that is pretty much a no brainer. Of course they were degrading to her; she was degrading herself, so what to expect? I'm not trying to be down on people who do this for a living. I know there is great money to be made, but at the cost of self respect (usually, not always) and no respect from the clientele (almost always, whether or not the stripper is aware of this). Some people thrive on the attention (my cousin-in-law, for example, who brags about every male in the neighborhood wanting to 'do' her, etc. -- used to be a stripper and loved every minute of it; wishes she could still do it) Personally, I have had many a time where I was made to feel dirty by men, and I was not stripping for them or anything else. Leering just makes me uneasy, to say the least. Also, of the few strippers personally known to me, I always hear the same thing -- had to be drunk to do the job (again, not always the case, but it is what I have been told by several of them). Now, I have always said, if the men are s t u p i d enough, have at it and glad for those who make the money off of that, but I could never go there.

No pun intended?? lol. nm

Amen! (No pun intended.) sm
There are bad people who believe in god and there are good people that believe in god. There are also good people who don't believe in god and bad people who don't believe in god. Belief or nonbelief is not the dividing factor in determining whether a person is good or not. How people conduct themselves with their own free will is the determining factor.
I never intended to start and argument...
just trying to put some other perspective out there. Do whatever you want, but since you asked for opinions, I gave mine. If you disagree, fine by me, that's okay. I just try to keep in mind that parents are not perfect. Mine are not and I am not. I hope that my son can forgive me my mistakes someday.
mother nature never intended for YOU to
It was something that just happened to you. You choosing feels unnatural because it is, and it won't ever feel natural. BUT no one cares if you have a baby or not if you really want to keep your freedom. Babies are a lot of work.
I'm sorry and I mean no offense...
but I just don't get what the fascination is with this whole story. Why does anyone other than the family care where this woman is buried or who is or isn't at the church? The AP boycotted reporting anything to do with Paris Hilton for a week. I think Anna Nicole Smith should be next.
No offense taken
If you meant me, no problem, and no offense taken. I understand your point. I went to parochial school and all the kids in my class including the Headmaster's kid including the other pastor's kids were the ones who smoked in the bathroom, picked on people, etc. I think they were rebelling against their parents to test boundaries. I just wanted to let you see another side of the story. When I was a member and not a Pastor's wife, I was fascinated about the lifestyle or what they were like when they were at home (pastor and family). It was just a curiosity. I never realized that I stared, and watched, but I did. People do this to us now, and I have to realize it is just plain curiosity. No we don't walk around with our hands held in prayer every minute, and no we don't sing hymns every minute of the day or quote scripture. Actually we love to eat pizza and watch Law and Order when the children are with their grandma. And when the children are home they watch cartoon network and play outside like anyone else. Not offended at all in the least. Just wondering as a normal parent how in the world to raise perfect kids and I think I have no clue about that. I am just doing the best I can to raise them with a conscience. :)
No offense or anything, but the fascinating
thing about TV is that there is an off button. :)
Personally, I don't care for half of what the news reports, or at least attempts to report. There are much better sources for real information out there and not this show they put on.
I am one who has had an interest in watching what has been said through this whole ordeal, so I watch it.
No offense, but this is a no-brainer
GET OUT NOW, ASAP, for your sake and your kids. Don't think about why because you already have the answers. Just do it. It's wrong, it's over, period. May the light stay with you.
no offense to anying - I said *males*....sm
because we had an awful experience for a couple of years with a female orthodontist.......so no offense meant to anyone 
oh lawdy and now a typo - no offense to ANYONE...
geesh, where's my fingers today ? *LOL*
No offense but if that's what thin people have to eat...
I'd rather be fat. LOL
No offense, but she needs a more explicit book. With pictures, for SM
her and her husband to try, eh, different things. We are not talking specifically romance here, but nitty. gritty, spark flying stuff.
I disagree with this poster. No offense, but this industry is STILL looking for good MTs to sm
pump out the workload as so many are either: A. Getting out of the business (by the hundreds). B. Retiring. C. Moving into editing, etc.
I've been doing this from home for about 10 years now.
Don't discourage someone from getting into this field. She wants to be with her family and make an income. MTing can help her do that!
And if down the road this profession is null and void, then she has something to fall back on. At least she HAS something to fall back on, unlike a lot of us here.
To the original poster, I wouldn't leave my kiddies for anything in the world. There is no care like your care. Do whatever you can to find work at home. Email me if you are looking for a work-from-home opportunity.
For most part, women dont go ballistic 1st offense.
