Participanthow much better does it get than squatting in your front yard while your teen watches from a wheelchair doing spins and laughing.

Participantmy kid did an imitation of me squatting that was utterly hilarious. we have a wheelchair just for recreational purposes out front. there we were, in the super bright bloom moon moonlight, him wheeling about, me turning beet red and sputtering out air and gasping. and after iw as thinking, these really are the days. these are the days.

ParticipantI read in a weightlifting philosophy book (NEVER LET GO, by dan john) that a good way to get yourself to do something specific and hard is to make an oath in front of others, like your family or internet chat groups, that you will eat a can of Alpo if you do not achieve the specific goal. the thought of eating the dog food may keep you on track. the positive aspects of squatting 250 (which I’m not actually really sure what they are, except my legs, back and ass will be stronger) are not really what keep people on track. it is fear of pain and humiliation. And so i pledged in front of my kids that i will dine upon Alpo next spring if I do not squat 250.
i think they’re pulling for the dog food.

ParticipantI must get there.
Or I will have to eat a can of Alpo in front of my children.
AND I DO NOT WANT TO EAT A CAN OF ALPO.
I will be squatting 250 by next spring.

ParticipantAmerica can become financially stronger if we stop giving gifts ( a lot fo economic value is lost when people give unwanted gifts). perhaps the same is true of sex. prostitution may make the whole nation run way more efficiently.
i tried to change my signature to “i will squat 250 lbs by May 4 2013 with my butt hitting a bucket on each one of 5 reps for 5 sets or I will eat a can of Alpo dog food with no garnish.” but i couldnt get it to work. I may occasionally post my progress toward this goal. I started last september 2011, worked hard all year but had big trouble breaking through 135 lbs squat, recently just hit 175 pounds after struggling all year for small gains every week, and am feeling very confident about the remainder of 2012. 250 lbs seemed unimaginable when I first touched the bar in September 2011. Dream on!

Participanton the other hand….
if youd asked me last week, I would have answered, of course prostitution should be illegal. i’m not sure I could articulate why, but it was a gut reaction tomy instinct that paying for sex coarsens society. That it is just too “gross” to permit. And that somehow, like the posters who immediately brought concerns for their daughters into it, prostitution somehow made society a less good place for me directly. Not sure how exactly. Maybe in a way similar to people who oppose gay marriage. it just cheapens the whole act.
and now I feel like I was an idiot. I cannot even remember why i felt this way. I’ve never actually been to a prostitute, and I think I might be too shy or sensitive to others’ feeling to actually ever go to a prostitute, or if I did go to a prostitute, i don’t think I could actually get anything going, other than maybe a vigorous discussion on sexworkers’ lifestyles and rights. But that’s beside the point.
I think there may be some connection between being opposed to gay marriage and opposition to prostitution.
It was obvious to mainstream America that homosexuals were deviant, not really able to cnosent, and that they recruited from straight people. Homosexuality was loosely tied to pedophilia in that sense — that they were looking for youth to prey on. Thus, gays were a danger to straight America. it resonates today, in the lingering opposition to gay marriage as somhow threatening the rest of us.
If women have the right to control their own bodies for purposes of abortions, which are not unliekly to have serious emotional effects, and they have the right to have sex with any other consenting adult, it seems arguably reaosnable that women and men should have the right to also have sex with others for money.
I do however still feel that gambling should be illegal. It offends my sensibilities.

Participantit probably makes good economic sense to unbundle sex from relationships. on a per-sex encounter, prostitutes are probably way cheaper than what the average guy spends ona girfriend or wife, especially later on in the relationship when the sex trails off.
childrearing could be done contractually, a partnership to conceive and raise. partners expectations would be clearer since set out in writing.

Participantthe decriminalization of drugs or prostitution does not directly necessarily affect anyone’s daughter.
however, if your daughter is pretty, maybe she can rent herself out, have a baby and clear 46k a month. and not even be technically guilty of prostitution!

Participanthey, prostitutes are campaigning in nevada for ron paul!

Participantgood man!
i was checking on the average wage of prostitutes. apparently the average is 48,000/year, with the top end making about $1,000 an hour.
wage range is strikingly similar to lawyers.
interesting article in THE NEW REPUBLIC on the economics of high end prostitutes.
promiscuous swimgers have more stds than prostitutes.
