(Alan Russell) women (and men) get into prostitution. It is very rarely a rational choice and almost always involves being abused as a child, drug addiction and violence. Regardless of the current glamorization of the sex trade, probably 90% of prostitutes are suicidal, addicted to a substance and controlled by a violent man. Implying that they are "happy hookers" is nonsense and ignorant.

Rush is popular because he makes sense. 20 million daily listeners, on 600 -- Robb, Great Dane 28, Yankee Dolphin, Lake Superior -- 7/7/08 4:25p.m.

You sound like someone who is still feeling guit about their abortion -- JAY (spindrift 22) Hattiesburg, MS -- 7/1/08 6:32p.m.

I'm pro-life Jay, but that kind of arrogant condescension towards someone you -- Robb, Great Dane 28, Yankee Dolphin, Lake Superior -- 7/1/08 6:51p.m.
