I don't like the term "c*******e w***e", it demeans actual w***es

[Fumesucker]

W***es are powerless people who are usually forced one way or another to do something most of us would find horribly degrading simply in order to survive.

Those politicians who sell out their constituents to corporations for a few favors or dollars on the other hand are powerful people acting traitorously for their own aggrandizement, something not even in the same moral universe as what the average w***e does and not in a good way.

Stop demeaning w***res by comparing them to corrupt politicians.

1. what bullshit.

[JackInGreen]

3. No Beano

that was Hillary tonight, but you knew that

[Fumesucker]

4. What part do you disagree with?

Please be specific.

[senz]

22. It's absolutely true.

Too bad you can't face it.

[JackInGreen]

2. I've known a few paid....artists, worked with a couple

Unlike CWs you can appreciate PALPABLY successful services rendered, with the C****** Wh*** YOU'RE the one getting fucked.

[JimDandy]

7. But for lobbyists-the corporate johns-that is the desired service. n/t

[Fumesucker]

9. But the "service" was already paid for by the constituents

So you go to the club, pay big bucks for the long teasing lap dance and lots of bottles of "champagne" but then they disappear in the back room with someone else for five bucks and tell you to get lost?

You know who got screwed on that deal.

5. The term whore simply means someone who sells themself for money

or some other benefit. Motivation or status (rich, poor, powerful, powerless) are not part of its definition.

[Fumesucker]

6. Unless you were born wealthy then you need to look in the mirror

I don't necessarily disagree with that either.

[JimDandy]

8. I just need my dictionary, not a mirror. n/t

[Fumesucker]

10. Even if you work for yourself you're always selling yourself

Maybe even especially if you work for yourself.

[TM99]

11. But I am not compromising my ethics

nor my integrity.

And that is what distinguishes them from sex workers.

There is a very good reason why Media Whores Online was popular in the early 2000's. Oh, lest we forget that just because a Democrat is in office and we are in a Democratic Primary that yes indeed there are still male and female corporate whores on both sides of the aisle who will compromise their ethics (if they even have any!) and their integrity (if they have any!) all for power, money, and influence.

[Fumesucker]

12. This was the definition I was responding to..

The term whore simply means someone who sells themself for money or some other benefit.

Mentioned nothing about ethics or integrity.

[delrem]

15. A lot of people can't understand the concept of 'metaphor'.

So they have trouble.

Professional attack dogs like David Brock are paid to play off of that lack of understanding and to play into their target's emotional responses. It's what guys like Brock studied and learned how to do, to become one of the highest paid operatives.

A lot more people do understand the concept of 'metaphor' but enjoy pretending that they don't, so go along with professional spinners like Brock both knowingly and willingly. For them it's just a kick.

Hard to tell the difference, sometimes.

[TM99]

23. And if you got an education

then you would recognize the differences between denotations and connotations.

When the term is used as it is being done so here for more than a decade the inclusion of ethics and integrity is what distinguishes it from a simple sale for money or other benefits.

Come on, let's have a real adult discussion instead of an emotionally fueled secondary school rant.

[Fumesucker]

24. You lead with a direct personal attack and want an adult discussion?

[TM99]

25. So it is now a direct personal attack

to point out that if one got an education, they would understand the difference between denotations and connotations?

Well then, obviously you simply have an agenda instead of a real point.

[Zira]

13. Well corporate horse does work. I.e. I'm betting on the corporate horse in this race

to get beat by a bird.

[B Calm]

14. Looks like you were alerted on and

the vote was 7 to 0 to leave it.

[Fumesucker]

16. I think someone may be feeling the Bern...

Thanks...

[B Calm]

17. No problem.

[reddread]

18. thank you

[Bohemianwriter]

19. How about pimps?

They take corporate money to let them screw you over on a daily basis and making people vote to get screwed...

[Buns_of_Fire]

20. The problem is simply this:

There *** ****** ****** ****** **** *** *** the ****** ** ******* ******* ************. ****, and *** **** **** **** ******* a ********** *** ***** ** ********** ** **** *** sexism **** **** **** ********** but *** ********, if ******* *********** *** ******** ** *** *** *** *****-***** ******* *** **** ******* **** ******** *** *** country.

I apologize for being so blunt, but there it is.

[senz]

21. It's easy to feel sympathy and concern for sex workers

and impossible to feel it for corporate whores. Because the latter sell our government out from under us. They betray us.

We should keep them out of the presidency.

[daleanime]

26. I agree.....

[SusanCalvin]

27. What a very, very good point.

[AgerolanAmerican]

28. I propose "corporate horror"

pretty much means the same thing and if you slip accidentally it's easy to correct in stride
