Yeah, I think it almost has to come into play at some point for most mongers, because the world of MERB indies and agencies is so limited in scope and so restrictive in practice that almost everyone is going to want to take off the training wheels and experiment a bit outside of the safe zone...

I'm not talking about MERB. Say whatever shit you want on the website. I'm talking about during the session with the client, or on your personal website.

Why does any of this shit need to come up at all? With all the things in the world to talk about is it really necessary to bring up things like politics, religion and PC views during a session? I know this is a bit abstract because either the client or the SP could bring anything up at any...

It might not be necessary. As I said, it depends in large part on how you source the companions. If I was going to see @Rebaynia or @Julia Sky I probably wouldn't worry about it (except for the screening. nobody gets that). If I was seeing someone new from LL or an indy MP then I definitely...

when you get around a little more you might look at it a bit differently, depending on how you source your companions. The laws actually have absolutely nothing to do with it. It's not even necessarily that it's something that happened to you, but word gets around about all the potential scams...

Do you use your regular name, home phone number and email for work?

Most of these things are common sense (with some experience) and very quick to do. It takes longer to describe them than actually do them, except for the license plate thing, which I agree is a little extreme. It takes no effort at all to leave a wallet in the car and take cash only in your...

You can't go around saying stuff like that. They're gonna kick you out of the union! :)

Welp, the left also has a list as long as you arm about the terrible horrible things that the people on the right want to do, or have done, and a list of the wonderful things they want to do. It's really just a question of perspective because most of these lists are about preferences and...

Meh. The right has been calling the left "communist" for the last 8 years. Like I said before, everybody's guilty! lol. :)

Hmmm. Don't think I can go with that one. The definition's not inclusive enough. If you see people on crutches or in wheelchairs for example you shouldn't have to be told to hold it for them. Also, how much extra space do cute girls get? I mean, if we'r being honest don't we stretch the wait...

I wasn't commenting on any of this stuff, nor judging people's general political leanings or preferences, except at the extremes of either side of the spectrum. My point was simply that either side saying "you do this and we don't" is full of shit, because the left and the right are both equally...

Corollary question. At what point/distance/speed is it rude to not hold the elevator door for someone coming your way?

Well, if you have to ask someone to say thanks to you (who isn't a 6 year old) then you're clearly swimming in the wrong pond anyway. Random people shouldn't demand gratitude. totally agree with you.

Well, it's clearly not random because it was targeted and done with intent. I'm just not willing to jump to the conclusion that it's professional, or that it's terrorism, or that it was an angry ex-girlfriend, or that it was unhappy Joe Blow next door without knowing who the assailant was and...

"It was a professional hit" was a factual statement? based on what? I'll retract my comment and apologize if you can support that statement based on any info currently available.

So, here's where I'm at. I despise the far left fantasists and their frankly ridiculous and impractical ideas. I equally despise the far right wingnuts whose ideas aren't supported by anyone with a rational brain. My problem is that both extremes are the most vocal groups and both make the...

I promise that I will, if you will also make a change and stop making statements unsupported by evidence.

A-ha! Kindness is its own reward! I may have to re-evaluate how I perceive and interact with my fellow humans. :)

Ah. Blue jeans and a black t-shirt. The sure fire trademark of the professional assassin. How about if we let them catch somebody first, and then decide the quality and the capacity of the assailants' murderous ability.
