That was an insult directed at you, you had in comming. Originally Posted by acp5762Well, look at that! Progress!
You know, admitting you have a problem is the first step. Congratulations.
If you're paying taxes on it, it's a real job. That's my stance.Hey I agree. Best advice I've heard yet. Way to many threads become one sided anyway. So to say prostitition wasn't a legitimate job, insulted a lot of you. Why insulted. If its legit why keep it under wraps, why screen for LE. Geesh I never bashed none of your integrity or your legitimacy as a person. Other than Miss " Ginger Doll" who called me an asshole.
Now let's all kiss and makeup, This one has gotten pretty ugly.

It's really kind of funny how Iam being scorned for being insulting by making one statement and everyone else is directing insults back at me.
Admit it, your post several pages back DID insult a whole lot of people:
--you said to every lady on here "It's not really a legitimate job". Kind of hard to take that as anything but an insult. Sorry, but two years on a practice squad is no more a "legitimate job"--both are in the entertainment business, and as someone who finds far less enjoyment in watching the NFL than I do spending time with some interesting ladies I would say YOUR "job" was less legitimate and produced much less value to the good of the universe.
--you originally said "Our jobs define us", now after being called on it you say what you MEANT to say was it is one aspect of us. A significant improvemnet, but no appology that you misspoke the first time.
--Then you sign off with, "You say you have morals, ok so you do. But you're still a prostitute", and I for one read that with a lot of scorn and a definate degrading attitude. Again, when called on that you start backpeddling "I didn't mean anything bad by it!". Unfortunately your recent post "Now god dammit you're dumb enough, so I made this shit simple enough" makes it obvious that you DID intend the scorn and degrading insinuations.
If you had admitted your first post was poorly worded and restated it you would have avoided yourself a few spears, but it looks like your ego got in the way of that.

Your position was that it is not a legitimate job because it is illegal. Shayla took that out of the equation and you still felt it was illegitimate so the legality is not the issue. The only conclusion left is that you feel the ladies are doing something inappropriate. Interestingly they are conflicted on that issue as well in some cases.

Interestingly they are conflicted on that issue as well in some cases.I am going to let you look at this anyway you'd like. Sometimes we step on other peoples toes in the wake of proveing a point. Not everyone will agree, thats whats happened here. If my point of view isn't good enough for anyone, well then it's not. In your mind if prostitution is a legitimate buisness that contributes to the well being of society then you can live in that notion. If you feel that all your encounters with prostitutes have been an essential factor to your personal happiness then patronizing prostitutes has become or is becomming a necessary part of your life. But you must consider this last point. No legitimate buisness would intentionally expose any client or patron to any danger or adversitiy.
Naomi's answer about paying taxes is good. If you are paid to do something it is a job.
As far as whether the job contributes to society as a whole is irrelevant. A professional golfer makes millions at his or her job and they do not enhance society as a whole. An escort makes people happy. You may or may not consider that a benefit to society but it is no less legitimate than any number of other legitimate jobs. Originally Posted by Laz

But does the clerk expose a patron or customer intentionally to danger. I would think not.

But your whole argument is specious and convoluted on some many levels that it's not worth rebutting. Originally Posted by WheretonowNo, my arguement is not convoluted on any level. It just so happens everything here is one sided. You know what your situation was in the military you know what you were there for. You are an employee of the United States Armed Forces. Even if you were a guest of a host country you were briefed on possible problems and the host country didn't intentionally place you in harms way. Everyone here absolutely must be right and they come up with off the wall possibilities of rebuttal like you just did. But apparently you some clarification to what would be danger. A client arriving at a prostitutes incall is not in any way prevy or aware of any adversities before hand he's only equiped with a donation. As he is entering the room and lays down the donation a hidden subject( Possibly a Pimp) appears from behind a door and throws him out keeping the donation. The provider is there knowing all this would be taking place. She knowingly, willingly placed the client in harms way through deception, resulting in the client being robbed.
