* Violet would totally use prostitutes if she was 'rich' rich.

Nothing wrong with paying solid money for a premium service by a professional FSM Wink
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Cato says Nice try. You use prostitutes because you are incapable of getting action otherwise; despite the significant advantage of being 'rich'.


Er...no.. Its like saying I have a cleaner because I am incapable of cleaning my own house, I eat in restaurants because I am incapable of cooking

I like to have sex like others like restaurants. I like variety. I like the services of skilled workers and I like beauty. Most people can't cook some of the stuff that I like'.Most of all I like to pay the Check and leave leaving someone else to bus my table and wash up.

I also go to Restaurants

I also have a Housemaid

I also feel sorry for you that you need to insult people who have done nothing to you.

What is so odd about being rich that you need to put it in reported speech?


Violet - No I don't live near Texas. I am about as far from Texas as it is possible to be.

You like Oblivion too.

What a pity we could play Skyrim together.

Super Kudos to you Wink Shades

I like how some Western Europeans countries handle issues of prostitution....unlike America where the police go after the prostitutes, they instead go after the scumbags looking to have sex with prostitutes.
No, pimps victimize women, especially pimps who abduct women and force them to work as prostitutes. Women who choose to work as prostitutes aren't victims; they are making a choice.

If he had the 'significant advantage of being rich' then surely the people who sleep with him for this advantage are only sleeping with him for money?

They are in effect, prostitutes.

Your point seems mute.

Because then the politicians and pastors would all have to pay tax.
