If it's prostitution, then everyone on this list is a prostitute. Name-calling is unnecessary.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>Hey, if no name-calling, why are you calling everyone a prostitute!! :)<br><br>Speaking of ... I assume if you offered a prostitute $5 for a service that typically costs $100, she would understandably be insulted and tell you to go do it to yourself rather than to her. <br>
<br>(And I think anyone will get far lecturing her on how that's a lot of money to vietnamese prostitutes or those just getting into the business)<br><br>I have to defend Kelly, as she was well within bounds of understandable behavior to be offended by an offer of $1000 for what reasonable would be at least $10,000 worth of work. <br>
<br>I think Kelly just put into words to what a lot of us felt. <br><br>And the person who posted the job deserved to hear what a lot of people honestly felt about his/her offer. <br><br>I think if someone insults you, it's far better to speak honestly about how insulted you are and why than it is to pretend you are not insulted -- even if your forwardness makes some people uncomfortable. (I suppose not a lot of people are at east with that "Gotham" style of directness.)<br>
