much she values her time. That and what qualities and in what quantity she is giving it away.

&lt;strong&gt;Meleah:&lt;/strong&gt; I'm not so sure it isn't illegal. I've seen people get hauled off after trying to pick up hookers. Not sure what the charges are.. solicitation maybe? I know they pay fines and such. No male ever does serious time though. But I'm no lawyer. I'll have to do some research. It isn't right but this is the system we live in.

&lt;strong&gt;Ms. Q:&lt;/strong&gt; I've never quite embraced the concept of religion. Indeed, most of it all seems to contradict each other. You've pointed it out better than I can so I'll leave it at that. What I find disturbing about religion are the fanatics that preach to you about right and wrong. Don't judge me because of who I am. Make sure all your ducks are in a row. I appreciate the sharing of info but don't condemn me if I don't agree with you.

So true Ms. Q regarding the price. No one wants a value meal ho. I would prefer, if I actually paid for something such as sex (which I won't), to have what cost the most. But I'd have to check out a sample or a demo video before I put a deposit down. (J/K)</description>

		<description>I had only skimmed the headlines on my way to checking email when it came to Spitzer and The Vatican. I am not worked up about either.

However, I have thought about "sin" and heaven and when I was a kid I remember reading about Jesus in one of those Golden Edge (or Golden-something...) picture books. They showed him all kind looking with sheep and children clustering around him.

I wasn't raised with any religion, though. When I did learn about Christianity I was always confused about how "Jesus died for our sins" combined with "God loves everyone" and the idea of hell scared me but somehow despite my feeling like I wasn't Good, I couldn't see going to hell. 

The reason was because if God loves us and Jesus died for our sins, how could any of us ever go to hell? Or be punished? I have never taken a comparative religion class but I have felt that if we all all beautiful in the eyes of God, then we are all beautiful - that means even those who we would consider monsters. I won't mention who they are.

It's off topic but I think my reasoning is similar to my thoughts on Free Speech. I hear people complaining about racist comments (like what some white supremist thoughts) but free speech is exactly that - Free Speech whether we agree on what's said or not. 

So if God loves everyone then He loves everyone. 

Regarding the price of the call girl - she charged what the market could bear I guess! Also, people set their expectations based on price. For example, if the same woman charged a dollar, she'd probably be thought of as no big whup and she got the job done. But at several $K, well, any customer is going to be inclined - to have an expectation of having uh...their cup runneth over.</description>

		<description>Maybe someone can explain all of this to me, as I am completely ignorant when it comes to this subject matter. Correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t something is rather askew here?

Why it is illegal for a woman to be a prostitute, but it is not illegal for the men to use their services? 

And if it is illegal for the men to use their services shouldn’t they be arrested and / or heavily fined when they are publicly busted? 

Enlighten me please!</description>

		<description>Elliot Spitzer is a joke.  He held himself up to be such a highly moral character, and the whole time, he was living this depraved double life as "client #9".  He publicly decried something he himself was participating in.  That is the HEIGHT of hypocrisy, and he deserves to have the whole house of cards come tumbling down on him.  
Enough with these damn double standards!
The news today is that he's retiring, and well he should.  Forget any thoughts of a future presidency, buddy!
BTW, Kudos to the girl that can command 4,300 an hour.  What the hell do you get for that???</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;IW:&lt;/strong&gt; I've realized those who make the rules don't have to follow them. Perhaps they believe they are above the laws of God?

&lt;strong&gt;Mike:&lt;/strong&gt; I think we are already experiencing a form of it.

&lt;strong&gt;OP:&lt;/strong&gt; The extra five hundred is for that toy I wish not to speak of.

&lt;strong&gt;Stylus:&lt;/strong&gt; Per hour? That is worst. I heard he went for three. I hope he got his moneys worth.</description>

		<description>Loving this post - was hoping that you'd put your spin on the whole Spitzer Episode.  I am quite ashamed for him as I really thought he would be different. . .

4300.00 for some poontang?  Wonder what the 5G poontang does?</description>

		<description>The Vatican and it's minions have already broken 2 of those sins in spades--pedophillia and obscene riches.

You would think that they would have taken a little more time and not subject themselves to being seen as the GLARING hypocrites that they are. Damn.

As one who was brought up Catholic, and hasn't practiced in years, I say good riddance!</description>
