Isn't it funny how people rise to their highest moral levels on these discussion boards? These are the same people who cut you off in traffic, find your wallet and keep your money, talk behind a co-worker's back for their own personal gain, take a vow to be faithful then cheat routinely, see a homeless person approach for money and ignore them....and yet suddenly here I am face to face, on a porn discussion board of all places, with St Francis of Azzizi.

So completely following through with what you said -- "It's what you do after you make the money that matters" -- are you actually telling us that if he now uses that money to take his elderly mom out for dinner on Mother's Day that THAT made peddling drugs to little kids okay? That because he did something nice for his mom after the drug sale, THAT justified his actions?

A truly retarded example. Nowhere do I advocate the abuse of children or violence against another human. So if you have to be technical about it, allow me to qualify my statement and say, "as long as your business does not involve the abuse of/or violence towards others." Jeez, spare us the bullshit.

No, thats not what I was saying. I can speak clearly and form sentences on my own, thank you. No, it is better that escorting is illegal. There's more money and less competition. And I'll put my fine ass up against any of the competition. I'm the number one rated girl in New Jersey and some say the East Coast.

And then no one is served since the cycle just keeps going on and on...

I don't need to show tolerance to this twit. I asked a question to the group and was personally attacked by this individual. I only need to defend myself, which I do quite well. I buried that con artist, he's shown the readers nothing of substance. He called me a plague. A plague. Re-read his words. Now how's that for mocking? Address that intolerance and stop being dorky and misdirecting your arguments. Target the target not the victim.
CreativeMind, so far the only creative thing I see from you is a complete misdirection of your criticisms.
