If you want to claim now that they are fine, but I think it just demonstrates again that your dogmatic views are impervious to reality.

not because they want to abuse anyone. It is NOT TRUE by the way that nobody says it is only about women. They DO say that the WHOLE point is that men are doing something specifically to women BECAUSE THEY ARE WOMEN. That is why men buying men and women buying men is relevant. It demonstrates that that cannot be the case. You can say it's all bad if you like, but even if it were true that all prostitution is only about a desire to abuse and exploit how likely is it that women who were doing it to abuse men would be doing it for EXACTLY the same reasons that men abuse women. You can make all the noise you want but the fact remains: if buying sex were only about men oppressing women then only men would be buying only women. The logic remains basic.

that is totally weird and stupid.

a labor shortage maybe.

that I went back and looked at the "older men younger women" post and an ad for sugardaddy.com came up. Yeah i know it didn't "just happen".

there would be ZERO kids in existence with two parents who didn't want them (unless one of the parents had died).

i don't know in this particular case, but I do know that Americans often assume that people in developing countries know far less about the developed worlds culture than they actually do, especially people in countries like China that are actually fairly developed, and it is true that a lot of the cultural conflicts that we think of as being between modernity and backwardness are taking place more intensely and matter more to the people involved when they occur WITHIN societies than when they occur between them.

What possible purpose could be served by forcing people to choose between staying together when they don't want to be together or "proving" that one or the other partner has committed a "crime" for which they should be "punished" in some way.

so the only real question is how many of the so called supporters of the candidate who happens to be black are going to help the supporters of the candidate who happens to be white do probably the only thing that can turn the race into one that the candidate who happens to be white is GUARANTEED to win.

since anything he will have to face from the democrats is nothing compared to what the republicans will do so there are only two possibilities:

1) attacks from democrats won't matter at all because if obama can handle the republicans nothing the democrats do will have an effect.

2) democratic attacks will do obama real damage, but if this is true that fact will be totally meaningless becasue if these mild questions are capable of damaging him it means he never stood a change against the republican anyway.

For the record I think Obama is going to get the nomination and I think he can handle what he has to handle.

We aren't talking about respect we are talking about killing and eating something so the distinction is and should be between what can experience pain and distress and what cannot. I think there IS something disturbing about making an animal feel like you are it's family and then killing and eating it (yes I know animals do that to their own "families") and this seems particularly bad in the case of dogs which are highly social animals, but it should be kept in mind that this manipulation is happening to a degree in ALL cases of domestication. If it weren't the animal would not be domesticated.

dogs clearly are full of conscious joy when they interact with people they like. Cats too in many cases. They presumably don't have the self awareness we do but they clearly are conscious and joyful.

there are in fact objective differences between different animals which do have moral implications. It is true that (setting aside, which I'm not at all sure we should, the social aspect) there isn't much intellectual difference between a pig and a dog but the difference between eating a chimpanzee and eating an oyster is more than a matter of cultural taste. Talk about moral relativism run amok.

but obviously never in relation to murder, war, infanticide, etc. ad infinitum. Obviously it isn't only people who think too much of animals whose judgment is clouded by emotion.

others have some basis, or at least are connected in some way, to objective relevant facts about the animals involved such as their ability to experience certain emotions and sensations.

but if his supporters and especially his opponents can convince enough people that he did, or that that is what he "really thinks" or even what his supporters "really think" there isn't going to be much of a "national conversation", or an obama presidency for that matter.

I'm glad to see a woman admit that, unlike penises, they don't fall from the sky.

looks aren't everything you know.

Pussy STAYS nice, that's one of it's magical qualities.

though clearly you aren't alone

i mean
