The duality of on the one hand so many wanting it and consuming it with a generally permissive attitude to the products and services while also thinking it's a premise for a contemptuous attitude to the women for doing it strikes me as hypocritical at a social level. I'm not a hypocrite. Apart from the usual teenage curiosity I have never had anything to do with that industry. I do agree with you that many are hypocritical. Many will quite happily leer at the young women involved but I think would take an entirely different attitude if it was their daughter. Perhaps I'm wrong and they'd boast to their friends but somehow I doubt it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Load of Squit 5,170 Posted February 17 It's official, Trump's been taking the p!ss for years. https://www.mediaite.com/tv/lawrence-odonnell-stunned-to-learn-trump-once-sold-urine-tests-as-part-of-business-empire/ Lawrence O’Donnell was taken aback after learning that Donald Trump once sold Trump-branded urine tests before he became president.

Again, society is fairly permissive on it, maybe less so for prostitution, so I don't see reason for stigmatising it. While I'm sure most wouldn't choose it for their kids, I'm sure most would want their kids safe if they did, and people making negative personal judgements because it's their profession inherently raises the risk of them being abused in general.

horsefly 4,301 Posted February 18 Fresh from the trial that bumped up Trump's running total of fines beyond half-a-billion dollars, the obese orange flump turned up at a sneaker convention to hawk his new air force one rip offs for $399.

So you think Nazi memorabilia is funny? Good for you, you are entitled to your opinion. How would the woke left view you laughing at that? Post it on Twitter/X see if they don't pile on. Like I've said before to your bullly buddies @Herman and @horsefly I'm not mad, I just really pity you. You just prove how self-unaware the 3 of you are.

It's shocking that any UK politician of any stripe would want Trump back in power. Trump wants a victory for Putin in Ukraine, which is completely against the UK national interest. It is tantamount to being a traitor. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dylanisabaddog 4,931 Posted February 26 Shame this article is behind a paywall but suffice to say Trump is now even less popular in Scotland. The gist of the article is that Trump inflated the value of his business assets in order to borrow money more cheaply. On this occasion he went a bit further and made them up! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately, your friends at the Beeb have declared it problematic. I don't expect you, nor do I require you, to respond because you can't argue your point old boy. Every time you ignore me you just further exacerbate how weak your argument is. Once again, thanks for your silence. Oh and P.S. John Cleese would be destroying your view point too because he encourages dialogue. Edited February 27 by Iwans Big Toe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
