You must have no life if you have to pay for it. You are a loser. Pathetic. Sad.

See, inflation really is in check. The rise in grocery prices is offset by the drop in hooker prices.
To: Duke C.
Basic economics: As the supply goes up, the price goes down.

Precisely. Hiring lobbyists is one thing, but I'd never fund a PAC. And as far as an actual campaign contribution? It's not worth getting in trouble.

If they’d polled some of the women in the industrial
areas they’d have found it down around $12 or so I hear...

Not to get controversial, but not every guy looks like Tom Cruise. If I got ‘no takers’ via the traditional route, I think I would consider going to a pro. I never have, and I can’t complain about my circumstances, but what is a lonely guy with little luck in the love department supposed to do?

Always remember, you’re not paying for sex,
you are paying for them to leave shortly after...

Makes sense. A bad economy and breakdown in moral ethics equals more prostitution. Also, it is a cash business.
Black markets flourish in heavily government controlled economies.

Always remember, youre not paying for sex, you are paying for them to leave shortly after... Or as Charlie Sheen once said about hookers...
You're not paying them to stay, your paying for them to leave.

Are you trying to insinuate that I would use a prostitute?

No. Just asking how you came across the info. What you do in your private life is no ones business.

I’ve heard celebrities often pay them to also shut up about it.

"You must have no life if you have to pay for it. You are a loser. Pathetic. Sad." You've obviously never been to a 'massage' parlor or accupressure salon. LOL
