Not at all. Were I a snob I'd hardly be talking to you.
My own origins are humble dear child, but some of us learn not go through life with a chip on our shoulder.

I suppose it's a pomme fritte on your shoulder. (And I expect my spelling is wrong. Spare me the patronising correction).



Bad manners? I hung round too many people from council estates.

Oh, speaking in stereotypes, are we? I rest my case!

If you can't speak French why do you try?
My you could be in the same beginners' class as fantasea.
Though your saving grace is that you actually display some intelligence in other threads. He doesn't.

And, without patronising darling, it's a pomme frite.

Darling, you degrade your profession by playing on the naughty nurse stereotype, and you try to be humourous by camping around this forum relying on every gay stereotype going, so don't give me that crap.
Stick to your bi-curious elk hunter. Leave the real men to me, while you go find some other Village People to play with.

I assume you're referring to Pacridge, about whom you appear to be developing a bit of an obsession?

Well, honey, go for it, because I'm 100% sure that he is not interested in me on account of being a heterosexual.

Which means you got a knock back?

Frankly honey, he ain't my type. There are some interesting guys on this forum, but liberal elk hunters aren't for me. I'll take your word for it he's a nice guy - you obviously got close enough to judge before he rejected you.

I don't believe in cyber-romance. I have a life.
 
Urethra Franklin said:
Cyber romance - no.
Cyber sex - different story.

Hmm, well cyber romance is, I guess, possible. I just choose not to do it.

Cyber sex? Isn't that just masturbation at your computer?

With help, yes.

Well, that makes you a wankypaedia reader then, doesn't it?

No, that's people who get off on their encyclopaedias.

Imagine,
Oh yes, the population of Bhutan is.......oh baby.

Likewise sweetness.
You're one of the smarter ones on here. Along with Fried Rice and Garza. Where's the link I wonder?

Your comment is particularly ironic: FANT-"As I have noted before, when one's posts become filled with sarcasm and personal 'digs', it is a sure sign that one is no longer able to defend one's position."

It is clearly you who have repeatedly used sarcasm and digs against any and all who disagree with your ideology. I believe I stated my position clearly... it is a total waste of time to respond to someone who is so profoundly endoctrinated that there is no room to consider the opinions of others. In addition, there is a considerable difference from being "unable" to defend ones position, or choosing to use ones time more productively on other endeavours. Afterall, being the "Contrarian", you might consider me a "Socialist, lib, democrat", when in reality... I am a fiscally conservative - Capitalistic Pig, Independent, who spends my days in the battlegrounds of corporate finance, profiting as aggressively as the great American system allows. And, I don't have the luxury of time to validate and counter your numerous claims of "fact". I value my time far too much to attempt to convince someone of your considerable, albeit rigid intellect, to open your mind to another perspective. You're absolutely set in your ways my friend, and no matter how much time or effort I put into confirming or rebutting your discourse, I believe it is an exercise in futility.
All that being said, it comes down to this. In a discussion of ideas, the one makes a choice to accept, reject, or ignore the contentions of the other.

The reasons for the choice are immaterial. Personal claims and comments are immaterial.

......and the tiniest minds can't stop quoting :rolleyes:
 
Fant, point taken, but as one who prioritizes time, you can clearly see that I have chosen to "ignore" some of your contentions as a waste of my precious time. Thank you for the quote, I shall add it to my collection. Frankly I am surprised to see you quoting a Socialist - Lib - Lesbian - wife of the adulterous anti-Christ of small government... perhaps it shows your mind is opening...just a wee crack!

Now Urethera, you have gone and offended me as well!

Don't you prefer quotes from brilliant people, who offer a modicum of knowledge to stimulate thought, to most of the other nonsense you hear / read? Is it not better to be influenced by the words of real people whose credentials and character you can verify as compared to mystical magical beings from the past whose "words" have been so bastardized they have to be "studied / deciphered" by theologians?.... I'll take the real geniuses every time...

Of course honey, but in moderation. My gripe is with people who quote ad nauseum because they are incapable of putting forward a coherent argument of their own. While fant falls into that category, you most certainly don't. You'll notice I did say can't stop quoting.

While Old Ellie might be accused of many things, she could never be accused of being stupid.

I see the proper use of one's mind as akin to one's panning for gold. During the swirling process, the sand, stones, mud and other worthless matter are discarded. Only the valuable nuggets are retained.

Well well well. Urethra "Miss International Socialist" Franklin is actually a snob with an unfounded superiority complex.



I think your reference to Spit the Dog confirms my suspicion that you are British. So in what exclusive area did you aquire your bad manners?

Didn't she/he(?) say they'd been to the states?

Why Fant... I think we've had a break through! The first time you have acknowledged that one ideologically juxtopposed to the far right as not being stupid! Bravo!

I love the analogy, it makes great sense. However, the real entrepreneur (see W, the French do have a word for it!) realizes that there is considerable value to the sand, stone etc... mixed with cement it built America. - Be well!

And why do you make that statement? The point of debate is to put forth ideas and logic to support your position, isn't it?

But he's a Republican! ;)
 
Prostitution is not a good thing. Freedom is one thing but we don't need young girls thinking it's okay for them to do that just because they need money. Pimps would get even more power if what they did became legal... ehh

Prostitution... you know sometimes these just seem like no brainers...

Gandhi - Your response is very short sighted. For one, if a person chooses to have sex with an individual after dinner and a movie... it's called a "date". Completely legal and no ones business. If that person has sex with someone and after receives a"gift" of a diamond bracelet... it's legal and simply a gift. They gift could be returned to the store for cash and no one would question the act.

Why is either scenario different than someone leaving money on the side table?

Further, if a person chooses to work in a hazardous job at risk to life and limb (coal miner, construction worker, firefighter)... it is legal regardless of the danger. Prostitution like any other "profession" involves risk and reward which should be ascertained by the person suffering the consequences. The only reason prostitution is illegal is because of the "moral" issues, where the government acts as an enforcement arm for the public.

"Pimps" and others who choose to control another person are present in all walks of life (see some of my posts on the church). However, your argument that if legalized, would make matters worse is completely incorrect. If legal, prostitutes could go to Police to protect them from abusers. Something they can't easily do now. In addition, both liquor (prohibition) and gambling once legalized and controlled not only regulated the activity but turned them into productive tax paying industries. Both of these were also regulated for moral reason and the negative impact they have on families etc. Unfortunately, there is a strong market for all these vices whether legal of illegal. Isn't it better to control them and gain tax revenue from them which can be used to regulate the activities?
