Yes, sapiens had a nice post. Why don't you emulate him, especially when you take this issue to the PTA? People tend to react in not so nice ways when someone implies that they somehow are ok with child prostitution.

Are there other things to take into account other than dollars in any case? Of course, total risk vs benefit. It doesn't matter if they said it just referring to McDonald's. It can be extended to somethings measure of appropriateness. Is there more to take into account than dollars. If so, that would apply to the McDonald's situation, as well. I most certainly did not imply that anybody would be okay with child prostitution. In fact, if you look at the picture or read the thread you'll surely realize that it was pointed out as the most 'extremely inappropriate' side of the spectrum as something we can all agree on in order to set up dichotomy. Implying I have said that people are okay with child prostitution is a failure of reading comprehension and logic. It is foolish, and as far as I'm concerned, it has no place on TFP. I'm kindly asking you to leave this thread if your only intent is to throw around punches.

I keep getting asked the same questions over and over again, even though I'm fielding them. Just 2 posts ago:

I don't know what more you want from me, aside from some argument, sadness, or anger. Good luck with that.
