No Human ATM

I recently ended a relationship that only began last week.  She approached me and complimented me on my height and asked for my phone number.  We began texting the next day.  Two days later we got together.  I needed a ride and she told me she needed to go to the pharmacy.  In my head I calculated the expense of a taxi vs the cost of paying for her medicine.  I greatly underestimated the cost of prescription drugs.

Turns out I paid about 100 dollars which thankfully I was able to afford.  After we drove around town and before she dropped me off, I filled her car up with gas.  This set a bad precident.  She saw me as nothing more than some with raging hormones and a big fat wallet.

Legalize Prostitution

It came as a surprise to me that I did not have my views on prostitution in one concise blog post.  I was having a discussion with someone yesterday and I had to refer to 3 different blog posts to reference my views.  So today I will put my views on prostitution in one blog post and let others decide for themselves if they agree or disagree.

Prostitution is a victimless crime.

By itself prostitution is one person performing sexual acts on another for money.  The consumer is not always a loser.  He or she could have a fetish that only a professional can satisfy.  Others see purchasing sex to be a cheaper alternative than the hustle of the dating scene where dates can run into a few hundred dollars.  In addition when it comes to licensed sex workers who submit to health screenings, hiring a prostitute is safer than picking up strange booty at the night club.

Free Community College?

So President Obama's latest push is to offer Free Community College.  For those outside of the United States community college is primarily serves two purposes.  The first is to adequately train specialized skills for those entering the work force.  Such programs can include nursing, or other medical fields, mechanics, and a few even offer truck driving schools.  Some of these programs, can have waiting lists of up to a year or more.  The reason is community college is so much cheaper than training at a private vocational school.  The second purpose of the community college is to get an associates degree or other courses required by a four year school at a greatly reduced cost.
