This is a no brainer. Bill Belichick makes everyone around him a better cheater. Not the other way around.

Michael Jordan is not the greatest basketball player of all time.

In fact, he isn't even in the Top 2!

If you're still shooting off fireworks this far into July, you might be a mouth breathing moron.

Actually, I'm of the opinion that if you're doing it on the 5th of July, you're just an immature, inconsiderate (bleep). There's no reason to do so other than your personal jollies and it stresses out animals and a whole bunch of people.

I just worry about people hurting themselves and others. Kids blowing up or burning their hands. Fires being started. And that goes whether it's 4th of July or not.

I saw a controversial comment online a couple days ago. I think I agree.

Prostitution should be legalized and regulated.

Doing so would probably prevent alot of future abuse related to sex.

But then you wouldn't get prurient headlines about Robert Kraft getting handy-jays from sex trafficked naifs according to unnamed vice squad dullards to lazy local journalists.

Anyway, let's start with decriminalization before legalization and see what happens. Imagine cops having to actually respect and protect sex workers from pimps and johns rather than busting them.

As is the case so often, there's a George Carlin quote for everything, and he is absolutely correct on this. "Selling is legal. F ( a t ) *king is legal. Why isn't selling f AT *king legal?!?!" Also, you can't pay someone for sex, but you can pay someone for sex as long as someone is filming it.

In other words, it's ridiculous and illogical that it's not legal.

Legalized prostitution has been shown to be safer for everyone involved and even those who aren't.

Tijuana (Red Light District): not legal (but it is tolerated)

30 minutes: $60

60 minutes: $100

If you don't act like an a$$h@le or draw too much attention to yourself, the police leave you alone to go about your mongering business.

However, Tijuana is a dangerous place (even for fluent Spanish-speaking tourists).

Decriminalization shouldn't equate to lowering prices.

Yep. I was acquainted with some people who exploited that aspect. The ran what was essentially a prostitution ring under the guise of a porn "production company". Clients would go to them and pay for the opportunity to be "producers" of porn films that they performed in with the "stars".
