(Counting the President and his lackey, the VP).
Your count is correct for elected officials. But we should probably also count all the Czars and their retinues.
I don't know how many Tsars we have now.
I don’t think it’s going Saudi Arabia as much as it’s going South Georgia and Albania, by the looks of things.
Go to your local parish on a Sunday.
And I am not just talking about the adults.
Very true.
‘Depends on what is being discussed’...sounds relative.
We all have that right. You talked of a need for a system of morality. That would require standards to be set, so I responded accordingly.
i think the majority of the decent looking women in Dominican Republic and maybe Brasil too have had sex for money
This is not a new problem; it’s as old as mankind.
Indeed, and seemingly the only thing that was able to change man and the direction he was taking, was war, pestilence, famine, disease, disaster of Godlike proportions, and other such events. Attempts at legislating morality are just that, attempts. A moral society, is always attacked by the immoralists carrying out the bidding of that being who tempted our first parents. The war of right vs wrong, the real war, based on truth vs deception, freedom and liberty vs the chains of captivity, making the right decision when faced with life’s daily choices.
How do we get there, and avoid the war pestilence, famine disease, and disaster. You start with Christianity, a Constitution, a Republic, and as Mr Jefferson stated, “if you can keep it”.
Further:,
“Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God?”
Thomas Jefferson
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
John Adams
Lastely, a quote from a speech by Calvin Coolidge on the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence:
“It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern. But that reasoning can not be applied to this great charter. If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary. Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary fathers”.
I vant to buy yoor vomen. How much for ze leetle guhl?
The Japanese won’t know the meeting is over until you drop the big one. Twice.
Is that like a temporary marriage?
Women have always “sold” sex, usually not as direct. At least these gals are smart enough to get the money up front.
It was 13-14 in much of the United States until the 1940s-1950s. This concept of treating teenagers as "children" is relative recent.
13 is still way too young. 16 seems fair.
