Yes, it is ridiculous to defend yourself in a court of law... Next time you need surgery, get out the butter knife and do it yourself...
You know, it has been well established that words and sentences only mean something within some context, and without that context generating a discourse will only lead to confusion. To simply quote a fraction of what I said only generates inaccuracies. To not read the context of what I was responding to and act only on the words is impulsive. Hold your horses man! In regards to the comment you make, I have no problem with other people doing drugs as long as its harms to others is minimal. I have said something to this effect already in this thread.
I should have been more accurate. I meant marry to the effect that they seek. They marry men so they can emigrate and escape misery. If I could, I would marry them without any commitment or sacrifice on their part. Only for the outcome of increasing someone's happiness without the shame. All I would ask is that I be set free with no commitment afterward, if only to be able to help the next person. So no, only those that are so desperate by the enslavement of their own government, and only to provide an exit from the bad luck of their situation simply by where they were born.
every woman you would bring over to the US on this pretense would be against the law, are you aware of this?
I would have no problem with a woman that genuinely chooses prostitution as her career choice. You misunderstand my objection. I do not mean to judge, only to help. So if someone does not think they are in this need, I am content in stepping aside. I would wager that if a woman was visited by two men, one would offer to marry her and expect her to be his wife, the other would offer to marry her, bring her to America, help her get a job and a place to live, and then would expect to be released from the marriage with no responsibility on my part, well we can theorize which choice she would make, but the point is that if she made the real wife choice, at least those of us who watch this can say, she made the choice from her heart. Not at all. See above. In fact, I want to remove the sex from the equation of barter. If I were truly sexist, I would want to persist it. Huh? I have no idea what you are talking about. How you reached this conclusion, from what I posted, does not follow. See above. I do not wish to remove choice, only expand it. If theoretically Paris Hilton would want to become a prostitute or exchange sexual favors for money, I would be content in knowing that was a choice made from desire, not need. I would therefore have zero desire to enlist my help in that circumstance (although I would think she had gone off the deep end.) Again, I think you are assuming something that is not there. Perhaps the above comments will clarify my position.
Over the counter drugs have been cleared by doctors and the FDA, and warn people to follow directions (not self directed).
Drug addicts and alcoholics also discuss pain relief... The pain of daily living that they can't cope with, so they self medicate...often illegally. Some really whacked out drug addicts even think they know more than doctors about how to treat their symptoms...
