Bravo SC, bravo.

Totally different situations. If your boss asks you to play in a charity softball game, to benefit victims of a tragedy, are you going to ask to be paid? What if the same boss asks you to take a marketing trip halfway around the world? Different answer right?

You are kidding right? Wouldn't make the same argument? Considering what has happened the last week in NY, my wife and hI have had several conversations about it. She agrees with my position...legalize & regulate.

Good for Boston. There was a stipend that was to be paid to everyone who is going, MLB re-neged on the stipend for coaches, trainers, clubhouse personnel etc. For those who think it is about greed...how much you figure the tickets are going for in Japan? Split those profits now...

She lost that million, but Larry Flynt's offer of $1 mil is still good. If I was representing her, I would advise her to take it and fast.

Bruce in a 4-3, as a DE, would have been devastatingly unfair for opposing offenses.

Kansas over UCLA in the final. Sleepers are Drake (16), Marquette (8) and Wisconsin (8).

There is, however, a solution. Resolution Trust Company circa 2008. Thats about where I think this is headed. Resolution Trust Company

This is really an excellent article on the whole Bear mess, if anyone is interested... http://www.investorsinsight.com/otb.aspx

I'll answer your question....NONE are destroyed by prostitution. They may or may not be destroyed by the personal choices of the individuals.

Yep. Playing QB in high school on turf (at Rich Stadium, actually). Throwing a pass, the OL and DL crumple to a heap and roll into my firmly planted left leg (which was supporting all my weight at the time). Knee went, foot did not. Bye bye MCL and lateral menisci. Same thing as you with the temp change/humidity change.

dog You are admitting a mistake and trying to blame the availability of prostitutes for your mistake. No...its your mistake...repeat after me...personal responsibility...personal responsibility....personal responsibility.... Last nite was St. Pats and I went out for several Guinnii. I'm not blaming the bar for serving me because I feel like a$$ today. Personal responsibility.

Not different, just more severe. There have been numerous credit crunches in our history, 1998, LTCM and the Russian default come immediately to mind. This one just promises to be more widespread.

Please re-read my post. Thanks. Nowhere did I say that I did not, personally, like the idea of prostitution hitting home. Now, we can discuss. You said "most married women do not approve." Where are your poll results or academic research to back this up? I spoke with my wife about it when the entire Spitzer thing came out. She said she was lucky that she did not have to do that to get by, but understands there are many who do and certainly does not begrudge them at all. This "Kristen" was just trying to get ahead. My point is that no one would be "forced" into prostitution if it were legal, just as no one is "forced" into stripping now. Choices are made, you live with the consequences. How many lives, relationships, families are ruined you ask? How many are ruined now as many prostitutes are runaways, drug addicts and victims of violence. If prostitution were legal, my guess is far less than are currently ruined.

I had to jump into this one... There is no question that I believe it should be legal. In fact, in certain counties in Nevada, it already is legal. Let me try to deal with the arguments... 1- The government should not exercise dominion or control over a person's body. This goes for all examples...prostitution, organ sale/purchase, seatbelt laws, abortion, eating trans fats etc. Completely ridiculous that any one group can tell another what to do with their personal bodies. Ask yourself this question...if you were diagnosed with kidney failure, and had the means, would you not post an ad on craigslist offering to buy a compatible kidney for $25k? You bet your a$$ I would. Fact is, its illegal. You are just trying to survive...well so is the 22 year old who turns tricks. 2- Legalizing prostitution would remove much of the "street element" from it. You would provide a safe place in a regulated agency to perform the trick. A prostitute would not be beholden to pimps or other street level figures. Also, safe sex practices would be mandatory...if the john doesn't cooperate, no sex and onto the next client. The environment would be far safer and violence against women would plummet. 3- Allocation of resources. Let the vice cops spend their time where it is warranted, not busting prostitutes (trying to get to their pimps). Furthermore, the operation would raise revenue for the municipality where it is located through the normal payment of taxes. 4- I'm quite certain that most would not want their wives/daughters as "working girls," but for some it may be a viable way to earn an existence while working towards better thing. Most people would want the young hottie as a prostitute, not someone older. Hence the high turnover that might be expected. 5- Anyone who says most women are repulsed by it...please ask some women you know. Lay out different scenarios for them, their responses may suprise you. 6- Legalized prostitution is already practiced in many developed countires of the world and in certain US counties. The world as we know it has not ended. We are not exactly breaking new ground here. Studying those areas would help transition any problems that arise from legalization.

LOL!!

2005 Jeep Wrangler (TJ for the aficiandos). My dream car, literally. Best vehicle in the winter cause of the 4wd and a convertible in the summer. I love my Jeep.

Never heard about the sex part.

Outstanding news Campy...Congrats!!

Haley Barbour would get out the base, he has a national profile and did a decent job of cleaning up Mississippi after Katrina.

Spectacular! And notice the quick change.

PMs are gone as well.
