I don't give a shit either but at least I don't call a whole segment of society "scum" based on a stereotype.
My perspective is not based on any stereotype, but rather on my personal experiences with prostitution. Some people think that people turn to prostitution out of desperation, dysfunctional backgrounds, etc. While this is certainly true for some whores, it is not the case for many others. And even those that come out of an "at-risk" population have other choices available to them.
I went to college with a guy who decided to become an "escort" because it offered him 2 things: better access to drugs, and easy, willing sex partners. He was from what most people would call a stable family in a desirable ZIP code in the Princeton area.
I also knew a young woman who grew up in a trailer park in Nebraska where her parents were never formally divorced, but lived apart due to her mother's alcoholism. Because her father worked so many hours, she basically raised her 3 younger siblings. There was nobody in her family to help her pay for college, so she turned to prostitution in order to get an education. She stole from me. She tried to block me from getting cast in a show (which didn't work). And she ended up knocking on my door in the wee hours one morning begging for money to pay her pimp because she had used her trick money for drugs. Like a fool, I took pity on her and gave her the cash she needed because I didn't want her to get beat up by her pimp.
These are just 2 of many examples of how life has taught me how bad prostitution can be. "Scum" might be an offensive word to some people here at Bettermost, but it is the word that most accurately mirrors and expresses what I have experienced relative to this business practice.
