:thumbsup:


Agreed. Most Christians are in fact pretty much worthless, so it's nice to hear that there are occasionally some decent ones out there.
Hey, don't lump me in with all the ones you don't like. I'd like to think I'm decent. :p

Come on over, sexpot, and I'll introduce you to some hot Pagan fun! :evil:

Hey, you know that I know that you know I know you know I know you're a freak. :shocked: It's been waaaaaay too long for me. ;) Let's see, how long of a drive would that be?


EDIT:

I've always LOVED the word sexpot. It brings up images/thoughts of just pure sexiness, sex, desire, deep raspy voices. . . .:D

...so she placed more weight in her profession than in her religion. it has nothing to do with the faith in itself, and everything to deal with her own willingness to compromise it.

good effort trying to be climactic, though.

Yay for the nuns! I think Jesus would have done the same thing. Life sucks and then you die is all too true for that poor kid... what he wanted was normal and natural, too bad he wasn't able to find a girlfriend. I am sure he tried. :(

"It is not our job to make moral decisions for our guests. We came to the conclusion that it was our duty of care to support Nick emotionally and to help ensure his physical safety."

She is a free thinker, and realizes that her duty and her mission is to help the person even if she doesn't agree with what he chooses to do. I don't think the nun supports the decision, but it isn't her responsibility to get in this boys way. It is sad though, and when he gets a little older I am betting he may regret his decision.

When he gets a little bit older, he'll probably be dead.

You have to wonder what kind of prostitute advertises in a magazine for the disabled.

That may be true. Who knows? Stephen Hawkings is still living and doing well with kids and a new wife. He did very well for himself in life despite his disability. I am just saying. I am still a virgin, and I could get hit by a bus tomorrow or stabbed in the back while being mugged. Who knows?

I am not judging the guy. It was his decision, but I know that I personally would regret the decision if things began to work out in my favor.

I am more commending the nun for treating the situation with care even though she may not agree with the boys decision.

I fail to see why he'd regret it. He experienced something he probably wouldn't be able to in the remainder of his life. It's good that there was someone who could help him do that.

Odds are in favour of you losing your virginity before snuffing it so you can afford to bide your time if that's what you want to do. This guy isn't so fortunate.

One that doesn't want to work on the streets and prefers a less threatening environment? I'd imagine a disabled client would be more appreciative and respectful than the average trick. Maybe they had a disabled relative and don't have a stigma about disabled people*

*not saying you do

amazing how a nun can figure out that people should be allowed to make their own decisions, but a health care worker in another thread decided that a rape victim could not choose to take the morning after pill.

No offense to you, but Stephen Hawkings is the Einstein of our age and is a major exception. Because of his intellect, he is also very financially well off too, which helps to ensure a mate.

I'm not a Christian but you scare me with your unhealthy Japanese girls obsession.
