Does that mean if I want to go out and rob peopl, I should specifically target people who I suspect do drugs simply because they deserve it?No it's not by "my logic" it's how the law works and how it is supposed to work. Courts aren't supposed to waste their time helping people who are doing the wrong thing. Like if you break into somebody's home and get mauled by their dog, you erased your right to sue the owner by doing something illegal/wrong.

I don't really want to go back fourteen pages... is this a derail, or an ignorant comparison?Prostitutes are a minority who are discriminated against and have recently been campaigning for more rights and equality. For instance, they don't think that being a prostitute should have a bearing over whether they get custody of their child or the child's father, and argue that at present the courts discriminate against them.

Quote:You really are something special aren't you pal.Thanks for the compliment pal!
Quote:I knew a prostitute years ago( as a friend I might add) and she was just someone getting through her life like the rest of us. So your ridiculous generalisation is just that.Would you swear under oath that you know she wasn't using illegal drugs?
My "ridiculous generalisation" comes from what I've been told first-hand from multiple brothel owners. Oh and a couple of drivers who explained their routines of dropping off girls to meet with their dealers on the way to/from clients. I think I have a pretty good grasp of the issue. But don't worry, it's never a bad time to bury your head in the sand Zen, in fact the more you practise it the better you'll get at it buddy!
Quote:And when those drugs are made legal what pathetic excuse will you come up then with to pillory these women?Again, what they're doing (drugs) is a criminal act. I don't think you take it seriously Zen.
Quote:BTW I can't imagine why you found it so repulsive going into a brothel, unlike a church at least when you get molested it's because you paid for the privilege.Oh much for the same reason that I hate lots of things I disagree with I suppose.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
