ORIGINAL: sunshinemiss That was really uncalled for. I think most folks know that this is not really an atypical point of view in the world. It's not popular on here, but I don't think it's terribly far from what people would consider the norm in many societies. Frankly, while I don't think prostitution needs to be outlawed, certainly the way it is handled in all but a very few cases is dehumanizing and devaluing. I don't think it HAS to be (which is why I have no problem with it as a concept and if handled well). The paying people to be your friend part is a bit over the top, but a number of people have attacked him (like yourself) rather than arguing the point. Let's face it, there are PLENTY of people who pay others to be their friend - heck take a look at my post on the first page and it pretty much says that very thing. Lots of people pay in other ways besides cash, too although that may be a bigger argument than the one here and may be going a bit too far astray. [;)] best, sunshine I can't say that I think it was. Jana didn't say specifically that she meant Patrick would have to pay a person to befriend him. She just happened to quote him to keep her joke in context amidst the great olive debate. (For the record, I'm pro olive but don't care for pimentos. [8D]) Even though I'm pretty sure Jana was just kidding around, I don't happen to think she's wrong, either. You honestly can't tell Me that there aren't people out there who aren't appealing to others to the point where they have to pay for company. We've got a few of them on the boards who constantly go on about how nobody wants to be their friend or be around them. (Pretty easy to figure out why when you read their posts, but that's another issue.) A couple of them have gone on for literally years that they have nobody to talk to (which I firmly believe they have brought on themselves) and come here running for attention as a result of it. You can tell Me that is mean all you like, but it also happens to be true.
